INTRODUCTION TO CLASS 5AB 11AB QURAN:

Teaching a child to read Arabic is a blessing and an honour, as you

are equipping them with the ability to read the Holy Quran. HADITH

about everything in existence prays for the forgiveness of the

person who teaches the Quran, even the fish in the sea. With this

weighty task in front of us, it is important to keep in mind that all

success is from Allah.

We are now introducing recitation of Quran for all the Students, in

the hope of bringing all our Students to one level of recitation.

For those Students who are in the process of learning how to recite

Quran, a separate Quran Manual will also be given.

For those Students who are already reciting Quran, some rules

included in this Manual will be taught to them to improve their

recitation further.

All Students will do the Tafsir part of the syllabus and attempt the

Quran Coursework which is at the beginning of this Manual.

Recite the Holy Quran and Memorise it. Allah (swt) will notpunish the heart in which the Quran has been placed.

(Imam Jafar As Sadiq (A))

TOPIC 1: THE RESPECT OF THE HOLY QURAN AND THE AKHLAQ OF ITSRECITATION

The Holy Qur'an is a book containing the words of Allah. It should be treated with therespect it deserves. This respect should also extend to any book, such as this manual,

wherein there are verses of the Holy Quran.

In this lesson we will learn how to respect the Holy Quran and how to recite it.

1. The words of the Holy Qur'an should only be touched after doingWudhu. Allah says: None should touch it except the purified.(al-Wqi`h, 56:79)

2. Always begin the recitation with Ta`awwudh. Allah says:When you recite the Quran, seek refuge in Allah from Shaitan, the accursed

(an-Nahl, 16:98)

Ta awwudh means to recite UjA BrA }BI gAWhich means, I seek refuge in Allah, from Shaitan, the accursed.

3. After Ta`awwudh, recitecoB coB B tQwhich means, I begin in the name of A llah, The Beneficent, The Merciful .

4. Even if you know the verses by heart, it is better to recite while looking at the words,as this increases the rewards many times.

5. It is Mustahab to recite the Holy Qur'an with your head covered and while facing theQiblah.

Cover the head Face Qiblah

6.The Holy Quran should be recited without rushing, in a clear manner.

Allah says:

4 WoW DoB WnAnd reci te the Quran in a regulated tone. (Al -Muzzammil, 73:4)

7. When the Quran is being recited, listen attentively and do not eat or talk.Allah says:And when the Qur an is recited, listen to i t wi th (ful l) attent ion, so that you may

be blessed wi th mercy. (Al-A`raf, 7:204)

8. Do not leave the Holy Qur'an open and unattended or in a place where it may bedisrespected. Recite from it regularly and do not leave it unread on the shelf.Allah says:

And the Prophet (S) shall say, O my Lord! Veri ly my people abandoned thisQuran. (Al-Furqan, 25:30)

10. Worn-out pages of the Holy Qur'an or paper with verses of theHoly Qur'an must not be thrown in the bin, Instead they should be Re-cycled or buried.

TOPIC 2: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE HOLY QURAN

Allah sent 124,000 Prophets for the guidance of mankind. To some of these Prophets,he gave a set of rules and instructions that the prophets left behind in the form ofbooks.

The Divine Books were:

According to many traditions, the revelation of the Holy Quran began on the 23rd nightof the month of Ramadhan (Laylatul Qadr). They began when the Prophet (S) was 40years old and continued for the next 23 years.

The Holy Quran broadly contains:

1. Ahkam: These are verses about the Furu-e-Din from which theMujtahidn prepare the various Fatwas to do with Salaat, Sawm,Haj etc.

2. Tareekh: These are the verses that narrate the history of peoplewho lived before our Holy Prophet (S).

3. `Aqaid: These are verses that explain the Belief in the Unity of Allah, the Prophet(S) and the Day of J udgement.

4. Akhlaq: The verses outline the moral behaviourthat Muslims are required to observe.

TAWHEED ADAALAT NABUWWAT IMAAMAT QIYAAMAT

TAWRAT toProphet Musa (A) ZABUR ToProphet Dawood (A)

INJIL toProphet Isa (A)

QURAN ToProphet Muhammad (S)


6/24


The Holy Quran therefore contains gu idance that teaches a man about:

- His duties to himself i.e. how to lead a successful life in thisworld and the hereafter.

