Short Course Begin to Understand Qur’an & Salah – The Easy Way Lesson No. 5 (Introduction) Make sure you download the fonts sent with the or visit the website and download them.

In this lesson…  Qur’an:1 Ayah; 2 Ahadeeth  Grammar:he, they, you, you all…  Educational tip: You have a powerful brain!

Pondering over its verses.. i.e., Arabic verses. Necessary to understand Quranic Arabic And it is easy too… Purpose of Revelation

Qur’an can not be translated Example (I have to pick another langauge! So, I take Urdu here): Kaise kaise aise waise hogaye Aise waise kaise kaise hogaye If this can not be translated, how can Qur’an be?

Meaning what? Even if you have read 100 translations of the Holy Qur’an, in simple terms you have not read it at all !!! Qur’an is Arabic Qur’an only!

Please note that… We are not negating the rewards (10 rewards for each letter recited) Not decreasing the value of translation We will learn Arabic through the translation only. But translation is not the destination!

Special effects of Arabic verses 10 rewards for each letter Many spiritual affects of the verses and surahs. “Spiritual voltage” of the Qur'an that penetrates deep into the heart.

71 Learning Tip

72 About remembering … How will you remember me? With reference to this meeting. Not with reference to my office, home, Masjid, etc.! How will you remember the meanings of new words? With reference to THE FIRST example (meeting) in which you have understood the word. You may have read it before, but without understanding.

73 Example You have learnt بِ، فِي، عَلَى، إِلَى, بِ: بِسْمِ الله فِي: فِي سَبِيلِ الله عَلَى: السَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَى: إنَّا ِللهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُون If you forget the examples, you may forget the meanings or confuse between one another.

74 An Imp. Secret of this Course Every example given in this course (for the 100 words) is:  Simple  Familiar  Spiritual/Emotional  Repeatedly used We will learn the meanings new words by remembering their examples too so that they can be easily recalled.

75 If you forget me and if someone is with you, … He will remind of this first meeting Similarly, if you forget the meaning of a new word, then Just recall the example.

76 After you know someone… You don’t have to remember the 1 st meeting. Similarly… You don’t have to recall the first example, once you learn the meaning of a word.

Be ready for the next lesson! Allah has chosen you to be the ‘student’ of Qur’an. So, thank Allah for this selections and don’t discontinue. سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَكَ اللهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ نَشْهَدُ أَن لاَّ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ نَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَنَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ
