Islam >>"TAUHEED" (MONOTHEISM)

Q 1: How many fundamental beliefs of Islaam are there?
A. There are three fundamental beliefs of Islaam i.e. Oneness of Allah (Monotheism), Prophethood and the Resurrection Day. The remaining beliefs are subsidiary to these fountain-heads of Islaam.

Q 2: What does Tauheed mean?
A. Tauheed means to believe with all heart and express by the tongue that Allah alone is the Creator of all the worlds and everything therein. He has no partner, neither in His Ownself, in His Attributes, in His Kingdom nor in His worship.

Q 3: What proof about Allah's Existence is there?
A. The Existence of Allah is brighter than the sun. The belief in His Existence is ingrained in everybody's nature which is evident from the fact that even deniers (of Allah) take ultimate recourse to God when afflicted by any distress and disease and spontaneously call God for help on death-bed.

Q 4: Which things of the world are reflective of Allah's Existence?
A. The sky, earth, stars, planets, humanbeings and animals and all other creatures are a cogent proof to convince one of an average sense that all these giant and tiny things have not come into existence at their own but have been created by any "most powerful authority" who is the real Creator (Allah). How convincing are the words of a bedouin who said: droppings of a camel lead one to acknowledge the existence of camel and footprints lead to the existence of a walker.

The creation of the earth, the sky, the sun, the moon and other planets their movement and function and alternation of the night with the day and vice versa in harmony and perfection are the potent proofs of the existence of One Creator i.e. Allah Who is All-powerful, Omnipotent, Supreme and All-wise. Nothing can go out of the control of this Mightiest Controller.

Q 5: What proofs in respect of Tauheed are there?
A. The first proof of the Oneness of God (Allah) is the human sense provided it is inclined to acknowledge the truth. Almost all the prominent scholars and philosophers believe in monotheism. The other proofs to this effect are adduced by the Holy Qur-aan.

Q 6: What Qur-aanic proof of monotheism is there?
A. There are many Qur-aanic verses which prove the Oneness of God (Allah). For example:
1. "Wa Ilaahukum Ilaahun Waahid. Laaa Ilaaha Illaa Huwar Rahmaa-nur-Raheem" (And your God is One God, there is no God but He, the Most Affectionate, the Most Merciful).
2. "Shahidal Laahu Annahu Laaa Ilaaha Illaa Hoo. Wai Malaaa-ikatu wa Ulul-'Ilme Qaaa-Imaam Bilqist" (There is the witness of Allah that there is none to be worshiped but He (Allah) alone and the angels and the men of learning are witness and His dispensation is based on justice).
3. "Lau Kana Feehimaa Aalihatun Illal Laahu Lafasadataa" (If there were other gods on the earth and in the sky than Allah, they would have ruined).
4. "Izal Lazahaba Kullu Uaahin Bimaa Khalaqa Wala'alaa Ba'duhum 'Alaa Ba'd. Subhaanal Laahe 'Ammaa Yasefoon" (If there were many gods, every god would have taken its creature and swooped on the other. Glorified is Allah above all that which they say).

Q 7: What are the cardinal points of Tauheed? A. The cardinal points of Tauheed are four:
1. Allah alone is Eternal.
2. Allah alone is the Creator of all the celestial and terrestrial worlds.
3. Allah alone is the Supreme, Final and Ultimate Sovereign, Master, Fashioner and Controller of the earth, the sky and everything therein.
4. Allah alone is worthy of worship.

Q 8: What is meant by "Waajib-ul-Wujood"?
A. Waajib-ul-Wujood is the entity which is Self-existent, Eternal and Which has no beginning and no end. He has created and creates everything but nobody created Him. This Sublime entity is of Allah alone.

Q 9: What does "Qadeem" mean?
A. Qadeem means eternally existing.

Q10: What is meant by "Baaqi"?
A. Baaqi means eternal in the end. It is also called" Abdi" which means ever-lasting(eternal). All these attributes are the proved ones for Allah.

Q11: What other things are eternal like the Sublime Person of Allah?
A. The attributes of Allah are also eternal in the beginning and in the end like His Sublime Person. All other things are "Haadis" (created ones). The one who considers anything excepting Allah and His Attributes, as eternal and is doubtful about any "Haadis" or considers soul or any other matter as eternal like Aryans, is undoubtedly an infidel and polytheist.

Q12: What does "Haadis" mean?
A. Haadis means a thing which had no existence but was created by anyone. It is also called "Mumkin" (possible to be created).

Q13: What are the Proper (Personal) and Attributive names of Allah?
A. The proper (personal) name of Allah is "Allah" and all other names which indicate His one or the other quality are attributive names.

