A few simple rules are followed  by Muslims in regard to the   Quran

A few simple rules are followed by Muslims in regard to the Quran:   We have to be ‘clean’ when we touch the Quran. Generally by clean (as in 56:79 above) means that one should not be in need of ‘Ghusl’ or complete washing of the body (e.g. after having sex or a menstruating woman, etc.). It may be preferable to be in a state of ablution (wadu) while reciting the Quran. When we start reading the Quran we should remember this Ayat:                    فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ 16:98 When thou dost read the Qur'an, seek Allah's protection from Satan the         rejected one. Thus at the start of Quran recitation one should seek Allah’s protection against Satan by saying: أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيطَانِ الرَّجِيم  I seek God’s protection from Satan, the accursed.   There are 14 locations in the Quran where ‘Sajda’ or prostration should be performed. It is indicated in the Quran by a horizontal line placed over the word justifying the prostration and there is an exact prostration sign where one actually performs the prostration. There is also Sajda سَجْدَة written in the margin.    Recitation of the Quran should be done in due measure:

why must we understand the Quran?

                          Why must we understand the Quran?

Will they not then ponder over the Quran, or is it that they have locks on their hearts!? [Quran, 47:24]

(This is) a Scripture that We have revealed unto thee, full of blessing, that they may ponder its revelations, and that men of understanding may reflect.[Quran, 38:29]

The Quran is a guide to humanity which also includes you, dear reader. Since none of us want to be misguided, it is paramount not only to read or recite the Quran, but to understand and implement it in our lives as well.

The Basic Course was the first course developed in 2004. We now developed above two short courses which are the thoroughly improved versions of the Understand Quran Basic course,  with notes, tips ‘n tricks and exercises. Therefore, we refer you to get started and benefit from them as they are three times better than the Basic Course. So get started here !

Introduction of understanding Quran

 

UNDERSTANDING QURAN

Introduction

The Quran is not an ordinary book. It is the word of God transmitted to us through Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) . The communication between Muhammad (pbuh) and God was achieved through Angel Gabriel.   قُلْ مَن كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِّجِبْرِيلَ فَإِنَّهُ نَزَّلَهُ عَلَى قَلْبِكَ بِإِذْنِ اللّهِ مُصَدِّقاً لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَهُدًى وَبُشْرَى لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ   2:97 Say: Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel-for he brings down the (revelation) to thy heart by Allah's will, a confirmation of what went before, and guidance and glad tidings for those who believe.   It is natural then for us to treat this treasure of information with great respect. The greatest respect one can show to the Quran is by reading it, understanding it, teaching it to others, and applying its message in one’s daily life. This cannot be achieved by placing it on a high ledge in the house where it collects.     فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَاقِعِ النُّجُومِ 56:75 Furthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars,- وَإِنَّهُ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ 56:76 And that is indeed a mighty adjuration if ye but knew,-       إِنَّهُ لَقُرْآنٌ كَرِيمٌ 56:77 That this is indeed a qur'an Most Honorable, فِي كِتَابٍ مَّكْنُونٍ 56:78 In Book well-guarded, لَّا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ 56:79 Which none shall touch but those who are clean: تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ 56:80 A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds. أَفَبِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ 56:81 Is it such a Message that ye would hold in light esteem?

THE ARABIC ALPHABET

The Arabic Alphabet: ء ا  ب ت ث ج ح خ د ذ ر ز س ش  ص ض  ط ظ ع غ  ف ق ك ل م ن و ه لا ى     The Arabic Vowels: Short Vowels:   َ     Fatha (Zabar);    ُ       Dammah (Paish);   ِ    Kasrah (Zair)  Long Vowels:         ِى         ُو           َا   Madd:     ىۤ            وۤ          آ      While reading the Quran a short vowel has the duration of one Haraka (movement), a long vowel is double that duration and Madd should be pronounced 3-4 times longer than a short vowel.   The different ways of writing Hamza:  ٱ  A Wasla is written like a small Sad on top of alif. Please don't confuse it with Dammah (paish). It indicates that the sound of the Hamza will not be pronounced unless the reading starts from the word whose first letter is Hamza tul Wasl. On the other hand Hamza tul Qat is always pronounced.      ٱ        ء         أ         إ         ؤ         ئ       Sukun or Jazma: Indicates absence of a vowel sound.   Tanween or Nunation:  Noon sound at the end of certain nouns and adjectives is indicated with a double short vowel. Fatha tanween is written with an additional alif as its seat and pronounced as long vowel alif when we pause on the word carrying this tanween. Kasrah and Dammah tanweens are not pronounced when pausing.   اً  =  اَنْ            ٌ =  اُنْ             ٍ =   اِنْ  Shadd or Tashdeed: Consonant is doubled.   إِنْنَ =  إِنَّ   .     ّ  Dagger Alif: Pronounced just like the long vowel alif:  بَا = بٰ  .  جَا = جٰ     Abbreviated Alif: Ya preceeded by Fatha is pronounced just like the long vowel alif.    َى   =     َىٰ    =     ىٰ                    Ta Marbuta:   ة    ﺔ     (ت / ه )     If it is at the end of a word where you pause in your reading then a Ha sound is pronounced, e.g., Salah in place of salat. It changes to a regular Ta in the middle of a word. ------------   Previous   Intro   1   2   3   4   4b   5   6   7   8   9  10  Next    [Home]    [Feedback]    [Tell-Your-Friends]    [Print This Page]
