Quran Word-for-Word Translation to facilitate learning of Quranic Arabic

Volume - 1 Juz 1 - 10

Dr. Shehnaz Shaikh M.B.B.S., M.D. Ms. Kausar Khatri B.Com., B.Ed.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

PREFACE Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, Who has said in His Noble Book,

“(This is) a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, that they may ponder over its Verses and those of understanding would be reminded.” [Al-Quran 38:29];

“Then do they not ponder upon the Quran, or are there locks upon their hearts.” [Al-Quran 47:24].

“And to recite the Quran, and whoever is guided is only guided for (the benefit of) his own soul.” [Al-Quran 27:92]. And may peace and blessings of Allah be upon the Prophet, Muhammad (SAWS), who said: “The best among you is he who learns the Quran and then teaches it (to others).” [Bukhari]. Obligations of the Quran on every Muslim Based on the Quran and Hadith, it can be said that every Muslim has the following obligations towards the Quran • To believe in the Quran; • To read it and recite it daily; • To understand its commandments; • To act upon its teachings; and • To convey its teachings to others It is obvious that most of these obligations cannot be fully discharged unless the understanding of the Quran is acquired! When those who were given the book of Allah could no longer prove themselves to be its worthy bearers, they were described as donkeys laden with books. Allah (SWT) says,

“The likeness of those who were entrusted with the Taurat then they did not bore it (i.e., failed in the obligations), is like the donkey who carries volumes (of books but understands nothing from them).” [Al-Quran 62:5].

On the Day of Judgment our beloved Prophet (SAWS) will say:

“And the Messenger will say, ‘O my Lord! Indeed, my people treated this Quran as a forsaken thing.’” [Al-Quran 25:30]. Most of us devote a precious part of our lives to build our careers. We study a number of books, most of them in detail, in our schools, colleges, and universities. All these hardships are made to achieve the worldly gains. Do we devote at least a small percentage of our lifetime to the study of the Quran, which contains true guidance for achieving the success in this life and in the eternal life hereafter? We want newspaper as soon as we get up in the morning and we read books and magazines of our fancy. It is indeed very sad that we have plenty of time at our disposal for everything except for studying the Quran. Only if we could regularly recite the Quran with understanding, it would not only strengthen our faith but revolutionize our true relationship with Allah. Importance of Understanding the Quran via the Arabic Text The Quran is revealed in Arabic. It is neither prose nor poetry but a unique combination of both. It is simply inimitable and untranslatable. However, in spite of the limitations of translation, a sincere reader of the Quran will not be deprived of guidance. The message of the Quran is so powerful that it will have its due effect on the reader even if one reads the ‘translation’ only. But to feel the real charm of its originality by one's heart, mind, and reason, and ultimately by the soul, one should understand the Quran via the Arabic text. We are linked with the Quran through one or all of the following sources: one's own recitation, listening to it in individual/congregational prayers, and audio and video channels. However, it is essential that we understand the full message of our Creator. Easy to learn It may be emphasized here that there are around 80,000 words in the Quran but the actual words are only around 2000!!! This could also be termed as one of the many miracles of the Quran. Accordingly, if a reader decides to learn only 10 new words everyday, he can understand the basic message of the Quran within a period of seven months! So it is indeed very easy to understand the Quran, provided one is willing to learn it.

“And We have certainly made the Quran easy to understand and remember, so is there any who will remember (or receive admonition)?” [Al-Quran 54:17, 22, 32, 40]. See the video of a student of Al-Muminah School, Mumbai, India, titled “Even children can learn the Quran word-for-word” at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UL7gYBb1CBc

ii

This present work may not be termed as an addition to the existing translations, but an attempt to equip the reader to understand the revelation directly from the text; thus it will Insha-Allah be a very useful tool for those who are willing to study the Quran and try to understand it. A beginner can bear in mind the meanings of each Arabic word provided right below it. Since many words are repeated in the Quran, the student will find for himself that within a few months of regular study, he is indeed able to understand the Quran through the text itself. It may also be pointed out that a beginner does not have to, in the start itself, be worried about learning extensive grammar or how to speak the Arabic language. In fact, one has to develop vocabulary before learning grammar for the following reasons: • A child first learns words and then starts linking them together. We speak our mother tongue fluently without ever learning the grammatical rules. That is to say, we learn it by repeatedly listening to the words. • Learning extensive grammar before improving vocabulary is like putting the cart before the horse. Or it is like learning different styles of swimming by moving hands in the air inside a swimming pool without water. One has to fill the swimming pool with water (i.e., increase vocabulary) and then learn to swim (i.e., to connect the words with grammatical rules).

Importance of daily recitation

“Indeed, those who recite the Book of Allah, and establish prayer, and spend out of what We have provided them secretly and openly, they hope for a transaction (profit) that will never perish.” [Al-Quran 35:29]. We should therefore make it binding upon ourselves, among others, to recite the Quran everyday along with an effort to understand it via the Arabic text. If we recite one Ju'z (para) everyday, we can complete the Quran once every month. This will not only strengthen our faith but also revolutionize our relationship with Allah. Some features of this work: Even though there are many translations of the meanings of the Quran, they do not help the reader in linking the Arabic words to their meanings. The only purpose of this word-for-word translation is to facilitate learning the language of the Quran. Even though a few word-for-word translations exist but the format of the present work is different from them. • The meaning of each word is given right below it. • The translation provided in the left column is kept close to the Arabic and not literal. The objective of the whole exercise is to enable the reader understand directly from Arabic. • Last, but not the least, the layout is such that it can also be used for regular recitation enabling constant revision.

iii

Also, please note: •

The square brackets [ ] is placed on such words which are necessary in Arabic sentence structure but are not used in the English sentence structure. For example, look at [the] below:

(of) [the] Judgment.

•

(of the) Day

(The) Master

Parentheses ( ) are placed on those words which are not there explicitly in the Arabic text but the structure of the complete Arabic sentence conveys the meanings which include those words. For example, look at (is) below:

In translating the words, every effort is made to choose the English word from the existing authentic Quran translations. Among others, we have benefited from the translations of Saheeh International, Abdullah Yusuf Ali, Pickthall, Shakir, Muhammad Mohar Ali, Muhammad Asad, Muhammad Taqi-ud-din Al-Hilali and Muhammad Muhsin Khan extensively. The compilers will be grateful to those who can spare some time and communicate the errors, if any, to them. InshaAllah, they will be corrected in future editions of this work. Acknowledgements Up to the fourth Juz (para) Shaikh Abdul Ghafoor Parekh and up to the first Juz (para) and a part of second Juz (para) Dr. Abdulazeez Abdulraheem and Mr. Mohammad Abdulazeez Saadi were extensively involved in this work. However, after that they could not continue because of their busy schedules. Dr. Abdul-Moiz, graduate Jamia Nizamia, Ph.D., Osmania University, Hyderabad; Lecturer, Department of Arabic, Delhi University has reviewed this work. A number of other people have helped in accomplishing this huge task. We are indebted to them for all their help. May Allah reward them abundantly, Dr. Mohammed Rafiqul Awal (Ph.D.) and Mr. Faisal Mujtaba Ahmed (M.S.) for developing macros and other programs for facilitating this work; Mr. Nazeeruddin (M.S.), Mr. Raziuddin (M.S.), Mr. Tariq Maghrabi (M.S.) Mr. Jehangir Pasha (M.S.), Mr. Mir Ali Shajee (M.S.), Mr. Mujtaba Shareef (M.S.), Mr. Arifus Salam Shaikh (M.S.), and Mr. Abul Bashar (M.S.) for their help in providing different translations in a format that was easily accessible for cross checking.

And (recall) when Musa said to his people, “O my people! Indeed you have wronged yourselves by taking the calf (for worship). So turn in repentance to your Creator and kill yourselves.

Go down to (any) city and indeed you will have what you have asked for.” And humiliation and misery were struck upon them and they drew on themselves the wrath of Allah. That was because they used to disbelieve in the Signs ofAllah

12 and kill the Prophets without any right. That was because they disobeyed and they were transgressing. 62. Indeed, those who believed, and those who became Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians - who believed inAllah and the Last Day and did righteous deeds, will have their reward with their Lord; they will have no fear, nor will they grieve. 63. And when We took your covenant, and We raised above you the mount (saying), “Hold firmly that which We have given you, and remember what is in it, perhaps you would become righteous.” 64. Then even after that you turned away. Had it not been for the Grace and Mercy of Allah upon you, surely you would have been among the losers. And indeed, you 65. knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath. So We said to them, “Be apes, despised.” 66. And We made it a deterrent punishment for those who were present and those who succeeded them and an admonition for those who fearAllah. 67. And when Musa said to his people, “Indeed, Allah commands you to slaughter a cow,” they said, “Do you take us in ridicule?” He said,

Is it not so, that whenever there came to you a Messenger with what you yourselves did not desire, you acted arrogantly? So a party (of Messengers) you denied and another party you killed. 88. And they said, “Our hearts are wrapped.” Nay, Allah has cursed them for their disbelief; so little is that which they believe. 89. And when there came to them a Book (Qur’an) from Allah confirming what was with them, though before that they used to pray for victory over disbelievers - then when there came to them that which they recognized, they disbelieved in it. So the curse of Allah is on the disbelievers. 90. Evil is that for which they have sold themselves, that they disbelieved in what Allah has revealed, grudging that Allah sends down of His Grace upon whom He wills His from among servants. So they have drawn on themselves wrath upon wrath. And for the disbelievers is a humiliating punishment. 91. And when it is said to them, “Believe in what Allah has revealed,” they say, “We believe (only) in what was revealed to us.” And they disbelieve in what came after it, while it is

Say, “Whoever is an enemy to Jibreel - for indeed he has brought it (i.e., Quran) down upon your heart (O Muhammad!) by the permission of Allah, confirming what came before it and a guidance and glad tidings for the believers.” 98. Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His Angels, and His Messengers, and Jibreel and Meekael, then indeed Allah is an enemy to the disbelievers. 99. And indeed We revealed to you clear Verses, and none disbelieve in them except the defiantly disobedient. 100. Is it (not the case that) whenever they made a covenant, a party of them threw it away? Nay, most of them do not believe. 101. And when a Messenger of Allah came to them confirming that which was with them, a party of those who were given the Book threw away the Book of Allah behind their backs as if they did not know. 102. And they followed what the devils had recited over the kingdom of Sulaiman. It was not Sulaiman who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching

20 people magic and that which was sent down to the two angels, Harut and Marut in Babylon. But neither of these two taught anyone unless they had said, “We are only a trial, so do not disbelieve (by practicing magic).” And (yet) they learnt from those two that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they could not harm anyone with it except by Allah’s permission. And they learn that which harms them and does not profit them. And indeed they knew that whoever purchased it (i.e., magic) would not have any share in the Hereafter. And surely evil is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew.