Q14: How many names of Allah are there?
A. There are innumerable names of Allah. A saying of the Holy Prophet gives a glad tidings of paradise to the believer who memorises ninety-nine names of Allah.

Q15: Can Allah be remembered by other names besides these ones or not?
A. Remembering Allah by the names which are inconsistent with the Holy Qur-aan and Sunnah like "Sakhi" (generous) or "Rafiq" (companion) is not allowed. Similarly those names which have been fixed by other nations for Allah and carry bad meanings like "Raam" or "Parmaatama" are also forbidden.

Q16: Can humanbeings be named by the name of Allah?
A. Some names of Allah can be given to His servants like 'Alee, Rasheed, Kabeer etc: since such names are not taken to mean for man what they signify for Allah. However, such names should not be distorted i.e. to deliberately pronounce them incorrectly.

Islam >>SOME GOOD SUPPLICATIONS

1. It is commendable to recite this Du'aa (supplication) before entering the privy: "Allaa-humma Innee A'oozubika Minal-Khubusi wal-Khabaa-is" (O' Allah! I seek refuge with You from all male and female devils) and then put the left foot into it.

Allaa-hummaj-'Alnee Minit-tawwaabeena waj'Alnee Minal Mutatah-hareenal Lazeena Laa Khaufun 'Alaiehim walaa Hum Yahzanoon" (In the name of Allah, Who is the Most Great and all praise is due to Him. It is the grace of Allah that I am a follower of Islaam. O' Allah! Make me one of the repentants and pious servants who have no fear now nor will face any grief).

4. On coming out of bath room or Wudu place, recite this Du'aa: "Al-Hamdu Lillaahil Lazee Ja'alal-maaa-a Tahooran wal Islaama Nooran wa Qaa-idan wa Daleelan Ilal-Laahe wa Ilaa Jannaatin Na'eem. Alla-humma Hassin Farjee wa Tah-hir Qalbee wa Mah-his Zunoobee" (All praise is due to Allah, Who made the water purifier and made Islaam the light and guide to lead His servants to His path and to the paradise. O' Allah! Protect my private parts, purify my heart and forgive my sins).

Islam >>BEAUTIFUL SAYINGS OF THE HOLY PROPHET

Islam >>OF WELL

Q 1: Which things render the well impure?
A. The well will become impure if any filth or impurity falls into it or man or any animal whose blood flows, falls into and dies therein.

Q 2: Will the well remain pure or become impure in case an animal falls into it but is taken out alive?
A. There are different injunctions for different cases. For example, an animal (except pig) falls into a well and nobody is certain whether any filth was sticking to its body or not, in such situation the water of the well will be considered pure. However, twenty cans full of water will be drawn out and thrown away and if it was sure that the animal carried filth when fell, the well will be considered impure and all water will have to be drained out. In case its mouth touched the water, the injunction about its spittle and used or left-over water/food will be applicable to this case.

Q 3: What injunction is there for the carrion or the dead animal which falls or thrown into well?
A. The same injunction as to the animal which falls and dies in well applies to the carrion or dead animal.

Q 4: How to purify/cleanse a well if polluted?
A. There are three ways to purify/cleanse a well if polluted:
1. If a man or goat, dog or any animal (whose blood flows) falls into well and dies therein or a hen, cock, cat, rat, lizard (having flowing blood) and the like dies in a well and gets decomposed or an amputated tail of lizard or of rat falls into it or filth or any similar filthy and impure thing falls or is thrown in it, the well will become impure and all the water will have to be drained out to purify/cleanse it.
2. If a rat or mole, sparrow or the like falls into a well and dies therein, then twenty (preferably thirty) cans full of water will have to be drawn out and thrown away to purify/cleanse it.
3. In case of falling of a pigeon, hen, cat and the like into a well, forty to sixty cans full of water will have to be drawn out and thrown away for its purification.

Q 5: What about a shoe or ball if falls into a well?
A. If it was sure that the shoe or ball which fell or thrown into a well carried filth then all water will have to be drained out to purify it and in case it was not certain whether the said object carried filth or not then only twenty cans full of water will be drawn out and thrown away for its purification.

Q 6: What about an aquatic animal that dies in a well?
A. The water of a well will not become impure if any aquatic animal dies therein. However the water will become impure if an amphibian dies in a well like duck.

Q 7: When will the water of a polluted well be considered pure?
A. After having been drained out or drawn out the requisite quantity of water from well, the well will become pure. There is no need even to wash the walls of the well or the can and rope thereof through which the water is drawn from the well.

Q8: Will a polluted well become pure if the water is drained out bit by bit (not in one go)?
A. The requisite quantity of water has to be drawn out from the polluted well, whether in one go or bit by bit to purify the well. Doing the job at the same time is no precondition.

