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

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

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

4. 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?

5. 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!

6. 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!

7. 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. 71 www.understandquran.com Learning Tip

72. 72 www.understandquran.com 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. 73 www.understandquran.com 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. 74 www.understandquran.com 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.
