Key msgs in Para 1 - Quraan







Quraan is the Holy book of Muslims that was sent by Allah  to His prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through His angel Gabra'el. Quraan is organized in 30 parts, each part is called a "Seeparah" (in short form Para).

The video above gives the summary of concepts discussed in 1st Seeparah or Para. The scholar is Doctor Malik Ghulam Murtaza.

Below I am listing the key directives and topics discussed in this 1st seeparah of Quraan.

1. Read aao-zu-billah e min ash shaitan nir rajeem before reading Quran so that one enters Allah's refuge from shaitan. Shaitan's most powerful weapon is to keep the muslims away from Quraan and if he is unable to do this, then he would try that ppl do not understand Quraan and if even he is unable to do this, his third measure would be to keep muslims away from practicing Islam or acting upon Allah's directives. Therefore Allah has recommended to read this dua before starting to read Quraan .

2. After aao-zu-bilah, we read Bismilah hir rehman nir rahim. In this dua we recall two properties of Allah, Al Rehman and Al Raheem. Al Rehman means one that holds treasures of Rehmat and al Rahim means one who is always giving away these vast treasures of Rehmat. 

3. alhumdulilah e rab il alameen - tamam tareefein Allah ke liye hein jo tamam jehanon ka palne wala hai. Allah ne hamein paida kiya...pur paida kar ke chor nahin diya...wohi har life ko paal raha hai...




"Our aim while reading Quraan should be to check "ourselves", "our own" actions instead of using the teachings of Islam to judge others. "
