The Relation Between Quran and Arabic Language
I. What was the value of Arabic language during the ancient time?
Arabic language is the oldest language that has the same character,
letters, vocabulary strength, and roots from ancient time to today.
Arabic language has combined other small languages since the sixth
century.
Five prophets were sent to their tribes using the Arabic language:
Hud, Salih, Shuab, Ismail(Ishmael), and Muhammad (peace be upon
them all).
The language of Adam according to Quran was also Arabic, Chapter
2 Verse 31:
"And He taught Adam the names— all of them. Then He showed
them to the angels and said, ‘Inform Me of the names of these, if you
are truthful.’" Allah mentioned this sentence in direct quotation in
Arabic language.
II. Why Quran was revealed in Arabic?
Allah says in Chapter 41 Verse 44:
"And if We had made it a non-Arabic Quran, they would have said,
‘Why are the verses not explained in detail in our language? Is it a
foreign recitation and an Arab messenger?’ Say, ‘It is a guidance
and cure for those who believe.’ And those who do not believe— in
their ears is deafness, and it is upon them blindness. Those are
being called from a distant place."
Arab nation was a nation that expresses itself by language, and this
is why the language was more important than anything else in their
life. It was strong, big, fully completed with all the meanings and
phrases demanded for the communications.
Arabic language was the tool which carried the Arabic culture since
the old era until the approach of Islam, when Arabic became the
most important language in the Islamic world.

III. What are the specialties of Arabic language?
The first specialty is that this language is protected forever from
being changed or extinct, and this is what Allah says in Chapter 15
Verse 9:
"Indeed, it is We who sent down the Quran and indeed, We will be
its guardian."
Arabic has all what is needed for a language to command in
grammar, rhetoric, syntax and morphology; it is flexible with various
forms in which a slight change can convey a completely different yet
more accurate meaning.
Arabs started to spread Islam in all over the world using the Arabic
language— the language of Quran. Consequently, the main
languages of many tribes and nations were changed from their
mother tongues into Arabic language in order to understand Quran
and follow the rules of Islam.
When many of the non-Arabs became Muslims, they learned Arabic
language and started to teach this language to others. Thus all of
their sciences were recorded in Arabic; in a period of time, Arabic
language was the biggest in the world.
According to Quran and Hadith, Arabic language is the language
that will be used on judgment day and in paradise as well. Why not?
And it is the language that Allah chose to be the language of His last,
protected, and eternal holly book—Quran.

The Approaches of Reading, Understanding, and Memorizing Quran
I. The revelation of Quran
A. Muhammad in the cave
The prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) used to go to one cave in Mecca
and spend long time there. It was few years before the approaching of Islam, and
the name of that cave is Hiraa.
B. The reaction of Muhammad to the revelation
One day while the prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) was in the cave, one
angel came to him, hugged him tightly, and said, "Read!" But the prophet
Muhammad(peace be upon him) replied, "I can't read." The angel asked three times
and the prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) replied all the same, as he was
illiterate.
C. The first verses revealed
Therefore the angel[Gabriel] said, "Recite in the name of your Lord, who
created everything. He created man from a micro creature. Recite, and
remember your Lord is the most generous, who taught by the pen, taught man
what he knew not." (Quran, Chapter 96 Verses 1~5)
II. The characteristics of Quran
When people ask, “What is Quran? Is it poetry, prose or something else?” The
answer is that it is completely different from any literary genre or written form.
Quran is the words of Allah, revealed to His prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him)
via the archangel Gabriel(peace be upon him), to which nothing similar can be made
by anyone in the world.
It serves the purpose of worshiping, starting with the chapter of al-Fatihah and
ended by the chapter of al-Nas. Allah says in Chapter 17 Verse 88, "Say, ‘If all
mankind and jinn gather together in order to produce the like of this Quran, they
can never make anything alike, even if they assist each other.’"
III. How to read Quran?
A. To read Quran, we should make ourselves ready for it. First, we should be
physically clean. Allah says in Chapter 56 Verses 77~80, "Indeed, it is a
noble Quran. It is registered, confirmed, and protected; no one should
touch it except the purified. It is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds."
2012 Courses of Islamic Studies — Learning Arabic Language through Quran by Omar Ayash

