مقدمة علم القراءات

مقدمة في علم التجويد 1

نبذة عن تاريخ علم التجويد

أول من جمع هذا العلم في كتاب هو الإمام العظيم أبو عبيد القاسم بن سلام في القرن الثالث الهجري فقد ألف " كتاب القراءات " ، وقيل أن أول من ألف وجمع القراءات هو حفص بن عمر الدوري ، واشتهر في القرن الرابع الهجري الحافظ أبو بكر بن مجاهد البغدادي وهو أول من ألف في القراءات السبعة المشهورة ، وتوفي سنة 324 من الهجرة ، وفي القرن الخامس اشتهر الحافظ الإمام أبو عمرو عثمان بن سعيد الداني مؤلف كتاب ( التيسير) في القراءات السبع والذي صار عمدة القراء وله تصانيف كثيرة في هذا الفن وغيره.

واشتهر في هذا العلم أيضاً الإمام مكي بن أبي طالب القيسي القيرواني وقد ألف كتبًا لا تعد ولا تحصى في القراءات وعلوم القرآن.

وفي القرن السادس الهجري اشتهر شيخ هذا الفن الذي تسابق العلماء إلى لاميته وانكبوا عليها انكباب الفراش على النور تلك هي الشاطبية التي أسماها " حرز الأماني ووجه التهاني " نظم فيها القراءات السبعة المتواترة في ألف ومائة وثلاثة وسبعين بيتًا (1173).

ذاك هو أبو القاسم بن فيرة بن خلف بن أحمد الرعيني الشاطبي الأندلسي ، توفي سنة 590 من الهجرة ، وبعده ما زالت العلماء في هذا الفن تترى في كل عصر وقرن حاملين لواء القرآن الكريم آخذين بزمام علومه قراءة وتطبيقاً ، صارفين الأعمار لخدمته تصنيفاً وتحقيقاً ، حتى قيض الله عز وجل له إمام المحققين وشيخ المقرئين محمد بن الجزري الشافعي فتتلمذ عليه خلق لا يحصون وألف كتباً كثيرة أشهرها (النشر في القراءات العشر) ونظم في التجويد (المقدمة فيما على قارئه أن يعلمه).





تعريف علم التجويد في اللغة

علم التجويد لغة : هو التحسين ، يقال جودت الشيء أي حسنته ، وأيضاً ، تجويد الشيء في لغة العرب إحكامه وإتقانه ، يقال : فلان جود الشيء أي حسنه وأجاده إذا أحكم صنعه وأتقن وضعه وبلغ منه الغاية في الإحسان والكمال .





تعريف التجويد في الاصطلاح

أما تعريف التجويد في الاصطلاح عند أئمة الأداء فهو قسمان :

الأول : معرفة القواعد والضوابط التي وضعها علماء التجويد ، وهذا القسم يسمى بالتجويد العلمي أو النظري ، وحكمه بالنسبة لعامة المسلمين مندوب ، وحكمه بالنسبة لأهل العلم فهو واجب كفائي ، فإن قامت به طائفة منهم سقط الإثم والحرج عن باقيهم ، وإن لم يقم به طائفة منهم من التعلم والتعليم أثموا جميعاً .

الثاني : فيسمى بالتجويد العملي أو التطبيقي ، وهو إخراج كل حرف من مخرجه دون تحريف أو تغيير.





حكم تعليم التجويد

أما حكم علم التجويد فهو فرض كفاية بالنسبة لعامة المسلمين ، وفرض عين بالنسبة لرجال الدين من العلماء والقراء ، حتى إن بعض العلماء يرى أن تطبيقه في قراءة حديث رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حسن جيد .

