10 Learning & Motivational Tip Spiritual-emotional, Intellectual, and Time-Space ride

11 The Time-Machine! In Disney World, Florida, there is a simulation ride, called Time-machine. You sit in a car in a big dark hall and watch the screens (3D simulation) When your car ‘moves,’ you feel as if you are traveling through skies and coming back to earth to pass through jungles and dinosaurs… All of it for a couple of minutes.

12 When you open the Qur’an… You can go for a true time and space ride. There is nothing false (simulation) here! Qur’an is kitabul-mastoor : written book The universe, with all its details including humans becomes kitabul-manzoor (an open book).

13 When you open the Qur’an… The whole universe becomes a 4D movie (3 Dimensions + time). And who is the guide??? ALLAH Subhanahu wa ta’ala.

14 An example: From Surah An-Naba Have We not made the earth a resting place? And the mountains as stakes? And created you in pairs, … And constructed above you seven strong (heavens), And made therein a burning lamp, And sent down from the rain clouds pouring water, That we may bring forth grain and vegetation. And gardens of entwined growth? … Indeed, the day of judgment is an appointed time.. Indeed, Hell is lying in wait; For the transgressor, a place of return… Indeed, for the righteous is attainment – garden and grapevines…. Space / time Future/ time

15 Let us go back in History Has the story of Moses reached thee? Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa:- "Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds: Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself: … But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance); Further, he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah). Then he collected (his men) and made a proclamation, But Allah did punish him, (and made an) example of him, - in the Hereafter, as in this life. Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears.

16 An advice with love and affection! Have you seen a mother advising her child through stories and examples? Warning her child of consequences of bad action? Allah is much more kind to us than a mother is to her child. More than that, we will find Al- Qur’an matching perfectly with our innate nature!

17 To go on this ride… Just open the Qur’an WITH FAITH AND DEVOTION and start reading it or listening to it. And you can enjoy that ride! A spiritual – intellectual – emotional – time and space ride. BUT THERE IS A CONDITION!!! You have to understand its Arabic!!!

18 Plan for it now…! Masha-Allah, you already took 1 step (equal to almost 10 hours) by starting this Short Course. Only 19 steps (190 hours) remain! Let us pray that we never stop! Without understanding: ‘Deaf and Blind’ … 20 Pondering & receiving admonition

Qur ’ an: فَضْل، لَو، الصَّلاَة، كَمْ، مَلََك etc. فَضْل، لَو، الصَّلاَة، كَمْ، مَلََك etc. Grammar: هذَا، هؤُلاءِ، ذلِكَ، أولئكَ، الَّذِي، الَّذِينَ Motivational tip: An intellectual, emotional, and spiritual Time-space ride