Q 9: What should be the size of can to draw out the water from a well?
A. The same can which is placed on well and used for drawing the water will be used for purifying it. No matter of which size it is.

Q10: If a carrion or dead animal is taken out from well and nobody knows when it fell or died, what injunction is there to this effect?
A. If nobody knows as to when the carrion or animal fell and died in the well, then the water of the well will be considered impure from the time it was seen/found. In case people knew about it and even then used the water for Wudu and Ghusl and offered Salaat, their worship so performed will be void.

Q11: How to purify/cleanse a well whose water does not cease but keeps oozing out?
A. The quantity of water of such well should be estimated and then draw out the estimated quantity regardless of the water that oozes out during the process.

Islam >>OF THE WATER

Q 1: With which water is the performance of Wudu and Ghusl lawful?
A. Wudu and Ghusl are lawful with the water of sea, river, canal, pond, stream, well, rain and ice and hails' water. The water which is lawful for Wudu is also lawful for Ghusl.

Q 2: What is meant by lake and big pond?
A. Those lakes and ponds which are ten arms in length and ten arms in width or whose total measurement (in length & width) is one hundred arms, are considered lake and big pond.

Q 3: With which water is the performance of Wudu and Ghusl unlawful?
A. The water squeezed out from any tree or fruit (like banana and sugarcane juice) is unlawful to be used for Wudu. Likewise that water which has become uncoloured or distasty or smelly due to mixing up of any pure thing or has gone thick and is no more considered water or that water which has been boiled with anything like vegetable or meat or tea or roses or the like or that water which has been coloured with Saffron or with some other substance to dye cloths, is not fit for Wudu and so is the case with the "Maa-e-Musta'mal" (already used water) which is also not fit for Wudu and Ghusl.

Q 4: What is "Maa-e-Musta'mal"?
A. "Maa-e-Musta'mal" is the water which falls from the parts of the body during Wudu or Ghusl or that water in which one who had no Wudu dipped his hand or tip of finger or even nail. Such water is fit for other use than Wudu and Ghusl.

Q 5: Which animals' used or left-over water is impure? A. The water used and left-over by pig, dog, lion, tiger, wolf, elephant, jackal and other beasts (animals) of prey is impure. Similarly, a cat killed a rat and ate it and immediately put its mouth into the water, it would become impure. If a drunkard immediately after drinking wine drinks water, this water also becomes impure.

Q 6: Which animals' used or left-over water is "Makrooh" (odious)?
A. The water used by birds of prey like eagle, falcon, hawk and kite etc. is "Makrooh"(odious) and so is the case with cat (if has not eaten rat before drinking water), rat, snake, lizard, cow which eats filthy stuff and hen which is given to filth.

Q 7: Whose used or left-over water is pure?
A. The water used (left-over) by man and animals and birds whose flesh is lawful for food, is pure. Likewise, the water used by the animals that live in water and the water used by horse is also pure.

Q 8: Is the water used or left-over by an ass or mule pure or not?
A. The water used or left-over by an ass or mule is dubious, since there is no certain injunction to this effect. Such water should not be used for Wudu or Ghusl if pure water is available. In case of nonavailability of pure water do Wudu or Ghusl, as the case may be, with this water and then perform "Ta-yammum" (dry ablution), otherwise Salaat will not be valid.

Q 9: What about "Makrooh" (odious) water?
A. Performance of Wudu and Ghusl with Makrooh (odious) water is Makrooh in case the pure water is available. However, its use, if pure water is not available is permitted under compulsion.

Q10: Whose sweat and spittle are impure and odious?
A. The animals whose used or left-over water/eatables are impure their sweat and spittle are also impure and whose used or left-over thing is pure, their sweat and spittle are also pure. And whose used or left-over water/food is Makrooh, their sweat and spittle are also Makrooh. However, cloths do not become impure if ass's or mule's sweat sticks to it in whatever quantity.

Q 11: When does the water of a big canal or pond become impure?
A. The water of a canal and big pond falls within the parameter of flowing water. Thus it does not become impure if any filth fell into it. However, if the filth renders the water uncoloured or distasty or smelly then it is impure.

Islam >>OF "GHUSL" (BATH)

Q 1: How many "Faraa-id" (obligatory acts) are there in Ghusl (bath)?
A. There are three obligatory acts in Ghusl. The Ghusl will not be valid if any Fard is left out.
1. To gargle and wash the mouth in such a way that the water reaches each and every part of the mouth.
2. To sniff up water into the nostrils. The water should reach the soft portion of the nostrils and no hair remains dry.
3. To wash the whole body from head to toe(sole) ensuring that the water flows on each and every part and limb of the body including the hairs.