حكم العمل بعلم التجويد شرعاً :

أما حكم العمل بعلم التجويد شرعاً فهو واجب عيني على كل قارئ مكلف يقرأ القرآن كله أو بعضه لقوله تعالى { ورتل القرآن ترتيلاً } (سورة المزمل الآية:4) ، وقد جاء عن علي كرم الله وجهه في قوله تعالى { ورتل القرآن ترتيلاً } (سورة المزمل الآية:4) أنه قال : الترتيل هو تجويد الحروف ، ومعرفة الوقوف ، وفي الآية لم يقتصر سبحانه على الأمر بالفعل ، حتى أكده بالمصدر اهتماما به وتعظيماً لشأنه .

ومن السنة أيضاً قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم "اقرءوا القرآن بلحون العرب وأصواتها ، وإياكم ولحون أهل الفسق والكبائر، فإنه سيجيء أقوام من بعدي يرجعون القرآن ترجيع الغناء والرهبانية والنوح ، لا يجاوز حناجرهم ، مفتونة قلوبهم وقلوب من يعجبهم شأنهم "رواه مالك والنسائي والبيهقي والطبراني .

فقوله صلى الله عليه وسلم : "لا يجاوز حناجرهم "أي لا يقبل ولا يرتفع لأن من قرأ القرآن على غير ما أنزل الله تعالى ، ولم يراع فيه ما أجمع عليه ، فقراءته ليست قرآناً وتبطل به الصلاة ، كما قرره ابن حجر في الفتاوى وغيره ، قال شيخ الإسلام بن تيمية :

"والمراد بالذين لا يجاوز حناجرهم الذين لا يتدبرونه ولا يعملون به ، ومن العمل به تجويده وقراءته على الصفة المتلقاة من الحضرة النبوية "

وقال الشيخ برهان الدين القلقيلي بعد أن ذكر الحديث السابق قال : "وقد صح أن النبي _صلى الله عليه وسلم _ سَمى قارئ القرآن بغير تجويد فاسقاً "وهو مذهب الإمام الشافعي رضي الله عنه .

أما الإجماع : فقد أجمعت الأمة على وجوب التجويد من زمن النبي _صلى الله عليه وسلم _ إلى زماننا ولم يُختلف فيه عند أحد منهم ، ودليل الإجماع من أقوى الحجج .





أقوال أهل العلم في علم التجويد

فمن الأقوال الهامة في شأن التجويد :

يقول الإمام الجزري "من لم يجود القرآن آثم ".

قال بعض شراح الجزرية في هذا القول أن من لم يجود القرآن معاقب على ترك التجويد كذاب على الله ورسوله داخل في حيز قوله تعالى { ويوم القيامة ترى الذين كذبوا على الله وجوههم مسودة }(الزمر الآية -60) ، وقوله عليه الصلاة والسلام : "من كذب علي متعمداً فليتبوأ مقعده من النار ". وقد أفتى الإمام أبو الخير محمد بن الجزري أن من استأجر شخصاً ليقرئه القرآن أو ليقرأ له ختمة ، فأقرأه القرآن ، أو قرأ له ختمة بغير تجويد لا يستحق الأجرة ، ومن حلف أن القرآن بغير تجويد ليس قرأناً لم يحنث.

وقال بعضهم : لا تصح صلاة قارئ مجيد خلف أمي لا يجيد .





أهمية التلقي في تعليم القرآن وأدائه

إن للتلقي الأهمية العظمى في تعليم القرآن وأدائه ، لأن هناك كلمات قرآنية يختلف نطقها عن رسمها نحو "أولأذبحنه "كما في سورة النمل {لأُعَذِّبَنَّهُ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا أَوْ لأَذْبَحَنَّهُ أَوْ لَيَأْتِيَنِي بِسُلْطَانٍ مُبِينٍ} (سورة النمل الآية -21)

وكلمة "بأييدٍ "كما في قوله تعالى {وَالسَّمَاءَ بَنَيْنَاهَا بِأَيْيدٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ} (الذاريات الآية-47) ؛ وأيضاً لأن التلقي سنة وعمل من أعمال رسول الله _ صلى الله عليه وسلم _ ، وبالتلقي يتحقق الإسناد الذي هو ركن من أركان القراءة الثلاثة .