And (remember) When We made the House (Kabah) a place of (frequent) return (i.e., pilgrimage) for mankind and a place of security and said, “Take the standing place of Ibrahim as a place of prayer.” And We made a covenant with Ibrahim and Ismail, (saying), “Purify My House for those who circumambulate it, and those who seclude themselves for devotion and prayer and those who bow down and prostrate.” 126.

When his Lord said to him, “Submit (yourself),” he said, “I have submitted myself to the Lord of the worlds.” 132. And Ibrahim enjoined upon his sons and so did Yaqub (saying), “O my sons! Indeed, Allah has chosen

And we are submissive to Him.” 134. That was a community which has passed away. It will have what (deeds) it earned and you will have what you have earned. And you will not be asked about what they used to do. 135. And they said, “Be Jews or Christians, then you will be guided.” Say, “Nay, (we follow) the religion of Ibrahim, the upright; and he was not of those who associated partners with Allah.” Say, “We have 136. believed in Allah and what is revealed to us and what was revealed to Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq and Yaqub and the descendants, and what was given to Musa and Isa and what was given to the Prophets from their Lord.

Legal retribution is prescribed for you in cases of murder, the freeman for the freeman, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But whoever is pardoned in any way by his brother then a suitable payment should be made to him in fairness. This is a concession and mercy from your Lord. But whoever transgresses after that, will have a painful punishment. 179. And in legal retribution there is (saving of) life for you, O men of understanding! So that you may become righteous. 180.

Then whoever changes it after he has heard it - the sin is only upon those who alter it. Indeed, Allah is AllHearing,All-Knowing. 182.

(Fasting is for) a limited number of days. So whoever among you is sick or on a journey, then an equal number of days (are to be made up) later. And upon those who can afford it - a ransom of feeding a poor. And whoever volunteers good then it is better for him. And if you fast, it is better for you, if you only knew. 185. Ramadhaan is the month in which the Quran was revealed as a Guidance for mankind and clear proofs of Guidance and the Criterion (of right and wrong). So whoever among you witnesses the month (of Ramadhaan) should fast in it; and whoever is sick or on a journey, then the prescribed number of days (should be made up) from other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship, so that you complete the prescribed period and that you magnify Allah for having guided you, so that you may be grateful. 186.

265. And the example of those who spend their wealth seeking the pleasure of Allah and with certainty of their inner souls, is like a garden on a height, falls on it heavy rain, so it yields double harvest. And (even) if it does not receive a heavy rain, then a drizzle (is sufficient). And Allah is All-Seer of what you do.

266. Would any of you like to have a garden of datepalms and grapevines, underneath which rivers flow, and therein he has all kinds of fruits, while he is stricken with old age and has weak children, then it is struck with whirlwind containing fire and hence it is burnt? Thus Allah makes (His) Signs clear to you so that you may ponder.

267. O you who believe! Spend from the good things, which you have earned and whatever We bought forth for you from the earth. And do not aim at that which is bad to spend from it, while you would not take it except with closed eyes. And know that Allah is Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.

274. Those who spend their wealth by night and by day, secretly and openly, they will have their reward with their Lord. And they will have no fear nor will they grieve.

275. Those who consume usury cannot stand (on the Day of Resurrection) except like the standing of a person whom Shaitaan has confounded by his touch. That is because they say, “Trade is only like usury.” While Allah has permitted trade but has forbidden usury. Then whoever after receiving the admonition from His Lord refrains from it, then whatever has passed, his case is with Allah. And those who repeat they are the companions of the Fire; they will abide in it forever.

276. Allah destroys usury and gives increase for charities.And Allah does not love any ungrateful sinner.

61. And when it is said to them, “Come to

118 to what Allah has revealed and to the Messenger,” you see the hypocrites turning away from you in aversion. 62. So how would it be when disaster befalls them because of what their hands had sent forth? Then they come to you swearing by Allah saying, “We intended nothing but good and reconciliation.” 63. Those are the ones about whom Allah knows what is in their hearts, so turn away from them and admonish them and speak to them penetrating words. 64. And We did not send any Messenger except to be obeyed by the permission ofAllah.And if, when they wronged themselves, they had come to you and asked Allah’s forgiveness and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, surely they would have found Allah Oft-Forgiving, MostMerciful. 65. But no, by your Lord, they will not believe until they make you judge about whatever arises between them and then do not find within themselves any discomfort about what you have decided and submit in (full) submission. 66. And if We had decreed on them, “Kill yourselves” or “Leave your homes,” they would have not done it except a few

And then We would have given them from Ourselves a great reward. 68. And We would have guided them to the straight way. 69. And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger, then they will be with those on whom Allah has bestowed His Favor - the Prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous. And excellent are those as companions. 70. That is the Bounty of Allah, and Allah is sufficient as AllKnower. 71. O you who believe! Take your precautions and advance in groups or advance all together. 72. And indeed, there is among you he who lags behind, and if disaster befalls you, he says “Verily, Allah has favored me in that I was not present with them.” 73. And if bounty comes to you from Allah, he would surely say, as if there had not been any affection between you and him, “Oh! I wish I had been with them then I would have attained a great success.” 74. So let those fight in

122 and put your trust in Allah. And Allah is sufficient as a Trustee. 82. Then do they not ponder on the Quran? If it had been from other than Allah, surely they would have found much contradiction in it. 83. And when there comes to them a matter of security or fear, they spread it. But if they had referred it to the Messenger and to those having authority among them, surely those who can draw correct conclusion from it would have known about it. And if not for the Bounty of Allah upon you and His Mercy, surely you would have followed Shaitaan except for a few. 84. So fight in the way of Allah; you are not responsible except for yourself. And encourage the believers that perhaps Allah will restrain the might of those who disbelieve. And Allah is Greater in Might and Stronger in punishment. 85. Whoever intercedes for a good cause will have for himself a share of it; and whoever intercedes for an evil cause will have a portion of it. And Allah is on everything a Keeper.

And Allah said, “Indeed, I am with you if you establish prayer and give zakah and you believe in My Messengers and assist them and loan Allah a goodly loan, surely I will remove from you your evil deeds and will admit you to gardens beneath which rivers flows.

From that time, We ordained on the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul other than for a life or for spreading corruption in the earth, then it is as if he has killed the whole mankind, and whoever saves it then it is as if he has saved the whole mankind. And surely Our Messengers came to them with clear Signs, yet even after that many of them committed excesses in the earth.

Those whom Allah has cursed and He became angry with them, and He made some of them apes and swines and those who worshipped the false deities. Those are worse in position and farthest astray from the even (i.e., right) way.” 61. And when they come to you, they say, “We believe.” But certainly they entered with disbelief and they certainly went out with it. And Allah knows best what they were hiding. 62. And you see many of them hastening into sin and transgression and devouring (what is) forbidden. Surely, evil is what they were doing. 63. Why do the rabbis and the religious scholars not forbid them from saying what is sinful and devouring what is forbidden? Surely, evil is what they used to do. 64. And the Jews said, “The Hand of Allah is chained.” Their hands are chained and they have been cursed for what they say. Nay,

And the chiefs of the people of Firaun said, “Will you leave Musa and his people to cause corruption in the land and forsake you and your gods?” He said, “We will kill their sons and we will let live their women, and indeed, we are subjugators over them.” 128. Musa said to his people, “Seek help from Allah and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah. He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants. And the end is (best) for those who are righteous.”

132. And they said, “Whatever sign you bring to bewitch us therewith, we will not believe in you.”

And when they were regretful and they saw that they had indeed gone astray, they said, “If our Lord does not have Mercy on us and forgive us, we will surely be among the losers.” 150. And when Musa returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said, “Evil is what you have done in my place after (I left you). Were you impatient over the matter of your Lord?” And he cast down the tablets and seized his brother by his head dragging him towards himself. He (Harun) said, “O son of my mother! Indeed, the people considered me weak and were about to kill me. So let not the enemies rejoice over me and do not place me among the wrongdoing people.” 151. He (Musa) said, “O my Lord! Forgive me and my brother and admit us into Your Mercy, for You are the Most Merciful of the merciful.” 152. Indeed, those who took the calf (for worship) will reach them the wrath from their Lord and humiliation in the life of this world. And thus We recompense the inventors (of falsehood). 153.

155. And Musa chose from his people seventy men for Our appointment. Then when the earthquake seized them, he said, “O my Lord! If You had willed, You could have destroyed them before and me (as well). Would You destroy us for what the foolish among us have done? This is not but Your trial by which You let go astray whom You will and guide whom You will. You are our Protector, so forgive us and have mercy upon us, and You are the Best of Forgivers.