Q 2: What is the Sunnat method of Ghusl?
A. The Sunnat method of Ghusl is (1) to wash both hands upto the wrists thrice (2) to wash the private parts whether any filth is there or not (3) to remove and wash if there is any filth on any part of the body (4) to perform Wudu like that of prayer omitting the washing of feet. Wash the feet if taking bath on a low-wooden-seat or on cemented floor (5) to anoint the water on the whole body with the hands like oil particularly in winter (6) to pour water on the right shoulder and then on the left three times (7) to pour water on the head and over the whole body thrice (8) after completing the Ghusl course get aside from the place where Ghusl was done (9) wash the feet if not washed earlier (10) not to face the Qiblah (11) to rub the hands on the whole body to wipe the water (12) to take bath at such place where the private parts of the body are not open to other's views if not possible then cover the body from the navel down to the knees (13) neither talk to anybody nor recite any supplication (14) to put on cloths soon after the Ghusl is over and (15) it is better for women to take bath sitting.

Q 3: Is any quantity of water fixed for Ghusl and Wudu?
A. How can a particular quantity of water be fixed for everybody. One is tall and the other is short. One has long hair on the head and even on the whole body and the other is bald and has no hair on the body. Everybody should use water according to his need. Extravagance in use of water is unlawful.

Q 4: What is he called who needs Ghusl?
A. He who needs bath (for whom bath becomes obligatory [Fard]) is called "Junbi" (polluted) and the "cause" due to which the Ghusl becomes obligatory is called "Janaabat"(pollution). [It may be caused by emission of semen during sleep or with lust or sexual intercourse between husband and wife with or without emission of sperm and (for women) caused by "Haiz" (menstruation) and "Nifaas" (post-delivery bleeding)].

Q 5: What is "Masnoon" method of taking bath in river or pond?
A. The "Masnoon"(as practised by the Holy Prophet) method of taking bath in flowing water is that one should stay in river or canal for some time all Sunnats of Ghusl will be fulfilled. Standing in rain will also serve the purpose as the raining water falls within the parameter of flowing water. If one takes bath in pond, he should move oneself thrice or change the place in pond three times. So is the case with Wudu. One should keep his parts of the body in flowing water for some time and in case of stagnant (clean) water move them or change the place.

Islam >>SIGNIFICANCE OF SALAAT(PRAYER)

Q 1: Which is the foremost pillar of Islaam?
A. You have already learnt about the pillars of Islaam in the previous chapter. After having embraced Islaam and corrected one's beliefs consistent with the true Ahle Sunnat creed the foremost duty which is imposed upon the believers is Salaat (prayer). The importance of Salaat can be gauged from the fact that all commands of Allah were delivered to the Holy Prophet on the earth but Salaat was gifted to him on the night of ascension(Meraj).

Q 2: What is Salaat(prayer)?
A. A specified and pure Islaamic way of worship which Allah Almighty taught to the Holy Prophet who in turn taught to his Ummah (community) is Salaat (prayer). By offering prayer Muslims prove their humblest obedience and obeisance to Allah Almighty and submit to His Highest Magnificence and Grandeur. The praying believer is dear to Allah provided he offers prayer heart and soul.

Q 3: What things are essential for prayer?
A. Somethings are "Sharaait" (conditions) for offering prayer and some are "Faraaid" (obligatory prerequisites) during performance of prayer. Prayer will not be valid unless these conditions and prerequisites are met.

Q 4: How many kinds of "conditional things" are there for prayer?
A. There are two kinds of conditional things for prayer i.e. (1). About prayer's becoming Waajib (essential) for one to offer (2)Soundness of prayer i.e. how will the prayer be valid.

Islam >>"TAHAARAH" (PURIFICATION): THE FIRST REQUISITE FOR PRAYER

Q 1: What does "Tahaarah" mean?
A. Tahaarah means that the body and cloths of the believer who intends to offer prayer must be free of filth/impurity and place should also be clean and pure.

Q 2: How many kinds of "Tahaarah" are there?
A. There are two kinds of Tahaarah i.e. minor purification and major purification. Minor
purification is "Wudu"(ablution) and major is "Ghusl" (bath).

The things which make ablution obligatory are called "Tahaarat-e-Sughraa"(impurities) and which make bath obligatory are called "Tahaarat-e-Kubra" (grave impurity i.e.filth).

Q 3: How many kinds of impurity are there?
A. Impurity is of two kinds i.e. invisible and visible.

Q 4: What is invisible impurity?
A. Invisible impurity is that impurity which can not be seen but according to Shariat it is impurity. For example, to be without ablution or without bath.

Q 5: What is the method of purifying oneself from invisible impurity?
A. If one needs ablution he should perform it, if needs bath should do it to purify himself from invisible impurity.