أركان القراءة

1 ـ صحة الإسناد .

2 ـ موافقة الرسم العثماني ولو احتمالاً .

3 ـ موافقة القراءة لوجه من وجوه النحو .

وقال الإمام الجزري

وكل ما وافق وجه نحوي وكان للرسم احتمالا يحوي

وصح إسنادا هو القرآن فتلك الثلاثة الأركان





التجويد علم موضوع

أما موضوعه فهو الكلمات القرآنية من حيث إعطاء الحرف حقه ومستحقه .

ويعتبر علم التجويد من أهم العلوم التي توافرت على خدمة كتاب الله _ عز وجل_ بل هو أولاها وأشرفها .





واضع علم التجويد

أما واضعه من الناحية العملية فهو رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ومن ناحية وضع قواعده فهو الخليل بن أحمد الفراهيدي وغيره من أئمة القراء والتابعين وأتباعهم رضي الله عنهم .

ولنعلم أن الله _تعالى _ أنزل القرآن الكريم من اللوح المحفوظ إلى جبريل _عليه السلام _على هذه الكيفية من التحرير والتجويد ، وأن جبريل _عليه السلام علمه النبي _ صلى الله عليه وسلم _ على هذه الكيفية وتعلمه منه الصحابة _ رضى الله عنهم _ثم تعلمه منهم التابعون ؛ حتى نقل إلينا جيلاً بعد جيل ، بطريق التواتر الذي يفيد القطع واليقين .وهذا يدل على أن هذا العلم توقيفي ، فليس لأحد أن يتحول عنه قيد أنملة ، ومن فعل فهو معتد أثيم .





فائدة علم التجويد وغايته

لعلم التجويد فوائد كثيرة من أهمها حسن الأداء وجودة التلاوة واللذان يوصلان إلى سعادتي الدنيا والآخرة ، وصون اللسان عن اللحن في كلام الله _عز وجل _ واللحن : هو الميل عن الصواب ، وهو الخطأ في القرآن الكريم .

Seventeen tips for Parents to Present Ramadan in your Child's Class:

Seventeen tips for Parents to Present Ramadan in your Child's Class:

Parents talking to their children's principals, teachers and classmates in public schools about Ramadan are of immense importance. By doing so, Muslim children feel less awkward identifying themselves as Muslims, since someone in an authority position has discussed what they believe what they do. As a result, the children often feel more confident and secure.

Well, Muslim children need to feel the importance of their own celebrations and holidays, especially since we are living in a non-Muslim environment where kids don't see fancy lights and decorations, commercial hoopla or consistent reminders of the "holiday season" during Ramadan.

And of course, talking to your child's class about Ramadan is a great way to make Dawa to non-Muslim kids and Muslim kids as well, in particular those who may come from non-practicing Muslim families.

There are a couple of tips to keep in mind when approaching the school or your child's teachers about presenting, as well as for how you present the information to the child's class.

Ramadan Presentation01. Start early

Calling your child's teacher in the middle of Ramadan asking to do a presentation on the topic is too late. Now, less than a month before Ramadan is the best time to bring up the issue, especially considering Christmas is coming up and holidays are on the minds of most people, teachers and students included.

Starting early also helps you think about and gather the right materials to make a good presentation.

02. Get permission from your child's teacher

While parents do have a lot of clout in the school system, this does not allow them to show up unexpectedly one day at their son or daughter's class to do a presentation on Ramadan.

Send a letter giving a general indication that you want something done about Ramadan. Then wait for the teacher to call. If he or she does not do so within a week, call them and tell them you are following up on the letter you sent earlier.

03. Select the right period in which to do the presentation

Does your child study Social Studies? Or does he or she have a period once a week for Moral and Religious education? If so, suggest to the teacher that you would like to do the presentation during these periods. Or, you can of course ask the teacher if he or she has ideas about which time would be best to come in and do the presentation.

