CONTINUED... SURAH
AD-DAHR: 76 - (The Time) We have created them, and have made their joints strong. And whenever We will, We would replace them with others like them, a total replacement. [28] Indeed, this is a reminder; so let anyone who so wishes, adopt a way to his Lord. [29] And you will not so wish, unless Allah so wills. Indeed Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. [30] He admits whomsoever He wills to His mercy. As for the wrongdoers, for them He has prepared a painful punishment. [31] COMMENTARY: Miracles of Nature Respecting Human Joints - This verse alludes to the fact that even though man's limbs and organs are perpetually in motion, and the wear and tear on them is phenomenal, they continue to function from birth to death. When machines made of iron or steel wear out and require regular servicing to remain functioning for even a short period, man's body, made of soft tissues and muscles, functions for decades and scores of years without maintenance. Let us take the joints of the fingers [or other joints of the human body]. They are moved vigorously in different ways in an uncountable number of times. Heavy pressure and force is applied to them for seventy to eighty years [on an average], yet the finger-joints [and other joints] remain intact. It is certainly only Allah Who makes this possible. 'Glorious is Allah, the Best of Creators! ~
MA'AARIFUL QUR'AAN ~ |

| THE MESSAGE | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
RECITE
THE NOBLE QUR'AN Rasulullah Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam said: "On the Day of Qiyaamah the Qur'aan will petition Allah to cloak the one who had recited it with garments of honour and respect. A crown of honour will then be placed on the head of the reciter. The Qur'aan will then petition Allah Ta'ala to shower His pleasure on the reciter. Allah will then become pleased with him. The reciter will then be asked to recite the Qur'aan, thereby attaining higher ranks of elevation. In reward for each aayat a virtue will accrue to him." (Tirmithi and Ibn Khuzaimah) Another hadith as well describes the elevation of ranks by means of reciting the Qur'aan in the Hereafter. The hadith states: "Continue climbing (higher and higher in rank) with your recitation in the same way as you recited with care and concern on earth. Your abode (of residing) is located (at that rank attained) with the last aayat recited." (Tirmithi, Abu Dawood, Ibn Majah, Ibn Hibbaan) One should reflect and take advantage of this great treasure in store in the Aakhirah, by striving in the recitation of the Qur'aan. Effort should be made to secure this wonderful wealth for one's offspring. If one experiences difficulty in memorising or in reciting, one should never lose hope and give up the recitation. Even reciting in such circumstances is highly meritorious as has been explained earlier. If unable to commit the Qur'aan to memory, then merely recite it (by way of Naatharah i.e. looking inside and reading). Impart this recitation to others as well. The significance and thawaab are indeed great. The acquisition of the ways and means of a practice or act which is incumbent and rewardable is also incumbent and rewardable. Like it is essential to render the act or practice so too is it essential to acquire its ways and means. This is a simple and self-evident fact. It is therefore incumbent to make the necessary arrangements for learning and teaching the Qur'aan Majeed. The ways and means of rendering this duty is to establish a Maktab (or Madrasah) in your locality so that children can be taught to recite the Qur'aan Majeed. Adults too should devote some time towards this acquisition. If a free instructor or teacher is not available, the community should engage a salaried teacher. Boys who have acquired the knowledge of reciting at the Madrasah should teach it to the females at home. In this way all males and females will be able to recite the Qur'aan Majeed. If anyone is unable to recite the Qur'aan, he/she should at least memorise a few Surahs. Besides
the above, there are some other Huqooq (rights and demands)
of the Qur'aan Majeed. These are: b. A person who wishes to learn the translation of the Qur'aan Majeed should not undertake the task by means of self-study. In self- study of the Qur'aan's translation is the grave danger of misunderstanding. Its translation should be studied under the guidance of an Aalim. c. The Qur'aan Majeed demands the utmost respect and reverence. Never stretch the legs in its direction nor turn your back to it. Do not sit higher than the Qur'aan Majeed and do not place it on the ground. Place it on a desk or pillow or any high place. d. Torn, tattered and unusable pages and copies of the Qur'aan Majeed should be wrapped in a clean cloth and buried in such a spot which will not be trampled underfoot. e. When reciting the Qur'aan Majeed contemplate that you are conversing with Allah Ta'ala. The spiritual light with which the heart will then become imbued will be vividly perceived. |

The graves of as many as 500 Muslim war veterans have been vandalised in northern France, in an attack which President Nicolas Sarkozy calls repugnant. Gravestones were daubed with swastikas and letters spelling out anti-Islamic slogans. The attack took place on the eve of Islam's Eid al-Adha festival, when Muslims visit the graves of loved ones. India is to make changes to its security and intelligence agencies in the wake of last month's Mumbai terror attacks, which left at least 171 people dead. The government will create a national investigative agency, boost coastal security forces, improve the training regimen for local police and strengthen anti-terror laws, India's home minister said. A UN Security Council panel has said that a charity based in Pakistan is a front group for the organisation blamed by India for last month's deadly attacks on Mumbai. Jamaat-ud-Dawa is operating for Lashkar-e-Taiba, also a Pakistan-based group, and is subject to UN sanctions on terrorist organisations, the al-Qaida and Taliban Sanctions Committee said on Wednesday. The Land Affairs Affairs Department has asked the National Treasury for a big increase in funding to meet its land reform targets. Director-General Thozi Gwanya told reporters in Parliament that the department needed an additional R74 billion if it is to redistribute 30% of agricultural land by 2014. He said the cost of buying agricultural land has soared because of inflation and the increasing use of the land for developments such as golf estates and game farms. The
Co-founder and leader of the Congress of the People (COPE),
Mousioa Lekota, has lambasted violent disruptions caused by
ANC supporters during voting in yesterday’s by-elections.
He was addressing a packed Athlone hall in Cape Town last
night. |

| A THOUGHT | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
TREASURE
--------- My friend, the King without consulting thee has laid up a treasure in some spot. If such be His will, He will take it away or He will leave it where it is. Why seek to know why He laid it up or why He will take it away? This faithless world has no light, it has no feast that is not followed by mourning. If it offer thee silver, it is stone, and if it offer thee an excuse it is a lame one. ~ FARIDUDEEN ATTAR ~ |
