Life is a Test Specially for those Who Believe
Everything in this life is a test specially for the Believers. Happiness, Joy, Sorrow, Having Wealth and Children, Loss of Wealth and Childern, Even Life and Death are all a test from Our Lord in order to expose and filter the liars and the True Believers. Be aware that the blessings of Wealth is a great test at the same time, He the Almighty may test you to see how arrogant, self-centered, selfish you become by giving you lots of Wealth or prove to be generous and giving back to the poor and needy. As it happens to us that when Allah blesses one of us with some wealth and we drive around in our BMWs and Mercedezes looking down at others..... And the lack of wealth or poverty could as well be a test to see whether you despair and get into the business of unlawful earnings and lose your faith...Or He the Almighty may test you with Sorrow and loss of a dear one....

SATAN'S MEETING: Read even if you're busy
SATAN'S MEETING:
(Read even if you're busy)
Satan called a worldwide convention of demons. In his opening address he said,
"We can't keep Muslims from going to Mosque."
"We can't keep them from reading their Quran and knowing the truth."
"We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their Allah and his messenger Muhammad."
"Once they gain that connection with Allah, our power over them is broken."
"So let them go to their Mosques; let them have their covered dish dinners, BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship with Allah and his messenger Muhammad."
"This is what I want you to do," said the devil:
"Distract them from gaining hold of their Allah and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!"
"How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.
"Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds," he answered.
"Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow."
"Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles."
"Keep them from spending time with their children."

An Introduction to ’Uloom al-Qur'ân
Abu Ammar Yasir al-Qadhi
Chapter 1 from "An Introduction to the Sciences of the Qur'ân"
I. Definition of ’Uloom al-Qur'ân
The knowledge of ’uloom al-Qu'rân, or 'The Sciences of the Qur'ân', deals with the knowledge of those sciences that have a direct bearing on the recitation, history, understanding and implementation of the Qur'ân. It is, therefore, a vast field of Islaamic scholarship, and one that if of primary importance.
Thus, for example, with regards to recitation, ’uloom al-Qu'rân deals with the science of pronunciation (tajweed), the different methodologies of reciting the Qur'ân (the qira'aat), the blessings of reciting the Qur'ân, and the etiquette of its recitation.
With regards to the history of the Qur'ân, ’uloom al-Qu'rân deals with the stages of revelation of the Qur'ân, the compilation of the Qur'ân, the art and history of writing the Qur'aanic script (rasm al-masaahif), and the preservation of the Qur'ân.

Arabic - The Language of the Qur’ân
Arabic - The Language of the Qur’ân
Shaykh Ahmed ibn ‘Abdullah al-Baatilee
The Praise is for Allâh, the one who has honoured us with the Qur’ân, and chosen for us the noblest of languages, and the peace and the blessings be upon the best one of the ones who articulated themselves in Arabic, and the most-preferred from the servants of Allâh, Our Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), and his family and his distinguished companions.
The Arabic language is the language of the Noble Qur’ân, and with it, the Qur’ân was revealed upon the seal of the Messengers, so attention to the Arabic language is to have attention to the Book of Allâh the Most High and the studying and the practising of it helps in the understanding of the Noble Book of Allâh and the narration of the master of the Prophets, Muhammad (Peace be upon him). It is also the language of our esteemed Islamic law (As-Sharee’ah), so when we defend it we are not proceeding on a path of nationalism or racism or culturalism, but in fact we are defending the language of our religion (way of life) and it is the cloak of our Islamic Civilisation.

Usage of “Fear” in the Qur’an
A few days ago, we had our weekly tafseer of Juz Amma class with br Nouman at the masjid and he briefly covered some different words used for fear in the Qur’an. I was very fascinated by these words so I decided to do a bit more research on their meanings and usage in the Qur’an and share what I’ve learned.
The Oxford dictionary defines fear as:
• noun 1 an unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, pain, or harm. 2 the likelihood of something unwelcome happening.
• verb 1 be afraid of. 2 (fear for) be anxious about. 3 archaic regard (God) with reverence and awe
We have a few words to describe this emotion in English such as: scared, anxiety, terror, panic, and bewilderment. All of these words carry the same meaning and are nearly synonymous to one another.
Arabic, on the other hand, has a considerable amount of words to describe fear; each with a different detail and connotation. The Qur’an alone has more than 10 words for fear!

