Tips

 Guidance
– People equate guidance with the
knowledge of rules and regulations,
such as those of prayers, Zakat,
Hajj, and inheritance.
– Rules do not constitute even 10% of
the Qur’an. What then does the
remaining 90% talk about?
– It is addressed to the mind and
more importantly the heart.

www.understandquran.co 4
 Keep the heart clean
– We need to keep our heart
continuously clean by performing
regular prayers, reciting Qur’an,
and other good deeds.

– NO ONE can claim that he does not

need this maintenance.

www.understandquran.co 5
 How does Qur’an (or Allah)
guide?
By describing realities of this life
through different ways, most
prominent among them are:
– Allah, his attributes and rights
– Prophethood and the Last Prophet,
pbuh
– The hereafter
– Role of a human being
– Role of Shaitaan
(Continued)
www.understandquran.co 6
 How does Qur’an (or Allah)
guide?
– Signs of Allah in this universe
– Rules of Allah in this universe
– Stories and examples of earlier
people and lessons from them
– Rights of people
– Why people reject the truth
(Dawah, its challenges,) etc.

www.understandquran.co 7
 MOST IMPORTANT
– No one can say the way Allah says
it.
– No one’s words can have as much
effect as Allah’s words are.

www.understandquran.co 8
 Shaitaan’s Strategy is still
working
– 90% of us, the non-Arab Muslims,
don’t understand the Qur’an.
– We ask for guidance tens of times
everyday, yet most of us DON’T
EVEN FEEL THE NECESSITY to go to
Qur’an for getting it.
– We celebrate Ramadan after
Ramadan (Qur’an’s month) yet
Qur’an is still …
– We celebrate Lailatual-Qadr
(Qur’an’s revelation night), yet
www.understandquran.co 9
 The ultimate, real solution the
problems of Muslims Ummah
Our major problems are two:
• Doubts (not enough belief that
Qur’an can solve the problems, that
Qur’an guides us to everything, …)
• Desires (Even though we know
something to be right, we still don’t
do it. Muslims not united; Evils not
going out; Morals not good; etc.)
Al-Qur’an solves both. It clears all
our hidden doubts. It creates that
impulse to overcome all types of
desires.

 You are the luckiest
– Allah has chosen you to make you
students of the Qur’an.
– It is the biggest blessing when it comes
to learning.
– Don’t reject His Mercy by going away
– Be the student of the Prophet (pbuh).
– Don’t let Shaitaan make you like the
example of those who were given a book
before us.
– Don’t forget that this Qur’an will make us
go higher and higher both in this world
and in the hereafter.

 Next Step

 Start the next course (25 hours)

 60 Lessons; each of 25 minutes!
 Contains similar items but more
extensively covered. (Last 14
Surahs; more azkar of Salah;
more supplications; + Spoken
Arabic)

www.understandquran.co 22
 Urgent Need

 Start Qur’an circles in every

neighborhood (separate for men,
women, youth, and children)
 Every Masjid should promote it
 Every School should include it as a
part of its syllabus. (Which book is
more fitting for “Islamic Studies”
than Al-Qur’an?)
 Every organization should focus
on it
www.understandquran.co 23
 Sharpen the saw
– Our struggle – to make life (of both
worlds) happy and peaceful.
– Qur’an will take us to that path
– Al-Qur’an will sharpen our saw (of
attitude) which will solve all the
problems.
– It will be a tragedy, a huge tragedy
if we keep looking for happiness
and peace somewhere else while
Allah out of His infinite Mercy had
placed it right in front of us.

promoting, supporting and