04. Be polite but firm

Speaking nicely to people is part of our Deen, including non-Muslims. We should remember that the purpose of this exercise is to not just educate the students, but the teachers as well. Being polite and courteous will not detract from your desire to present. It will serve to build bridges and communication, and could lead to further contact to do presentations on other Islam-related topics and more teacher-parent cooperation in the future, Insha Allah.

05. Ask the teacher what areas to cover and how long it should be

This helps to adjust your presentation to the age level of the students, as well as connect it to what they are already learning. This doesn't mean you can't bring in other information, but knowing what to cover from the teacher helps you put down what has to be covered and from there you can develop more points on these or related topics. Asking how long the presentation should be can also help you decide how much you can include in your presentation.

06. Read, prepare, read, prepare

Now that you've gotten the permission, you don't just sit back and wait for the night before the presentation to put it together.

Usefull Links

Remember, if you want to appeal to the students, especially younger ones, you are going to need more than just a talk. Visuals are a great help. You can get a Ramadan banner picture of Muslims fasting, show part of a video aimed at children about Ramadan (see Adam's World's Ramadan Mubarak video . To get the right material, you will have to find out where to get it from, and ordering it might take a couple of weeks.

Preparing is important, even though you may have fasted all of your life and think you know all about Ramadan. Get a children's Islamic book and read what it says about Ramadan. Or an article written by a teenager about Ramadan. This will also help you understand what points to emphasize in your presentation.

Reading up will also clarify any incorrect cultural norms that may have seeped into the practice of Ramadan which you may not have been aware of. Talk to a knowledgeable Muslim for advice as well.

07. Talk to your son or daughter about the presentation

Who would know better the mind set of the kids in the class than your son or daughter? Consult them about what to include, what the kids like, what kind of things they are interested in. Not only will this improve your presentation, Insha Allah, but it will also make Ameena or Saeed feel important and more confident as individuals, and as Muslims.

08. A few days before the presentation

Call the teacher to check the date and time of the schedule. This will serve to remind him or her about your visit and prepare the class accordingly. It will also help you get the exact time and date.

09. Write presentation points on note cards

Reading off papers about Ramadan will not hold the interest of many people, young or old. Instead, writing brief notes on note cards that you can look at so you don't miss any topic will help you avoid straying from the subject while allowing you to make eye contact with your audience and maintain a conversational style of presentation.

10. Practice your presentation in front of your son/daughter

Practicing helps you identify what can be improved, changed or omitted. Practicing in front of Ameena will give you the opportunity to present before one of the kids in the class who can really give you the best advice.

It will also help you time your presentation, so you can make it shorter or longer.

11. Dress for success

This does not mean pulling out the Armani suit or the most expensive dress you have. It just means looking as a Muslim should-clean, respectable, professional and Islamically covered. Clothes don't always "make the man" but they do affect others' perception of you.

12. Be early

Teachers and students are busy people. They have a certain curriculum to cover. The fact that they've squeezed in your presentation is somewhat of a privilege. Don't take advantage of this by wasting their time by coming late. And anyways, Muslims should be on time as a principle.

Coming early can also help you set up your audio visual material.

13. Make Dua...

Before your presentation. Ask Allah to help you convey this message sincerely, properly and clearly. And say Bismillah.

14. Speak calmly and clearly

It's important not to race through the presentation, nor to talk too slowly. A clear, conversational style, but emphasis on the major points or terms you want the students to understand can help convey the message properly.

15. When answering questions

If you don't know something, say so. Then check up on it and get back to the teacher. Ask him or her to convey the response.

16. Thank Allah...

For this opportunity He blessed you with and your ability to go through with it.

17. Send a thank you note to the teacher and class...

Thanking them for their time and attention, as well as their cooperation.

Eight tips on sharing Ramadan with your neighbors

Eight tips on sharing Ramadan with your neighbors:

The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: "He is not a believer who eats his fill while his neighbor remains hungry by his side." (Baihaqi)

"By Allah, he has no faith (the Prophet [SAW] repeated it three times) whose neighbors are not safe from his wickedness." (Bukhari)

Ramadan is a great opportunity to share Islam and more specifically, its values of spirituality, generosity and kindness with others, especially your neighbors. It's a great time to do Dawa. And Dawa is very much needed in the current atmosphere of anger, tension and sadness.

