Preface
Allah, the Exalted, created the world along with two sources of guidance for
mankind: one of them is The Holy Book of Allah and the other is noble and pious
servants of Allah. His creation has always received guidance from these two sources.
In every generation and towards every nation Allah has sent prophets and revealed
books or scriptures along with them so that the message of Allah continues to reach
the people through them. Allah also revealed a book to our prophet Muhammad
(PBUH) in the form of the Qur'an and He ordered him to recite the book to the
people. He was ordered to perform the duty of reciting it and at the same time he
should explain the interpretation clearly, and purify the people through the same
book.
public, which is playing an effective role in understanding the Qur'an and bringing
people closer to it.
One such institution is "The Hyderabad Understand Qur'an Academy" which
developed a simple course on the Qur'an 11 to 12 years ago to connect people with
the Qur'an. Alhamdulillah, I got an opportunity to teach this course and have been
teaching this course continuously since 2015. For many years I taught, in association
with "Roohul-Qur'an Center, Delhi" and for the past few years, I have been teaching
at Al-Furqan Qur'an Centre Gorakhpur after shifting to Gorakhpur.
While teaching this course, the idea that a new course should be developed in a
similar pattern repeatedly came to my mind, in which special importance should be
given to the problems faced by the students earlier, so that they waste no time facing
unnecessary doubts and learn maximum in the shortest possible time. Since the
majority of students in such a course are students who have no prior Arabic
background, the teachers and interpreters face many challenges. However, keeping
past experiences in view, efforts have been made to make the course more useful
and utilised. Special consideration has been made to derive the words and phrases in
this course from the Qur’an itself and it is emphasized that the exercises are more
practical and effective.
In this course, there are about 250 words which have been used 51000 times in
the Holy Qur'an, in different forms, covering 65% of the total words in the Holy
Qur’an (which are about 78000).
This is the first book published by Al-Furqan Qur'an Center Gorakhpur. The
second part is also planned to be published soon.
Important instructions
The basic requirement of this course is that the candidate must know the
recitation of the Qur’an along with reading and writing of any one of these
languages - Urdu/Hindi/English.
This course will be conducted online, and soon efforts are being taken to start it
offline as well, In Sha Allah.
Classes must be joined on time. Apart from class, it is necessary to assign 30
minutes daily for revision to learn well.
The exercises given at the end of each lesson must be completed and
submitted on time.
Certificates will be given to successful students on completion of the course.

To connect a person who believes the Qur’an to be the book of guidance, the
Qur’an.
To teach Qur’anic Arabic in a very simple way to Muslims who recite the holy
Qur’an without understanding its meaning.
Also, to understand the words and phrases used in the five daily prayers.
To make the reader of the Qur'an realize that Allah has revealed this book for
us.
Allah says in the Qur’an َعةً٘ ًّا ى ىىؿ َّيهي ًٍ ىت ٍؿلًيي ٍٔ ىف ن
اًَُّا اىٍُزى ٍى ىِاہي ي ٍُقآُا ى ىwhich means that “Indeed We
(Allah) have revealed the Qur’an in arabic so that you (all) can understand”.
Hazrat Umar Farooque (RA) says: ًٍ ىت ىؿ َّي يٍ ٍٔا اى ُّي ىغ ىث ا ٍى ىؿ ىرة ً َّ٘ ىث ىفاًُ ٌ ىہا ًٌ ٍَ دًًٍِٗهيwhich means, "Learn
Arabic language because it is a part of your religion”.
One of them is that our Qur’an is revealed in the Arabic language and the other
is that our entire prayer (salah) from Allahu Akbar to Assalamu’alaikum is in Arabic.
You and I have gathered to learn and teach the book of Allah. So, first of all,
there are some basic facts that we should keep in our mind. The first thing that is
9
generally in the minds of Muslims is that the Qur’an is in Arabic and we do not know
this language, so how can we learn it?
The Qur'an has 30 parts, 114 chapters, 6666 verses and 78000 words. Now
see! The words have been repeated so many times that if the repeated words are
removed from the Qur'an, the number of the words will remain at only 17000. If we
learn a little Arabic grammar, there will be only 4500 words to be memorized and if
we are aware of the rule of the root and source, the number of the words will be
reduced even more and will be just 1800. SubhanAllah!
Therefore, the closer you are to the Qur’an, the easier it will be for you In sha
Allah.
Remember one Hadith: Whoever comes to Allah walking, Allah comes to him
running.
The messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "The best among you (is the one) who
learns the Qur’an and teaches it."
Therefore, today and at this very moment, make an intention that you will
become an example for this Hadeeth.
“O Allah Increase me in Knowledge. O' Allah make it easy and do not make it
difficult and make it end well.”

There are three types of کىي ً ىٍثor Word in the Arabic language.
A word is called “ ”کىي ً ىٍثin the Arabic language. کىي ً ىٍثincludes all Arabic words that
we read, hear or speak. It has three types: Noun (ً) اًش, Verb ()فِعل, and Article ()َحؼ ى.
1. Noun (ً)اًش: The name of a person, place, thing, quality or work is called an
Ism. Like: ىزٍٗ هد،ً يٌ ٍصي ً ه، ىٌ َّه يث،اب
ن ً ىخ ه
2. Verb ()فِعل: The word which expresses action or something happening in
past, present or future tense. Like: He hit َض ىب
ى ىHe hits ْض يب
ً ٍ ىی
3. Article () ىَحؼ: All words except ً اشand فؿوare called َحؼ. These letters are
used to establish a relation between words in the sentence. That means the
words which join ً اشand/ or فؿو. Like: (ف ً ٍیin), ( ىؾلٰیon) ,( ىكand), ( ىٗاO!).
We will first read about the Noun (ً)اًش-
11
Nouns are identified by two main features. 1- Tanveen (two zabars ‘ ً ‘, two
zers ‘ ً ‘ and two pesh ‘ً ‘) in the end. 2- Al ( )اؿin the beginning. Like: ن ً ىخا نةا،اب
ن ً ىخ ه،اب
ن ً ىخ و
اى ٍل ًه ىخ ي, اب
or اب اى ٍل ًه ىخ ى,اب
ً اى ٍل ًه ىخ
When a noun (ً )اًشis used as a common noun, it has tanveen and when it is
particularized (proper noun), it has Al ()اؿ. Just as we use "The" for proper nouns and
use "A or An" for common nouns in English. It means the noun with Al ( )اؿis a proper
noun and the noun with tanveen is a common noun.
All nouns having tanveen express the meaning of ‘one’, ‘a’, ‘some’ or ‘any’ in
their translation while the nouns having Al ( )اؿdo not require it.
When Al ) (الis prefixed to a noun, the tanveen is removed from it. The noun
having Al ( )اؿhas only one zabar’ً ’, one zer’ًِ ’ or one pesh’ً ’. Tanveen and ()اي
never come together.
Proper and Common Noun

Remember that tanveen and Al can not come together on a noun. Every
noun having )(ايwill have only one zabar ‘ ً ‘, zer ‘ ًِ ‘ or pesh ‘ ً ‘.

who do righteous deeds that they shall have a great reward (Surah Al-Isra).