Verily, Allah turned in mercy to the Prophet, the emigrants, and the helpers who followed him in the hour of difficulty after the hearts of a party of them had nearly deviated (from the right path), then He turned to them in mercy. Indeed, He is Most Kind and Most Merciful to them. 118. And (He also turned in mercy) to the three of those who were left behind when the earth, in spite of its vastness, was straitened for them, and their own souls were straitened for them till they were certain that there is no refuge from Allah except in Him. Then He turned to them in mercy so that they may repent. Indeed, Allah is the Acceptor of repentance, the Most Merciful. 119. O you who believe! Fear Allah and be with those who are truthful.

28. And the Day We will gather them all together, then We will say to those who associated partners with Allah, “(Remain in) your place, you and your partners.” Then We will separate them, and their partners will say, “It was not us that you used to worship.”

29. So Allah is sufficient as a witness between you and us that we were unaware of your worship.

30. There (on that Day), every soul will be put to trial for what it did previously, and they will be returned to Allah, their true Lord, and will be lost from them whatever they used to invent.

disposes the affairs?” Then they will say “Allah.” Then say “Then will you not fear Him?” 32. For that is Allah, your true Lord. So what can be beyond truth except error? So how are you turned away. 33. Thus the Word of your Lord is proved true upon those who defiantly disobeyed, that they will not believe. 34. Say, “Is there of your partners any who originates the creation and then repeats it?” Say, “Allah originates the creation and then repeats it. So how are you deluded?” 35. Say, “Is there of your partners any who guides to the truth?” Say, “Allah guides to the truth. Is then he who guides to the truth more worthy to be followed or he who guides not, unless he is guided? Then what is (wrong) with you, how do you judge?” 36. And most of them follow nothing except assumption. Indeed, assumption does not avail anything against the truth. Indeed,Allah is All-Knower of what they do.

And if every soul that wronged had everything on earth, it would seek to ransom itself with it. And they will confide regret when they see the punishment. But they will be judged in justice, and they will not be wronged. 55. No doubt! Indeed, to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. No doubt! Indeed, the Promise of Allah is true.

So when came to them the truth from Us, they said, “Indeed this is a clear magic.” 77. Musa said,“Do you say (this) about the truth when it has come to you? Is this magic? But magicians will not succeed.” 78. They said, “Have you come to us to turn us away from that upon which we found our forefathers so that you two may have greatness in the land? And we are not believers in you.” 79. And Firaun said, “Bring to me every learned magician.” 80. So when the magicians came, Musa said to them, “Throw whatever you wish to throw.” 81.

23. Indeed, those who believe and do good deeds and humble themselves before their Lord, those are the companions of Paradise, they will abide in it forever. 24. The example of the two parties is like the blind and the deaf and the seer and the hearer. Are they equal in comparison? Then, will you not take heed? 25. And verily, We sent Nuh to his people (saying), “Indeed, I am a clear warner to you. 26. That do not worship except Allah. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a painful Day.” 27. So the chiefs of those who disbelieved from his people said, “We do not see you but as a man like us, and we do not see you followed except by those who are the lowest of us, immature in opinion. And we do not see any merit in you over us; nay, we think you are liars.” 28. He said, “O my people! Do you see if I was on the clear proof from my Lord while He has given me mercy from Himself but it has been obscured from you, should we compel you to accept it while you are averse to it? 29. And O my people! I do not ask of you for it any wealth. My reward is from none

Allah knows best what is in their souls. Indeed, I would then be of the wrongdoers.” 32. They said, “O Nuh! Indeed, you disputed with us and have been frequent in dispute with us. So bring us what you threaten us with, if you are truthful.” 33. He said, “Only Allah will bring it on you if He wills, and you cannot escape it. And my advice 34. will not benefit you, although I wish to advise you, if Allah wills to let you go astray.

So do not be distressed by what they have been doing. 37. And construct the ship under Our observation and Our inspiration and do not address Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they are to be drowned.” And he was 38. constructing the ship, and every time the chiefs of his people passed by him, they ridiculed him. He said, “If you ridicule us, then we will ridicule you (just) as you ridicule. And soon you 39. will know on whom a punishment will come that will disgrace him and on whom will descend a lasting punishment.” Till when Our 40. command came and the oven (earth’s lowlands) overflowed, We said, “Load on it (ship) of every kind, a pair, and your family, except those against whom the word has preceded, and (include) whoever has believed.” But only a few believed with him. And he (Nuh) 41. said, “Embark in it, in the name of Allah is its course and its anchorage. Indeed, my Lord

310 is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” And it sailed with 42. them on the waves like mountains, and Nuh called out to his son who was apart (from them), “O my son! Embark with us and do not be with the disbelievers.” He (the son) said, “I 43. will betake myself to some mountain that will save me from the water.” He (Nuh) said, “There is no protector today from Allah’s command, except on whom He has mercy.” And the waves came between them, so he was among the drowned. And it was said, “O 44. earth! Swallow your water, and O sky! Withhold.” And the water subsided, and the Command was fulfilled. And it (the ship) rested on (Mount) Judi. And it was said, “Away with the wrongdoing people.” 45. And Nuh called to his Lord and said, “O my Lord! Indeed, my son is of my family, and indeed, Your promise is true, and You are the Most Just of the judges.” 46. He said, “O Nuh! Indeed, he is not of your family; indeed, his deed is not righteous, so do not ask Me about what you have no knowledge.

He will send upon you abundant rain from the sky, and add strength to your strength. And do not turn away as criminals.” They said, “O Hud! 53. You have not brought us

312 clear proofs, and we will not leave our gods on your (mere) saying, and we are not believers in you. 54. We say nothing, but that, some of our gods have seized you with evil.” He said, “Indeed, I call Allah to witness, and you bear witness that I am innocent of what you associate, 55. Other than Him. So plot against me all together, then do not give me respite. 56. Indeed, I put my trust in Allah my Lord and your Lord. There is no moving creature but that He has grasp of its forelock. Indeed, my Lord is on a straight path. 57. So if you turn away, then verily I have conveyed that with which I was sent to you. And my Lord will give succession to a people other than you, and you will not harm Him at all. Indeed, my Lord is a Guardian over all things.” 58. And when Our command came, We saved Hud and those who believed with him, by a Mercy from Us and We saved them from a severe punishment. 59. And that was Aad, who rejected the Signs of their Lord and His disobeyed Messengers, and followed the command of every obstinate tyrant.

The Mercy of Allah and His blessings be upon you, people of the house. Indeed, He is All-Praiseworthy, All-Glorious.” 74. When the fright had left Ibrahim and the glad tidings had reached him, he began to argue with Us concerning the people of Lut. 75. Indeed, Ibrahim was certainly forbearing, imploring and oft-returning (to Allah). 76. O Ibrahim! Turn away from this (argument). Indeed, the Command of your Lord has come and indeed, there will come for them a punishment which cannot be repelled. 77. And when Our messengers came to Lut, he was distressed for them, and felt straitened for them and said, “This is a distressful day.” 78. And his people came rushing to him, and before this they had been doing the evil deeds. He said, “O my people! Here are my daughters, they are purer for you. So fear Allah and do not

Indeed, we are messengers of your Lord, (therefore) they will never reach you. So travel with your family during a part of the night and let not any among you look back, except your wife. Indeed, that which will strike them will strike her as well. Indeed, their appointed time is morning. Is not the morning near?” So when Our 82.

He (Firaun) will precede his people on the Day of Resurrection and will lead them into the Fire. And wretched is the place to which they are led. 99. And they were followed by a curse in this (life) and on the Day of Resurrection. Wretched is the gift which will be given. 100. That is from the news of the cities, which We relate to you; of them, some are standing and some have been mown. 101. And We did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves. So their gods whom they invoked other than Allah did not avail them at all when the command of your Lord came. And they did not increase them in other than ruin. 102. And thus is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes the cities while they are committing wrong. Indeed, His seizure is painful and severe. 103. Indeed, in that is a Sign for those who fear the punishment of the Hereafter. That is a Day on which mankind will be gathered,

Kill Yusuf or cast him to (another) land so that your father’s face (i.e., attention) may be free for you, and after that you will be a righteous people.”

10. Said a speaker among them, “Do not kill Yusuf but, if you are doing (something), throw him into the bottom of the well and he will be picked up by some caravan.” 11. They said, “O our father! Why do you not trust us with Yusuf while indeed, we are his wellwishers? 12. Send him with us tomorrow to enjoy and play. And indeed, we will be his guardians.” 13. He (Yaqub) said, “Indeed, it saddens me that you should take him, and I fear that a wolf would eat him while you are unaware of him.” 14. They said, “If a wolf should eat him while we are a (strong) group, then indeed, we would be losers.”

And the king said, “Indeed, I have seen (in a dream) seven fat cows being eaten by seven (that were) lean, and seven green ears (of corn) and others (that were) dry. O chiefs! Explain to me my vision, if you can interpret visions.” 44. They said, “Confused dreams, and we are not learned in the interpretation of dreams.” 45. But the one who was freed, remembered after a period, said, “I will inform you of its interpretation, so send me forth. 46. Yusuf, O truthful one! Explain to us about the seven fat cows being eaten by seven lean ones, and seven green ears (of corn) and others (that were) dry, that I may return to the people so that they may know.” 47.

