Qur’aan Deep Study-23
Be an Idealist for Allah sake
Ya Allah, it is not enough for me to seek that which is good “as a true believer”, but I do seek that which is better, and strive for that which is the best for your sake. Some rest for the least when it comes to obeying Allah, I will never rest for the little things, please help me to do better, better yet, please help me to do that which is the best. And the end of our Dua (10;10): Al Hamdu Lillah Rabbal Aaalamein.
Dear readers, Al Salaam Aleikum. Please watch this video about the Wall of Hate Israelis are building at Palestine, and please forward it to all those you can reach from the West that made itself a slave to Israel. http://chromovision.com/films/Wall.wmv. Copy this link and put it in the search bar to enable you to see it. The second Ayah says:
Al Hamdu Lillah Rabal Aalamein الْحَمْدُ للّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
All Thanks unto Allah, and no one else, the last time we spoke about the following Ayah, which is Ayah 4;125 that says:
وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ دِينًا مِّمَّنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُ لله وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ واتَّبَعَ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفًا وَاتَّخَذَ اللّهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلاً
Who is better in his religion and faith than the one who puts his/her face towards Allah in worshiping the proper way, and with all of his/her heart and soul trying to do his/her best, also following the ways of Ibraheim SAW in worshiping Allah, and Allah took Ibraheim SAW as a friend”. We asked this question: how we can do this properly, also to learn what hasan means, which comes from Ahsan “better”, also more of doing that which is good “Ihsaan”, not just less of it. Let us look at this Ayah one step at the time, it says: who has better religion/faith than the one who worship Allah only, and nothing else, while also trying to do good, or doing this worship in the best way, not the ignorant way.
The first thing we notice here is the fact that Allah is not looking for those who are mere believers, or those who have faith, no, this is far from satisfying what Allah wants from us. Allah says here: who is better in his/her religion, not who is a believer and have faith, what is the difference here? How many Muslims believe that Allah is the LORD and creator, how many Muslims accept Muhammad and Qur’aan, yet and on the other hand how many of those Muslims do not worship, and do not read Qur’aan or do anything of what is required to save them from Hell? More than 60% from the Muslims are doing nothing to make Allah satisfied with them, and they are worshiping this life today, seeking to make comfortable living now, have no patience to receive this comfort come the day. My friend, look around you among the Muslims, what is the number of Muslims who pray, what is the number of those who read Qur’aan properly, not just with their eyes, and in the manner fit for talking birds, and how many are those who rush to doing good as Allah says? Yes, I know, when I said 60% of the Muslims are doing none of what Allah ordered I was wrong, the percentage is much greater than what I mentioned.
Now look again, how many among those who pray from the Muslims know anything about the meaning of their prayers, or if their prayers are as Allah told us in Ayah 29;45 says:
اتْلُ مَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ تَنْهَى عَنِ الْفَحْشَاء وَالْمُنكَرِ وَلَذِكْرُ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ
“recite what Allah gave you from the Noble Qur’aan, and pray, prayer prevent people from doing all kinds of evil things, and the prayer make you remember Allah which is the greatest act among all things, and Allah knows all what you are doing”. Look at those who pray, did prayer prevent them from doing all kinds of evil, if not, then they pray like an animal good in imitating other human beings, or like a machine. My friend, if your prayers are done for prayers sake not for Allah sake, then your prayer is worthless. Some think they are praying for Allah, yet since their prayers are staying the same without improving, with no emotion and proper motion, then those are like a machine have no brain
The second thing we notice in this Ayah which says: who worship only Allah and does well. The issue is not in just worshiping Allah, but in doing this in proper manner, not as if it is a heavy duty you want to do and get done with, or an action you do without any thinking, as if you are praying out of habit, when prayer time comes you pray, when you finish you do not even remember what you said. Therefore, when we pray, we need to attend this prayer with all of our souls and hearts in understanding what we are doing; this need not be an Automatic thing, or motion without any emotion. How many times you had tears during your prayers, this is how many times you did prayer right or wrong, or just getting close to the right thing. Some prayers come from the hearts, some words barely leave the lips. The last step according to this Ayah says: and followed Ibraheim SAW’s footsteps, which calls us on studying how prophets like Ibraheim SAW worshiped Allah, this is why those men of the LORD are our guiding light.
The purpose of this message today is to ask all of you to become the friends of Allah, to belong to Allah with your souls also your hearts, to love Allah with your hearts not just the lips. One way or another you do belong to Allah like everything else; why not belong as you should? For previous messages; please visit; http://rahjx.net/msad.htm