Q.3 Put a tick mark ( ) against the correct answers to the following questions.
For vocabulary, words used for communication in everyday life are taught in these
books. For example, This is an apple. This is a pomegranate. This is a cat.
But here in this course, we will start learning Arabic with the words of prayer and
the Qur'an so that we can apply whatever we learn in our daily prayers and the
recitation of the Qur'an.
We will start with ًاىؾي ٍٔذي ةًاہلل. Allah orders us to read ً اىؾي ٍٔذي ةًاہللbefore reciting Qur’an.
Qur’an is the book of guidance. It guides us in every step of life. But Shaitan
wants to deprive us of guidance by keeping us away from the Qur’an.
The Qur’an is a blessed book. Allah has placed all the good and blessings of this
life and the hereafter in it. Shaitan wants to deprive us of these blessings.
The Shaitan is thrown away from the mercy of Allah because of his
disobedience. That is why he is called the outcast/rejected and now he wants
to deprive us of the mercy of Allah. Therefore, there is a need to stay away
from Shaitan.
Allah, the Exalted said, اف ىلهي ًٍ ىؾ يد ٌّك ٌُّتًی هٍن َّ ا ً َّفIndeed, The Satan is your clear enemy
اىش ٍ٘ ىع ى
and a wise man is always cautious about his enemies.
14
The purpose of reciting بصً اہللis that a person is associated with Allah in every
work. He should not live relying on his strength and external means.
It means Allah is so merciful that you can say “It is like a torrential rain which is
continuously falling.” Allah says, ً ىال ت ٍل ىِ يع ٍٔا ًٌ ٍَ ىر ٍخ ىٍ ًث اہللwhich means “Never despair of
Allah’s mercy.”
(1) Singular noun refers to one (person or thing). Example: اىہللي، اب ن ً ىخ ه، يٌ ٍصيًً هit
means one Muslim, one book, one Allah.
(2) Dual noun refers to two (persons or things). Example: ٌٍ ٍصي ً ىٍا ًف, يٌ ٍصي ً ىٍی ٍ ًنwhich
means two muslims.
(3) Plural noun refers to three or more. Example: Muslims يٌ ٍصي ً يٍ ٍٔ ىف, يٌ ٍصيًًٍی ٍ ىنit means
many Muslims.
It is very easy to form dual forms i.e حرِ٘ہfrom a singular noun in Arabic language.
First, we put Zabar َ on the last letter of the word (singular noun) and then add
ا ًف, ٍَٗ at the end.

Introduction:
This surah is the first surah of the holy Qur’an. Because the holy Qur’an
opens/begins with this surah, it is called Al-Fatiha which means the opener.
There are many other names for this surah like Al Kafiyah, Ashshafiyah,
Umm-ul-Kitab, Sabi-ul-Masani which shows the importance of this surah. This
surah is so important that Allah has commanded to recite it in each & every rakaat
of the salah.
The person who believes in Allah as His creator and sustainer must praise Allah
because Allah is not just the creator of human beings but He is also the creator
and sustainer of the universe. It is only Allah, the Exalted who is aware of each
& every need of His creatures and He takes care of and makes all arrangements
for their needs. He is the cherisher and sustainer of the world.
Allah has bestowed countless favours and bounties upon us which we can
never repay. Therefore at least we should keep praising Allah with our tongues.
Allah has said: “If you are grateful, I will give you more”.
20
Allah has given us the power & the ability to pray and enabled us to stand
before Him. For all these blessings and favours we should praise Allah from the
depth of our hearts.
We have read about the virtue and importance of these attributes in the
chapter on Bismillah.
Allah has kept 99 percent of his mercy with Him and distributed only one percent
of His mercy in the world and it is because of that one per cent mercy, all creatures
love one another.

of judgement (of the) day Master
So, do not get trapped by the colours of this world and forget the hereafter.
Don’t destroy your deeds because one day very soon you have to appear before Me
and then I will award you for your good deeds and punish you for your bad deeds”.

ىن ٍص ىخ ًؿی ٍ ين ىكاًَّٗا ىک ىن ٍؿتي يد اًَّٗا ىک
We ask for help And you alone We worship You alone
The root is ْ ٚ ع The meaning The root of this word is ع The meaning of اٗاis
it means to help. of كis 'and', ب دand it means to only or alone. The
and اَّٗا ىکis worship. These commonly meaning of ىکis you. =
‘you alone’. used words have the only you, you alone.
same root: عابد،معبودetc.
Worship is the slavery of Allah. As a slave is faithful to his master and does not
spend his life against his pleasure. In the same way, we are the slaves and servants of
Allah. Allah is our Lord and Master.
Allah has created us for His worship. We declare in each rakat of our prayers
that “You alone we worship”. But in life outside prayers, our actions are contrary to
our declaration.
The person who has the Qur’an in his heart i.e memorized it, will not go to
hell.
Hazrat Oqba Bin Amir Johani (RA) narrated that the Prophet (PBUH) said:
Feminine Noun:
The symbol ةis added at the end of a masculine noun for making it a feminine noun
and this symbol is an identifying feature of a feminine noun. For example:
Feminine Masculine
يٌ ٍصي ً ىٍ هث ًيٌ ٍصي ً ه
کى ً ى
اف هة افکى ً ه
ىؾاة ً ىد هة ىؾاة ً هد

اىىصَّ اد ً ىك يث ىصاد ً ىك هث
23
is added at the end of the feminine noun. Forات is removed andة The round taa
example:
اى ٍىک ى ً ى
افاتي کى ً ى
اف هة
اى ٍى ىؿاة ً ىداتي ىؾاة ً ىد هة

اىىصَّ ادًكىاتي ىصاد ً ىك هث
ىا ٍى ىج َِّاتي ىج َِّ هث
اى ٍ ٙىٗاتي آ ىٗ هث
24
Types of plural:
Plurals are of two types 1. Solid plural (ً )جٍؽ شاى2. Broken plural ()جٍؽ ٌهَّس.
It has two types. 1.ً جٍؽ ٌذَک شاى/ Solid masculine plural which is formed by
adding كفand َٗ at the end of a singular noun. Example: و ج ىؾا ًٌيي ٍٔ ىف ىؾا ًٌيًی ٍ ىن
ىؾا ًٌ ه
2. ً جٍؽ ٌؤُد شاى/ Solid feminine plural which is formed by adding ) (اتat the end of a
singular noun. Examples: ت يٌ ٍصي ً ىٍا و،ات
يٌ ٍصي ً ىٍ هث ج يٌ ٍصي ً ىٍ ه. In both of these kinds, the singular
noun’s structure remains as it is.
On contrary to it, the plural which does not accept ) ات،َٗ ،(كف, is called جٍؽ ٌهَّس.
جٍؽ ٌهَّسdoes not have any particular rule for its formation, instead, it has some
patterns.
We recognize them by identifying their patterns and it is not difficult. The more
we read, the more we will be able to identify them. In sha Allah
Q.2 Change the following masculine nouns into feminine nouns and
also write their feminine plural
ىصاة ً هر

Every man considers someone as his role model for achieving success. We
should consider these guided servants of Allah as our role models.
اىض َا ِّىی ٍ ىن
َّ ىكالى ًٍ ًىؾي ٍى٘ہ اى ىٍٍ ٍغ يض ٍٔ ًب ً غىیٍر
And nor (of) those who on them (of) those who not
are misguided earned (your) wrath
ضا ِّىی ٍ ىن،
ىضا ُّى ٍٔ ىف ىpl اؿ
ٌّ ىض Them ًٍ ً ْ on ىؾلٰی Not/except
In the above verse, we pray to follow the path of good and pious people.
In it, the shelter of Allah has been sought to avoid the way of people who went
astray.
O’Allah save us from the path of those servants of yours who earned your
wrath and on whom you sent down your punishment and let not follow the
path of those who went astray.
People who earned wrath are those rebellious ones who intentionally do not
act according to the orders of Allah and as the result, they earn the wrath of
Allah and the misguided people are those who go astray from the straight path.
A nobleman always avoids the company of bad people.
An Incomparable Surah
Hazrat Abu Huraira narrates (RA). He said that Ubai Bin Kaab (RA) recited Surah
Fatiha before the Prophet of Allah (PBUH). On this the prophet (PBUH) said:
So/ Thus you (two) ىف ىاٍُخ ىيٍاAnd you (two) ىكاىٍُخ ىيٍا
So/ Thus you (all) ىف ىاْمُتْنAnd you (all) ىكاىْمُتْن
So/ Thus I ىف ىاُىاAnd I ىكاىُىا
So/ Thus we َ ىف ىِ ٍد يAnd we َىكُ ى ٍد ي
It has already been described that two nouns join to make a sentence. Similarly, a
sentence can also be made by combining a noun and a pronoun.
First, practice these pronouns combining them with nouns. For example
ن ً ىخ ه،َ دًٍٗ ه،( ىر ٌّب
) ةى ٍ٘ هج،اب
His Lord ىرةُّہ
Their Lord (Two) ىرةُّ يٓ ىٍا
Their Lord (Three or more) ًٍ ٓىرةُّ ي
Your Lord کىرةُّ ى
Your Lord (Two) ىرةُّهي ىٍا
Your Lord (Three or more) ًٍ ىرةُّهي
My Lord ىرب ِّ ٍی
Our Lord ىرةُّ ىِا
Today you have learnt the pronouns of both kinds. Some pronouns come
at the beginning of the sentence and a common noun is used after them. It
makes sense and completes the sentence.
Others are always attached at the end of some word and their translation
shows possession and it does not make sense i.e., the sentence remains
incomplete.

