Quran Teaching And Important Considerations


2011

Teaching Quran is a noble act. It is also a Sunnah as the Prophet (PBUH) also used to teach Quran to Muslims. It has such high value in Islam because inculcating the knowledge of Islam in Muslim children and teaching them how to read and recite Quran will ultimately bear true Muslims. It also has high value because the next time a student reads Quran after you have taught him how to, you will also reap the fruits of his recitation of the Holy Quran.

However, Quran teaching also requires some important aspects to keep into consideration. Some of these things are mentioned below.

  1. The most important thing is that the teacher should tell the student why Quran reading is important and why is it so essential to respect the Quran. Allah says in the Quran,

“And when the Quran is recited, then listen to it and remain silent, that mercy may be shown to you.” Al-Araf [7:204]

  1. During the Quran teaching session, the tutors should inculcate the importance of mediation of the Quranic verses on the students. Allah says in the Quran,

“Do they not then meditate on the Quran? And if it were from any other than Allah, they would have found in it many a discrepancy.” An-Nisa [4:82]

  1. It is also the responsibility of the Quran teacher to tell the students that the message of Allah is sacred and divine and that no one can change the word of Allah. Allah says,

“We narrate to you the best of narratives, by Our revealing to you this Quran, though before this you were certainly one of those who did not know.” Yusuf [12:3]

Conclusion

Therefore, Quran teaching should be done while keeping in mind the considerations given above.

      Usually when we write the name of Allah, we use to attach the word “SWT” with it but I think there are only few people who know the meaning of this word. Here we need to know that why we use to write SWT with Allah. In actual this is the short form of Arabic word “Subhana-hu-wa-Ta’alaa” which means the most glorified and the most high. We have the opportunity to learn holy Quran online to get the knowledge of Islam and to know the one and only Allah. By this way Muslims glorify Allah while mentioning his name.

      There are some common misconceptions about Islam that many non- Muslims have with the name of Allah. They think that Muslims believe or worship to the different GOD as compare to the Christians and Jews that is totally wrong concept. The truth is that the GOD is only one and the name of the GOD is Allah who is the God of all. Allah is the simply the Arabic word for “GOD” and all worship one God but the concept of worship of Muslims, Jews, and Christians are different.

      The best proof of oneness of Allah is that there is no plural or have no gender of the word “Allah” on the other side if we use the word GOD instead of “Allah” then it indicates that there could be more than one God as it has the plural like Gods, Goddess etc. we mostly used to write of speak Allah Ta’ala which means “ to be worshiped”, Read holy Quran online so that you will come to know that the word “Allah” is the nutshell that is the pure monotheistic message of Islam.

      The Importance Of Praying In Islam

      People often ask why do we pray and what is the importance of praying. A simple answer to this question might be that individuals pray because they have seen their ancestors pray. This habit of praying is passed on from generation to generation. Others may also respond that we pray because we are obligated to pray according to our religious teachings and principles.

      Allah has given all human beings a freedom of choice. This means that they have the choice to pray or not to pray. This also means that they have the choice to follow the path of righteousness or that of wrongdoers.

      This is because Allah has created man as a superior creation. Human beings have the ability to think and rationalize. Even with bounded rationality, human beings can ponder on the things present in this world and based on this rationality, they can determine the right and wrong for themselves.

      However, Allah has also urged all Muslims to pray five times a day. It is an obligation towards Allah that Muslims have to fulfill. However, Allah has also provided signs for those who want to use their rationality and the ability to think to find out the truth. When you seek out the truth, you will definitely see that Allah is the All-Knower and He knows that praying and worshipping is for the benefit of human beings. They will be able to analyze its importance.

      Therefore, read the Holy Quran to find out the benefits and importance of praying in Islam.

      Islam is the religion that highly appreciates the hijab especially for women as it is the symbol of Muslim women and she should be proud of wearing hijab because it saves women from the evils of this world. When we do Quran Recitation we come to know the significance of hijab in every aspect of life. “O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e. screen themselves completely). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (al-Ahzab: 59). There are some lame excuses of some women who don’t want to wear hijab.

      • Most of the women reject the veil or hijab just on the base that she will lose her friends as no one among them wear hijab but short and miniskirts that is the symbol of vulgarity.
      • The other most common excuse now a days when women go out of their home to do job, they think that the veil or hijab will harm their job or career. They don’t want to take the risk of lose about their status, high salary, and community of colleagues who have the modern looks just for the sake of a piece of cloth.
      • If one’s family is not wearing hijab then the women have another excuse not to wear hijab. According to their view point it looks odd or strange if I wear hijab among them who wear stylish cloths.
      • They think that by wearing hijab they will look like old age that they can’t afford in this modern society but they don’t know the power of hell fire that is unbearable.
      • They have lack of inferiority complex that they will not get the attention of guys but they don’t know that it is the big sin that you give the chance to any non-mahram to look at you and Allah will ask you the reason when you will have no answer.

      Make the habit of Quran Recitation with proper understanding so that you will come to know the immense benefits of wearing hijab. Insha’Allah

      Taraweeh Prayer During Ramadan

      There are different kinds of worship that Allah almighty legislated for mankind so that we do not perform only one that lead us to get exhausted of it. There are some obligatory and some of them are recommended acts of worship that would boost the reward. Taraweeh is one of them in which we recite the Sarah’s or verses from the Quran and it is offered in the month of Ramadan as a night prayer. It is considered as greatest after obligatory prayers. The prophet (p.b.u.h) said: “The best prayer after the compulsory is the night prayer.” The night prayer (Taraweeh) in Ramadan has a particular deliberation dissimilar from any other time of the year.Quran

      It was called Taraweeh for the reason that the Companions of the prophet and the successors to the Companions used to construct an extensive standing in them and they would take rest after offering every four Rakaat. That is why it named Taraweeh (Rest prayer). (Four Rakaat are called Taraweeh).Imams Bukhari and Muslim reported that Muhammad (p.b.u.h) said: “Whoever presents elective prayers (like Taraweeh prayers) all through the nights of Ramadan, believing in Allah and seeking His rewards, will have his earlier sins forgiven.” Taraweeh is deemed from the Qi-yam of Ramadan so we should execute it. Muhammad (p.b.u.h) was the first who made praying the Taraweeh in congregation Sunnah, and then he left it fearing that it may become compulsory upon his Ummah.

      The scholars have diverse beliefs about the number of Rak’ahs of Taraweeh prayer along with the Witr. Some other said: forty-one Rak’ahs, some said: thirty-nine, some said: twenty-nine, some said: twenty-three, some said: nineteen, some said: Thirteen and some said: eleven. The strongest beliefs are those who said: eleven according to Imams Bukhari and Muslim that Ayesha (R.A.) was asked about the night prayer of the prophet (saws) in Ramadan, she replied: “He did not pray it more than eleven Rak’ahs.” Ramadan is just coming after one month so be prepare for it. Jazak Allah khair.
