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 behaviour thatMuslims 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)


6/23


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 v iew this house from 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 act ions of every one on this earth .


7/23


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 6 Ayat between Ruku number 22 and 23,and this is the 7th Ruku in this J uz.

TOPIC 4: SURAH AL HUMAZAH - INTRODUCTION

This Surah was revealed in Makka. It has nine verses. It is Surah number 104 in theHoly Quran. Humazah means Slanderer. This is a person who speaks evil ofothers, is a back-biter and loves to spread scandal.

Text and Translation coB coB B tQIn the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

9/23


Tafsir

Ayat 1-9: The Surah talks about the punishment for the onewho slanders, the one who backbites, and the miser whohoards.

The one who slanders andattacks the honour and characterof others is of no use to societyand his doom is in Hutamah. Thisis a fire that destroys utterly everything cast into it, body aswell as soul.

The same punishment is for themiser, whose hoarded wealth is of

no use to anyone, even himself. Imam Ali (A) has said that he

wonders at the miser - in this world he lives as the poor man,but in the next world he will be judged along with the wealthy.

While this Surah is a warning for all believers, it was revealedwith regard to the activities of Akhnas bin Saqfi. This man wasrich, loved to hoard wealth and his favourite activity was tospread false rumours and scandal about the Prophet (S).

J udgement.

11/23


Ayat 6, 7: On that day everything will ceaseto have value except ones deeds. All formsof wealth will have no meaning. The people,who have more good deeds than evil ones,will be happy. They will be given the goodnews of heaven.

Tafsir

Ayah 1:The calamity refers to the great upheaval that willprecede the Day of J udgement. There will be a great strikingnoise and the whole face of the world will change - all the

false appearances and false values will disappear, to bereplaced with the frightening reality of the end of the world.

Ayat 2, 3: Since nothing like this scene or noise has everhappened, it is impossible to even correctly imagine what itwould be like.

Ayah 4: The terror caused by these scenes in the minds of the people willcause them to flee in all directions, looking for shelter. To give us an idea ofwhat it will be like, the verse mentions the scattering of moths.

Ayah 5: Even the solid mountains, that look immovable, willbe broken like loose wool.

Ayat 8, 9: As for the disobedient ones, their evil deeds willoutweigh their good deeds. There will be no more time torepent and they will be thrown into hell. Hawiyah is abottomless pit of hell.

Ayat 9, 10: The nature and torment of Hawiyah cannotbe understood by man. The only clue we have is that it will be a pit containing blazingfire. May Allah protect us from this punishment.

14/23


Tafsir

Ayat 1-4: Here Allahmentions the contrast found innature.The darkness of night

is contrasted with the light ofthe day. The nature of men iscontrasted with that ofwomen. Similarly, theconclusion is found in verse 4,where it is stated that mansaims in life are diverse - eithertowards good or in contrast, towards evil.

Ayat 5-11:The righteous Muslim is identified as one who isgenerous with what he has been blessed with, one who is

mindful of the limits set by Allah and one who sincerely believesin Islam. For such a person, Allah makes the path easier so thatthe journey to heaven is smoother. In contrast, the evil onesadopt miserliness, greed, arrogance and they belittle Islam. Forthem, Allah makes the path to Hell smoother. And the richeswhich he was so proud of will be of no use to him in thehereafter.

Ayat 12-21: Allah has taken upon Himself theresponsibility for the guidance of humanity. To this

end He sent books, messengers and guides. Afterthat, man was allowed to use his freedom of choiceto decide his own actions. For those who choose todefy and disobey Allah, a blazing fire awaits. Theyare described as the most wretched. On the otherhand, those who choose the path of obedience andpiety, for them awaits eternal bliss in the next life.

They will be the content ones.