We believe in the Kalima ا ً َّال اہلل ىال اًى ٰ ىہand have faith in it and on this basis, we are
called Muslims. And we are reminded of this in every Azaan.
We should consider whether we only give a verbal testimony of faith or our
actions and behaviour also prove it.
This should be kept in mind that our testimony and faith in Allah will only be
true when our actions also prove that we truly believe in the oneness of Allah
and follow His orders.
Earlier you have learnt about eight pronouns َ ُ ى ٍد ي، اىُىا، اىْمُتْن، اىٍُخ ىيٍا، اىُ ٍ ىج،ًٍ ْي، ْي ىٍا،ْٔي ى
Among these, the first-person pronouns ىاُىاand َ ُ ى ٍد يand the pronoun for duals
ْي ىٍا، اىٍُخ ىيٍاare used for both males and females.
Today you will learn one pronoun of the feminine gender. It is used in many
places in the Qur’an. You will learn the rest of the pronouns later on.
ھ ً ىی ْٔي ى
‘She’ ‘He’
You have learnt the second form of ٔ ْي ىwhich is the attached pronoun ہ-.
Attached pronouns are suffixed at the end of a noun or a verb.
In the same way, the other form of ھ ً ىیis ىْا
His / Him ہ
It / Her ىْا
Now let us attach the pronouns ہand ىْاto a noun.
Feminine: ٌؤُد Masculine: ٌذَک
Her Lord ىرةُّ ىٓا His Lord ىرةُّہ
ىغیٍري ىک ىك ىالاًى ٰ ىہ ىك ىت ىؿالٰی ىج ُّد ىک ک

In prayers (Salah) we glorify and praise Allah (SWT) frequently. Today you will
know the Tasbeeh i.e., ً يشتداف اہللand Hamd i.e., اىدٍ يدہللand the words similar to
them. Tasbeeh means that Allah is free from all defects. This means He has no
defect in His being or His attributes. He is free from all kinds of faults or
defects.
It is essential for every Muslim that he must glorify Allah with firm belief and he
should not have anything negative in his heart in connection with Allah. For
example, some say: “I establish prayer and I also fast and Allah sends calamity
on me. My grievances do not end even though, I do zikr like ً يش ٍت ىداف اہللand اى ٍى ىد ٍٍ يدى ً ّٰيہ
etc”. Such complaints go against Tasbeeh.
That means that this servant of Allah is not pleased and satisfied with Allah’s
decision. He has doubts in his heart. If a servant of Allah glorifies Him with such
thoughts, what kind of glorification that would be?
After Tasbeeh (ًاف اہلل
) يش ٍت ىد ىlets know about Hamd ()اى ٍى ىد ٍٍ يدہلل. Hamd means ‘praise’. It
is to describe the attributes of Allah. Remembering Allah with each & every good
42
attribute and being pleased with all His decisions and thanking Him for His countless
blessings is ‘Hamd’.
Allah hears from everyone. He hears everything. Here, those who praise Allah
are specially mentioned. That means Allah accepts their prayers. Therefore, we
should praise Allah with full enthusiasm.
Tasbeeh when man stands and is in the state of Qauma after Ruku
ا ٍى ىد ٍٍ يد ىک
ى ى ىرةَّ ىِا
Is all the praise & For you O’ my Lord
thanks.
The Messenger of Allah( PBUH) said "He who does not memorize any part of
The Qur'an is like the ruined house."
44
We will suffix the pronoun ٘بto prepositions like we suffixed the pronoun ْاto
the noun.
46
Note: Remember that the meaning of these words keeps on changing according to
their use in the sentence.

Narrated by Uqba Bin Amir( RA): When we were in Suffa, the Messenger of
Allah ( )ﷺcame out and said: Which of you would like to go out every morning to
Buthan or al-'Aqiq and bring two large she-camels without being guilty of sin or
without severing the ties of kinship? We said: Messenger of Allah, we would like to
do it. Upon this, he said: Does not one of you go out in the morning to the mosque
and teach or recite two verses from the Book of Allah? the Majestic and Glorious?
That is better for him than two she-camels, and three verses are better (than three
she-camels). and four verses are better for him than four (she-camels), and to on
their number in camels. [Sahih Muslim 803]

And all financial And all physical for Allah All the verbal
worships worships worships
The personality who performed and acted upon in the best possible way with
regard to the above-mentioned worships(verbal, physical and financial) is the
personality of the prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
The prophet (PBUH) himself acted on these three things and taught us as well.
He taught us how verbal worship should be performed and how we should
worship physically and what is the way of financial worship. Therefore, first of
all, we pray to Allah to bestow His peace, mercy and blessing upon the
benefactor of Humanity.
Further, every reciter of Tashahhud )(اىخد٘اتshould pray for himself and the pious
and righteous people as well.
Here an important point to remember is that the peace, blessing and mercy of
Allah are earned by the one who tries to earn them with their actions adhering
to the orders of Allah.

Through the words of this Kalima Shahadat, the servant is repeatedly made
aware of his servitude so that he may not forget his real Lord and that he may
always remember the graciousness and the great favours of His Messenger
(PBUH) upon the entire Muslim Ummah and that a Muslim may also identify
the status of the prophet (PBUH) in front of Allah.
Consider, the Qur’an as your greatest wealth
Hazrat Uqbah Bin Amir RA says, “One day the messenger of Allah PBUH came
while we were busy reciting the Qur’an in the mosque, He said:

Bukhari)

Durood is a gift to the prophet (PBUH) from his followers. The prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) is the greatest benefactor of this Ummah. He suffered a lot to
convey the message of Allah to his nation.
Today, after 1500 years we are Muslims, it is because of the sacrifices made by
the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) for the sake of Allah while preaching Islam.
The least we can do in return for the favours of our greatest benefactor is that
when his name is mentioned, we should send Durood upon him.
The person who visits the holy grave of the prophet (PBUH) to greet him, he
himself hears his greeting and responds to it and the greeting of those people who
greet the prophet (PBUH) being far away from him, is delivered to him by the angels
whom Allah has appointed for this purpose.
It is beyond our power and capacity to repay the favour of our prophet (PBUH).
Therefore O' Allah, I pray that you reward the prophet Mohammad (PBUH) with the
best and shower your mercy on him.
Muhammad (PBUH) is very close to Ibraheem (AS). The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is
from the descendants of Ismaeel (AS), the son of Ibraheem (AS). Allah gave a high
status to His friend Ibraheem (AS) and made him the Imam of mankind.