Q 6: What is visible impurity?
A. Visible impurity is filth which sticks to the body or cloth and is also seen like urine, faeces etc.

Q 7: How many kinds of visible impurity are there?
A. Visible impurity is of two kinds i.e. filth and impurity. There is strict injunction for filth and lenient injunction for impurity.

Q 8: What injunction is there for filth?
A. If filth sticks to the body or cloth(s) larger (more)than that of a "Dirham" (small silver coin), its removal and purification is Fard(obligatory). Without purification prayer will not be valid. If it is equivalent to "Dirham", its removal and purification is "Wajib" (essential). Offering of prayer with such filth will invalidate the prayer and it will have to be repeated after bath and washing of cloths as the case may be. In case the filth is less than "Dirham" its removal and purification is "Sunnat" (practice of the Holy Prophet). Offering of prayer in this condition will be in order but against the Sunnat. Hence it is desirable to repeat the prayer?

Q 9: To which thing is "Dirham" equivalent in Pakistan?
A. "Dirham" is equivalent to 4 1/2 "Mashah" in case the impurity is thick. A "Mashah" is equal in weight to 16 grains.

If the filth is in liquid form like urine or wine then the "Dirham" size will be equivalent to the depression of a palm i.e. silver rupee of Pakistan.

Q10: What injunction is there for impurity?
A. It is no matter if a portion of cloth or a limb of the body is polluted less than l/4th by impurity, but in case of equivalent to l/4th, the removal and washing of impurity is Wajib(essential) and if it is more than a quarter then to purify it is Fard obligatory) otherwise prayer will not be valid.

Q11: What injunction is there for filth if falls into any liquid edible thing?
A. Falling of filth (even a drop) irrespective of light or grave impurity into any liquid edible stuff will render the whole quantity impure.

Q12: Which things are filth?
A. These things are filth: Urine, faeces, flowing flood, pus, mouthful vomit, water comes from infected eye (s), dung and urine of those animals whose flesh is unlawful for food, dung of horse and all other lawful animals, droppings of hen and duck, every kind of urine, pork, bone, hairs, blood of lizard and chameleon, spittle of beasts and animals etc.
It is clarified that urine and vomit of suckling baby are also grave impurity.

Q13: Which things are impurity?
A. These things are impurity: Urine of those animals whose flesh is lawful for food and of horse and droppings of unlawful birds. Falling of filth into impurity will render all filthy.

Q14: What is the method of purifying the body or cloth from filth?
A. Wash thrice if the filth is in liquid form. Squeeze cloth every time and wash hands. Last (third) time after washing it Squeeze so well that there is left no drop of water therein. In case of thick filth like dung, blood, faeces etc. remove it well with water and then wash the cloth as many times as needed.

We all must do quran memorization and listen to quran online when ever we have time to stay in touch

The grudge of a people that Allah, the Exalted should reveal His grace to whom He wills

I take refuge with Allaah from the accursed devil.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Raheem: In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

Welcome to my blog and praise the Magnificent Lord as you enter: Allahu Akbar: Allah is the Greatest .

May the Peace and Blessings of Allah Azza wa Jal, our Lord Glorified and Praised be He, be upon our beloved  Prophet, his Family, and Companions.

The grudge of  a people that Allah, the Exalted should reveal His grace to whom He wills.

بِئْسَمَا اشْتَرَوْاْ بِهِ أَنفُسَهُمْ أَن يَكْفُرُواْ بِمَآ أنزَلَ اللَّهُ بَغْيًا أَن يُنَزِّلُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ عَلَى مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ فَبَآءُو بِغَضَبٍ عَلَى غَضَبٍ وَلِلْكَـفِرِينَ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ

(90. How bad is that for which they have sold their own selves, that they should disbelieve in that which Allah has revealed (the Qur’an), grudging that Allah should reveal of His grace unto whom He wills of His servants. So they have drawn on themselves wrath upon wrath. And for the disbelievers, there is disgracing torment.)

Surah 2 Al Baqarah Verse 90

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

The Jews were awaiting the Prophet’s coming, but They disbelieved in Him when He was sent.