B. To read Quran, we should start by saying  uthu Billahi Minashaytani
Arragim, which means "I’m asking Allah to protect me from Satan, the devil
who’s got stoned." Allah says in Chapter 16 Verse 98, "So when you recite
Quran, first seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the expelled from His mercy.”
C. When we read Quran, we should always remember that Quran is from
Allah and that He revealed it to His messenger to teach all of us how to
worship, live, depend on Him, and reach His satisfaction and paradise.
IV. How to understand Quran?
A. Academically
Learn Arabic > Study the reason of the revelation of each verse of Quran >
Study the explanation of Quran from Hadith and the books of explanation
B. Generally
To understand Quran, we need to have a clear mind, heart, and feeling, in
order to be able to feel Quran at the same time while we are reading.
We should feel that this Quran is revealed to us same as it was to the prophet
Muhammad(peace be upon him).
V. How to memorize Quran?
The first step to memorize Quran is to read with concentration, submission,
feeling, and faith.
We should keep in mind, while we are trying to memorize Quran, that this is
our manual for a perfect life now and the hereafter.
We should keep in mind that memorizing Quran means understanding and
following what we are memorizing. We should follow all the commands in Quran
and keep ourselves away from the things Allah forbids us.
We should ask Allah always to keep the Quran in our hearts, brains, and
actions in our daily life.
We should keep reading Quran and rememorizing it regularly all the time. The
prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) said, "The one who memorizes Quran by
heart is same as a person who has a camel. As long as he is taking care of this
camel and keep an eye on it, it will remain there; once he stops watching it, it will
run away."
We should recite more Quran during our prayers, so we will keep what we
memorize.

Better read Quran from one book only. It is better to have your own Quran
and always recite from the same one. As the brain and the eyes will work on
keeping this shape, the memorization will be easier.
Better keep on listening to a clear recitation of Quran by a knowledgeable
Imam, so the ear will help as well in memorizing better and faster.
VI. Conclusion
If we listen to Quran, understand it well, use it in our daily life for everything,
and follow what is written on it whether we like it or not, we are following the
perfect method of living, because it is the method of our Creator, Allah.
And it is enough for us to know that following Quran and living according to it
will make us safe, happy, and peaceful in this life and the hereafter. Allah says in
Chapter 17 Verse 9, "Indeed, this Quran guides everyone to reach his best in this
life and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will
have a great reward in the hereafter."