Is Qur’aan from Allah?
Al Salaam Aleikum, the argument with this Christian from Egypt is about Ayah 21;32:
وَجَعَلْنَا السَّمَاء سَقْفًا مَّحْفُوظًا وَهُمْ عَنْ آيَاتِهَا مُعْرِضُونَ
“And We made the sky a protected ceiling, but they turn their backs to the miracles of Allah”. The last time we brought the second Ayah in this debate from this sad example of a human being Christian from Egypt.
The last time in message 21 I asked you to please look up, try to answer the following question: what is there between the Heavens and our Planet Earth, we also ask: why your information about the meaning of the words in the Noble Qur’aan is so little, are you studying Qur’aan as you should, and if not, then why not, please help me reach all hearts with this deep study from the Noble Qur’aan if you don’t mind.
Today, most of the educated started to understand a little about this creation called the universe, when we read how Allah made the Sky above our heads a protected ceiling, this makes us understand how what lies above this Sky may carry a lot of harm for us human beings. In order to give this Ayah Justice we need to say: let us understand what we can call Sky, and where this starts, also where does it end? This question is not an easy one as some may think, in the matter of fact it is extremely difficult, why? Some say: Sky “Samaa” is that which is above our heads, I may accept this as partially true, not totally correct, why? The sign Allah gave to the Sky is the fact that is has been protected, also may mean has protection. When we say: something has been protected, then one of the features it must carry is the fact that is does not change, or if change does happen; it is not so often as is the case with the space above our heads. The other fact Allah gave to what He calls Sky is the fact that it is a ceiling, a ceiling is something that is stable, non changeable as well, while the space above our heads continues to change. Have you ever seen any ceiling that change, except under extreme measures that is? More than one reason to make us believe that the Sky Allah is speaking about is not this space above our heads as even this Christian from Egypt thought as well.
On the other hand, Ayah 37;6 says:
إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا السَّمَاء الدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ الْكَوَاكِبِ
“We decorated the lower Sky with the decoration of the planets”, here is another solid proof that the Sky is not the space above our heads, do you see any planets in the space above your heads beloved Muslims? Yes I respect our Scholars of Old who said that the Sky is what above our heads, however, Allah is greater than all of our best Scholars no doubt about this. In conclusion we say: what this Christian thought is deadly wrong, when Allah speaks about the Sky it is not what this Christian limited mind can think. Next time insha Allah we will talk about the Sky itself, also the danger that is above it, which calls to have it protected and act as our protection as well, however, what Allah calls this space which is above our heads and we used to think it is the Sky? Ayah 19;65 says:
رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَاعْبُدْهُ وَاصْطَبِرْ لِعِبَادَتِهِ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ لَهُ سَمِيًّا
“ The LORD of the Skies and Earth, also the LORD of that whch is in between both of them, worship Him and pay patience/Tolerance in your worship, do you know the name of your LORD as well?”. Therefore, in correction to the first notion that what is above our heads is the Sky we say: no it is not, but what is between the Sky and our planet Earth, is the space above our heads, and it stretches for hundreds of Kilometers as well, this space also have a tremendous effect over our lives on planet Earth.

Al Salaam Aleikum, the forth Ayah in Surah (chapter) 2 says:
والَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلِكَ وَبِالآخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ

قَبْلِكَ: The letter قـَ Q has a sash on top to make it sounds like: QA, the letter بـْ B has a circle like on top to make it silent B. The letter لـِ has a Dash under it to make it sounds like LI, and the letter كَ has a Dash on top to make it sounds like KA. The whole word reads like: Qablika.
وَبِالآخِرَةِ: The letter وَ W has a Dash on top to make it sounds like WA. The letter بـ B s kind of silent, also the letter ا A sounds silent as well. Now please pay attention to the following, in fact it is not one letter, but a combination of two letters, the first one is an L, and the other is an A, both sound like LA in most cases, however here we see a little stretch on top like ~, which makes the LA sounds like LAAA., or even LAAAAA, depending on the style of reading you are following. Then we see the letter خـِ KH with a dash under it, to make it sounds like KHI (please look at the first lesson when we covered up the letters and how they sound). We have the letter رَ R with a dash on top of it to make it sounds like: RA. The last letter is ةِ T with a dash under it to make it sounds like: TI, and the whole word sounds like: Webilaaaaakhirati.
هُمْ: We start with the letter هـُ H with a ُ on top of it to make it sounds like: HU. Following this is a silent letter مْ M. The word sounds like: Hum.
يُوقِنُونَ: Starting with the letter يـُ E that has an ُ to make it sounds like YU, then the silent letter و W, and the letter قـِ Q which has a dash under it to make it sound like: QI. Then the letter نـُ N that has ُ to make it sounds like NU, then we have a silent و W. We also have the letter نَ N, with a dash on top to make it sounds like NA, in case if we continue reading but if we stopped reading at this point then the letter will be a silent N. The whole word reads: Youqinoon.
Please do not depend on the reading in Roman letters, but try your best to read this in Arabic, otherwise we failed in our task. The Roman is a help, not a target by itself, for previous messages, please visit http://rahjx.net/msad.htm
