COMPILER

Mohammad Shaikh is a public

speaker on Islam and

comparative religion. His

lectures are based on Qur’anic

textual inflection which serve to

remove numerous misconceptions,

present authentic Islamic beliefs and appeal for a

rational and objective analysis of the Qur’an based

on it's own internal evidence. Without taking political

or sectarian sides, he calls people to understand

and analyze what the Qur’an has to say about a

subject first and foremost, as it is the Qur’an which

is Islam’s principal authoritative text and Allah’s

word and revelation to humankind.

INTRODUCTION

The aim of this booklet is to introduce the reader to the topic from the Qur’an. It can be studied on its own and it also complements the video lecture of the same topic which accompanies it.

The booklet contains ayaat (Qura’nic verses) pertaining to the topic as discussed in the video lecture in a question and answer format. Questions are raised, and their answers are given by the ayaat. The ordering and numbering of the ayaat corresponds with those on the lecture which can be downloaded from the video lectures section of IIPC website: www.iipccanada.com

The Qura’nic references provided herein are not exhaustive but offer the core essence of the subject. The references that have been excluded in this publication can be researched using any good concordance and it will be discovered that the selection introduced in this publication will harmonize the entire sequence. It is hoped that Muslim readers willmemorize these ayaat along with their Arabic text and engage in Da’wah (propagation of Islam) to their friends and colleagues, and also be able to recite the same in their Salah (prayer). In this manner, the booklet becomesa useful tool for everyday Muslim practice - Insha’Allah.Translations of ayaat are by Mohammad Shaikh, any questions, comments or suggestions regarding the topic are welcomed via Email: info@iipccanada.com

AL-QASAS 28

AL-AHZAB 33

Surely He Who has ordained Al-Quran / The Reading on you definitely He will restore you to the place of habit. Say, my Lord knows wellwho comes with guidanceand who is in clear astraying.

85.

There is no difficulty on the prophet in whatever Allah has ordained for him. This is the sunnah / the practice of Allah in those who passed away from before. And the order of Allah is a decree determined.

38.

AL-AHZAB 33

SAL-ARAF 7

Those who deliver the messages of Allah and fear Him and they do not fear anyone except Allah. And Allah is enough in taking the account.

39.

35. O’ children of Adam ! Whenever the messengers come to you from you relating My ayats / signs over you,so whosoever takes guard and corrects then there will be no fear over themand they will not grieve.

43

AL-BAQARA 2 N

RQAT-TALAAQ 65

151.Like this We have send in you a messenger from your (self / psyche) who recites Our ayats / signs over you and he justifies you and gives you the knowledge of the book and the wisdom and gives you the knowledge of that you never knew.

11. A messenger who recites clear ayats / signs of Allah over you, for he takes out those who believe and do corrections from the darkness towards the light. And whoever believes with Allah and he does corrections, He will make him enter in the gardensbelow which the rivers flow,they will live forever and ever in it. Without doubt the most beautiful sustenance of Allah is for him.

AL-KAHAF 18 MT

TAL-ANFAL 8

Say for those who reject,if they stop, without doubt what is by gone He will forgive for them. And if they return then without doubt this was the sunnah / the practice of earlier people (that they do not believe with it) who have passed away.

38.

And what prevented mankindwhen the guidance came to them that they should have believe and they should have seek the forgiveness from their Lord except there come to them the sunnah / the practice of the earlier people (that they do not believe with it) or the punishment comes in front of them.

55.

PLGHAFIR 40

Their belief will never profit them when they saw Our misery / suffering / anguish / grief. Without doubt this is the sunnah / the practice of Allah that passed away in His servants. And there the rejecters were at loss.

So when they saw Our misery / suffering / anguish / griefthey said we believe with Allah, Him alone and we reject with what we associate with Him.

84.

PTAL-FATEH 48

23.

And if those who reject fought you definitely they will turn their backs, then they will neither find a protector nor a helper.

Without doubt this is the sunnah / the practice of Allah that passed away from before. And you will never find for the sunnah / the practice of Allah to change.

OQFATIR 35

OAAL-E-IMRAN 3

Seeking greatness in the earth and evil planning. And the evil planning does not surround except with his family. Then what they observe is nothing except the sunnah / the practice of the earlier people (that they do not believe with it) Then you will never find the sunnah / the practice of Allah to change and you will never find for the sunnah / the practice of Allah to transform.

43.