Mujahid said,

(How bad is that for which they have sold their own selves), “The Jews sold the truth for falsehood and hid the truth about Muhammad .” As-Suddi said that the Ayah,

(How bad is that for which they have sold their own selves) means, “The Jews sold themselves.” meaning, what is worse is what they chose for themselves by disbelieving in what Allah revealed to Muhammad instead of believing, aiding and supporting him. This behavior of theirs is the result of their injustice, envy and hatred,

(grudging that Allah should reveal of His grace unto whom He wills of His servants). ” There is no envy worse than this. Therefore,

(So they have drawn on themselves wrath upon wrath). Ibn `Abbas commented on this Ayah, “Allah became angry with them because they ignored some of the Tawrah and disbelieved in the Prophet that He sent to them.” I (Ibn Kathir) say that the meaning of,

(And they drew on themselves) is that they deserved and acquired multiplied anger. Also, Abu Al-`Aliyah said, “Allah became angry with them, because of their disbelief in the Injil and `Isa and He became angry with them again, because they disbelieved in Muhammad and the Qur’an.” Similar was said by `Ikrimah and Qatadah. Allah said,

(And for the disbelievers, there is disgracing torment). Since their disbelief was a result of their transgression and envy, which was caused by arrogance, they were punished with disgrace and humiliation in this world and the Hereafter. Similarly, Allah said,

(Verily, those who scorn My worship (i.e. do not invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness) they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!”) (40:60) meaning, “Disgraced, degraded and humiliated.” Imam Ahmad narrated that `Amr bin Shu`ayb said that his father said that his grandfather said that the Prophet said,

(The arrogant people will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection in the size of ants, but in the shape of men. Everything shall be above them, because of the humiliation placed on them, until they enter a prison in Jahannam called `Bawlas’ where the fire will surround them from above. They shall drink from the puss of the people of the Fire.)

Important note to learn and Read Quran online
The Holy Quran is the word of Allah; it has been sent down to guide us and the guidance can online be gained through reading quran online. No other book can be like holy quran. As you come to the learn tajweed quran, Allah speaks to you and reading Arabic Quran is to hear Him, even to converse with Him, and to walk in His ways. So it is must for us as a Muslim to learn and do quran memorization by heart and the Quran tutor should teach the kids from quran qaida and then teaching quran online along with the quran tafseer and let the kids memorize quran so that we as Muslim could learn quran tajweed rules and then understand the quran tafseer  It is the encounter of life with the Life-giver. 'God - there is no god but He, the Ever-living, the Self-subsisting (by whom all subsist)  He has sent down upon you the Book with the Truth ... as a guidance unto mankind ...' (Al 'Imran 3: 2-3 learn quran recitation). So we should always remember the guidance of Allah and we should be listening to quran online along with obeying the commandments of Allah so let us join hands to lean the Koran and let our kids do quran memorization and learn the teaching of quran education online and apply them in there life there is kids quran lesson available online as well

Rebellion against the Prophets, peace be upon them.

May the Peace and Blessings of Allah Azza wa Jal, our Lord Glorified and Praised be He, be upon our beloved  Prophet, his Family, and Companions.

Rebellion against the Prophets, peace be upon them.

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ ءَامِنُواْ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ قَالُواْ نُؤْمِنُ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا وَيَكْفُرونَ بِمَا وَرَآءَهُ وَهُوَ الْحَقُّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا مَعَهُمْ قُلْ فَلِمَ تَقْتُلُونَ أَنبِيَآءَ اللَّهِ مِن قَبْلُ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

(91. And when it is said to them (the Jews), “Believe in what Allah has sent down,” they say, “We believe in what was sent down to us.” And they disbelieve in that which came after it, while it is the truth confirming what is with them. Say (O Muhammad to them): “Why then have you killed the Prophets of Allah aforetime, if you indeed have been believers”)

وَلَقَدْ جَآءَكُم مُّوسَى بِالْبَيِّنَـتِ ثُمَّ اتَّخَذْتُمُ الْعِجْلَ مِن بَعْدِهِ وَأَنتُمْ ظَـلِمُونَ

 (92. And indeed Musa came to you with clear proofs, yet you worshipped the calf after he left, and you were Zalimun.)

Surah 2 Al Baqarah Verse 91-92

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Although The Jews denied the Truth, they claimed to be Believers.

Allah said,

(And when it is said to them), meaning, the Jews and the People of the Book,

(Believe in what Allah has sent down) to Muhammad , believe in and follow him,

(They say, “We believe in what was sent down to us.”) meaning, it is enough for us to believe in what was revealed to us in the Tawrah and the Injil, and this is the path that we choose,

(And they disbelieve in that which came after it).

(while it is the truth confirming what is with them) meaning, while knowing that what was revealed to Muhammad ,

(it is the truth confirming what is with them). This means that since what was sent to Muhammad conforms to what was revealed to the People of the Book, then this fact constitutes a proof against them. Similarly, Allah said,

(Those to whom We gave the Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognize him (Muhammad ) as they recognize their sons) (2:146). Allah said next,

(“Why then have you killed the Prophets of Allah aforetime, if you indeed have been believers”).