Here are some ideas on how you can share the joy with your neighbors this Ramadan.

01. Begin with Dua

Make Dua that Allah give you and your family the sincerity, strength, motivation and wisdom to do this. Dawa is hard work, and it needs preparation, commitment and organization.

02. Put up a Ramadan banner on your door

This can be something handmade or something more formal.

But don't stop there. Print out a fact sheet on Ramadan and stick that on the door to educate readers passing by about the blessed month and what it means to Muslims.

03. Send neighbors Iftar snacks

Usefull Links

Include a note with the food that the month of Ramadan is here and you are sharing your joy with them.

You can offer snacks that are not just "Muslims" but also "non-Muslims" (i.e. American, African, Middle Eastern, Indo-Pakistani, etc.). You can include index cards with the snacks listing all of the ingredients. This will help neighbors avoid food that causes allergies.

Ramadan Balloons04. Give kids Ramadan Mubarak balloons and candy

Let your neighbors' kids also feel the happiness of Ramadan by including chocolate and candy among your snacks. Balloons also add a nice touch, and if you can get some printed which have "Ramadan Mubarak" written on them, they may remember the blessed month even after it has passed.

05. Publish Ramadan information in your neighborhood newsletter

If you are part of a tenants' association, a group within your housing complex or your neighborhood block parents' association and they publish a newsletter, inform them about Ramadan and prepare a short write-up about the month. This is a great way of informing many more neighbors about Ramadan.

06. Have a neighborhood Iftar gathering

You don't have to invite everyone. Perhaps just the closest neighbors can attend this event. Send handmade invitations for an "Iftar gathering" at most a week in advance (avoid the word "party" as it may be misunderstood to mean a gathering including alcohol, loud music, etc.).

Ask about allergies or other food issues before establishing the menu. Include vegetarian, American and "ethnic" food.

Be sure to invite Muslim family and friends who are comfortable interacting with non-Muslims to this event, and brief them about how they should properly share Ramadan with the neighbors. Also, have some written material on Ramadan available for your guests.

At the gathering:

Be cordial, generous and friendly, but maintain Islamic rules of behavior and modesty. This should not be a "party" in the common understanding, but more of a religious celebration that is spiritual and respectful to all.

Don't impose information. Just let non-Muslim guests ask questions, if they want to. As well, be ready for questions about Islam and violence/terrorism, the oppression of women, etc. Give neighbors the benefit of the doubt and clarify their misunderstanding in a calm, gentle manner.

07. Get your kids on it

Tell your kids to inform other neighbors' kids what Ramadan is all about and have the children invite their classmates to your Iftar gatherings.

08. Talk about what Ramadan means to you

What's it like to fast? How do you work/go to school and still fast? These are some questions you may be asked. Don't just point your guests to the pamphlets. Tell them and use some personal examples they can relate to.

Ramadan Preparation: Ten tips to prepare your family for Ramadan

Ramadan Preparation: Ten tips to prepare your family for Ramadan
Bismillah

Family01. Buy all necessities for the month of Ramadan before Ramadan so you can spend less time during the holy month rushing around. You can be more focused on your religious rituals and spiritual development. Everyone in the family, even the kids, can participate, writing a shopping list, preparing some meals to be stored in the freezer.

02. If you have gotten into bad sleeping habits throughout the year, start readjusting now so you can wake up for Fajr prayer.

03. Sunnah fasts of Shaaban (the month before Ramadan) help to prepare for Ramadan and help to make the transition into the holy month a smooth one.

04. Reduce TV watching and prepare the family for the new spirit of Ramadan. Engage with your kids more and more in creative activities that remind them of Ramadan. (Suggested activities including reading the moral story books in group).

