It is a matter of common observation that with every new machine designed, there comes a manual that contains instructions about how to make the best use of the machine. You also need to read through and follow through that manual because you can get to know well about the machine, so that it can prove beneficial rather than harmful to a person.

Isn’t it ironic that complex of the mechanisms that is life, people try to take it so for granted? Don’t you think that to learn important things about life, there should be a manual? Don’t you feel convenient in using any device or mechanism that is packed with a user manual?

So, what about reading through a manual that comes with the most important thing ever, i.e. life? Well, if a common person who creates a machine furnishes us with a user manual, how would have The Mightiest of all, Allah Almighty left his creations in dismay without equipping them with a manual according to which they should live their lives?

In fact, God has bestowed humanity with the most exalted manual of all, as told by Allah Almighty Himself in these words:

Al-Araf [7:52] For We had certainly sent unto them a book, based on knowledge, which We explained in detail― a guide and a mercy to all who believe.

No matter what age we live in, equipping ourselves with the words of God is every single human being’s duty, and in today’s world, online Quran teaching can be the best assistance to us in doing so.

It is rather good for us that we live in such an information rich time where dissemination of all kinds of information is quite convenient a task, unlike earlier times. All one needs to do in this regard is to find a credible online Quran teaching setup through internet and try to understand what God wants from his creation, i.e. the human beings.

It is true that Koran is inerrant and the perfect word of God. There are many books that were sent for the guidance of a human being. It is said:

“It is not righteous that you turn your face towards East or West, although it is righteousness to believe in Allah and last day, and the Angels, and book and about the messengers in order to spend the substance out for his love, for his kin, for the orphans and for the needy, for wayfarer and for those who ask the ransom for slaves to be steadfast in prayer, and practicing charity, to fullfil the contracts that are made, the need is to be firm  and patient in pain and suffering, Throughout all periods of panic. There is such a truth of Allah fearing. Online Quran Teaching helps us in understanding about the core concepts of Islam.

The messengers believe in what he has been provided with from the God. Just like the men of faith do. Each of these men believe in Allah, his angels, his books and his apostles. There is no distinction being made between one and another of his apostles.

The books that were sent down to mankind are:

1-Torah: This is the book, which was granted to Moses and Aaron for judgement; it contains messages for all those who would do right.

2-Zabur: Zabur was the book which was bestowed on David.

3-Jesus-the Injil: Injil was bestowed to Jesus the son of Mary, which confirms the law that had arrived before him, we also sent him the Gospel, thus providing guidance and light and confirmation of law that had come before him. Thus there is a guidance and admonition to those people who fear Allah.

Shaming The Muslims Out Of Islam

Today you will come to know about shaming the Muslims out of Islam with the reference of MA Khan’s book “Islamic Jihad”. I’ll recommend all of you to read the book for two reasons: 1) the high quality of his scholarship, 2) an emerge historical trend. MA Khan belongs to the family of foundationalist school of scholarship and has worked a lot on Islamic doctrine of jihad. Historic pattern is the excellent part of his book and overall it is superb intellectual weapon.

The main targeted countries in his book are Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, and Somalia etc. every Muslim believe that Islam is the complete code of life but in west the scene is bit different.
if we talk about UK, the Muslim population is ten time then the rest, it shows that in the middle century Muslims will be the largest religion group in the whole world. As the mentality of western Muslims is changing radically then in mid century it will be an unavoidable reality for the rest of the nations.

Sharia means the civilized society and Islamic sharia is the best to lead the world but unfortunately Muslims in west are exploiting the Islamic sharia and norms of Islam that is a shameful act. As Muslims are becoming well educated so they can do Quran recitation and can understand the words of Allah. It is not difficult because now Quran is available not just in Arabic language but in different other languages. The war for peace will end when Muslims in true meaning understand the Quran and follow Muhammad (pbuh). May Allah shower his countless blessings upon all mankind. Ameen

Manners And Rules Of Quran Recitation

For Quran Recitation there are nine rules that are known as Tajweed rules. Out of these nine rules, the second rule tells about the physical state of a Quran Reciter, while the last seven rules are about its pronunciation and grammar. We focus on the first rule of Tajweed which is about the reciter’s manner and attitude. Some attributes need to be developed by the Quran reciters according to the first rule.

Out of all the rules, the first and most important one is that the reciter of Quran must have this belief in his mind that Quran is not the word of man; in fact, it is the speech of Allah. This speech of Allah is in the Arabic language. One point is clear that Quran is only in Arabic, it cannot be found in any other language. This also means that we can only pray in Arabic language. Although the translation of Quran might be found in English, French, Swahili and Urdu, but we cannot prey in these languages. The Original text of Allah is in Arabic language and anything else can be termed as the translation of the Quran.

The second important point that needs to keep in mind is that the reader of Quran must be free and clear of all thoughts prevailing in his mind before reading the Quran. The reader must completely focus on the words, their meanings and on it implications. In addition, the reciter must be of humble nature and he should keep in mind that every message of Quran is for himself.

Even the most brilliant students can also face problems in understanding a specific course. This is because not all individuals have similar capabilities and also that a single individual cannot perform well in all courses because of the limitations of the mind and learning of the individual.

To deal with the problems of children in comprehending a single course, parents always look for other options and means

that can help their children score better on these courses as well. Other options include hiring a private home tutor or online tutors that may help the stud

ent earn a good grade.

Similarly, parents are also worried about the

Quran education of their child and are looking for home tutors or online Quran teachers that can help the child gain basic Islamic knowledge. They d

o not want to send their child to a Quran school because of several reasons such as transport problems or the learning problem on part of the student.

Additionally, parents also believe that by hiring an online tutor or a Quran teacher who is willing to teach the child at home, they can improve the attention given to the child and hence bring about a change in the learning of the child.

Quran Teaching And Important Considerations

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.

Meaning Of The Word “Allah (SWT)”

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.

Few Justifications By Women Who Don’t Sport The Hijab

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

Salat And Some Health Benefits Of Performing Salat

Salah is the Arabic word is an obligatory worship for Muslim. Before performing the prayer, an ablution is needed, and with the cleansing of the body we are helping ourselves to be away from germs and virus, consequently a Muslim that offer his/her  five  daily prayers on the proper time is keeping himself/herself  away from the doctor.

We should offer prayer on prescribed time, as from specific time of the day our Allah is guiding us to be on time and have a good time management. When we are performing prayer, we are actually knocking at the door of Allah, and whoever is offering prayer, Allah will open its door for him/her, He also gives us immense reward for praying Salat.

There are several benefits of offering Salat to our health which I would like to share from this post. Online Quran learning courses also tell you about the benefits of Salah.

Performing prayer is an excellent type of exercise to stop indigestion. Through offering Takbir at the beginning of salat, it increases the flow of blood towards torso.

When we perform sajdah in salat, we touch the ground with our forehead, and this increases fresh supply of blood to our brain.

salat is an excellent source of exercise for our heart as well, which is our an important organ of the body. According to a Hadith of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW),”There is an organ in the body, when it is healthy, the whole body is healthy, and when this is sick, the entire body becomes sick”. It is the heart.