This means, “If your claim that you believe in what was revealed to you is true, then why did you kill the Prophets who came to you affirming the Tawrah’s Law, although you knew they were true Prophets You killed them simply out of transgression, stubbornness and injustice with Allah’s Messengers. Therefore, you only follow your lusts, opinions and desires.” Similarly, Allah said,

(Is it that whenever there came to you a Messenger with what you yourselves desired not, you grew arrogant Some you disbelieved and some you killed.)

Also, As-Suddi said, “In this Ayah, Allah chastised the People of the Book,

(Say (O Muhammad to them): “Why then have you killed the Prophets of Allah aforetime, if you indeed have been believers”).”

(And indeed Musa came to you with clear proofs) meaning, with clear signs and clear proofs that he was the Messenger of Allah and that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah. The clear signs -or miracles- mentioned here are the flood, the locusts, the lice, the frogs, the blood, the staff and the hand. Musa’s miracles also include parting the sea, shading the Jews with clouds, the manna and quails, the gushing stone, etc.

(yet you worshipped the calf) meaning, as a deity instead of Allah, during the time of Musa. Allah’s statement,

(after he left) after Musa went to Mount Tur to speak to Allah. Similarly, Allah said,

(And the people of Musa made in his absence, out of their ornaments, the image of a calf (for worship). It had a sound (as if it was mooing)) (7:148).

(and you were Zalimun) meaning, you were unjust in this behavior of worshipping the calf, although you knew that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah. Similarly, Allah said,

(And when they regretted and saw that they had gone astray, they (repented and) said: “If our Lord have not mercy upon us and forgive us, we shall certainly be of the losers”) (7:149).

وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَـقَكُمْ وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ الطُّورَ خُذُواْ مَآ ءَاتَيْنَاكُم بِقُوَّةٍ وَاسْمَعُواْ قَالُواْ سَمِعْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا وَأُشْرِبُواْ فِى قُلُوبِهِمُ الْعِجْلَ بِكُفْرِهِمْ قُلْ بِئْسَمَا يَأْمُرُكُم بِهِ إِيمَـنُكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

(93. And (remember) when We took your covenant and We raised above you the Mount (saying), “Hold firmly to what We have given you and hear (Our Word).” They said, “We have heard and disobeyed.” And their hearts absorbed (the worship of) the calf because of their disbelief. Say: “Worst indeed is that which your faith enjoins on you if you are believers.”)

Surah 2 Al Baqarah Verse 93

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

The Jews rebel after Allah took Their Covenant and raised the Mountain above Their Heads.

Allah reminded the Jews of their errors, breaking His covenant, transgression and defiance, when He raised Mount Tur above them so that they would believe and agree to the terms of the covenant. Yet, they broke it soon afterwards,

(They said, “We have heard and disobeyed.”) We have mentioned the Tafsir of this subject before. `Abdur-Razzaq said that Ma`mar narrated that Qatadah said that,

(And their hearts absorbed (the worship of) the calf) means, “They absorbed its love, until its love resided in their hearts.” This is also the opinion of Abu Al-`Aliyah and Ar-Rabi` bin Anas. Allah’s statement,

(Say: “Worst indeed is that which your faith enjoins on you if you are believers.”) means, “Worse yet is the manner in which you behaved in the past and even now, disbelieving in Allah’s Ayat and defying the Prophets. You also disbelieved in Muhammad , which is the worst of your deeds and the harshest sin that you committed. You disbelieved in the Final Messenger and the master of all Prophets and Messengers, the one who was sent to all mankind. How can you then claim that you believe, while committing the evil of breaking Allah’s covenant, disbelieving in Allah’s Ayat and worshipping the calf instead of Allah”

The recompense for good and evil

I take refuge with Allaah, the Exalted, from the accursed devil.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Raheem: In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

Welcome to my blog and praise the Magnificent Lord as you enter: Allahu Akbar: Allah is the Greatest .

May the Peace and Blessings of Allah Azza wa Jal, our Lord Glorified and Praised be He, be upon our beloved  Prophet, his Family, and Companions.

The recompense for good and evil.

وَقَالُواْ لَن تَمَسَّنَا النَّارُ إِلاَّ أَيَّامًا مَّعْدُودَةً قُلْ أَتَّخَذْتُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ عَهْدًا فَلَن يُخْلِفَ اللَّهُ عَهْدَهُ أَمْ تَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ

(80. And they (Jews) say, “The Fire shall not touch us but for a few numbered days.” Say (O Muhammad to them): “Have you taken a covenant from Allah, so that Allah will not break His covenant Or is it that you say of Allah what you know not”)

 Surah 2 Al Baqarah Verse 80

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

The Jews hope They will only remain in the Fire for a Few Days.