After offering prayers, when we become busy with worldly affairs, we forget to
remember Allah and we forget to be grateful for His favours. Therefore, we
should recite this supplication.
It means I have offered one prayer but O' Allah help me in offering other
prayers or performing any other worship in an excellent manner. O' Allah help
in all these things.
In such a phrase the noun which is described is called ‘ ’ٌٔصٔؼin Arabic. The
second word which describes the noun is called ' ' صفجin Arabic and in English, it is
called an adjective.
In the said example the noun ‘man’ is ٌٔصٔؼand the noun ‘noble’ is صفج. In
English ( صفجAdjective) comes first and ٌٔصٔؼcomes later. In Urdu, you say کین رمد
and in English, you say, Good man, whereas in Arabic it is just the opposite. ٌٔصٔؼ
comes first and صفجcomes later example: و ىصاى ً هح
ىر يج ه.
Look carefully at the examples given earlier in the lesson. It is very easy to
identify صفج، ٌٔصٔؼin Arabic. You will find that both ٌٔصٔؼand صفجare similar to
each other. If you say, they are like identical twins, you will not be wrong.
65
3. If ٌٔصٔؼis with اؿ, صفجwill be with اؿand if the ٌٔصٔؼis with Tanveen,
صفجwill be with tanween.
4. صفج & ٌٔصٔؼwill have similar symbols/harakat (ِِ َِِ ِِِ).

In the previous lessons you have learnt about the supplications and chants
(Tasbeehat) related to prayers (Salah). Now let’s move on to the Qur’an.
َّ َأؾي ٍٔذي ةًاہللً ًٌ ى
ًًٍ٘ بً ٍص ًً اہللً اى َّر ٍخ ٍٰ ًَ اى َّرخ،ًً ٍ٘ اىش ٍ٘ ىعا ًف اى َّر ًج
Allah (SWT) has narrated in this verse: ‘O people, this book which we have
given you is full of blessings.’
Allah (SWT) has kept the good of both worlds in His book, ‘the Quran’. Allah
(SWT) has placed many unusual blessings in this unique speech. Reciting the Qur’an,
listening to it, pondering on it and understanding its meaning, requirements and
demands, trying to follow what He has stated as Halal (legal), and avoiding what has
been stated as Haram (forbidden), enlightening lives with its teachings, and then
leading a life according to it. In all respects, there is only goodness and success in this
book for mankind.
This is the same book that had been read and understood by the Companions
of the Prophet (PBUH) – the same book on which they modelled their lives. As a
result of which their lives changed. Within 100 years, they became the superpower of
the world. Their knowledge, good values and behaviour made them role models for
the rest of the world.
Today, we Muslims are deprived of the real blessings of the Book and are only
satisfied with its external and material blessings. We keep it in a safe place as
decoration. We read it only for the blessings it will bring to our homes and our shops.
74
We use it to take false oaths, place the Qur'an on our heads or use it to find a cure for
the sick. But we have lost the real purpose - although we read it, we are unwilling to
understand it, to make efforts, to find out what Allah (SWT) is telling us - and if we
don’t understand then how will we follow its teachings.
Of course, it cannot be denied that the recitation (tilawat) of this book has its
rewards. But the rewards of reading with understanding cannot be obtained only
through recitation.
Indeed, this is a ‘book of blessings'.
Allah (SWT) has explained the purpose of revelation in the following verse.
Allah (SWT) has mentioned two main purposes of the revelation of the Qur'an.
1. To ponder or reflect upon 2. To take lessons from it.
And who will fulfil these two purposes?
Allah, the Exalted says, 'The people of wisdom and intellect will’. Now we have
to decide whether we are among them or not. If we are, Allah (SWT) is addressing us
in this verse.
Indeed, Allah (SWT) has given us such a great blessing but instead of taking
advantage of this blessing, instead of following the way He has shown, we cry out of
disappointment and helplessness.
The Prophet (PBUH) of Allah (SWT) said: ‘Listen to my words carefully and you will
flourish. I am leaving behind two things: Allah's book and my Sunnah. Hold them
fast (tightly) and you will not go astray.’

In the previous verse, we have read that Allah has revealed this book for
ponderation, understanding and taking lessons from it. Now, if one wants to study
the Qur'an, there are two ways: (i) either to read the translations of the Qur'an or (ii)
read the Qur'an in its language i.e., Arabic.
Which method is better? Every literate person knows that a book can only be
enjoyed, when it is read in its original language and not its translation, and more so in
this case because the Qur’an is the word of Allah (SWT) and its translation is the word
of man. It is difficult for a human being to translate the words of another human
being and here we are speaking about the word of Allah (SWT) himself. How can
anyone do justice to it? We find it so difficult to translate the poems of Allama Iqbal
or Mirza Ghalib and even after a lot of contemplation, we are not able to get the
exact meanings of their poems in the translations.
The Quran is the word of Allah (SWT). Allah (SWT) has Himself called it a
miracle. Then how is it possible for any human to translate it and convey its exact
message?
Translation can never produce what is in the original language. The clarity of
words, their expression, their rhythm and tone, and the luminous effect of its verses
are evident in the original language and it is impossible to bring all these in
translations.
76
One finds hundreds of translations in the market; each one is different from the
other because translation is a human approach and each person thinks differently
and writes differently. Whereas the Qur'an is the word of Allah (SWT) which was
revealed fourteen hundred years ago is still the same and its effect remains
unchanged.

Pesh is added at the end of both يٌبخداand خبر. Example: اى ٍىب ً ٍ٘ يج ىنتًی ٍ هر
Generally, the Subject ( ) يٌبخداbegins with ايand the خبرis without اي.
And we know very well that a noun with ايdoes not accept Tanveen.
We must remember that يٌبخداand خبرare similar to each other as you read in ‘ ،ٌٔصٔؼ
’صفجi.e these two show similarity in their number (singular, dual, plural) and gender
(masculine or feminine forms).
78
In this hadith, the person who learns and teaches the Qur'an is said to be ‘the
best of people’.
The best men are those who do both i.e., learn and teach. Make an intention
now itself that ‘I will learn the Qur’an and teach it to others, in sha Allah.’
None of us can claim that we have gained the entire knowledge of the Qur'an
because the knowledge of the Qur'an is a vast and endless treasure that can
never finish. Our future generations will continue to learn and teach the Qur'an
and seek guidance from it until the Day of Judgment. Its knowledge will never
end.
Learning the Qur'an does not only mean learning to recite it. It is essential to
understand and ponder over its teachings.
81
Our Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) was a teacher of the Qur'an. He not only recited
the Qur'an but also taught its meaning to others, and further guided and trained
people based on its teachings.
The Qur'an is the sacred word of Allah (SWT) and it is indeed vast. How much we
gain from it depends upon our desire to learn and understand.

Allah (SWT) taught this dua (Supplication) to the Prophet (PBUH), particularly
for memorizing the Qur'an. In the beginning, when Jibraeel (A.S) used to bring
the revelation, he (PBUH) used to repeat the revelation quickly along with
Jibraeel (A.S). The Prophet (PBUH) always used to make an effort to try and
learn every word - lest he would miss or forget anything. Allah (SWT) saw this
condition of His Prophet (PBUH) and said:
۱ ۱: ک ىك ٍخ ي٘ يہ ىك يك ٍو َّر ِّب زً ٍدن ً ٍی ؾًيٍٍ ىا۔ يش ٍٔ ىرةي ٰظ ٰہ ْٓ ىال ىت ٍؿ ىج ٍو ة ً ي