And he (Yusuf ) said to his servants, “ Put their merchandise in their saddlebags so that they may recognize it when they go back to their people so that they may return. ” 63. So when they returned to their father, they said,“O our father! Measure has been denied to us, so send with us our brother that we will be given measure. And indeed, we will certainly be his guardians.” 64. He said, “Should I entrust you with him except as I entrusted you with his brother before? But Allah is the best Guardian and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy.” 65. And when they opened their baggage, they found their merchandise returned to them. They said, “O our father! What (more) could we desire? This is our merchandise returned to us. And we will get provision for our family and protect our brother and get an increase in measure of a camel’s load. That is an easy measurement.” 66. He said, “Never will I send him with you

334 until you give me a promise by Allah that you will bring him (back) to me, unless that you are surrounded (by enemies). ” And when they had given him their promise, he said, “Allah is a Guardian over what we say.” 67. And he said, “O my sons! Do not enter from one gate but enter from different gates. And I cannot avail you against (the decree of) Allah at all. The decision is only with Allah; upon Him I put my trust and let those who trust put their trust upon Him.” 68. And when they entered from where their father had ordered them, it did not avail them against Allah at all but it was a need of Yaqub’s soul, which he discharged. And indeed, he was a possessor of knowledge because We had taught him, but most of the people do not know. 69. And when they entered upon Yusuf, he took his brother to himself and said, “Indeed, I am your brother , so do not grieve for what they used to do.” 70.

of his brother. Then an announcer called out, “O you in the caravan! Indeed, you are thieves.” 71. They said turning towards them, “What is it that you are missing?” 72. They said, “We are missing the cup of the king. And for the one who brings it, is a (reward of) a camel’s load, and I am responsible for it.” 73. They said, “By Allah, certainly you know that we did not come to cause corruption in the land, and we are not thieves.” 74. They said, “Then what will be the recompense for it if you are liars.” 75. They (the brothers) said, “Its recompense is that he in whose bag it is found, he (himself) will be its recompense. Thus do we recompense the wrongdoers.” 76. So he began (to search) with their bags before the bag of his brother; then he brought it out from the bag of his brother. Thus did We plan for Yusuf. He could not have taken his brother by the law of the king except that Allah willed. We raise in degrees whom We will, but over every possessor of knowledge is the All-Knower. 77. They said, “If he steals - then verily a brother of his stole before.”

336 But Yusuf kept it within himself and did not reveal it to them. He said, “You are in worse position, and Allah knows best what you describe.” 78. They said, “O ruler of the land! Indeed, he has a very old father, so take anyone of us in his place. Indeed, we see you of the good-doers.” 79. He said, “Allah forbid that we take except the one with whom we found our possession. Indeed, we would then be wrongdoers.” 80. So when they had despaired of him, they secluded themselves in private consultation. The eldest among them said, “Do you not know that your father has taken from you a promise by Allah and before that you failed concerning Yusuf? So I will never leave this land until my father permits me or Allah decides for me, and He is the Best of the judges. 81. Return to your father and say, ‘O our father!

O my sons! Go and inquire about Yusuf and his brother and do not despair the Mercy of Allah. Indeed, none despair the Mercy of Allah except the people who disbelieve.” 88. So when they entered upon him (i.e., Yusuf), they said, “O Aziz! Adversity has touched us and our family, and we have come

338 with goods of little value, but pay us full measure and be charitable to us. Indeed, Allah rewards the charitable.” 89. He said, “Do you know what you did with Yusuf and his brother when you were ignorant?” 90. They said, “Are you indeed Yusuf?” He said, “I am Yusuf, and this is my brother. Indeed, Allah has been gracious to us. Indeed, he who fears Allah and is patient, then indeed, Allah does not let go waste the reward of the good-doers.”

Then when they entered upon Yusuf, he took his parents to himself (i.e., embraced them) and said, ‘Enter Egypt Allah willing, safe (and secure).” 100. And he raised his parents upon the throne, and they fell down before him prostrate. And he said, “O my father! This is the interpretation of my dream of before. Verily, my Lord has made it true.

Or is darkness equal to light? Or do they attribute to Allah partners who created the like of His creation so that the creation (which they made and His creation) seemed similar to them?” Say, “Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Irresistible.” 17. He sends down rain from the sky and the valleys flow according to their measure, and the torrent carries a rising foam. And from that (ore) which they heat in the fire, in order to make ornaments or utensils, is a foam like it. Thus Allah sets forth the truth and the falsehood. Then as for the foam it passes away as scum, but that which benefits the mankind remains on the earth. Thus Allah sets forth the examples. 18.

And those who break the Covenant of Allah after contracting it and sever what Allah has commanded to be joined and spread corruption in the earth for them is the curse, and for them is an evil home. 26. Allah extends the provision for whom He wills and restricts (it for whom He wills). And they rejoice in the worldly life, while the worldly life is not, compared to the Hereafter, except a (brief) enjoyment. 27. And those who disbelieved say, “Why has a Sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?” Say, “Indeed, Allah lets go astray whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back (to Him), 28. Those who believe and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah. No doubt, in the remembrance of Allah the hearts find satisfaction.” 29. Those who believe and do good deeds, for them is blessedness and a beautiful place of (final) return. 30. Thus We have sent you to a nation before which

348 (other) nations have passed away so that you might recite to them that which We revealed to you, while they disbelieve in the Most Gracious. Say, “He is my Lord, there is no god except Him. In Him I put my trust, and to Him is my return.” 31. And if there was any Quran by which mountains could be moved or the earth could be cloven asunder or the dead could be made to speak (it would be this Quran). Nay, with Allah is all the command. Then do not those who believe know that if Allah had willed, surely He would have guided the entire mankind? And those who disbelieve do not cease to be struck, for what they have done, by calamity - or it will settle close to their homes - until comes the Promise of Allah. Indeed, Allah will not fail in His Promise. 32. And certainly, the Messengers before you were mocked, but I granted respite to those who disbelieved; then I seized them, and how (terrible) was My penalty. 33. Is then He Who is a maintainer of every soul (knowing) what it has earned (like any other)? Yet they ascribe partners to Allah. Say, “Name them. Or do you inform Him of that which He does not know

This is the end of those who are righteous, and the end of the disbelievers is the Fire. 36.

Indeed, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer. And We gave Musa the Book and made it a guidance for the Children of Israel, saying, “Do not take other than Me as Disposer of affairs.” (They were) offsprings of those whom We carried (in the ship) with Nuh. Indeed, he was a grateful servant.

4. And We decreed for the Children of Israel in the Book, “You will surely cause corruption on the earth twice, and you will surely reach great haughtiness.” 5. So when the (time of) promise came for the first of them, We sent against you servant of Ours - those of great military might, and they entered the inner most part of the homes, and it was a promise fulfilled. 6.

Or do you feel secure that He will not send you back into it (i.e., the sea) another time and send

The Day We will call all human beings with their record, then whoever is given his record in his right hand, then those will read their records, and they will not be wronged (even as much as) a hair on a date seed. 72. And whoever is blind in this (world), then he will be blind in the Hereafter and more astray from the path.

Indeed, the falsehood is bound to perish.” 82. And We revealed of the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy for the believers, but it does not increase the wrongdoers except in loss. 83.

But the wrongdoers refuse (everything) except disbelief. 100. Say, “If you possessed the treasures of the Mercy of my Lord, then you would surely withhold out of fear of spending.” And man is (ever) stingy. 101. And We had certainly given Musa nine clear Signs, so ask the Children of Israel when he came to them and Firaun said to him, “O Musa! Indeed, I think you are bewitched.” 102. He (Musa) said, “Verily, you know none has sent down these but the Lord of the heavens and the earth as evidence, and indeed, O Firaun! I think you are destroyed.” 103. So he intended to drive them out from the land, but We drowned him and all those who were with him. 104..

Then We awakened them that We make evident which of the two parties was best at calculating the time they had remained. 13. We narrate to you their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance. 14. And We made firm their hearts when they stood up and said,“Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. We will never invoke besides Him any god. Certainly, (if we did) we would have then uttered an enormity. 15. These, our people, have taken gods besides Him. Why do they not come to them with a clear authority? And who is more wrong than the one who invents a lie against Allah? 16. And when you withdraw from them and that which they worship besides Allah, then retreat to the cave. Your Lord will spread for you of His Mercy and will facilitate for you your affair in ease.”

We have explained in this Quran every example for mankind. But man is in most things quarrelsome. And nothing 55. prevents men from believing when guidance has come to them and from asking forgiveness of their Lord except that comes to them the way of the former people or comes to them the punishment before them? And We did not 56. send the Messengers except as bearers of glad tidings and as warners. And those who disbelieve dispute with falsehood, to (attempt to) refute the truth thereby. And they take My Verse s and that of which they are warned in ridicule. 57. And who is more wrong than he who is reminded of the Verses of his Lord but turns away from them and forgets what his hands have sent forth? Indeed, have We placed coverings over their hearts, lest they understand it, and in their ears is deafness. And if you call them to guidance, then never they will be guided. 58. And your Lord is the Most Forgiving, Full of Mercy. If He were to seize them for what they have earned, would have He hastened for them the punishment. But for them is an appointed time from which they will never find an escape.

And when Musa said to his boy (servant) , “I will not cease until I reach the junction of the two seas or continue for a long period.” 61. But when they reached the junction between them, they forgot their fish, and it took its course into the sea, slipping away. 62. Then when they had passed beyond it, he (Musa) said to his boy (servant) , “Bring us our morning meal. Certainly , we have suffered fatigue in this journey.” 63. He said, “Did you see when we retired to the rock? Indeed, I forgot the fish. And none made me forget it except the Shaitaan that I should mention it. And it took its course into the sea amazingly.” 64. He (Musa) said, “That is what we were seeking.” So they returned, retracing their footsteps. 65. Then they found a servant from among Our servants to whom We had given mercy from Us, and We had taught him knowledge from Us. 66.

He (Musa) said, “If Allah wills, you will find me patient, and I will not disobey your order.” 70. He said, “Then if you follow me, do not ask me about anything until I mention to you about it.” 71. So they both set out until when they had embarked on the ship, he made a hole in it. He (Musa) said, “Have you made a hole in it to drown its people? Certainly , you have done a grave thing.” 72. He said, “Did I not say that you will never be able to have patience with me?” 73. He (Musa) said, “Do not blame me for what I forgot and do not be hard upon me in my affair raising difficulties.” 74. Then they both set out until they met a boy, then he killed him. He (Musa) said, “Have you killed a pure soul for other than (having killed) a soul? Certainly, you have done an evil thing.”