- How to act with other people i.e. how to contribute as an

individual towards the betterment of society.- His duty to his Creator i.e. how to worship Allah.

Merits of Recital of the Holy Quran

There are many Ahadith (sayings) of the Holy Prophet (S) and our Aimmah (A) on thereward and blessing of reciting the Holy Quran. Only some are quoted here:

The Prophet (S) has said, The most excellent amongst you is the one who learns theQuran and teaches it to others.

The more Quran is recited in a home, the greater the good for it . The lives of thepeople in the house are made easier. When the angels view this house f rom theheavens they see it shining in the same way as stars seen from the earth.

The heart gathers rust just like iron; remove this rust by reciting the Quran.

Imam `Ali (A) has said,

Whosoever recites 100 verses daily from the Book (Holy Quran) in the order it is in,Al lh writes for him the reward equal to all the good actions of every one on this earth .


7/24


TOPIC 3: DIVISIONS IN THE HOLY QURAN

The text of the Holy Qur'an has been divided in various ways. These are:

1. Ayah pl. Ayat ( PBA , A)In Àrabic, Ayah means sign, and in the Holy Quran, it means a verse. Thus, each and

every verse of the Holy Qur'an is a sign of Allah. There are various numbers given forthe total Ayat in the Holy Qur'an. Syed Akhtar Rizvi mentions 6236 in his book Quranand Hadith.

2. Srah p l. Suwar(im , im)In Arabic, Surah means an enclosure and in the Holy Qur'an, it means a chapter.

There are 114 Suwar in the Holy Qur'an. The longest of them is al-Baqarah with 286Ayat, and the shortest is al-Kauthar with only 4 Ayat.

3. Manzil p l. Manzil( kB , l)In Àrabic, Manzil means a phase. The Holy Qur'an has been divided into seven

Manzil, for convenience of recitation. So a person wishing to recite the entire Quranin one week may do so by reciting one Manzil a day. Each such position in the HolyQur'an is marked by the word Manzil.

4. Juz pl. Ajza( AlUA , lU)The Muslims have divided the Holy Qur'an into 30 equal parts (Juz in Arabic or Prain Urdu). This division is just for convenience. So a person who wishes to recite thewhole Quran in one month (as in the month of Ramadhan) may do so by reciting one

J uz every day. In the Holy Qur'an, the beginning of the J uz` is usually marked by ablacked line.

5. Rub`, Nisf , Thalathah (QQA , v , Ii

)Each J uz is divided into quarters, again for the convenience of recitation into Rub`

(quarter), Nisf (half) and Thalathah (three-quarter, shortened to three).

6. Ruku`, pl. Rukuat( PBi , i)These are like paragraphs or sections, containing 7-12 Ayat. For example, al-Fatihah(1st Surah) has 7 Ayat, grouped in one Ruku , while al-Baqarah (2nd Surah) has 286Ayat, grouped into 40 Rukuat.

The place of Ruku` is denoted by the letter . The letter has three numbers, one at thetop, one in its middle and one below it.

The number at the top signif ies the number that this Ruku` is in the Surah.The number in the middle sign ifies the number of Ayat between the last Rukuànd the present one.The number at the bottom s ignifies the number that this Ruku` is in the Juz.

So, in this example from Srah al-Baqarah,This is the 23rd Ruku in the Surah,there are 6Ayat between Ruku number 22 and 23, and this is the7th Ruku in this J uzand this is the 7th Ruku in this J uz.

TOPIC 4: SURATUL-FIL

Introduction

This Surah was revealed in Makka. It has five verses. It is Surah number 105 in the

Holy Quran.

Al-Fil means The Elephant. The name of the Surah comes from the mention of thearmy of elephants mentioned in the first verse. Some reports say that there was onlyone elephant.

