How to Enrich Your Life With the Qur’an




By Sadaf Farooqi

Freelance Writer — Pakistan


Reciting

Reciting the Qur'an with correct tajweed (rules of recitation) fills the heart with solace, the soul with peace and the house with blessings. It makes you feel close to Allah, and alleviates any sorrow or grief due to its immediate stress-relieving effects. Daily recitation of a few pages of the Qur'an, especially after Fajr prayer, is the best remedy for keeping oneself on the path of righteousness tied to the rope of Allah.


`Abdullah Ibn `Amr Ibn Al-`As (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:


"The one who is devoted to the Qur'an will be told on the Day of Resurrection: ‘Recite and ascend (in ranks) as you used to recite when you were in the first life (dunia). Your rank will be at the last verse (ayah) you recite.’” (Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi)

Surah Al-Waqiah:

Al-Waqiah is an Arabic name that means Inevitable, Event or Revolution. It is the 56th Surah of the Quran, and it was revealed in Makkah.

The total number of verses in this surah are 96 and it starts with "Izaa waqa'atil Waqiah" which means "when the inevitable cometh to pass".

Like with many other surahs, Sura Al-Waqia also has benefits from recitation:

Abdullah ibn Mas'ud reported that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said,

"Whoever recites surah al Waqiah at night would never encounter poverty" [Ibn as-Sunni 620, Bayhaqi]

The Prophet Muhammad (salAllahu alayhi wasalam)also said:

"Surah al Waqiah is the Surah of Wealth, so recite it and teach it to your children" [Ibn Asakir]

67 : Surah Al-Mulk (The Dominion)

Sheikh Mishary Rashid Alafasy recites Surah Al-Mulk (The Dominion),
chapter 67 of the Glorious Qur'an.




Surat ul-Mulk (Arabic: سورة الملك‎) - (The Sovereignty, Control; literally 'the kingdom') is the 67th surah (chapter) of the Qur'an, comprising 30 ayat. The name of this sura refers to Malik al Mulk (Arabic: مالك الملك‎) 'The Owner of All Sovereignty', literally 'King of the realm', one of the 99 Names of Allah.

The surah preaches the infinite power of Allah and states that those who reject warnings of Prophets will be companions of the Blazing Fire, meaning they will be punished in Hell.


The Benefits of Surah al Mulk :

1. The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him said, There is a surah in the Quran which is only thirty verses. It defended whoevere recited it , until it puts him into paradise i.e.Surah al Mulk[Fath al Qadir 5/257, Sahihul Jamiea 1/680, Tabrani inAl-Awsat & Ibn Mardawaith]

2. The Prophet peace be upon him said, Surah al Mulk is the protector from the torment of the grave[Sahihul Jamiea 1/680, Hakim 2/498 & Nasai]

3. Jabir (radiAllahu anhu) said it was the custom of the Prophet sallallahu alaihe wasallam not to go to sleep until he had read Tabarakalladhi Biyadihil Mulk and Alif Laam Meem Tanzeel. [Ahmad, Tirmidhi and Darami]

4. Anas (radiAllahu anhu) reported Rasulullah (sallallahu alaiyhi wasalam) as saying, There is a Surah which will plead for its reciter to enter paradise. (Tabarakalladhi Biyadihil Mulk).[Tabrani]

Little Note on Learn Tajweed

Have yet to find the rest of the videos of this particular lessons, to date only managed to upload 16 lessons.

However, I've found another set of lessons, simple and interesting too, still gathering as many videos as possible, insyaAllah will upload it here soon.

In the meantime, will continue to compile Islamic articles in the other blog (http://cheqna-in-school.blogspot.com/) and at the same time, trying to gather info on solat in a different blog http://letmepray.blogspot.com/ (a new blog ~ still in early stage)

Tajweed ~ Lesson 16





Maddah (Prolongation)

Maddah sign indicates to prolong (stretch) the Madd letters Alif waw and ya .

There are several kind of Maddah, Duration of stretching (2 ½ to 5 length of haarakah) and it depends on adjacent letters in a word.

The detail rules are essential for advanced learner only and should be master from a qualified teacher.