418 He said, “Did I not 75. tell you that you would never be able to have patience with me?” 76. He (Musa) said, “If I ask you about anything after this, then do not keep me as a companion. Verily, you have received an excuse from me.” 77. So they set out, until when they came to the people of a town, they asked its people for food, but they refused to offer them hospitality. Then they found therein a wall about to collapse, so he set it straight. He (Musa) said, “If you wished, surely you could have taken a payment for it.” 78. He said, “This is parting between me and you. I will inform you of the interpretation of that about which you were unable to have patience. 79.

But indeed, I Am the Perpetual Forgiver of whoever repents and believes and does righteous deeds then remains guided. (Allah said), “And 83. what made you hasten from your people, O Musa?” 84. He said, “They are close upon my tracks, and I hastened to you my Lord, that You be pleased.” 85. He said, “But indeed, We have tried your people after you (departed), and the Samiri has led them astray.” 86. Then Musa returned to his people, angry and sorrowful. He said,

442 “O my people! Did your Lord not promise you a good promise? Then, did the promise seem long to you, or did you desire that the Anger of your Lord descend upon you, so you broke your promise to me?” 87. They said, “We did not break our promise to you by our own will, but we were made to carry burdens from the ornaments of the people, so we threw them, and thus threw the Samiri. ” 88. Then he brought forth for them (the statue of) a calf which had a lowing sound, and they said, “This is your god and the god of Musa, but he has forgotten.” 89. Then, did they not see that it could not return to them a word (i.e., respond to them) and that it did not possess for them any harm or benefit? 90. And verily Harun had said to them before, “O my people! You are only being tested by it, and indeed, your Lord is the Most Gracious, so follow me and obey my order. ” 91. They said, “Never we will cease being devoted to it (i.e., the calf) until Musa returns to us.” 92. He (Musa) said, “O Harun! What prevented you, when you saw them going astray, 93.

(Allah said) “O Musa! Do not fear. Indeed, the Messengers do not fear in My presence. 11. Except he who wrongs then substitutes good after evil, then indeed, I Am Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 12. And put your hand into the opening of your bosom, it will come forth white without harm. (These are) among the nine signs to Firaun and his people. Indeed, they are a defiantly disobedient people.” 13. But when Our visible Signs came to them, they said, “This is a manifest magic.” 14. And they rejected them (i.e., the signs), though they themselves were convinced with them, out of injustice and haughtiness. So see how was the end of the corrupters. 15. And verily, We gave Dawood and Sulaiman knowledge, and they said, “Praise be to Allah the One Who favored us over many of

And gathered for Sulaiman his hosts of jinn and men and birds, and they were set in rows. 18. Until, when they came to the valley of the ants, an ant said, “O ants! Enter your dwellings so that Sulaiman and his hosts may not crush you while they do not perceive.” 19. So he smiled, laughing at her speech, and said, “My Lord! Grant me the power and ability that I may thank You for Your Favor, which You have bestowed on me and on my parents and that I may do righteous deeds that will please You. And admit me by into Your Mercy (the ranks of ) Your righteous slaves.” 20. And he inspected the birds and said, “Why do I not see the hoopoe, or is he among the absent? 21.

But what Allah has given me is better than that which He has given you. Nay, you rejoice in your gift. 37. Return to them, we will surely come to them with hosts that they cannot resist, and we will surely expel them from there in humiliation, and they will be abased.” He (Sulaiman) 38. said, “O chiefs!

Said one who had knowledge of the Scripture, “I will bring it to you before your glance returns to you.” Then when he (Sulaiman) saw it placed before him, he said, “This is from the Favor of my Lord to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful.And whoever is grateful, then he is grateful only for his own soul. And whoever is ungrateful, then indeed, my Lord is Selfsufficient, Noble.” 41. He said, “Disguise her throne for her that we may see whether she will be guided or will be of those who are not guided.” 42. So when she came, it was said, “Is your throne like this?” She said, “It is (just) like it.” (Sulaiman said), “And we were given the knowledge before her, and we have been Muslims.” 43. And that which she used to worship besides Allah had averted her (from submission to Allah). Indeed, she was from a disbelieving people. It was said to her, 44. “Enter the palace.” Then when she saw it, she thought it was a pool, and she uncovered her shins. He said, “Indeed, it is a palace made smooth, of glass.” She said, “My Lord, indeed, I have wronged myself, and I submit with Sulaiman to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.”

13. So We restored him to his mother so that her eyes might be comforted and that she might not grieve and that she would know that the Promise of Allah is true. But most of them do not know. 14. And when he attained his full strength and became mature, We bestowed upon him wisdom and knowledge. And thus We reward the gooddoers. 15. And he entered the city at a time of inattention by its people and found two men fighting each other therein; one of his party and the other of his enemy. And the one who was from his party called to him for help against the one who was from his enemy, so Musa struck him with his fist and (unintentionally) killed him. He (Musa) said, “This is of the work of Shaitaan. Indeed, he is an enemy who clearly misleads.” 16. He said, “My Lord! Indeed, I have wronged my soul, so forgive me.” Then He forgave him. Indeed, He is the Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful. 17. He said, “My Lord! Because You have favored me, I will never be a supporter of the criminals.” 18. In the morning when he was (walking) in the city fearful and vigilant, behold! The one who sought his help the previous day

542 cried out to him for help. Musa said to him, “Indeed, you are a clear deviator.” 19. Then when he wanted to strike the one who was an enemy to both of them, he said, “O Musa! Do you intend to kill me as you killed a man yesterday? You only want to be a tyrant in the land, and do not wish to be of the reformers.” 20. And a man came running from the farthest end of the city. He said, “O Musa! Indeed, the chiefs are taking counsel about you to kill you, so leave (the city); indeed I am a sincere advisor to you.” 21. So he left from there, fearing and vigilant. He said, “My Lord! Save me from the wrongdoing people.” 22. And when he headed towards Madyan, he said, “Perhaps my Lord will guide me to the sound (right) way.” 23. And when he came to the watering place of Madyan, he found there a group of men watering (their flocks), and he found besides them two women keeping back (their flocks). He said, “What is the matter with you?” They said, “We cannot water until the shepherds take away (their flocks); and our father is a very old man.” 24. So he watered (their flocks) for them. Then he went back to the shade and said,

You have escaped from the wrongdoing people.” 26. One of them said, “O my father! Hire him. Indeed, the best that you can hire is a man who is strong and trustworthy.” 27. He said, “Indeed, I wish to marry you to one of my two daughters on (the condition) that you serve me for eight years; but if you complete ten, then (it will be a favor) from you. And I do not wish to make it difficult for you. You will find me, if Allah wills, of the righteous.” 28. He (Musa) said, “That is (settled) between me and you.

Indeed, you are of the secure. 32. Insert your hand into your bosom, it will come forth white without any harm. And draw your hand to yourself (to guard) against fear. These are two evidences from your Lord to Firaun and his chiefs. Indeed, they are a defiantly disobedient people.” 33. He said, “My Lord! Indeed, I have killed a man from among them, and I fear that they will kill me. 34. And my brother Harun is more eloquent in speech than me, so send him with me as a helper, confirming me. Indeed, I fear that they will deny me.” 35. He said, “We will strengthen your arm through your brother and give you both

But when Musa came to them with Our clear Signs, they said, “This is nothing but invented magic, and we have not heard of this (religion) among our forefathers.” 37. And Musa said, “My Lord knows best who has come with guidance from Him and for whom will be the good end in the Hereafter. Indeed, the wrongdoers will not be successful.” 38. And Firaun said, “O chiefs! I do not know of any god for you other than me. So kindle a fire upon the clay for me, O Haman! And make for me a lofty tower so that I may look at the God of Musa. And indeed, I think he is of the liars.” 39. And he and his hosts were arrogant in the land without right, and they thought that they would not be returned to Us. 40. So We seized him and his hosts, and We threw them into the sea. So see how was the end of the wrongdoers. 41. And We made them leaders inviting to the Fire, and on the Day of Resurrection they will not be helped. 42. And We caused a curse to follow them

546 in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be of the despised. 43. And verily, We gave Musa the Scripture, after We had destroyed the former generations as an enlightenment for mankind and a guidance and mercy that they may remember. 44. And you were not on the western side (of the We Mount) when decreed to Musa the Commandment, and you were not among the witnesses. 45. But We produced generations and prolonged their life for them. And you were not a dweller among the people of Madyan, reciting to them Our Verses, but We were the Senders (of the Message). 46. And you were not at the side of the Tur when We called. But (you are sent) as a mercy from your Lord to warn a people to whom no warner had come before you so that they may remember. 47. And if (We had) not (sent you [O Prophet SAWS]) and (in case) a disaster would have struck them for what their hands have sent forth, they would have said, “Our Lord! Why did You not send to us a Messenger so we could have followed Your Verses and would have been of the believers?” 48. But when the truth came to them from Us they said,

75. And We will draw forth from every nation a witness and say, “Bring your proof?” Then they will know that the truth belongs to Allah, and will be lost from them what they used to invent. 76. Indeed, Qarun was from the people of Musa, but he oppressed them. And We gave him treasures whose keys would burden a company of men who possessed great strength. When his people said to him, “Do not exult. Indeed, Allah does not love the exultant. 77. But seek, through that which Allah has given you, the home of the Hereafter, and do not forget your share of the world. And do good as Allah has been good to you. And do not seek corruption in the earth. Indeed, Allah does not love the corrupters.” 78. He said, “I have been given it only because of the knowledge I have.” Did he not know that Allah had destroyed before him generations who were stronger than him in strength and greater in accumulation (of wealth). And the criminals will not be questioned about their sins. 79. So he went forth to his people in his adornment. Those who

552 desired the life of this world said, “O! Would that we had the like of what has been given to Qarun. Indeed, he is the owner of great fortune.” 80. But those who were given the knowledge said, “Woe to you! The reward of Allah is better for he who believes and does righteous deeds. And none are granted it except those who are patient.” 81. Then We caused the earth to swallow up, him and his home. Then he had no group to help him besides Allah, nor was he of those who (could) defend themselves. 82. And those who had wished for his position the previous day began to say, “Ah! (Know) that Allah extends the provision for whom He wills of His slaves and restricts it. If Allah had not favored us He would have caused it to swallow us. Ah! (Know) that the disbelievers will not succeed.” 83. That Home of the Hereafter We assign to those who do not desire to exalt themselves in the earth nor they desire to spread corruption. And the good end is for the righteous. 84. Whoever comes with a good deed will have better than it; and whoever comes with an evil deed, then those who did evil deeds will not

That is more suitable that they may be comforted and not grieve and that they may be pleased with what you have given them - all of them. And Allah knows what is in your hearts.