Here is a brief analysis of some of the words used in the Qur’an for fear:
1-Khawf خوف
Khawf is a perceived danger and a fear of something that is physical. Khawf is the type of fear you’d feel if a dog began to chase you.
Allah ta’ala says:
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ
“But as for him who feared (khawf) standing before his Lord, and restrained himself from impure evil desires and lusts.” (79:40)
The Believer has a fear of something that is manifest and real, which is captured in this ayah by the use of khawf. Allah azza wa jal did not say in this ayah that the person fears their Lord, but fears the standing before his Lord, and as a result of this fear, he protected himself from lusts and desires.
On the other hand, Allah says about the disbelievers:
لَّا يَخَافُونَ الْآخِرَةَ
“They do not fear (khawf) the hereafter.” (74:53)

THE LANGUAGE OF ISLAM: The Importance of Learning Arabic

THE LANGUAGE OF ISLAM: The Importance of Learning Arabic
By Um Yaqoob
For those of us who were not raised as Muslims, those of us who reverted to Islam by choice, the first words we uttered as Muslims--indeed, the words which marked our passage into our faith--were in Arabic: ashshaduan la illaha illa Allah, wa ashshaduana Muhammadan rasul Allah. We were required not only to properly utter this phrase, but to thoroughly understand it.

Everyone Needs Guidance
Guide Us to the Straight PathWe recite Surah Fatihah in our 5 times daily prayer and in the Fifth Verse we ask Allah: Guide us to the Straight path. Everyone is asking for guidance five times a day, the righteous of us and the non-righteous of us. Even the Prophet Peace Be Upon him, was reciting Fatihah in his prayers asking for guidance.What is Guidance? Does everyone need Guidance? Why do we as Muslims have to ask for Guidance 5 times in a day? What about those who are already guided like prophets and other righteous people, why then they have to ask for guidance in the five times daily prayers?One of the best explanations of Hidayah or Guidance is given by Imam Raghib al-Isfahani that is: Hidayah signifies leading someone towards his destination, gently and kindly; while guidance in the real sense comes forth from Allah alone and has several degrees.First Degree of Guidance:The first degree of guidance is general and it covers everything in this whole creation, from smallest particles like atoms to minerals, plants, animals etc. It might seem a bit surprising to some that minerals and atoms need guidance but the Holy Book of Allah makes it clear that all form of existents in the universe possess some form of life, sensitivity and even consciousness and understanding in their own degree and according to their own sphere of existence.

Quranic Gem #2
Session Two: Wali vs Mawlaa
Bismillah walhamdulillah
During the second night of class with br Nouman, he shared with us a gem on the precision of the Qur’an.
Here it is:
Allah ta’ala says in suratul Baqarah ayah 257:
اللَّهُ وَلِيُّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يُخْرِجُهُمْ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ
‘Allah is the Wali of those who believe, He brings take them from the darknesses into the light.’
وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَوْلِيَاؤُهُمُ الطَّاغُوتُ يُخْرِجُونَهُمْ مِنَ النُّورِ إِلَى الظُّلُمَاتِ
‘and those who disblieve their Awliyaa’ are taghoot, they bring them out of the light to darknesses.’
Wali is a special type of friend, who expresses the will to help to you and support you. A wali is a friend that you turn to for help, protection and support. The wali is the primary in the relationship, they are the dominant party. Take for example, if a father is the wali to his son, then the father is the primary in the relationship.
Allah ta’ala says in the beginning of the ayah that He is the Wali for the believers. Those who disbelieve have Taghoot (anything and everything that is worshipped besides Allah) as their Awliyaa (plural of wali).
There are two comparisons taking place in this verse: firstly, the believers and those who disbelieve, and secondly, Allah azza wa jal and taghoot. Looking at the verse again, we see that there is a different arrangement for each comparison: when Allah ta’ala says He is the Wali of the believers, He comes first. But for those who disbelieve, their wali is mentioned last.
Why is the arrangment different?
Allah ta’ala is being ‘compared’ to taghoot, yet: laysa kamithlihi shayy, there is NOTHING like Him, NOTHING can be compared to Him. These taghoot do not deserve to be mentioned in the same place as Allah azza wa jal was mentioned. They do not deserve to be mentioned in even the same sentence.
Allah ta’ala says in Surat Muhammad ayah 11,
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ مَوْلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَأَنَّ الْكَافِرِينَ لَا مَوْلَىٰ لَهُمْ
‘That is because certainly Allah is the Mawlaa of those who believe, and indeed the disbelievers have no Mawlaa.’
Mawlaa is more than a Wali; a Mawlaa is someone who can protect you and actually does so–they are protecting you, while a Wali is someone who is willing to protect you.
When it came to Wali, both the believers and disbelievers had one, but when it comes to Mawlaa–someone who CAN protect you–they have no Mawlaa.
SubhanAllah.
Allahumma faqihnaa fid deen, O Allah grant us understanding of the deen, Ameen.