In 570 AD, the year of the birth of our Prophet (S), a Christian governor by the name ofAbraha marched to Makka to destroy the Holy Kaàba. By destroying the Holy Kaàba,Abraha wanted people to come instead to worship at a huge church he had built atSana in Yemen. Abrahas army also had elephants, which were a rare sight inÀrabia. History calls this army Ashabul Fil or The People of the Elephant.

When he reached Makka, he captured some camels belonging to the chief of Makka,Abdul Muttalib, the grandfather of the Prophet (S). When Abdul Muttalib went to see

him, Abraha thought he would ask him to spare the Holy Kaàba. Instead, ÀbdulMuttalib asked for the camels to be returned.

Abraha laughed and said, What! I have come to destroy your place of worship, andyou are speaking of your camels! Àbdul Muttalib gave a famous reply, I am theowner of the camels, so I have come for them. The Kaàba too has an Owner,Who will look after it

This statement showed that the ancestors of the Prophet (S) were also firm in theirfaith in Allah.

Abraha ignored this warning and tried to invade the Holy Kaàba with his elephants.The Surah recounts what happened to the army.

Ayah 1. The proud army was crushed by small birds carrying little stones in theirbeaks and claws. Each stone fell on target, killing men and animals instantly. Allahshows how the power displayed by Abraha was defeated by the smallest of His

creatures.

Ayah 2. The verse refers to the great confusion caused in the army of Abraha by thearrival of the birds. Many fell dead, and the survivors, including Abraha, began to runaway.

Ayah 3,4. The birds were tiny, yet their effect was great, because they had the help ofAllah.

Ayah 5. The appearance of the remains of the army after the birds had gone, was likestraw that has been chewed by cows, broken and useless.

TOPIC 5: SURATUL QURAISH

Introduction

This Surah was revealed in Makka. It has four verses. It is Surah number 106 in the

Holy Quran. The name of the Surah is from the mention in the first verse, of thefavours of Allah to this tribe.

The Surah is a continuation of the previous Surah, Al-Fil. Many scholars consider thetwo Surahs as one, and Ayatullah Sistani has stated that if one recites Al-Fil as thesecond Surah, then one must also recite Al-Quraish.

4 g D _ F mB(He) Who fed them against hunger, and secured them against fear.


12/24


Tafsir:

Ayah 1. The Quraish were the chief tribe in Makka. They were descendants ofProphet Isma il (A). The Prophet (S) belonged to this tribe. They were knownthroughout Àrabia because the Holy Ka`ba was in their city and they were its

guardians.

Ayah 2. In the summer the Quraish would go for trade to Syria and in the winter, toYemen. Despite the dangers from robbers on the journey, the Quraish enjoyed safetyand respect because of their position as the custodians of the Holy Kaàba.

Ayah 3. Since the Holy Ka`ba was the reason for their protection, Allah invited them toworship the Lord of the House. The Quraish monopolised the trade throughout thenorth and south of Àrabia because of the importance of the Kaàba. The thought oflosing this political advantage made them oppose the message of Islam instead ofembracing it.

Ayah 4. Allah reminded the Quraish that despite the harsh land, they do not go hungryand despite the lawlessness, they were protected. For these blessings from Allh, theyshould be grateful.

Simple Tafsir

Ayah 255: In this one verse is contained all we can ever know about Allah. There is nogod but He. He is never inattentive to the needs of His creation. On the Day of

J udgement, there will be no intercession for anyone except with Allahs permission.

Kursi means chair, but here it refers to the knowledge and authority of Allah.

Ayah 256:There is no compulsion in religion means that you cannot force anyone toaccept Islam. A Muslim was forcing his slave to become Muslim when this verse wasrevealed. It does not mean that we do not have to follow the rules of Shar ia once webecome Muslims (as some people think.)

According to Imam Muhammad al Baqir (A), the strong rope al Urwatul Wuthqarefers to following the guidance of the Holy Aimmah (A).

Ayah 257: In this verse, Wali means that Allah is close to the believers while thedisbelievers are under the influence of the Taghut or Shaitan. While Allah bringspeople out of the darkness of ignorance into the light of knowledge, Shaitan takes hisfollowers into the darkness of disbelief.