It is not lawful for you to marry women after this, nor to exchange them for (other) wives, even if their beauty pleases you, except those whom you rightfully possess.

Tell to your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw over themselves their outer garments. That is more suitable that they should be known and not harmed. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 60. If the hypocrites and those in whose heart is a disease and those who spread rumors in the city do not cease, We will let you overpower them, then they will not remain your neighbors therein except for a little, 61. Accursed, wherever they are found, they are seized and massacred completely. 62. (Such is) the Way of Allah with those who passed away before and you will never find any change in the Way of Allah. 63. People ask you about the Hour. Say, “The knowledge of it is only with Allah. And what will make you know? Perhaps the Hour is near.” 64. Indeed, Allah has cursed the disbelievers and has prepared for them a Blaze, 65. Abiding therein forever, they will not find any protector or any helper.

Do not be like those who abused Musa; then Allah cleared him of what they said. And he was honorable in the sight of Allah. 70. O you who believe! Fear Allah and speak a right word. 71. He will amend for you your deeds and forgive your sins. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly attained a great attainment. 72. Indeed, We offered the Trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but they refused to bear it and feared from (bearing) it. But man bore it. Indeed, he was unjust and ignorant. 73.

But those who strive against Our Verses (seeking) to cause failure, for them will be a painful punishment of foul nature. And those who have been given knowledge see that what is revealed to you from your Lord is the Truth, and it guides to the Path of the All-Mighty, the Praiseworthy. But those who disbelieve say, “Shall we direct you to a man who informs you that when you have disintegrated into complete disintegration, you will (then) be (recreated) into a new creation?

8. Has he invented about Allah a lie or is there madness in him?” Nay, those who do not believe in the Hereafter will be in the punishment and (are in) extreme error. 9. Then, do they not see what is before them and what is behind them of the heaven and the earth? If We will, We could cause the earth to swallow them or cause to fall upon them fragments from the sky. Indeed, in that, surely, is a Sign for every slave who turns (to Allah). 10. And We certainly gave Dawood Bounty from Us, (saying), “O mountains! Repeat the praises (of Allah) with him, and the birds (also).” And We made the iron pliable for him,

They made for him what he willed of elevated chambers, statues, bowls like reservoirs, and cookingpots fixed (in their places). (We said), “Work, O family of Dawood!

Then when We decreed death for him (i.e., Sulaiman), nothing indicated to them (i.e., the jinn) his death except a creature of the earth eating his staff. But when he fell down, it became clear to the jinn that if they had known the unseen, they would not have remained in the humiliating punishment. 15.

And if you could see when they will be terrified but there will be no escape, and they will be seized from a near place. 52.

Indeed, Allah is on everything AllPowerful. 2. Whatever Allah grants to mankind of Mercy, none can withhold it; and whatever He withholds, none can release it thereafter. And He is the AllMighty, the All-Wise. 3. O mankind! Remember the Favor of Allah upon you. Is there any creator other than Allah who provides for you from the sky and the earth? There is no god but He. Then, how are you deluded?

6. Indeed, Shaitaan is an enemy to you, so take him as an enemy. He only invites his party to be among the companions of the Blaze. 7. Those who disbelieve will have a severe punishment, and those who believe and do righteous deeds will have forgiveness and a great reward. 8. Then is one to whom the evil of his deed has been made fair-seeming so that he considers it good (equal to one who is rightly guided)? For indeed, Allah lets go astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. So do not let yourself waste over them in regret. Indeed, Allah is All-Knower of what they do. 9. And Allah is the One Who sends the winds so that they raise the clouds, and We drive them to a dead land and revive therewith the earth after its death. Thus will be the Resurrection. 10. Whoever desires honor, then to Allah belongs all Honor. To Him ascends the good words and righteous deed raises it. But those who plot evil will have a severe punishment, and the plotting of those - it will perish.

And the birds 19. assembled, all joined him in repeatedly (praising Allah). 20. And We strengthened his kingdom and We gave him wisdom and decisive speech. 21. And has there come to you the news of the litigants, when they climbed over the wall of the chamber? 22. When they entered upon Dawood and he was afraid of them, they said, “Do not fear. We are two litigants, and one of us has wronged the other, so judge between us in truth and do not be unjust and guide us to an even path. 23. Indeed, this is my brother, he has ninetynine ewes while I have one ewe; so he said, ‘Entrust her to me,’ and he overpowered me in speech.” 24. He (Dawood) said, “Certainly, he has wronged you by demanding your ewe (in addition) to his ewes. And indeed, many partners oppress one another, except those who believe and do righteous deeds and they are few.” And Dawood become centain that We had tried him,

636 and he asked forgiveness of his Lord and fell down bowing (in prostration) and turned (to Allah) in repentance. 25. So We forgave him for that. And indeed, he had a near access to Us and a good place of return. 26. “O Dawood! Indeed, We have made you vicegerent on earth, so judge between men in truth and do not follow (your) desire for it will lead you astray from the way of Allah. Indeed, those who go astray from the way of Allah, they will have a severe punishment because they forgot the Day of Account.” 27. And We have not created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them without purpose. That is the assumption of those who disbelieve. So woe to those who disbelieve, from the Fire. 28. Or should We treat those who believe and do righteous deeds like those who spread corruption on the earth? Or should We treat the pious like the wicked? 29. (This is) a blessed Book which, We have revealed to you, that they may ponder over its Verses and those of understanding may be reminded. 30. And to Dawood We gave Sulaiman, an excellent slave. Indeed, he repeatedly turned (to Allah) in repentance.

The skins of those who fear their Lord shiver from it, then their skins and their hearts relax at the remembrance of Allah. That is the guidance of Allah, He guides with it whom He wills. And whoever Allah lets go astray, then there is no guide for him.

And He placed therein firmly set mountains above its He (surface), and blessed it and determined therein its sustenance in four equal periods, for those who ask. 11. Then He directed Himself towards the heaven while it was smoke and said to it and to the earth, “Come (into existence) both of you willingly or unwillingly.” They both said, “We come willingly.” 12.

When the Messengers came to them from before them and behind them (saying), “Worship none but Allah.” They said, “If our Lord had willed, surely He would have sent down Angels. So indeed, we disbelieve in that with which you have been sent.” 15. As for Aad, they were arrogant in the land without right and said, “Who is mightier than us in strength?” Did they not consider that Allah Who created them is mightier than them in strength? But they used to deny Our Signs. 16. So We sent upon them a furious wind during the days of misfortune to make them taste the punishment of disgrace in the life of this world. And surely, the punishment of the Hereafter is more disgracing, and they will not be helped.

He has ordained for you that religion which He enjoined upon Nuh, and that which We have revealed to you, and what We enjoined upon Ibrahim and Musa and Isa - to establish the religion and not to be divided therein. Difficult for the polytheists is that to which you call them. Allah chooses for Himself whom He wills, and guides to Himself whoever turns (to Him).

And they did not 14. become divided until after knowledge came to them (out of) rivalry between themselves. And had it not been for a word that preceded from your Lord for a specified term, surely it would have been settled between them. And indeed, those who were made to inherit the Book after them are in disquieting doubt concerning it.

15. So to that (religion) invite and stand firm (on the right course) as you are commanded and do not follow their desires, but say, “I believe

678 in what Allah has sent down of the Book, and I am commanded to do justice between you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord. For us are our deeds and for you your deeds. There is no argument between you and us. Allah will bring us together and to Him is the final return.”

16. And those who argue concerning Allah after He has been responded to, their argument is invalid with their Lord, and upon them is wrath and for them is a severe punishment.

17. Allah is the One Who has sent down the Book in truth and the Balance. And what will make you know? Perhaps the Hour is near.

18. Those who do not believe in it seek to hasten it, and those who believe are fearful of it and know that it is the truth. Unquestionably, those who dispute concerning the Hour are certainly in extreme error.

And their similitude in the Injeel is like a seed which sends forth its shoot, then strengthens it, then it becomes thick and it stands upon its stem, delighting the sowers - that He may enrage by them the disbelievers. Allah has promised those who believe and do righteous deeds among them forgiveness and a great reward.

Our Lord, upon You we put our trust, and to You we turn (in repentance), and to You is the final return.

10. O you who believe! When the believing women come to you as emigrants, then examine (and test) them. Allah is most knowing of their faith. And if you know them to be believers, then do not return them to the disbelievers. They are not lawful (wives) for them (the disbelievers), nor are they lawful (husbands) for them. But give them (i.e., the disbelievers) what they have spent. And there is no blame upon you if you marry them when you have given them their (bridal) dues. And do not hold to marriage bonds with disbelieving women, but ask for what you have spent, and let them ask for what they have spent. That is the Judgment of Allah. He judges between you. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

Surah 63: The hypocrites (v. 10-11); Surah 64: The mutual loss and gain (v. 1-4) Part - 28

5. Has there not come to you the news of those who disbelieved before? So they tasted the bad consequence of their affair, and they will have a painful punishment. 6.