Gems of the Quran
Session One: Mercy and Forgiveness
by Amatullah
Bismillah
Alhamdulillah, I’ve been blessed to take the Arabic 201 class with Bayyinah Institute for the second time and mashaAllah br Nouman has this sunnah of taking 10 minutes at the end of each session to share a literary gem of the Qur’an.
InshaAllah I will be posting all nine that he will share with us; one for each day of the class session.
Here is tonight’s gem:
In Surat Saba, ayah two, Allah azza wa jal says:
يَعْلَمُ مَا يَلِجُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا وَمَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَمَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا ۚ وَهُوَ الرَّحِيمُ الْغَفُورُ
He knows that which goes into the earth and that which comes forth from it, and that which descend from the heaven and that which ascends to it. And He is Ar Raheem, Al Ghafoor.
In the Qur’an, Allah ta’ala mentions more than 70 times that He is Al Ghafoorur Raheem. This ayah above is the only instance in the whole Qur’an that the order is reversed: Ar Raheemul Ghafoor.
Why?
Imam ibnul Qayyim states that if you study ‘ilm (knowledge) in the Qur’an, you’ll find that Allah ta’ala mentions rahmah (mercy) with it. Here are some examples:
رَبَّنَا وَسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ رَّحْمَةً وَعِلْمًا
“Our Lord! You comprehend all things in mercy and knowledge“ (40:7)
The duaa of those well-grounded in knowledge (ar-raasikhoon) is:
رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً
(They say): “Our Lord! Let not our hearts deviate (from the truth) after You have guided us, and grant us mercy from You. Truly, You are the Bestower.”
Allah ta’ala begins this ayah from surah Saba with يَعْلَمُ, He knows, which as we’ll see below, has a direct connection with why Raheem is mentioned first.
When we examine Ghafoor in the Qur’an, or maghfirah (forgiveness), we notice that it is paired with humans. Here is an example:
Nuh alayhi salaam to his disbelieving nation said:
فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا
“I said (to them): Ask forgiveness from your Lord; Verily, He is Oft-Forgiving” (71:10)
In this ayah from surah Saba, do we see a direct address to humans? There is mention of the earth, what comes from the sky, what ascends…Humans are mentioned indirectly, and by examining this indirect address, we can see why Raheem is mentioned before Ghafoor.
How so?
يَعْلَمُ مَا يَلِجُ فِي الْأَرْضِ He knows that which goes into the earth: We place seeds into the earth, but furthermore, we will also go into the earth one day. We will need the rahmah (Mercy) of Ar Raheem when we go into the earth.
وَمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا And that which comes from it: The plant grows from the earth, but furthermore, we will one day be resurrected from the earth. We ask for and need the maghfirah (forgiveness) of Al Ghafoor when we come out of the earth.
وَمَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ and that which descends from the heavens: Rain is a rahmah (mercy) upon us, wahy (revelation) comes from the sky and is also a rahmah upon us, our rizq (provision) comes from the sky which is also a rahmah upon us.
وَمَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا and that which ascends to it (the sky): What ascends to the sky? Our duaa, our souls, and deeds. What do we need in all three of these instances from Allah ta’ala? Maghfirah (forgiveness), for our duaas and deeds to be accepted, and our souls to be forgiven.
Then Allah ta’ala ends the ayah with the subject on this gem: وَهُوَ الرَّحِيمُ الْغَفُورُ And He is the The Especially Merciful, the Most Forgiving.
Each part of this ayah connects with these two Names of Allah, in the order that they appear.
SubhanAllah.
The most common “criticsm” of the Qur’an is that the verses repeat too much and the ayaat are all the same in a lot of surahs. But when we pay attention to the Qur’an, when we truly ponder, then we see that there is actually little repitition. These are not ordinary words, they are Divine Words that have a profound wisdom.
In speech, there are two parts:
1- Content: what you say. The Qur’an has Divine content.
2-Style: how you say it. The Qur’an presents this content in a profound and miraculous style.
Humans are not capable of having both content and style constantly. Take for example the famous quotes we all know, “I have a dream” or “there is nothing to fear but fear itself”. These quotes came from speeches, but the only part we know or remember are those few words.
This Qur’an, these blessed words of Allah azza wa jal, constantly keeps both content and style and by pondering over these verses in a humble manner, we can taste a few drops of these wisdoms.
May Allah azza wa jal make us companions of this book, Ameen.