05. Organize your tape/CD collection to make it easy to select and to play nice nasheed (Hamd/Naat) to sing along together or Quran and Dua recitation, so as to introduce the spirit of the month gradually.

06. Plan ahead for the time you are spend at home in order not to lose the balance between your responsibility as a parent to supervise the children's studies and your engagement in religious practices such as reading Quran and praying Salat.

07. Plan ahead if your daughter needs a hijab to accompany you to the mosque. If possible, get shoes for the kids that are easy to tie when they leave the mosque. Do you or the kids need prayer rugs for prayer? Plan transportation to the mosque and back home.

08. Prepare as much cooking as you can before Ramadan. Here are some time-saving tips:

  1. Prepare some vegetables and store them in the freezer to have them ready when needed.
  2. If you soak dates in milk or water and eat them for Iftar, pit the dates before Ramadan.
  3. Chop onions, garlic and store them in the freezer to have them ready when cooking during Ramadan.

09. If you are planning to invite guests for Iftar, the best time to do that is during your monthly period (menstruation). This has several advantages:

  1. You will be able to taste the food that is going to be served.
  2. You won't be engaged in some acts of worship so you'll have more time for cooking.
  3. You won't have guilt feelings for staying after 'Isha' with the guests and not going to the mosque.

10. Prepare your kids before Ramadan that they have to help you more in housework and in setting the table and preparing the Iftar. Relate their action with the notion of Sadaqah and good deeds. Remind them that the reward of their good deeds is multiplied during Ramadan.

Bagaimana Persediaan Menghadapi Ramadhan?



Pada kebiasaannya manusia begitu bersedia dan waspada dalam menghadapi sesuatu peristiwa atau tugas penting. Segala-galanya dipastikan tersedia dan siap siaga lebih awal. Sekaligus ia melambangkan sikap peribadi kita terhadap sesuatu yang besar dan penting itu.

Sebelum menghadapi peperiksaan kita bertungkus lumus mengulangkaji pelajaran. Sebelum mendirikan rumahtangga kita lemas dalam menyediakan keperluan hidup. Sebelum sesuatu pertandingan sukan setengah orang bersungguh-sungguh membina kekuatan dan kemahiran fizikal.

Kini telah separuh bulan Syaaban kita lalui. Tidak lama lagi Ramadhan akan menjelang tiba. Bagaimana persediaan kita menghadapi bulan yang barakah itu?

Puasa yang diterima Allah ialah yang cukup syarat lahir dan batinnya. Puasa yang diterima bererti juga seseorang itu sudah mencapai taqwa. Jika kita tidak bersedia dan bersungguh-sungguh kita hanya mendapat lapar dahaga dan letih semata-mata.

Ertinya puasa Ramadhan dapat melatih kita mendisiplinkan diri sebagaimana disiplin orang bertaqwa. Iaitu selain tidak melakukan perkara yang membatalkan puasa, juga mesti memelihara anggota lahir dan batin dari melakukan dosa dan maksiat.

Seperti memasuki kem bina semangat, atau kursus tata negara atau sebarang kursus untuk meningkatkan kualiti, di bulan Ramadhan bererti memasuki kursus yang disediakan Allah supaya disiplin jasmaniah dan rohaniah sepanjang Ramadhan dibawa dalam mengharungi kehidupan pada 11 bulan yang lain.Begitulah sangat penting dan besar ertinya kedatangan Ramadhan kepada kita.

Bagi setengah orang-orang soleh telah menjadi tradisi bagi mereka berpuasa sejak bulan Rejab dan Syaaban sebelum Ramadhan. Itulah cara mereka bersedia menghadapi ketibaan bulan Ramadhan, raja segala bulan. Kedatangan Ramadhan bagi mereka adalah suatu yang sangat dinanti-nantikan dan berlalunya diiringi dengan rasa sedih dalam kesyukuran. Ramadhan juga mengingatkan kita agar selalu bersedia untuk menghadapi mati ketika kita masih hidup!