Tajweed ~ Lesson 15




Mushaddah (w) (Tashdid)

A Tashdid sign that appears over a letter represents two of the same letter (Double consonant).

The first letter having sukoon and the second letter having its short vowel.

A letter having Tashdid sign is called 'Mushaddad' and each of the two letters must be distinctly pronounced twice

Tajweed ~ Lesson 14




[Silent letters]

As a general rule, the letters having no sign on them (empty letters) must be treated as silent letters. Since they do not produce any sound of their own therefore, they should be overlooked.

These silent letters generally occur when long vowel letters (Madd) Alif, Waw and Ya are involved.

Exception to the silent letter rule is Maddah Alif refer to lesson 8.


[Special rule for letter Hamza or Alif]

When there is a letter Hamza or (Alif) with sukoon, it should be pronounced clearly and sharply.

When a vowel sign appears over or under the letter Alif , it is in fact letter Hamza.

In the copies of Middle Eastern print of Holy Quran, the letter Hamza is shown as a tiny Hamza riding over or under the letter Alif.

Tajweed ~ Lesson 13




Leen letters (SOFT letters)

When there is a letter with Fathah 'a' and next letter is ya saakin , it produces 'ay' sound (some cases 'ai'). This is called 'Ya Leen' or 'soft Ya'

When there is a letter with Fathah 'a' and the next letter is waw (with or without saakin)it produces 'ow' sound ('au' some cases).

This is called waw Leen or 'soft waw'

Tajweed - Lesson 12




In Arabic, a vowel is called “Harakah.”

A letter having a vowel sign is called “Mutarrikh”.

If a letter is without a vowel sign, it is called “Saakin” (resting)

Where a sign appears over a letter which point out a “Saakin” letter, it is called a “Sukoon”(Jazm)

And where there is a leter with any short vowel sign and the next letter has a “sukoon” sign, then both letters will jointly produse a single (syllable) uninterrupted sound

Tajweed - Lesson 11







The miniature letter Alif placed over a letter is an alternative method to writing a letter having Fathah and letter Alif - thus will render the same sound as in lesson 8
Length: two measures of haarakah.

In the copies of Middle Eastern PRINTS of Holy Quraan, in addition to a miniature Alif a Fathah is also written.
-----------------------------------

When standing kasrah is placed below a letter it is an alternative method of writing a Kasrah and ya saakin, thus it will render the same sound as lesson 10.

Length: two measures of haarakah.
------------------------------------

When an upside down dammah is placed above a letter is an alternative method to write Dammah and letter waw saakin thus and will render the same sound as in lesson 9.

Length: two measures of haarakah

Tuesday 21 April 2009

Tajweed - Lesson 10





When a letter has a Kasrah and the next letter is Yaa saakin, the sound of letters having Kasrah and yaa saakin is lengthened by two measures of haarakah. 'ii'

Tajweed - Lesson 9





When a letter has a Dammah and next letter is waw saakin , then the sound of letters having Dammah and waw saakin is lengthened by two measures of haarakah. 'uu'

Tajweed - Lesson 8





As a general rule, when a letter with a Fathah and next letter is Alif, then the sound of Fathah and Alif is stretched by two measures of harakah. 'aa'

Note: In this lesson, letter Alif is a true Alif (Madd).

If anytime the letter Alif appers with vowels or sukoon, this is not a true Alif but it is letter Hamza.

Letter Alif appears always empty and never the first letter in a word, It may come with Madd sign and always comes after another letter, whereas the letter Hamza may come as the first letter in a word.

Arabic Alphabet

The Arabic Alphabet consists of 29 letters 1,Arabic is written from right to left (in horizontal lines), but numerals are written from left to right.

The twenty-nine letters of the Arabic Alphabet are pronounced from approximately seventeen
different points.

It is necessary that one should pronounce each Arabic letter correctly from its point of articulation.

Several Arabic letters originates from the throat (Guttural letters) unfamiliar to an English speaker. For example letter and have no equivalent sound in the English alphabet.

Furthermore the vastness of the Arabic language, any small mistake in pronunciation of a letter or word may change the meaning of that word. For example, the word 'Qalb' (with q) means
heart, if read 'Kalb' (with k), it will mean a dog.