The opening chapter of the Quran (al-Fatihah)
I. Introduction Al-Fatihah consists of seven verses. Our prayer will not be accepted if we don’t recite Al-Fatihah in each Rakâāt. The meaning of Al-Fatihah is “the starter,” “the first step,” or “the opener.” Al-Fatihah also has other names such as “the mother of Qurān” and so on. If we understand, practice, feel, and work according to Al-Fatihah, we will find that life is only a station on the way to our terminal. Bismi Āllahi Ālraḧmani Ālraḧiym * Ālḧamdulilahi Rabbi Ālâālamiyn * Ālraḧmani Ālraḧiym * Maāliki Yawmi Ālddiyn * Īyaāka Naâbudu Wa Īyaāka Nastaîyn * Īhdinaā Ālŝiraāḏa Ālmustaqiym * Ŝiraāḏa Ālaṯhiyna Ānâmta Âlayhim * Gayri Ālmagḓuwbi  layhim Wala Ālḓḓaālliyn *
II. Bismi Āllahi Ālraḧmani Ālraḧiym
In the name of Āllah, the only mercy sender in this life no matter upon which nation, color, belief, or race, and the only mercy sender in the hereafter upon only those who believe in Him and follow His religion in this life. When we mention the name of Āllah before we start doing anything, this makes us remember: Āllah is watching us in everything we do, supporting us in all things we do, and He will accept and bless the things we are doing. We should understand that everything we do in this life should be under the intention that we are doing it totally for Āllah, not for any benefits in this life.
III. Ālḧamdulilahi Rabbi Ālâālamiyn We start the first step of asking by thanking Āllah, and we have to know we are thanking the one who is giving without asking for any reward, helping without waiting for any payment. Āllah says in one Hadith, “I created you all. You have to worship Me, and I have to provide you with the needs to live. If you don’t obey or worship Me, I will not stop providing the needs for you to live.” Āllah has taught us in Al-Fatihah the way to thank Him; it is by saying Ālḧamdulilahi. This way of thanking is only for Āllah, so we mustn’t use it towards anyone else but Him. Subsequently we praise Āllah for His being the lord of everything, the one who needs nothing from us, the most powerful controlling both inside and outside of the universe― Rabbi Ālâālamiyn. When we say this verse while praying, Āllah will reply us by saying, “My worshipper is thanking me the way I like.”
IV. Ālraḧmani Ālraḧiym Āllah is merciful because He is arranging all the needs to live even for those disbelieving in Him and those fighting against Him. This is why He is Ālraḧmani. He is Ālraḧmani because He clearly knows each single thing happening in the sky, heaven, earth, universe and everywhere and makes it in a perfect way for living, though some of His creatures insist on disbelieving in Him. He is Ālraḧiym because in the hereafter He is going to send His mercy upon believers, though they made mistakes during their lifetime. He is Ālraḧiym because
2012 Courses of Islamic Studies — Learning Arabic Language through Quran by Omar Ayash
7
He will forgive a lot of things in the hereafter only because He loves to see all of His creatures in the paradise unless they insist on going to hell. He is Ālraḧiym because He will not be satisfied when the mankind and the jinns disbelieve in Him but pleased when we all believe in Him and win His paradise. When we say this verse in praying, Āllah will say, “My worshipper is praising Me.”
V. Maāliki Yawmi Ālddiyn The fourth thing we should appreciate from Āllah is His being the only judge in the hereafter, the only master who knows and controls everything. As He is omniscient and omnipresent, no need for Him to consult anyone to know what happened in our lives. And as He is omnipotent, He is able to bring justice to everyone from anyone. When we say this verse while praying, Āllah will reply us by saying, “My worshipper is glorifying Me.”
VI. Īyaāka Naâbudu Wa Īyaāka Nastaîyn After thanking, we move to the second step of asking Āllah, which is reminding ourselves and telling Āllah that we are worshipping Him and Him only― Īyaāka Naâbudu, and that we are depending on Him and Him only― Wa Īyaāka Nastaîyn. Āllah says in one Hadith, “I am the best partner of the highest level. If you share My partnership with another, I will leave My share to the other and never accept any deeds with this kind of sharing.” We should work according to the commands of Āllah and obey Him totally. Then He will accept our deeds and arrange the best for us in this life, which will enable us to win the paradise in the hereafter. When we say this verse while praying, Āllah will reply us by saying, “This is between Me and My worshipper, and he will get what he is asking Me for.”
VII. Īhdinaā Ālŝiraāḏa Ālmustaqiym If we earn the real guidance from Āllah, we get everything we need in this life to win the eternal paradise in the hereafter. We have to make sure that all we should ask of Āllah in this life is His guiding us till we reach His paradise― Īhdinaā Ālŝiraāḏa Ālmustaqiym. If we know these few things, we will never ask for more than the guidance from Āllah to the straight way to paradise. When we say this verse while praying, Āllah will reply us by saying, “This is for My worshipper and he will get it.”
VIII. Ŝiraāḏa Ālaṯhiyna Ānâmta Âlayhim The straight way we’ve been asking for is the way those who earned the real blessing from Āllah have chosen―Ŝiraāḏa Ālaṯhiyna Ānâmta Âlayhim. And we have to remember that the real blessing from Āllah is to gain His satisfaction with our deeds, which will definitely lead us to paradise.
IX. Gayri Ālmagḓuwbi Âlayhim Wala Ālḓḓaālliyn The other feature of this straight way is that it is absolutely not the way chosen by those who caused the anger of Āllah, nor by those who refused the guidance of Āllah while having it but going astray.