Allah mentioned the claim of the Jews, that the Fire will only touch them for a few days, and then they will be saved from it. Allah refuted this claim by saying,

(Say (O Muhammad to them): “Have you taken a covenant from Allah’). Hence, the Ayah proclaims, `if you had a promise from Allah for that, then Allah will never break His promise. However, such promise never existed. Rather, what you say, about Allah, you have no knowledge of and you thus utter a lie about Him.’ Al-`Awfi said that Ibn `Abbas said about the Ayah,

(And they (Jews) say, “The Fire shall not touch us but for a few numbered days.”). “The Jews said, `The Fire will only touch us for forty days.”’ Others added that this was the period during which the Jews worshipped the calf.

(When Khaybar was conquered, a roasted poisoned sheep was presented to the Prophet as a gift (by the Jews). The Messenger of Allah ordered, `Assemble before me all the Jews who were here.’ The Jews were summoned and the Prophet said (to them), `Who is your father’ They replied, `So-and-so.’ He said, `You have lied; your father is so-and-so.’ They said, `You have uttered the truth.’ He said, `Will you now tell me the truth, if I ask you about something’ They replied, `Yes, O Abul-Qasim; and if we should tell a lie, you will know our lie as you have about our fathers.’ On that he asked, `Who are the people of the (Hell) Fire’ They said, `We shall remain in the (Hell) Fire for a short period, and after that you will replace us in it.’ The Prophet said, `May you be cursed and humiliated in it! By Allah, we shall never replace you in it.’ Then he asked, `Will you tell me the truth if I ask you a question’ They said, `Yes, O Abul-Qasim.’ He asked, `Have you poisoned this sheep’ They said, `Yes.’ He asked, `What made you do so’ They said, `We wanted to know if you were a liar, in which case we would get rid of you, and if you were a Prophet then the poison would not harm you.’) Imam Ahmad, Al-Bukhari and An-Nasa’i recorded similarly.

بَلَى مَن كَسَبَ سَيِّئَةً وَأَحَـطَتْ بِهِ خَطِيـَـتُهُ فَأُوْلَـئِكَ أَصْحَـبُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـلِدُونَ -

(81. Yes! Whosoever earns evil and his sin has surrounded him, they are dwellers of the Fire (i.e. Hell); they will dwell therein forever).

 وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَاتِ أُوْلَـئِكَ أَصْحَـبُ الْجَنَّةِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـلِدُونَ

(82. And those who believe and do righteous good deeds, they are dwellers of Paradise, they will dwell therein forever.)

Surah Al Baqarah Verse 81-82

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Allah says, the matter is not as you have wished and hoped it to be. Rather, whoever does an evil deed and abides purposefully in his error, coming on the Day of Resurrection with no good deeds, only evil deeds, then he will be among the people of the Fire.

(And those who believe and do righteous good deeds) meaning, “They believe in Allah and His Messenger and perform the good deeds that conform with the Islamic Law. They shall be among the people of Paradise.” Allah said in a similar statement,

(It will not be in accordance with your desires (Muslims), nor those of the People of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), whosoever works evil, will have the recompense thereof, and he will not find any protector or helper besides Allah. And whoever does righteous good deeds, male or female, and is a (true) believer ﴿in the Oneness of Allah (Muslim)﴾, such will enter Paradise and not the least injustice, even the size of a Naqira (speck on the back of a date stone), will be done to them) (4: 123-124).

Also, Abu Hurayrah, Abu Wa’il, `Ata’, and Al-Hasan said that,

(And his sin has surrounded him) means, “His Shirk (polytheism) has surrounded him.” Also, Al-A`mash reported from Abu Razin that Ar-Rabi` bin Khuthaym said,

(And his sin has surrounded him), “Whoever dies before repenting from his wrongs.” As-Suddi and Abu Razin said similarly. Abu Al-`Aliyah, Mujahid, Al-Hasan, Qatadah and Ar-Rabi` bin Anas said that,

(And his sin has surrounded him) refers to major sins. All of these statements carry similar meanings, and Allah knows best.

When Small Sins gather, They bring about Destruction.

Here we should mention the Hadith that Imam Ahmad recorded, in which `Abdullah bin Mas`ud said that the Messenger of Allah said,

(Beware of the belittled sins, because they gather on a person until they destroy him.)

He then said that the Messenger of Allah gave them an example,

(This is the example of people who set up camp on a flat land, and then their servants came. One of them collected some wood and another man collected some wood until they collected a great deal. They then started a fire and cooked what they put on it.)

Muhammad bin Ishaq reported that Ibn `Abbas said that,

(And those who believe and do righteous good deeds, they are dwellers of Paradise, they will dwell therein forever) “Whoever believes in what you (Jews) did not believe in and implements what you refrained from implementing of Muhammad’s religion, shall acquire Paradise for eternity. Allah stated that the recompense for good or evil works shall remain with its people for eternity. ”