Holy Prophet Dialogue

Our Prophet : Enes Ibn Malik reports that a Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah and greeted him in the Masjid. The Messenger of Allah asked him where he came from. The Bedouin said:" I came from far, seeking answers to some questions".

Our master told him to ask his questions:

"I wish to be an intelligent man, what should I do?"
Holy Prophet replied, "Fear Allah".

"I wish to be a loyal servant to Allah and do what He wants me to do?"
Holy Prophet replied, "Read the Koran."

"I wish to be enlightened and have peace of heart?"
Holy Prophet replied, "Remember Death".

"I wish to be protected against enemies?"
Holy Prophet replied, "Trust in Allah".

"I wish to follow the Straight Path?
" Holy Prophet replied, "Do good to others for Allah's sake".

"What should I do so that Allah does not abase me?"
Holy Prophet replied, "Do not respond to the desires of your flesh".

"I wish to have a long life?"
Holy Prophet replied, "Praise and thank Allah".

"I wish for prosperity?"
Holy Prophet replied, "Be in a state of ablution at all times".

"How can I save myself from the hellfire?"
Holy Prophet replied, "Protect your eyes and your tongue and your hands and what is below your waistline against evil".

"How can I cleanse myself from my sins?"
Holy Prophet replied, "Shed tears for what you have done and repent by undoing what you have done wrong".

"I wish to be a respectable person?"
Holy Prophet replied, "Then don't ask for anything from anybody".

"I wish to be honorable?"
Holy Prophet replied, "Then don't divulge the wrong doings of anybody".

"What should I do to protect myself from the tortures of the grave?"
Holy Prophet replied, "Recite the Surah Mulk".

"What should one do to be rich?"
Holy Prophet replied, "Read the Surah Muzammil".

"How should I calm my fear of the day of last judgment?"
Holy Prophet replied, "Remember Allah before you eat anything and before you sleep".

Sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.)

Sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.)
Selected and Translated by Shaykh Kabir Helminski

--I heard Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) saying, "We (Muslims) are the last (to come) but (will be) the foremost on the Day of Resurrection though the former nations were given the Holy Scriptures before us. And this was their day (Friday) the celebration of which was made compulsory for them but they differed about it. So Allah gave us the guidance for it (Friday) and all the other people are behind us in this respect: the Jews' (holy day is) tomorrow (i.e. Saturday) and the Christians' (is) the day after tomorrow (i.e. Sunday)."

-- ISLAM began as something strange, and it will become thus again, as it was at the beginning. Blessed, therefore, are the strangers.
(He was asked who the strangers are:)
The strangers are those who restore what the people have corrupted of my law, as well as those who revive what has been destroyed of it.

-- You will not enter paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another.
Let me guide you to something in the doing of which you will love one another.
Give a greeting to everyone among you.


Gaare Hira

-- I was delegated as a prophet to perfect moral virtues.

-- Good character is half of faith.

-- God is merciful to those who show mercy to others.

-- Power consists not in being able to strike another, but in being able to control oneself when anger arises.

-- Honor your children and thus improve their manners.

-- The three best things:
to be humble amidst the vicissitudes of fortune;
to pardon when powerful;
to be generous with no strings attached.

-- Whoever does not express his gratitude to people will never be grateful to God.

-- The best people are those who are most useful to others.

-- Living among others is a cause for blessing, while seclusion is the cause of torment.

-- Happy is the person who finds fault with himself instead of finding fault with others.

-- From morning until night and from night until morning keep your heart free from malice towards anyone.

-- A perfect Muslim is one from whose tongue and hands mankind is safe.

-- Islam is purity of speech and hospitality.

-- Every religion has a distinctive virtue and the distinctive virtue of Islam is modesty.

-- Greet those whom you know and those whom you don't know.

-- When asked what was most excellent in a human being, he answered, "A friendly disposition."