82
Translation: Do not hasten with (recitation of) the Qur'an before its revelation
is completed to you. "And say, O’ Lord, increase me in knowledge.”
(Surah Taha:114)
)۱ : ک ى ً ىخ ٍؿ ىج ىو ة ً ًہ ۔ إ ً َّف ىؾ ىي ٍی ىِا ىج ٍٍ ىؿ يہ ىك ي ٍُق َاُ ى يہ ۔ ( يش ٍٔ ىرةي اىل ىً٘ا ىٌث ِّ ىال حي ى
َح ٍک ة ً ًہ ى ً ىصاُ ى ى
‘O Prophet (PBUH), do not move your tongue so fast to memorize the Qur'an
quickly. Believe it, it is our responsibility to arrange for recitation and
memorization.’
This is the dua for an increase in knowledge and knowledge has no limits.
We have read the supplication (Dua). Now we have to start learning - and for
learning, we have to use a pen.
The Prayer alone does not work. We also have to make efforts to learn by
adopting different ways and one of the most effective ways is the use of a ‘pen’
for learning.
When one sit’s down to write something, all other parts of our body calm down
and we focus on our writing. Our minds, eyes, hands, and fingers altogether
participate in this learning process.
Thus, you should also try to do your homework daily, as it will add pace to your
learning.
83
We have now started learning, so what is the best way to learn? Learning with
great effort, so that you can teach others after this course is over.
When we hire someone as an employee, we expect and wish that they do
whatever work we assign with great effort and in the best possible manner.
This is exactly what Allah, the Exalted demands and expects us to do –
Whatever work and actions that we do – be it prayers, fasting, remembering
Allah (SWT), reciting the Qur’an as well as other worldly things that we may do
- be it in the house or office, we should do it to the best of our abilities and in
the most outstanding manner.
Allah (SWT) looks at the quality rather than quantity in the deeds of His
servants.

Surah – Al – Ikhlas
Introduction: It is a short chapter (Surah) but its explanation and meaning are very
significant. Allah introduces Himself in this Surah through the Prophet (PBUH). The
polytheists of Makkah would ask the Prophet (PBUH) about the lineage of
Allah(SWT), they would ask him to tell something about the entity he regarded as
God, to whose worship he called. Allah (SWT) revealed this Surah in response. And He
said, ''O Prophet! The people ask you about me. Tell them who I am. What is my
name? What are my attributes?”
Once the Prophet (PBUH) asked the people to gather and said, “I would recite
one-third of the Qur’an.” Therefore, the people who could have, gathered, the
Prophet (PBUH) came and recited Surah Ikhlas and said: this Surah is equal to
one-third of the Qur’an (Saheeh Muslim).
The name of this Surah is Ikhlas. It means to make something PURE.
We say in Urdu: “This honey is 'Khalis' (pure).” That is to say that it is not
adulterated. In the same way, this Surah purifies the faith and belief of mankind.
Whoever recites the Surah with comprehension and belief, his ideology will turn
pure In sha Allah.
ىكا ىؿ ىی يل ٍٔ يؿ كىائ ً هو ك ٍىٔ هؿIts basic meaning is “To say". It has been repeated in the Qur’an
more than 1600 times.
89
Allah is the entity Who is One and Alone. He has no partner. He created
the entire universe with His power. And He alone is running the system of
this universe.
Allah has no son and no father. He is forever and will remain forever. Children
and parents are human needs and needs are weaknesses. And the Almighty
Allah is free from all sorts of weaknesses.
This verse negates the belief of all those who believe that Allah has a son.
Particularly, the Christians who regard Jesus Christ as the son of Allah.
90
ى ٍى٘ ىس ىنٍ ً ٍريًه ىش ٍی هءThere is none like Allah, neither in essence, nor in attributes, nor
in rights and authorities. Those who associate others with the attributes of
Allah have failed to recognize Allah.
This short Surah has cut the root of polytheism itself.
A Companion’s Narrative
An Ansari companion used to lead the prayers in Masjid-e- Quba. He used
to recite Surah Al-Ikhlas after Surah Al- Fatiha and then recite another Surah. It
means he offered no rakaat without Surah Ikhlas. When enquired by the Prophet
(PBUH) he replied that he loved the Surah very much. The Prophet (PBUH) said,
''Your love for this Surah has made you enter Jannah.” (Tirmidhi)
It is a cause of concern for us that we recite this Surah, not for love but to
shorten and finish our Namaz as quickly as possible as it is a very short
surah. May Allah protect us!

Lesson: 14 (Part – A)
Introduction: Surah Al- Falaq
The last two Surahs (chapters) of the Qur'an are called يٌ ىؿِّٔ ىذ ىحی ٍ ًن. It means “The two
Surahs that provide Allah’s refuge”.
In Hadith, these Surahs have been regarded as unique. That has no parallel.
Hazrat Ayesha (RA) describes that whenever a disease caught the Prophet
(PBUH), he recited these two Surahs and blew over his palms and then wiped them
over his entire body. Likewise, it was his routine to recite these Surahs while going to
bed.
The recitation of these Surahs in the morning and evening is the best remedy to
ward off all sorts of evil, jealousy and temptations.
These Surahs should be recited regularly in the morning and evening and
children should be made to learn them by heart so that they may be protected from
the ill effects of sorcery, etc.
The earth, the sky, the moon, the stars, the sun, the night and the day are all
creations of Allah. But the daybreak has been mentioned especially in this
verse. It is indicative of the fact that the Lord who can bring forth daybreak by
dispelling the darkness of the night, can also grant us peace and ease out of
unfavourable circumstances.
O Allah! I take refuge in you from the evil of the rest of the creatures.
In this verse, refuge in Allah has been sought from all the problems that might
affect us in this world.
Man does not know when and where he might be affected by the evil of any
living or non-living creatures. It is necessary for us to always be in the
protection of Allah. So that Allah may protect us from the evil of creatures.
From the evil of the darkness of the night when it spreads everywhere and
covers the sky. Amid such gloom, a man can’t see anything. In such a situation
he is prone to get into trouble; he may fall into a pit, bump into a pillar, or a
poisonous snake or insect may sting. Thus, the way to prevent these is to take
refuge in the Creator of those harmful creations.
97
Normally, man is free from daily work and activities at night. His mind is empty.
And an empty mind is a devil’s workshop. At this time sinful thoughts and
temptations start to occur in his heart. More evil deeds happen during night-
time than during the day, such as TV programs, cinema, clubs, illicit relations
and theft etc. So, it is incumbent upon us to avoid the evil of the night.
That is why it is prohibited to send children out of the house at the time of
maghrib.
Generally, the magicians enchant polytheistic and paganism phrases and blow
on the knots of thread or rope. Apart from this, there might be several other
tactics of witchcraft.
The witchcraft committed on the Prophet (PBUH) had eleven knots. The
Prophet (PBUH) kept reciting verses from both the Surahs one by one and
untying a knot upon completion of each verse. After untying of knots the
Prophet (PBUH) said, ''I feel just like the person who came out of detention.”
These Surahs should be recited in the morning and evening punctually so that
we might be protected from the ill effects of witchcraft.
These Surahs are the best remedy to undo the effects of witchcraft.
Islam prohibits the enactment of witchcraft directly or indirectly. However,
some clerics declare witchcraft as blasphemy(kufr).
These days it is prevalent among illiterates. 99% of them are impostors who run
their shops. They instil wrong temptations, especially among women and
demand hefty amounts from them.
98
فؿو ٌاضی:ىخ ىص ىد َ ىخا ًش ًدٍٗ ى،( ىخاش هًد ىخا ًش يد ٍك ىفplural)
When فؿو ٌاضیis used after اًذىاit gives
the meaning of future.
Generally, witchcraft is done out of envy. Allah showers his bounties on a man
and he becomes rich and owns a luxury car and earns name and fame, now his
friends, relatives and neighbours envy him. Now, they are always in search of a
chance to defame him and bring a bad name to him. They try hard to trouble
him in every possible way.
Who are they? They are the same people who are with you all the time.
They praise and speak well of you in front but in reality, they are your ill-
wishers and they desire to see you suffer. Therefore, in the said verse
protection from the evil of enviers has been sought.
What is envy? To be jealous of the bounties and prosperity of a person and
wish that his bounty may be snatched from him whether the envier enjoys that
bounty or not.
Jealousy is a psychological illness. The Prophet (PBUH) said “Beware of jealousy
for verily, it destroys good deeds the way fire destroys wood.” (Abu Dawood)
The Best
Ibn Abis Juhani (RA) says that the Prophet (PBUH) said to me, ''O Ibn Abis!
Should I not tell you the best thing with which the seekers of refuge take
refuge?'' I said, “Of course, O Prophet (PBUH).” He (PBUH) said.

