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 this

Quran. (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 beRe-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: SURAH AL QADR

INTRODUCTION

This Surah was revealed in Makka. It has five verses. It is Surah number 97 in the

Holy Quran.

The word al-Qadr means Glorious or Highest Ranking. Two main topics arediscussed; the revelation of the Holy Quran and the Night of Qadr.

With regard to the revelation of the Holy Quran, from other verses, we see that therewere four stages to the Holy Qurans existence.

The first stage was in Lawh-al-Mahfuz or the Preserved Tablet.This is mentioned in Suratul Buruj , 85:21,22.

This was where the wisdom of the Holy Quran was known only to Allah.

In the second stage it was revealed in its entirety into the heart of the Holy Prophet(S), and he had a complete knowledge of it spiritually.This is mentioned in Suratush Shu`ara, 26:193,194.

The third stage of the Holy Qurans existence was when it was revealed in its fullchapter by chapter form to the Holy Prophet (S).This is referred to in the first verse of Suratul Qadr.

The fourth stage was when the Holy Quran was revealed verse by verse, as andwhen a situation demanded it. When a verse was brought by the Angel J ibrail (A), theHoly Prophet (S) would then recite it to the Muslims and explain its meaning.

The second topic covered in this Surah is that of Laylatul Qadr, or the Night of Qadr.Some scholars have translated Qadr as determination of destiny.

In the night of Qadr, whatever everyone is to receive that year is decided. This is whythe Holy Prophet (S) has directed the believers to stay awake the whole night inprayer, seeking forgiveness for ones sins and asking for ones desires.

On this night the question of sustenance, life and death of every individual is decided.It is a night on which Allah invites everyone to seek His pardon and mercy.

Tafsir

Ayah 1: The Holy Quran was revealed in its fullchapter by chapter form to the Holy Prophet (S) onthis night. He then related it to the people insections as and when instructed by Allah through

J ibra il (A).

Ayah 2: This challenge isa hint that the merits andblessings of this night cannot fully be understood andappreciated by man.

Ayah 3: The thousand nights refers to a timeless concept.It means that a moment of enlightenment gained in this night

under Allahs special guidance is better than a thousand months spent in ignorance.

Ayah 4: This describes the constant traffic ofangels and J ibra il (A) coming down to theearth throughout the night, offering AllahsBlessings to the believers who are awake,worshipping Him.

The word Amr meaning the affairs affectingthe creation raises the question as to who isthe recipient of these decrees. It is our beliefthat these are brought to Sahibul Amr, Imam

Muhammad al-Mahdi (A). This verse proves that the Hujjat(Proof) of Allah always exists on earth. Imam Muhammad al-Baqir(A) has said: Argue against those who deny the continui ty of the DivineAppointment on earth, wi th this Surah

Ayah 5: This verse indicates that the peace due to the specialmercy of Allah on this night continues all the way till the next day.

The Holy Prophet (S) has said that one who recites this Surah is regarded by Allah as thoughhe fasted the month of Ramadhan and spent Laylatul Qadr worshipping his Creator.

Imam Ja`far as-Sadiq (A) has said that whoever recites this Surah in one of the obligatoryprayers will be addressed: "O servant of Al lah! Your past sins have been forgiven, so resumeyour good deeds!"

And he has also said, "Whoever recites i t audibly wil l be like one rais ing his sword indefence of Islam, and if he recites it silently wi ll be regarded as though he died a martyr forthe cause of Islam, and if someone recites it ten times, a thousand of his sins will beforgiven."

It is recommended to recite this Surah ten times at the graveside of a freshly buried Muslim,to greatly ease his anxiety.
