بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Qur’aan Deep Study-14
Allah’s Mercy today
Al Hamdu Lillah who made us see another Ramadan, as we live the last few days in Ramadan this year, I ask from you Ya Allah to accept all the good things Muslims did, and if you allowed us to see another Ramadan, please make us live this period in between as you wish, not as we wish. And the end of our Dua: Al Hamdu Lillah Rabbal Aaalamein.
Al Salaam Aleikum, we meet again in our deep study from the Noble Qur’aan, in an effort to make some of us realize how wonderful things are when it comes to Allah, and the Noble Qur’aan, please give Qur’aan the respect it deserves, do not make it second to the books of Hadeeth, or completely ignore learbing what Qur’aan says, but make Hadeeth next to the Qur’aan not first. The first words in the Qur’aan:
Bismmillah Al Rahmaan Al Raheim بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Now that we spoke a little about: الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ, let us discuss some of the pictures of this Mercy today. We said how the Mercy of Allah today is given to everyone, be it believers and non believers alike, be it those who thank Allah or even those who don’t, furthermore even those who offend Him, His Mercy covers every creature and creation as well. How this Mercy shows in our lives today?
Very well, let us bring some examples of His Mercy today, wonderful pictures of this Mercy shows in every aspect of our lives, take for an example the Air that we breath, can you imagine if our planet has thin Air or no air, making it difficult to breath, or even take one breath? Can you imagine our planet with no water, as is the case with billions of planets in the Solar system and the outer Space? Can you imagine our planet with no green trees, Grass and any Green of any kind? Can you imagine this planet with people and nothing else, no animals, no insects, no birds, no other type of life? What makes this planet so wonderful is the fact that it is as it is, without changing any of such. And Mercy exists in every aspect in everything that exists around us, how?
In the good old days, people used animals for transport; they used Horses, Donkeys, and Camels, to name a few. Animals used to save people from carrying loads for a lengthy period of time, and long distances, before man invented other means using the components Allah put for us on this planet, like all kinds of Raw material through which we invent all kinds of transport from the bicycle to the Space shuttle that wonder the universe above or the human brain that make and use them. All this came because Allah gave us the needed components needed to create all of such out of His loving Mercy.
Another examples we can talk about is: look at the Green life on our planet, do you know most of the medicine that heals a lot of our illnesses come from the natural Herbs, or from plants? Also that which heals and comes from Chemicals, this also is created by Allah for our sake, and His Mercy that brings comfort out of all kinds of pain. Imagine one hour of sever pain from any health problems, now imagine there is nothing to relieve this pain, and instead of a short period of suffering, this suffering is endless every time, do you see how Allah’s Mercy works in every aspect of your life and mine? DO you know if it was not for the Donkey and the Horses we would not imagine and invent any vehicle or flying machines, if it was not for the insects and the birds we would never think about inventing machines that fly and compete with the flying birds of all kinds? I can give you thousands of other examples, however, where is the Mercy in all of such? Mercy exists in how all this made life less hostile and wonderful to live in, mercy made us live with less suffering in traveling, or any other sufferings of all kinds, facing the cold winters, or the hot summers. His Mercy made all things better, and our comfort in His sight is always top priority, signs of this shows in how He created all things even before we came to learn how to put them to good uses.
Yes, His Mercy shows in every aspect of our lives, if you take few moments to think, to reflect, and you too will come to realize what you never thought about before now or used to take for granted, and see things in a manner that is so different, and so broad about life. If you can do this little reflection, you will become thankful to Allah, and you will appreciate life better, with deeper manner than ever before in your life. Some of us cannot see anything good in this life, those need to think about all what Allah gave us, then their lives will change for good after that insha Allah.
Christians see the love of their God in how he made a son to kill him on the cross for the sake of mankind, while we see this love in every aspect of our lives, that is why we have better picture with less blood in it than Christians have, or the Jews who think God is bias with no justice in him, he is their God and no one else’s. Yes, the LORD is Allah, He loves us, and no need to invent a son to cut him, He can forgive us without making a scene of any kind.