The refuge of Allah (SWT) is sought in this Surah through three attributes of
Him.
He is the Lord of mankind: He is the Lord of all of mankind right from Adam (AS)
until Judgement Day. It is He who facilitates the upbringing of all. It is common
sense that the Lord who provides us with all necessities and on whose bounties
we are flourishing alone deserves to rule over us. Naturally, man abides by the
law of his ruler.
Therefore, Allah is our Sovereign and He alone deserves to be worshipped. This
dual standard is not acceptable even by an average human ruler that the man
gets benefits from him and praises someone else.

now and then
The devil (Satan) is the biggest enemy of man. But he (Satan) is invisible
from our sight. Satan continues to whisper various types of sinful thoughts and
temptations into man’s heart while he is oblivious to the remembrance of Allah.
And when he starts to remember Allah, Satan takes the back seat and retreats.
Whispering is the first step towards sin. Thousands of thoughts come to our
mind day and night. Some of them are related to sins. If we can deal with the
whisperings at their very first stage, then they will not harm us otherwise it
will turn into the intention. And the intention leads to action. And frequent
actions become a habit. And ultimately bad habits result in bad outcomes.
As soon as Satan whispers into the hearts of noble servants of Allah, they
immediately and consciously take Allah’s refuge. Thus, they acquire the
protection of Allah.

It is narrated in the Hadith that Prophet (PBUH) said, “Indeed Satan circulates in
the human body as blood does. And he tries to instigate his animal instincts.”
104
It is also described in Hadith that Satan blows over the heart of man in various
ways. And thus, he tempts him to commit evil deeds.
It should be kept in mind that Satan has no authority to force a man to commit
any evil deed. He only has the power to whisper. But the man sins by his will.
The cure for heart disease is in the Qur'an. Allah says regarding the Qur'an: ًش ىفا هء
ً ِّى ىٍا ف ًی اى ُّص يد ٍكر. Cure for what (diseases) is in the hearts. What are the diseases of the
heart? Ill-will, distrust, ignorance, hypocrisy, jealousy, malice, animosity,
grudge, arrogance etc.

Evil whisperings are not only from Satan, but it is also the work of man. As
Allah added the word mankind as well at the end of this Surah. It means that
some men act like Satan (evil deeds and whisperings).
They also speak in such a way that a simple Muslim falls prey to doubts and
suspicions.
Today, what not (evil) is being propagated through the internet and TV screens.
The younger generation is being spoilt. Propaganda against Islam is being
spread. All this is being done in the name of advancement!

Lesson: 15 (Part-B)
Grammar
In the last three lessons you have learnt six patterns of the past verb فؿو ٌاضی.
For example:
ُ ىا: ف ىىؿ ٍي ىِا تي:ىف ىؿي يٍج ًٍ حي:ًٍ ف ىىؿ ٍي يخ ىت:ف ىىؿي ىٍج ٍكا:ف ىىؿيي ٍٔا ف ىىؿ ىو
On adding ( )ٌاbefore فؿو ٌاضی, it gives the meaning of 'did not'. This we have learnt in
the previous lessons. Revise it here, once again.
For example:
ًَضةٍخ ٍي
ىٌا ى ى ىٌا ىنتىتئا ىٌا ف ىىؿ ىو
You (all) did not hit. They did not write. He did not do.
Whether you write the pronoun before فؿو ٌاضیor not, it‟s your choice. The
meaning will remain the same in both cases.
In lesson no 11 you have learnt that the sentence which starts with a noun is
called a ' Nominal Sentence' جٍيه اشٍ٘ه. For example: The believers are truthful. اى ٍى يٍ ٍؤ ًٌِي ٍٔ ىف
ىصاد ً يك ٍٔ ىفThe house is big.: ىا ٍىب ى ٍ٘ يج ىنتًی ٍ هر
Similarly, a sentence which starts with a verb is called a verbal sentence جٍيہ فؿي٘ه.
In the verbal sentence, the verb is usually followed by the subject and the subject
is written with 'Pesh', for example, Zaid sat: ىج ىي ىس ىزٍٗ هد. Sometimes another noun may
follow with a 'Zabar' over it. That is called an 'object or 'ٌفؿٔؿ. For example, Zaid hit
Khalid َض ىب ىزٍٗ هد ىخاى ًد نا
( ى ىthe subject is the doer and an object is a person or thing which gets
affected by the verb)
Subject فاؾو: The noun following a verb having a 'pesh' over it, becomes its
subject.
Object ٌفؿٔؿ: The noun following a verb having a 'Zabar' over it, becomes its
object.
Note: This is the basic structure of a verbal sentence جٍيه فؿي٘ه. You will study the
further details later. In sha Allah.
Emphasis in the past verb فؿو ٌاضی
Sometimes لقدor قدis added before the verb in the past tense. Consequently, it gives an
emphatic meaning and it is translated as indeed, certainly, surely, definitely etc.
Certainly, the Salah is established. ىك ٍد ىكا ىٌجً اىصَّ ي ٰٔةي
Indeed, Khalid hit Hamid. َض ىب ىخاى ً هد ىخا ًٌد نا

Hazrat Abdullah bin Masood says,
“Only the Qur‟an could tell a slave about himself. So, if he loves the Qur‟an, then
surely he loves Allah and His Prophet.” (Narrated by Tabrani)

Allah does not need to swear to describe anything. Every single word or

Every moment of life that passes without belief and noble deed leads the man
towards loss.
ٰا ىٌِي ٍٔا: The first and foremost condition to prevent loss is Imaan(Belief). There must
be firm belief in Allah and His Prophet (PBUH).
The second condition along with the belief is righteous deeds. Only belief cannot
prevent a man from loss unless it is accompanied by righteous deeds. To lead a life
believing in Allah and His Prophet (PBUH) as well as abiding by their
commandments whether it is related to worship, dealings, social affairs or ethics.

It is the individual and collective responsibility of every human being that along
with practising good deeds, he must enjoin people to what is right and refrain
from/forbid what is wrong.
Many parents offer Namaz themselves, but their children and family members
are completely careless about Namaz and they (parents) do not bother at all.
Such a person is at loss as per the Qur'an.
The last condition is ىح ىٔاصًی ة ًاىصَّ ب ٍرadvise each other to be patient. Obstacles will
come in the way of the person who practices ( ىح ىٔاصًی ة ًا ٍى ىد ٍقadvise each other to tell
the truth). He will have to undergo tests and tribulations. He will be targeted and
blamed. In such unfavourable circumstances, he should be patient and advise his
companions to be steadfast and patient as well. The lives of the Prophets and
their companions are glaring examples.

Lesson:17 (Part-A)
Surah Al-Nasr
Allah (SWT) has given glad tidings to the Prophet (PBUH) and his companions in
this Surah.
For the sake of religion and to raise Islam, the companions of the Prophet
(PBUH) migrated to Madinah leaving behind their homes, relatives, and valuables.
They kept sacrificing their wealth and lives in the path of Allah for eight years. As a
result, with the grace of Allah (SWT) they entered Makkah victoriously in the eighth
year of the Hijri Calendar.
It is first required to strive and struggle in the path of Allah, and then comes the
help of Allah. These verses were revealed After Prophet (PBUH) spent 23 years
of his life in the path of Allah.