That is because their Messengers came to them with clear proofs, but they said, “Shall (mere) human beings guide us?” So they disbelieved and turned away. And Allah can do without them. And Allah is Self-sufficient, Praiseworthy.

7. Those who disbelieve claim that they will never be raised up. Say, “Yes, by my Lord, you will surely be raised, then surely you will be informed of what you did. And that is easy for Allah.” 8.

9.

So believe in Allah and His Messenger and in the Light (i.e., Quran) which We have sent down. And Allah is AllAware of what you do. The Day He will assemble you for the Day of the Assembly, that will be the Day of mutual loss and gain. And whoever believes in Allah and does righteous deeds, He will remove from him his evil deeds and He will admit him to Gardens underneath which rivers flow, therein they will abide forever. That is the great success.

These phrases are said to be composed of

¶ó ¢Ïˆò³ °È [÷ ¦Èƾ¢» ˆò ø³ ª ¥

¨ººŠèÏ (adjective) and »Ï  ÷ (the noun of the

adjective). To translate these into Arabic, just reverse the order of the words (Muslim then true

ö ôÈ÷

The tanveen could be Å or

depending upon the context in which this phrase is used. The rules are similar to those of

Notes: 1. To convey the meanings of "of," we place Dhammah or pesh ( É- ) on the first word and double kasra ( Ç- ) on the second word. 2. As usual, if the second word has

¾È¢

attached with it, then instead of double kasra

( Ç- ), we will have single kasra ( Ê- ) on the second word.

꺒ô» in the sentence ʅ¦ê’ô» is called »¢Ô÷. called þ󤻢Ô÷ , which should always be a proper noun.

þ󤻢Ô÷

automatically implies specific person or

Try to practice the pronouns and past tense by repeating the conjugation table using the following words. This will greatly help you in getting yourself familiarized with the verb forms. Is it not worth repeating it 10 to 15 times so that you can remember it for the rest of your life? It certainly is! Learning and practicing them for the sake of understanding Qur'an is one of the best worship for which you will be abundantly rewarded by Allah, inshaAllah. ************************* Vocabulary for Lesson No. 10a *************************

The tense may change from active to passive or the object may be changed to subject. In some cases, the sentence may not make any sense at all.

Active and Passive Voice: As you have seen earlier, in case of present tense,

òŠ à çŠ

is made passive by writing

Œòà ’è

òŠ à Œç

for verbs in past tense. However,

is made passive by writing it as

Œòà ’è

, i.e., first letter will have

dhammah / pesh ( É- ) and the third letter will have fathah ( È- ). The remaining letters will have the same A'araab as in the case of active voice. Concentrate on the following examples: he drinks they (all, mg) help you (mg) ask

§ É Â Ì

he is made / given to drink§ É Â Ì

Note: It is suggested that you practice on this table after memorizing the meanings of around a Juz' (parah). Try to repeat this table for a couple of verbs. You will have a much wider understanding of different verbs and their meanings which occur in the Qur'an. After this practice, you will be able to remember and connect the derived forms with their root word easily. For each of the verb, you can repeat the table given under the title "Conjugation table for the verb

òŠ ºàçŠ

" and feel for yourself the power of Arabic language. The following page gives an example

of how the table given under the title "Conjugation table for the verb

Appendix B: Arabic Grammar

GRAMMATICAL POINTS RELEVANT TO THIS WORK Please note the following (especially for those who are not acquainted with Arabic grammar): • For possessive case, 'the' is added in the box of

»¢Ô÷

because the construction of the

possessive case in Arabic leads to addition of 'the' there. The word 'of' is added in the

þŠó¤Ê»¢Ô÷ . For example, 'the' is added in the box below § Ë °È 'of' is added in the box below [ øóŠ¢àó¦ .

following box containing

of (all) the worlds.

the Lord

(be) to Allah,

and

(All) the2 praises and thanks

• The verb (masculine or feminine) in Arabic is always singular when it comes before the subject (masculine or feminine). On the contrary, if the verb is placed after the subject, then the verb matches in number (singular, dual or plural) with its subject. The translation of such verbs in the English cells is provided according to the context in which the verb has come. For example, the verb ª  È  ëŠ is singular in the following verse (2:74) and is used to refer to the noun

§ŒôëŒ

. The word §ŒôëŒ is broken plural (ZÈð«Þf).

 like [the] stones5

so they (became)

that

after

 your hearts4

Then hardened

• The Broken Plural ZÈð«Þf (as opposed to Solid Plural C¢ÇÞf) is referred in general by a singular feminine verb or a singular feminine pronoun (such as ¢ÿ). Any plural which does not follow the standard pattern of making plurals is called broken plural. Here again the translation of such verbs or pronouns in the English cells is provided according to the context in which the Broken Plural has come. For example, both the verb in verse (2:74) quoted above refer to the broken plural

ªÈëŠ

Learning to understand the book of Allah is of the utmost importance after having received basic education. We have emphasized the importance of hifz and have consequently seen miracles in terms of young children memorizing the entire Qur'an. However, understanding the Qur'an, which is one of the most important rights of the Qur'an, has not been given due attention. One can find numerous verses asking us to ponder over Allah's Word, not just understand it. InshaAllah, if

D-2

Appendix D: Understand

proper attention is given to the actual understanding of the Qur'an, similar miracles will be evidenced. The methodology of learning presented below enables the reader to understand the meaning and the message of the Qur'an while reciting it in Arabic. In this methodology, the primary focus is on the vocabulary. In principle, if you take out those words which occur repeatedly, the total number of words in the Qur'an may well be around 2000!!! Allah Subhanahu wa ta'aala has revealed His book which contains such a small number of words. This is another miracle of the Qur'an. Three approaches of learning have been outlined below. Any one of these can be used depending on individual circumstances of the student. Approaches B and C have been implemented very successfully in different places. More and more people were attracted because of the simplicity and practicality of these approaches. These approaches need not be strictly adhered to and can be altered according to one's preferences and/or practical experiences. The only prerequisite here is that one should be able to recite the Qur'an.

A. INDIVIDUAL APPROACH For those who want to study the Qur'an by themselves, the following approach is suggested. 1. In the beginning, spend some time on Appendix B. It may be emphasized here that you need not master this appendix to proceed further. 2. Start from the beginning of the Qur'an, i.e., from Surah Al-Fateha. 3. Go page by page or Ruku by Ruku or whatever part of the Qur'an you are comfortable with. Initially you may need more time for understanding a page or Ruku. However, as you progress, you will be able to do better because the number of new words in each part (Juz') decrease drastically. 4. For each part (a) memorize the meanings of new words (it is highly recommended to use "The Easy Dictionary of the Qur'an" / Vocabulary Cards) ; (b) read the boxed translation and try to connect the Arabic verse with its meanings; and (c) check and correct your understanding of the verse with the translation provided on the left column. Once you start understanding the Qur'an, you will feel a huge difference in terms of your attachment with the Qur'an.

B. GROUP APPROACH In this approach, a group of people decides to learn the book of Allah together. In addition to the steps followed in the individual approach, the following will benefit the participants:

D-3

Appendix D: Understand

1. Reminder: The first five minutes of the class could be used for discussing reminders based on the Qur'an and Hadith. It should be remembered that mere learning of the language and acquiring self satisfaction that we have learned the Arabic of the Qur'an would not be sufficient for true guidance, unless it is followed by living the Qur'an by reciting it daily and trying to implement its commandments. 2. Previous Session Review: A review of the previous class may be conducted. This may take another five minutes. This review not only reinforces the students' learning process but also establishes the continuity of the verses to be covered in the current session. 3. The Main Part: • One of the participants recites the first verse or just a part of it. He then reads each word and its meaning. After this, he reads the verse again with the translation of the whole verse (or the part which he had recited). • The next participant continues from where the first left off. The process is continued until all the participants have taken their turns. Consequently, a section or a number of verses are covered in one session. 4. Summary: In the last five minutes of the class, the group conducts a review of what was covered in the present session. 5. Homework -1: The participants are strongly encouraged to carry the vocabulary cards corresponding to the section or verses being studied with them all the time. Everyday, till the next class, they spend just a minute or two to scan over the card(s) and try to memorize the meanings of new words written on the cards. This makes the whole learning process of memorizing the meanings of new words and more importantly, retaining, remembering, and living the message of the Qur'an very efficient and effective. These cards are presently being prepared and will be printed soon and/or published on the Internet InshaAllah. If cards are not available, 'The Easy Dictionary of Qur'an' by Shaikh Abdul Kareem Parekh can be used as an alternative. 6. Homework -2: Each participant is asked to memorize the meanings of the next section (or the verses) to be covered in the next class.

C. TEACHER-AIDED APPROACH 1. TEACHING TOOLS 1.

Two white (or black) boards with erasable color markers. One board is used for writing a verse or part of it along with the meaning of every word right below it while the other board is used for practicing basic Arabic grammar. Posters displaying basic grammar tables (provided in Appendix B).

Appendix D: Understand

2. SYLLABUS ITEMS 1. Word-for-word translation of the Qur'an. 2. The Easy Dictionary of the Qur'an (if available). 3. Vocabulary cards (if available): Each card should contain the words and their meanings of about one page or whatever part you are comfortable with, either a Ruku or its half.