Chapter 2 Verse 255: Ayat al-Kursi

Ālâṱhiym
I. Introduction
This verse is the basic of the monotheism in Islam. It has over ten of the
names of Allah. The prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) mentioned a lot of
Hadith about the great value of this verse.
II. The meaning and understanding
Āllahu Laā Īlaha Īllaā Huwa Ālḧayu Ālqayyuwm
Allah is mentioning that He is the only real God, so he starts by saying, “No
God,” and then He said, “but Me.” It means that the only real God is Allah, and
that if anyone disagrees, this one should reject this fact and should go to Allah's
throne to complain. Allah says in Chapter 17 Verse 42, "Say, O Muhammad, ‘If
there have been with Him other Gods, as they say, then they would have gone to
the throne and taken it.’"
Allah was never born and will never die and He is eternal.
Allah is here for us anytime, He is the one taking care of everyone and
everything, and He will never be away for any reason.
Laā taāĥuṯhuhu Sinaton Walaā Nawm
Allah never feels sleepy and never even feels He needs a nap. He is always
awake.

Llahu Maāfiy Ālssamaāwaāti Wamaāfiy Ālārḓi
He is the owner of all what is on the earth, in the sky, and between them.
Man Ṯhaā Āllaṯhiy Yashfaû Îndahu Yillaā Biïṯhnih
Allah allows all His creatures to live in this life and gain according to their work
no matter they believe or disbelieve in Him. But on the judgment day, the
disbelievers will never be safe because they didn’t believe in Allah during their
lifetime. And no one will be able to protect them there, nor will anyone be able to
ask the forgiveness of Allah for them, unless Allah allows this one to talk.
Yaâlamu Ma Bayna Āydiyhim Wamaā Ĥalfahom
Allah knows the past and the future, the present and the hidden things.
Walaā Yuḧiḏuwna Bishayän Min Îlmihi Īllaā Bimaā Shaāä
Allah knows everything, and all the knowledge we have here is only a small
part of His knowledge. All the knowledge we have been gaining is from Allah
since He is the one who is offering knowledge to everyone. This is why we
should always seek the knowledge from Allah only.
Wasiâ Kursiiyuhu Ālssamaāwaāti Wa Ālārḓi
The meaning of Kursi is “chair,” but when we are talking about the Kursi in this
verse, it means “Allah's ability, and power.”
Walaā Yaüwduhu Ḧifṱhuhuma Wahuwa Ālâliyu Ālâṱhiym
Allah is taking care of all the earth and all the sky; all what is between them,
under them, and above them will never make Allah tired, as He is the highest and
the greatest.
III. Conclusion
The God who deserves being worshipped must have this ability and must be
able to do all of these things. And Allah is telling us that He is the One, and no
one is able to challenge Him in any of these things.
It is fair enough to worship the God who possesses the things mentioned here
in this verse.

When the earth is shaken with its final and biggest earthquake, the earth will

Whatever we do, we either win or lose, help or be helped, hurt or be hurt,
succeed or fail. All is written and recorded, and one day we will get the result of
all of these. Either hell forever or paradise forever, we are the decision makers.

I. Introduction
Monopoly in Islam is not allowed because it destroys the society and the
relations between each other.
In this chapter, Allah is telling us what will happen to those who collect money
in this life without thinking of the hereafter, of helping others, and of lawful and
unlawful ways of collecting this money.
II. Wailon Li Kulli Humazaten Lumazah
Wail is a valley in the hell, and this valley is especially for those who are
criticizing others by words and actions and following the exposures of others
without ever thinking of their own mistakes and faults.

They also collect money and do all kinds of monopoly only for the purpose of
having more money.

Because this fire is from Allah, it is so strong that it reaches the hearts of
those who are in it; it keeps on punishing the people according to their deeds and
intentions.

This fire will never be ceased by anyone.
X. Fi  maden Mumaddadah
They are tied up tightly in this hell and will never be able to go out or run away.

and never appreciate what Allah has given them.
Do you think there is anything in this life deserving us being punished in such
a strong way?