Many Arab tribes were inclined towards Islam before the victory of Makkah.
But since the house of Allah was still in the possession of the disbelievers and
the polytheists of Makkah, their society was still in vacillation (in doubt),
whether Islam will emerge victorious or not.
But when Islam came to power in Makkah, the Arabs believed Islam to be a true
religion. And the people started entering Islam in multitudes. Many tribes came
and embraced Islam at the hands of the Prophet (PBUH).

It was a great opportunity for the Prophet (PBUH) and his companions. On such
an occasion they are being commanded to glorify Allah with his praise and ask
for His forgiveness instead of celebrating.
Hazrat Umme Salma (RA) says that after the revelation of this Surah the Prophet
would repeat this dua at all times:
ًہلل ىكاىحي ٍٔ يب اًى ٍى٘ه داف اہللً كة ً ىد ٍٍدًق اى ٍشخ ٍغ ً ي
ِف ا ى يش ٍت ى
And he said that he had been ordered for the same and recited ہلل اًذىا ىج َا ىء ىن ٍ يas an
ً َص ا
argument.
If Prophet (PBUH), despite being innocent and free from all sins, has been
ordered to ask for the forgiveness of Allah, then ordinary Muslims like us must
think up to what extent forgiveness should be sought from Allah (SWT).
Asking for forgiveness in abundance draws the mercy of Allah.
118
In this verse along with the command to ask for the forgiveness of Allah, the
Prophet (PBUH) has been given glad tidings that Allah is Oft-forgiving.
ىح ٌٔ ه: When it is used for Allah, it means that He is the most Forgiving. That

recites Surah Ikhlas daily two hundred times, his fifty years sins are removed except if
he has debt on him'' This Hadeeth has been narrated by Imam Tirmizi and Darmi.

virtue/superiority of Allah's speech (The holy Qur’an) is more than all other

Lesson: 18 (Part-A)
Surah Al- Kafiroon
When the Prophet (PBUH) started preaching Islam, the polytheists of Makkah
got determined to stop him from this task. But the Prophet (PBUH) continued
his work. In this regard, the chiefs of Makkah held a meeting with the Prophet
(PBUH) and they proposed to him a middle path between disbelief and belief
(Islam) that one year Muslims should worship their idols and the next year they
would worship Allah. On this occasion, Allah revealed this Surah and said that it
was impossible. Because there cannot be any compromise between truth and
falsehood. Neither the Muslims will visit your temples today nor will they in
future. And similarly, you will neither come to our mosques today nor in future.
Muslims are allowed to have a treaty of peace or other affairs with the
disbelievers while they remain firm in their religion. But any treaty that harms
Islam is not permissible at all.
Importance
The Prophet (PBUH) used to recite Surah Al- Kafiroon and Surah Al- Ikhlas in the
Sunnah Salah of Fajr and Maghrib.
The Prophet (PBUH) said to some of his companions, “If you recite this Surah
while going to bed, you will be declared free from polytheism".
(3) When ىٌاis used in the middle of the sentence, it gives the meaning of
'What/that/which/whose'. For example: و ىٌا ىیشى آ يء ا ً َّف ا ىIndeed, Allah does
ہلل ىیف ىٍؿ ي
what He wants.
Allah (SWT) said, “O Prophet! Tell the disbelievers that I do not worship the idols
which you worship. You have assumed thousands of Gods and prostrate before
them. I have only One God and will obey Him alone.”
اى ٍؾتي يد ىٌ ۤا ٰؾت ً يد ٍك ىف ىك ى ۤال اىْمُتْن
I worship (of) what Worshippers And nor are you (all)
اى ٍؾتي يد: فؿو ٌضارع1st َ ٰؾت ً ًدٍٗ ى, ٰؾت ً يد ٍك ىفPlural ىؾاة ً هد You:اىُ ٍ ىج
person singular Both of you:اىٍُخ ىيٍا
For example: و اىنٍ ي ي
َص ;اىف ىٍؿ ي You (all)ًاىٍُخي
126
Your worship is with polytheism. And the worship which has the slightest trace
of polytheism is unacceptable to Allah.
All religions other than Islam have one sort of polytheism.
ًٍُّ ٌَّا ىؾ ىت ٍدح ىؾاة ً هد اىُىا ىك ى ۤال
Of (what) you worshipped (be) a worshipper I And nor(will)
:ًفؿو ٌاضی ف ىىؿ ٍيخ ٍي
The previous verse implies the present tense and this verse implies the future tense.
It means that neither I worship your Gods now nor will I worship them in future. For
emphasis, the verses have been repeated.
ىٌ ۤا اى ٍؾتي يد ٰؾت ً يد ٍك ىف اىْمُتْن ىك ى ۤال
what I worship Worshippers (of) are you And nor
Looking at your present condition, it does not seem that you are going to worship the
One, Allah in future. Because I am calling you towards the oneness of Allah from the
swamp of disbelief and polytheism but contrary to it you call me to disbelief and
polytheism.
ًَ ًٍٗد ىك ل ً ىی ًٍ دًٍِٗيهي ًٍ ىلهي

In this verse, the outcome has been described, that you will be judged for following
your religion and I will be rewarded for abiding by my religion.
It was my duty to convey the message of Islam to you and warn you of the dire
consequences of disobedience. Now it is up to you whether you believe or disbelieve.

Question 1: Complete the table of the following فؿو ٌضارعand also write
the meaning of verbs in the 1st column:
ىی ٍصبًري He hits/will hit ْض يب
ً ٍ ىی
Introduction: When one of the sons of the Prophet (PBUH), Hazrat Qasim
died, the disbelievers of Makkah started taunting him and chiding him that now
he is اةتر. It means now his lineage will cease to flourish. And thus, in future,
there will be no one to carry forward his name and mission. Therefore, his
religion will exist only till he is alive (as the Mushrikeen thought).
Allah (SWT) consoles the Prophet (PBUH) in this Surah and responded to the
disbelievers by declaring that the name of the Prophet will keep on shining
with time. And the followers of the Prophet will be countless. His enemies will
be اةتر.
Allah (SWT) raised the rank of the Prophet to such an extent that in every
corner of the world, the name of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is mentioned
along with the glory of Allah (SWT) in the Azaan 5 times a day. Along with the
testification of the Oneness of Allah, the testimony of his Prophethood is also
proclaimed.
In comparison to his son, Allah (SWT) showered countless blessings upon the
Prophet (PBUH). The Qur’an is the greatest blessing. He was blessed with
Prophethood and wisdom. Allah (SWT) made him the chief of all Prophets as
well as the Seal of the Prophets.
Along with these blessings, the spring of Abundance (Al Kausar) will be awarded
to the Prophet in the Hereafter. It is described in Hadith that it is a spring from
which the Muslims who have followed the Straight Path will be served. And the
Prophet (PBUH) himself will serve the water of Al-Kausar to the believers
before they enter paradise. It will be whiter than milk, colder than ice and
sweeter than honey.
On that day, there will be a few Muslims standing in line to drink the water
whom the angels will drive away. The Prophet (PBUH) will say to the angels,
''Let them come. They too are my followers. They are Muslims''. The angels will
reply, "O Allah's Apostle, you do not know these people changed after you.
They did not follow your path. They created and added new things in the
religion on their own.”
َح
ٍ ىك اُ ٍ ى ى ً ىرةِّمى ِّف ىىصو
and sacrifice to your Lord So pray
Salah is an important pillar of Islam. Salah holds the greatest importance in
Islam. If Salah is established, then the religion is established. Salah is the
foundation of the Palace of one’s religion. For a Muslim who does not pray,
his palace has collapsed and no one knows when he will get crushed and die.
The second order given by Allah is to sacrifice. َُحis the technique by which
a camel is slaughtered. It is slaughtered with a dagger into the neck close to
the chest. But here the word is used in its general meaning. Whether “the
sacrifice” is by slaughtering an animal, controlling one’s desires or sacrificing
one's life or wealth for the sake of religion. Whatever sacrifices a man offers,
are included in the scope of this verse.
Even today the Muslim Ummah can enjoy all sorts of good if it establishes
Salah and offers sacrifices.
132
The meaning of ىشانًى هءis an ill-wisher enemy and the word اىةٍت ى ٍرis formed from the
word ىحبٍخ ًی هر, which means to cut off something. The Arabs would call an animal
whose tail is cut اىةٍت ى ٍر. And among men, the person who has no male child is called
اىةٍتىرbecause his lineage does not continue.
The polytheists of Makkah used this word for the Prophet (PBUH). Allah (SWT)
responded by declaring in this verse that their clans will cease to exist and the
followers of the Prophet will remain till doomsday.
If the Muslim Ummah keeps doing these two things which Allah (SWT)
commanded his Prophet (PBUH), that is Salah & Sacrifice, even today the ill-
wishers of the Ummah will be defeated and the Ummah will reach its zenith.
It is described in a Hadith that through the Qur’an Allah (SWT) raises one nation
and brings down another nation. The forefathers of this Ummah were the
followers of the Qur'an so they were honoured and respected everywhere in
the world. And today the Ummah has abandoned the Qur’an; therefore it is
being dishonoured and ignored everywhere. Earlier Muslims were followers of
Islam in the real sense, they were honoured in their times. And today the
Ummah is being disrespected as it is oblivious of the Qur’an.
ہاورمتوخاروہےئاترکرقآںوہرک وہزامہنںیمزعمزےھتاملسمںوہرک