3. SUGGESTED RULES OF TEACHING The teacher should try his best to live the Qur'an by (i) trying to complete the plain recitation of the whole Qur'an within a month, and (ii) following its commandments in his day-to-day life. It is his sincerity, his trust in Allah, and his consistent effort that will enable him to receive Allah's help in performing this task effectively. 1. Reminder: The first five minutes of the class could be used for giving general reminders based on the Qur'an and Hadith. Special attention should be given to daily recitation of the Qur'an. It should be duly emphasized that mere learning of the Qur'an is not enough, unless it is followed by living the Qur'an by reciting it daily and trying to practice it. 2. Simple grammar: Brief and basic grammar could be covered in the next five minutes. In each class, the teacher selects a commonly occurring verb in the Qur'an and repeats the grammar table (see Appendix C) for that verb. In order to make the class interactive, each student is asked to repeat at least two verbal forms. 3. Previous Class Review: After this, a review of the previous class may be conducted. This may take another five minutes. The teacher asks all students to listen to him. He then recites verses that were covered in the last class. He stops at each verse or part of a verse and asks the meanings of important words. This review not only reinforces the students' learning process but also establishes the continuity of the verses to be covered in the current session. 4. The Main Part: The teacher writes the first verse or a part of it on the board. If he is unable to write the full verse, he writes the important words of that verse. • The first student sitting on the teacher's right side recites the first verse or just a part of it. He then reads each word and its meaning. After this, he reads the verse again with the translation of the whole verse (or the part which he had recited). • The teacher repeats the whole verse word by word along with its meaning. This repetition helps the students reinforce the meanings in their mind. He emphasizes the meanings of certain words and shows their link to the various forms on the grammar chart, wherever appropriate. • The teacher may take three to four minutes to explain the meanings of that verse.

D-5

Appendix D: Understand

The next student continues from where the first left off. For each verse, the teacher may write the whole or part of the it on the board. The process is continued until all the students have taken their turns. Consequently, a Ruku or a number of verses are covered in one session. 5. Summary: In the last five minutes of the class, the teacher recites the whole Ruku again. He stops at every new word that is covered in the session. This exercise further enhances the retention of the meanings of the new words. 6. Homework -1: The teacher distributes vocabulary cards, if possible. The students are strongly encouraged to carry these cards with them all the time. Everyday, till the next class, they spend just a minute or two to scan over the card(s) and try to memorize the meanings of new words written on the cards. This makes the whole learning process of memorizing the meanings of new words and more importantly, retaining, remembering, and living with the message of the Qur'an very efficient and effective. These cards are presently being prepared and will be printed soon and/or published on the Internet Insha'Allah. If cards are not available, 'The Easy Dictionary of Qur'an' by Shaikh Abdul Kareem Parekh can be used as an alternative. 7. Homework -2: The student is asked to memorize the meanings of the next Ruku (or the verses) to be covered in the next class.

5. ADDITIONAL TEACHING GUIDELINES 1. Students are shown a number of times a word which has been used repeatedly in the Qur'an. This can be done especially for commonly occurring words. For example, the prepositions ¾Ê ,

ú º ÷ , § Ê ,  ç , Šôß , and Šó¤Ê , have occurred 3656, 3221, 2538, 1692, 1439, and 737 times, respectively! A teacher may look up in the famous Qur'an Index öŽ ð Š ó’¦ÊÀ¡ÂìŒ ó’¦Ê·¢Šè󒘊ó ²Â èŠ ø ó’¦ö´à ø ó’¦ to find for himself the number of times a word and its derivatives have been used in the Qur'an. Two examples of many are: Ⱦ¢Šë and its different forms (around 1700 times); and ÈÀ¢Šï and its different forms (around 1300 times). This information is a great encouragement to students. They return home with a feeling of having learnt the meanings of a number of words in the Qur'an in just one session. 2. The student fixes a black/white board near the dining table or any other prominent place in his home. Everyday, he writes just one line or a part of a verse for his family. Such a practice will benefit him in numerous ways. • He learns much faster and better, as the best way to learn is to teach. • He gets his family members involved effectively in this process, thereby fulfilling a part of the responsibility of being a good ra'ee (caretaker) of the family. • This is a simple learning process for his family too! It is extremely easy for every family member to devote five minutes and discuss that small part of the verse at some suitable time during the day, preferably when all the family members are together. • Further, he prepares himself to become an effective teacher in the future.

3. For a couple of sessions in the beginning, the teacher covers the last ten or fifteen Surahs of the Qur'an and those prayers which are recited in the Salah. This not only helps one understand what one reads everyday but also enhances the student's appreciation of Arabic sentence structure. Furthermore, through these Surahs, he memorizes many words commonly occurring in the Qur'an. This gives him a smooth start for studying the Qur'an in depth. In our daily prayers and azkar, we recite around 200 words and 50 sentences. There are spiritual advantages too. The student develops a stronger relationship with Allah, His Messenger, His Book, and pious brethren. 4. In every class, the students are reminded of the importance of this learning process with the help of the Qur'anic verses and Ahadith. Thus, their interest is retained throughout the course.

I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assembly better than his. And if he draws near to Me a hand's span, I draw near to him an arm's length; and if he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw near to him a fathom's length (the length of two hands stretched apart), and if he comes to Me walking, I rush towards him. [Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi, and Ibn Majah].

6. SECRETS OF SUCCESS OF THIS APPROACH I. Involvement of everybody present in the class/group: Remember the famous saying: Tell me & I forget; Show me & I remember; Involve me & I learn!

D-7

Appendix D: Understand

In this method, every effort is made to involve each student/participant in the class/group. II. Less Brainwork: Researchers contend that the brain does not learn the two-way translation automatically, if it is just taught. Translating words and/or sentences from English to Arabic involves extra cerebral effort. Consequently, in this method, the teacher asks the meanings of the Arabic verses and words and never vice versa. The objective of the course is not to make the students speakers of Arabic language. That stage is eventually reached when they finish the entire Qur'an and gain enough vocabulary. III. Using Almost all the Means of Memorization: 1.

Seeing: Looking at the words and their meanings on the board. The teacher should write the whole verse or at least new words in the verse on the board.

2.

Listening: Hearing the words and their meanings repeated by other participants in the class and by the teacher.

3.

Saying: Saying the words loudly at one's turn as well as when they are being repeated by the whole class.

4.

Remembering it within a context: The teacher provides the context of new word(s) in the class through discussion. For example, while reciting Surah òºè ó’¦È (the elephant), if the student remembers the meaning of just one word, òç , the whole story of Abraha will come to his mind instantly (if he had heard it from a teacher). Further, once the story is there in his mind, it will help him remember the meanings of some of those words in the Surah which he might have forgotten, such as ¨°¢´· Â׊ .

5.

Anchoring:

Relating the new word(s) to other commonly known words. For example, the

teacher can help link the word,¾¦à û with the word ¨®¢¦ß . 6.

Repeating: Referring to the meaning again and again at the dining table or from the index card kept in the pocket. A very famous linguistic expert and writer of the book, "How to learn a foreign language" says that the index card is a very efficient means of memorizing the meanings of new words.

7.

Teaching: The students should make every effort to teach the material to others, however little it might be. Remember the famous saying: The best way to learn a subject is to teach it to others. One can start teaching without any hesitation at least at his home. Alternatively, just two or three friends in the neighborhood will suffice. In addition to his learning, the teacher also fulfills his basic duty of guiding everybody who is under his control and influence.

Appendix D: Understand

Listening to audio tape: The audio tape consists of the recording in the class or a professionally developed version of the class. A student listens to the audio tape while in the car or while doing any physical activity at home. Women too can listen to the tape while performing household chores.

IV. Minimum Grammar: Grammar is taught in the first five minutes of each session with the help of the two charts given in Appendix C. A part of the charts could be covered in each session. The teacher helps the students reproduce the second chart with different verbs. Natural Way: It should be remembered that one has to develop vocabulary before learning grammar for the following reasons: • •

A child first learns words and then starts linking them together. We speak our mother tongue fluently without ever learning the grammatical rules. We learn it by repeatedly listening to our elders. Learning grammar before improving vocabulary is like putting the cart before the horse. Or it is like learning different styles of swimming by moving hands in the air inside a swimming pool without water. One has to fill the swimming pool with water (i.e., increase word power) and then learn to swim (i.e., to connect the words with grammatical rules).

No dual and feminine gender forms in the beginning: It is of little use teaching verbal forms and pronouns of feminine gender or dual in the beginning of the course since they are not frequently used in the Qur'an. V. Learning Arabic Directly from the Qur'an: In these classes, the objective of the proposed method is not to teach the students how to write or speak the Arabic language. It is just to enable them understand the message of the Qur'an while reciting it. Consequently, from the first class itself, the Qur'an is used for teaching. • •

•

The famous Hadith, "The best of you are those who learn the Qur'an and teach it" is very relevant to this approach. There is a greater reward for learning through this method. For example, one does not get any reward for the letters of this sentence: Žû¢ çÆÀ¢MïÉ®¦ŠÀÿ. However, if he practices learning Arabic from " ö  ì¬È ÷ƶ¦ Ï¦ŠÀÿ" (a part of verse 3:51), he gets a reward for reciting each letter! Non-Qur'anic words are not taught unless they are different forms of Qur'anic words; thus, the student is able to link and remember the meanings of the Qur'anic words easily. For example, in the sentence Žû¢ çÆÀ¢MïÉ®¦ŠÀÿ, ÆÀ¢MïÉ® and Žû¢ ç are not Qur'anic words. Hence, for a beginner, it is least beneficial to teach Qur'anic Arabic using such sentences.

Anyone who aspires to total success, and is afraid of failure in the life of this world and in the life hereafter, should ponder over the Quranic verses mentioned above. The Creation of the Almighty is without flaws or imperfections. Everything in this universe is functioning within the limits defined by its Creator. Only man is prone to adopt a course not approved by his Creator. Although the freedom of choice is granted by Allah Himself to test every human being, the one who choose wrongly will suffer the consequences. Allah is the Most Merciful towards His wonderful creation, i.e., man. He has promised Paradise for those who shall act according to the code of conduct fixed by Him. This code has been bestowed for the guidance throughout the human history. The final edition of this code is the Qur'an which is revealed in Arabic. Since this is the final edition, He has taken the responsibility to preserve it.