Is Qur’aan from Allah?
Al Salaam Aleikum, as I said before in message number 11 of our Deep study from the Noble Qur’aan, couple of readers came asking questions, we answered one of two parts from the first question, let us bring the question again here, he said: You appear to be a literate person who enjoys words. I too enjoy words and thoughts and theories but is the action that people take which demonstrates there true intensions. So why do Muslims attack and murder non believers? And why do Muslims continue the cycle of death and hate? We gave a brief answer to the first part, now let us reflect over the second part today, which is: And why do Muslims continue the cycle of death and hate? In answering this false preaching about us, please allow me to share with those who want to know how to answer those kinds of false sad accusation: how many of us remember the rule that says: for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction, show us hate, expect nothing less, what non Muslims are doing to us in unforgivable?
Fine, Let us ask this kind man who is attacking us with his lack of knowledge: dear friend, Islam has been here for the last 1400 years, we Muslims were always in your very back yard, you never felt we even existed, you never knew what is Islam, and you never heard of us before Sep 11. Look at you now and all of the sudden saying: spreading hate, and death, why the picture is so miserably converted today in the sight of people like you? I know you have no proofs of any, and you are brain washed by the evil around you who tell you lies about us, however I will give you none deserved credit and will say: bring your proofs if you spoke the truth, or if you even know what you are talking about. It is ok if you accuse us of something that is evil, but can you bring your proofs, this is the question?
Furthermore, when you are accusing us, you are not accusing us as Muslims from Arabia, or any other, you are accusing us as if this is what Qur’aan and Islam teaches, can you please show us where this teaching is found? Now, no need for me to show you where this is clearly preached in Hinduism let me share with you where this is clearly preached in Judaism and Christian faith. Reading the book of II Chronicles 15:13, which says: that whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death. Deuteronomy 20:10, which says: if you approach a city to fight it, offer it peace first, if it gave up; all of its people should become your slaves, and pay you tributaries. If they did not surrender, but fought back, when you get it kill every male with the edge of the sword, and all the women and children are for your amusement and pleasure, and all what animals and wealth it has is your gain as well to enjoy.
In the book of numbers 31 we see Moses (as they claim) was angry because they killed every male with the edge of the sword, but left the women and the children, and he ordered them to kill the women and the children. We also see in the book of Joshua, starting with chapter 6 with very evil pictures of a God ordering the Israelis to kill their enemies with the edge of the sword and leave no one alive, even the children. Therefore, killing and spreading hate is the message of others from non Muslims like Hindu, Jews and Christians, this is not found in the message of Islam, but we forgive your lack of knowledge. The picture is so miserable in this regard in what Jews and Christians believe in, even as bad in what Hindu believe in, a Krishna that cares about nothing but killing relatives and member of the same family for the sake of returning the Throne to the prince Arjuna. If we study this well, we need to tell Hindus that Arjuna makes a beter God for you than Krishna; if mere human beings are allowed to be taken for Gods as Hindu and Christian are doing.
Now, yes, we are willing to accept your false sad evil accusation if you can show us proofs from our Noble Qur’aan as we are showing you from what Hindu, Jews and Christians believe in, no my friend, Islam does not spread killing and hate, you need to ask us to explain, and you need to stop listening to Satan Advocates who mislead you about this. It is time for those who attack Islam to come and ask us if Islam says what Satan Advocates relay to their ears. As I told you in message 11: I received from two readers, and the other one said: The maker & sustainer of this world (& cosmos!) could not have need of one atom of it. He could just tear it up & start all over. He's got all eternity. Thus all who commit violence or the threat of violence to advance any religion, ritual, interpretation belief or practice could not possibly be of that. This is something ALL Muslims need to hear, undrstand & acknowledge. We open no attachments ever!
Yes, true, and as for attachments, I send them because Arabic does not show well if you do not see the attachment, it is your loss not mine. Next, we will return to answering the Christian from Egypt and his suspicions that Qur’aan is from Allah, after we took a long break from him.