The verb that requests or commands are called an 'Imperative Positive verb', فؿو
اٌر.
The verb that forbids or prohibits is called 'Imperative Negative verb'فؿو ُهى.
Like the verbs ٌاضیand ٌضارع, the imperative verb also has three variations.
The commanding and forbidding verbs are always formed from 2nd person ٌضارع
فؿو. As commands are always for the future and we mostly command the person
in front of us. So it is formed from the second-person verb.
(2) Since the first letter is َ شانso prefix ''اىف. If َ شانis followed by a letter with
Zabarًor Zerً, ِ اىفwill be read with Zerًِ in both the conditions. And if َشان
is followed by a letter with pesh اىفwill be read with peshً
(3) In singular form, put )ً( جزـon the last letter. And in plural replace''ن
with'اىف.

Surah Al-Qadr
The mortal age of the previous nations used to be hundreds of years. And the
average age of this nation is sixty years but Allah (SWT) blessed this Ummah with so
many unique blessings. On this very basis, our nation is called ‘the best of nations’.
Lailatul Qadr is one such unique blessing. Allah (SWT) declared that the worship done
on this night will be better than the worship of thousand months. And this night
gained a very lofty position due to the revelation of the Qur’an in it. When just one
night assumed such a high status, so imagine the position/importance of the Qur’an
al Kareem itself.
َّ َ اىؾئذي ةًاہللً ًٌ ى، ًًٍ٘ بً ٍص ًً اہللً اى َّر ٍخ ٍٰ ًَ اى َّرخ
ًً ٍ٘ اىش ٍ٘ ىعا ًف اى َّر ًج
According to the first meaning, it means that We have revealed the Qur'an on a
night of great & unimaginable importance.
According to the second meaning, it means that We have sent the Qur’an in the
night in which the decisions of fate are made and destiny is decided. It means
Allah (SWT) hands over the destined affairs of the whole year to the angels.
Then the concerned angels implement them at their appropriate time. As it has
been described in the fourth verse.
The revelation of the Qur’an in Lailatual Qadr means that Allah (SWT) sent the
entire Qur’an on this night from the preserved tablet of Allah ( )لوح محفوظto the
140
sky of this world. Then from there the archangel Jibraeel (A.S) would bring it to
the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) gradually in 23 years.
Another meaning is that the Qur’an was first revealed in Lailatul Qadr. The first
revelation of the Qur’an came to earth after sunset in a night of Ramadan.
Therefore, Allah (SWT) gave importance to the month of Ramadan and fasting
is obligatory during Ramadan. As it has been described in the verse no.182 of
Surah Al- Baqarah:
َّ ًس ىك ةى ِّی ِٰ وج ٌِّ ىَ ا ٍى يه ٰدم ىك ا ٍى يِفكىا ًفۚ فىٍ ٍَ ىشه ً ىد ًٌ ٍِهي ي

What is the night of decree i.e. Lailatul Qadr? Makes you know And what
Allah (SWT) adopted the way of putting forth a question, to describe & stress
the importance and glory of this night. He asks do you know/realise what are the
attributes and glory of this night? He then Himself answers:
اى ٍى ه
Thousand(ٰا ىال هؼplural): ف ( يش يه هplural):ىش ٍه هر
Month ٔر
It means that the reward of worshipping on this one night is more than that of a
thousand months.
The Prophet (PBUH) said: “Whosoever stands for worship with belief and
intention of reward in this night, all his previous sins are wiped off (pardoned)”
(Bukhari and Muslim)
The Prophet (PBUH) said, “Search for Lailatual Qadr on the odd nights of the
last ten days of Ramadan.” It means night of 21th, 23rd, 25th, 27th, 29th.
141
ركحmeans ركح االٌینthe angel Jibraeel(A.S). Since he is the chief angel, so he has
been mentioned separately.
On this night the angels descend from the skies to the earth in abundance. The
angels then pray for the people who are busy in worship.
You can understand this night, by considering the parliament of our country. On
a specified day the Annual Budget is presented in the parliament. And then the
concerned ministries implement it in their respective constituencies over the
period of that year. Likewise, it is a sort of annual convention of angels deputed
upon the administrative affairs of the earth. The angels are then handed over
important judgments and commands to be executed over the period of next year.
The angels then disperse with those judgments and implement them at their
appropriate time.

In today's lesson, you will learn about the three types of Nouns.
Subjective noun ( )اشً فاؾوObjective noun ( )اشً ٌفؿٔؿInfinitive noun ()ٌصدر
(1) The subjective noun from three lettered verb takes the form or structure of the
word (و
)فاؾ ً ه. It tells of the doer, as in English we say eater, drinker and writer.
(2) The objective noun ()اشً ٌفؿٔؿ: is made from the three-lettered verb it takes the
form or structure of the word (ٌفؿٔؿ
ه ). The noun which is affected by the action of the
doer or on which the work is done is called an objective noun ()اشً ٌفؿٔؿ.
Like the Subjective noun ()اشً فاؾو, we can make the plural of the Objective noun ًاش
ٌفؿٔؿ.
Also, we can make the feminine of an objective noun and then the feminine plural
from it. For example:
ىٌ ٍف يؿٔ ىال هت، ىٌ ٍف يؿ ٍٔ ىى هث ىٌ ٍف يؿ ٍٔىًی ىن، ىٌ ٍف يؿ ٍٔىي ٍٔ ىف ىٌ ٍف يؿ ٍٔ هؿ
ىٌ ٍفخ ٍئ ىخ ه، ىٌ ٍفخ ٍئ ىخ نث
ات ىٌ ٍفخ ٍئخ ًی ىن، ىٌ ٍفخئ يخ ٍٔ ىف ىٌ ٍفخ ٍئ هح
ىٌؼٍ يي ٍٔ ىٌ ه، ىٌؼٍ يي ٍٔ ىٌ هث
ات ىٌؼٍ يئ ًٌی ىن، ىٌؼٍ يئ يٌ ٍٔ ىف ىٌؼٍ يي ٍٔ هـ
In the same way, you can make from other verbs as well.
(3) ٌصدرthe infinitive noun/ Name of action is a noun that depicts the root meaning.
For example, in English, you say: To eat, to drink, to come, to go etc.