Masjid Nabvi (Sunehri Jaliyan)

-- The best of God's servants are those who when seen remind you of God; and the worst of God's servants are those
who spread tales to do mischief and separate friends, and look for the faults of the good.

-- Whoever believes in one God and the Hereafter, let him speak what is good or remain silent.

-- He is the best Muslim whose disposition is most liked by his own family.

-- Respect the guest and do not inconvenience your neighbors. The faithful are as one person. If a man complains of a pain in his head, his whole body complains; and if his eye complains, his whole body complains.

-- He is not of us who is not affectionate to the little ones and does not respect the reputation of the old.

-- Truly, the farthest seat from me on the day of resurrection will be the garrulous, those who talk glibly, and those who talk tall. And who is it that talk tall? The vain-glorious.

-- God is gentle and loves gentleness.

-- Inscribed on the prophet's sword:
Forgive him who wrongs you; join him who cuts you off; do good to him who does evil to you;
and speak the truth even if it be against yourself.

-- Whoever restrains his anger when he has the power to show it, God will give him a great reward.

-- Backbiting is more grievous than adultery,
and God will not forgive the backbiter until the one wronged has forgiven him.

-- Keep yourselves far from envy, because it eats up and takes away good actions as
fire consumes and burns the wood.

-- What actions are most excellent?
To gladden the heart of a human being,
to feed the hungry, to help the afflicted,
to lighten the sorrow of the sorrowful, and to remove the wrongs of the injured.

The unbelievers of Makkah said to the prophet that if you are truly a prophet split the moon and if you do we shall believe. It was a full moon that night...
And so the prophet prayed to Allah to grant him this miracle, and the moon was split. Half was seen over Mount. Saffa, and the other half was seen over Mount. Kaikaan.

The people said that the prophet has placed a spell on us, however if he played a trick on us, then he cant play a trick on all the people in the world! Abu Jahl then said: "let us wait until the people of Albadiah come, and if they saw the moon split, then it is true, if not then we all know it was a trick of magic. When the people of Albadiah came they said that they too saw the moon split, and the disbelievers said "oh, how powerful Mohammad's magic is!"


Then Allah revealed Surat al Qamar: "The hour has come near and the moon has split, and when they see a sign, they turn and say 'this is a continuous magic' and they disbelieved and followed their desires..."

This took place in the days of the prophet Muhammad in Makkah
In one of Dr. Zaghlool Al-Najaar's seminars, in one of the British universities said: "The miracle of the plitting of the moon has been proven recently"... " One of the British brothers who is very concerned about the state of Islam "Dawood Musa" who is the new chairman of the british muslims party who is planning to enter the coming elections under the banner of islam, which is spreading extremely fast in the west said "While he was searching for a religion, a friend gave him a copy of the Quran translated in english. He opened it and came across surat Al-Qamar and read "The hour has come and the moon has split", looking at this he said 'The moon has split?!' He then stopped reading and did not open it again.


Then one day while whatching a program on the BBC, The broadcaster was talking with three American scientists, and the broadcaster was blaming America for spending billons of dollars on space projects, in a time where millions of people are suffering from poverty.

The scientists were trying to explain why it is important to go into space exploration

Soon the scientists came to discuss the most expensive trip to the moon, which costed about 100 billion dollars, so the broadcaster asked them "So to put the American flag on the moon you spent this much internal structure of the moon to see what similarities it has with the Earth, and they said that they were surprised to find a 'Belt of Rocks' that goes from the surface of the moon right to the inner depths.


Being quite surprised, they gave this information to their geologists, who were also surprised, as they concluded that this couldn't be unless the moon was once split and resealed. The rocks on the belt are a result of the impact during the time that the two halves of the moon recombined.


Watching this brother Dawood Mussa jumped off his seat screaming "This is Muhammad's miracle which occurred more than 1400 years ago, and now the Americans are spending billions of dollars to prove it to the Muslims. He then said "This must surely be a true religion, and so, where once Surat Al-Qamar was a cause for him disbeleiving in Islam, it was now the reason for his embracing Islam...