Arabic Qur’aan
Learn how to read Sourah 2
فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الْشَيْطَانِ الْرَجِيْم
بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Al Salaam Aleikum, the second Ayah in Surah 2 says:
الم, ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابُ لاَ رَيْبَ فِيهِ هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ
الم: Again, starting with an ا A, however, please pay attention here, when an Ayah (verse) consists of letters, then every letter should be spoken with a clear sound, this is why here we speak the name of the letter out loud, if you remember the first lesson and the table, this letter is: Alef. Then we see the letter: لـ L, however, you need to notice the tone on top of it, it is: ~, this tone gives a stretch to the sound in any letter it comes with, like in this case the letter L should stretch to a count of five. Therefore, when you recite the second letter L, this is how it sounds: Laaaaam, use the nuts in your fingers, take one second with every a in this reciting. Or simply recite it slow enough to make it five second long. Then we have the same applied to the letter: م M, saying: Meeeeem, with the duration of five seconds as well. Very well, therefore, this Ayah reads: Alif, Laaaaam, Meeeeem. And it is an Ayah with number 1.
ذَلِكَ: The first letter is: ذَ TH (as in THE), we also see the Dash on top to make it sound like: THA. Then we have the letter لـِ L with a Dash under it to make it sounds like: LI, finally we have the letter كَ, with a Dash on top to make it sounds like: KA, the whole word reads: Thalika. Please notice the letter TH here is like in THE, THIS, THAT. Try to make it sounds correct.
الْكِتَابُ: Starting with a silent: ا A, followed by a silent لـْ L, we all notice the tone ْ on top of it, which silences it. Then we see the letter كـِ K with a Dash under it to make it sounds like: KI. Next we see the letter تـَ T with a Dash on top to make it sounds like: TA, followed with a silent ا A, and the letter بُ B, that has a tone of ُ on top to make it sounds like BU if we continue reading, and we cancel this tone if we stop at this point. Fine, the whole word reads: Al Kitabu. However, while reading we must join this word with the one before, and read them together in this manner: Thalikal Kitabu. We notice how the silent A is silenced completely here.
لاَ: You will see this letter a lot in the Noble Qur’aan, if you can memorize even one time, you will read it always correctly, so please try to learn it is so easy Insha Allah. This is a letter that consists of two letters in fact, we have the letter A ا and the letter ل L, put together starting with the letter L, then the letter A, this letter sounds like: LA.
رَيْبَ: Start with the letter رَ R with a Dash on top to make it sounds like: RA, followed by a silenced يـْ Ya to make it sounds like a silenced E, then we see the letter بَ B, with a Dash on top to make it sounds like BA if we continue reading, and cancel the tone if we stop at this point. The whole word reads: Rayba
فِيهِ: Start with the letter فـِ F with a Dash at the bottom to make it sounds like: Fi, followed by the letter يـ E, kind of silenced, ends with the letter ـهِ H with a Dash at the bottom to make it sounds like HI. The whole word sounds like: Fihi
هُدًى: Starting with the letter هـُ H with the tone ُ on top to make it sounds like: HU, then the letter د D with two Dashes on top, when two dashes are used this adds one more little sound of an n to the tone, here it makes the letter D sounds like: Dan, at the end we see a very silent letter ى E, as if it is not even there. Now let us read the whole word: Hudan.
لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ: Start with the letter لـ L, let us make this one simple, again we see another L, to sounds like LIL, followed by the letter مـُ M with a tone of ُ to make it sounds like MU, then the letter تـَّ T with the tones of ّ that doubles the sound of the letter, and Dash on top to make it sounds like short A. The letter sounds like TTA. We see here the letter ـقـِ Q (CK) as in Stock, coming with a Dash under to make it sounds like: QI. Then the silent letter يـ E, finishing with the letter نَ N that has a Dash on top to make it sounds like NA if we continue reading, and cancel the tone if we stop at this word.
Let us read the two Ayahs now: Alif, Laaaaam Meeeeem- Thalikal Kitabu La Rayba Fihi Hudan lillmuttaqein.
