For Ghafur?
For Ghaffar?

[S_87]

what do you mean rara? :S

[S_87]

:sl:
khaldun..you tell me,what she means?

:S <--- mme ;D

[Khaldun]

:sl:

well she means which surah in the quran finishes with the letter ra in every ayah (ie the last letter of every ayah is ra) although if your sharp enough you will soon notice the flaw arwa has made loq! (no offense) ;D

[Umm Yoosuf]

Surah Al-Qamar

[S_87]

:Sl:

yup!
hahah i didnt know that!!

next question......

[Khaldun]

:sl:

no wait, check surah Kawthar ;)

[Umm Yoosuf]

oh yeahhhhhh surah Kawthar

[Khaldun]

:sl:

sooo arwa which one is it loqqqq ;D

[Muslimah]

First question ...i'd say suurat Mohammed


and second ....suurat Al-shams



Next: two suurah(s) have 111 verses? really easy....

[Far7an]

Surah Yusuf & Surah Al Isra?

[S_87]

:sl:
dead easy question but yh here goes :confused:

the ayahs about Aysha RA being slandered and rumors spread about her .....

where is it

[S_87]

:sl:
rightttttt...and the ayash after it too

from ayahs 12-20


nextttttt...???

[TrueMeasure]

four places in the Quran where it mentions the prophets (saw) name...?

[TrueMeasure]

ok wot about where does it mention the word "those" in arabic in the plural form in the Quran?

and the word "that" also in the plural from?

[TrueMeasure]

maghrib? wot part of the world u from?

[Khaldun]

:sl:

*waits for the word*

[TrueMeasure]

oops sorry doopy me! i ment the DUAL forms of the two words...

[TrueMeasure]

oh yeah i remembered another one.. where does it come in the Quran the dual form of 'forever'?

so thats three now, the dual forms of:

Those
That
Forever

[TrueMeasure]

your close zak but remember if the dual form is in the genitive (majroor) or accusative (mansoob) case then words like wallathaani become wallathayni.

i wont give the words away yet, let you ppl struggle for a while :)

[Arwa]

I don't get the question ???

[Khaldun]

:sl:

forever dual is in surah Hashr "Khalidayni"




these (or maybe you meant those) can be found in surah Kahf "Kilta"

btw I might be wrong, because I dont understand the question 100%

[S_87]

:sl:
ok so next question isssss












the ayah where Abu Bakr and Muhammed SAW were travelling from makkah to madinah and the kafirs got close to their cave..and Muhammed SAW said dont worry.....Allah is with us

wheres it?

[TrueMeasure]

:sl:

forever dual is in surah Hashr "Khalidayni"




these (or maybe you meant those) can be found in surah Kahf "Kilta"

btw I might be wrong, because I dont understand the question 100%

ok well done Khaldun, you got khalidayni correct!

the other two words i'm looking for are:

allathayni (dual of those)

thaanika (dual of that)

hmmm too hard i think..

[Khaldun]

:sl:

If I only knew who you were before brother truemeasure I wouldnt even have attempted your question lol, ( I meant it in a good way) I should have known that this question was from somebody like you, mashAllah!!

[Danish]

:sl:
errr...whats the question?

[TrueMeasure]

yep well done Zak, mashaa Allah you got!

hehehe Brother Khaldun! I had a hint it was YOU too!

[Khaldun]

:sl:

mashAllah zak, you seem to have clocked it alhamdulilah. :)


I am not sure what i am supposed to do, but I'll add to what brother zak stated.

وَاللَّذَانَ يَأْتِيَانِهَا مِنكُمْ فَآذُوهُمَا فَإِن تَابَا وَأَصْلَحَا فَأَعْرِضُواْ عَنْهُمَا إِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا

[Khaldun]

:sl:

sure ?

brother truemeasure did you ask for that?

also truemeasuer did u manage to get that wahuwal azizul alim I asked you, your taking your time hehe (zak dont tell him)

[Khaldun]

:sl:

not really, I asked him him like a on off thing, but yeah its one of the questions

[TrueMeasure]

that was also an acceptable answer mashaa Allah khaldun! it is also the plural of allatheena and was one i hadnt thought off..

as for your question im still looking for it! i found it before but i lost it again :( so far i've come across a number of azeezil aleem, but dont worry i will find it soon!

i'll give you a similar one in the mean time "wahuwal hakeemul aleem"...

[TrueMeasure]

you almost got it zak! but your missing a waw at the beginning as in "WA huwal hakeemul aleem". nice try tho!

Ya Khaldun! i found it again! its in naml ayah 78!

i kinda loike sorta cheated on this one. By coincidence i was listening to a kid reading that part of the Quran in madrassah and i thought to myself "oh so thats where it is!". but then i went home and forgot it! i could remember its position on the page but not the surah hehe..

ok any new ones?

[Khaldun]

:sl:

ok to get this thread back on track inshAllah. an easy question inshAllah (I know maybe its a bit too easy)

When the quran talks about Musa alyhi salam and his brother and their confrontation with the sourcerers, the quran states that they became muslim. They are reported to have said "We believe in the Lord of Musa and Harun" twice in the quran, but only once does it say "We believe in the Lord of Harun and Musa" ( if u didnt notice a difference, pay attention to the order of the names) My question is where in the quran is this particular phrase? (and if you want try to find the two other versions inshAllah)

[S_87]

:sl:



So the magicians fell down prostrate. They said: "We believe in the Lord of Hârûn and Mûsâ ."
(20/70)

[S_87]

:Sl:
i know where one ayah for other one is

26/48

The Lord of Mûsâ (Moses) and Hârûn (Aaron)

[Khaldun]

:sl:

yes its right mashAllah, well done amani!


now for the third and last place inshAllah

[أحمد]

:sl:

:D Very good so far . . . Alhamdulillah . . . :p

Next question:

:shade: "am hasibtum an tad-hulul-janna" is the first part of which verse in the quran? ;)

:w:

[أحمد]

:sl:

:D Insha-Allah . . .:p ;)

:w:

[أحمد]

:sl:

:applaud: Well done (I was one reference in the answer; that would have been enough, I can't give extra points for extended answers, but I'll try in the future Insha-Allah as it is useful) . . .

:shade: Next Question:

:D Where is "wa qarna fi buyutikunna walaa tabarrajna tabarruja-l-jaahiliyyati-l-oola wa aqimna-sataata wa aateena-zakaata wa at'inallaha wa-r-rasoolahu innamaa yureedullahu liyuth-hiba 'ankumu-r-rijsa ahla-l-baiti wa yutahhirukum tat-heera"? (One reference only; with this it should be easy. I don't want you to go out and search for every possible reference. This only appears once) . . .:p :p :p :p ;)

:w:

[Khaldun]

:sl:

brother truemeasure a question for you (and everybody else that wants to have a go, except brother zak loq)

give me three places in the quran where the tree of zaqqum is mentioned (its only three places)

[TrueMeasure]

where does it come "mataa'al hayaatiduniyaa"? (that is to say mataa'AL and not mataa'UL!)

[Khaldun]

:sl:

surah Qasas? ayah 61?

[TrueMeasure]

saaffat, dukhan and waqiyah :)

[TrueMeasure]

mashaa Allah well done khaldun! you got one of them but it was not the one i was thinking of... i'm not sure how many there but there arent much... see if you can find another....

[Khaldun]

:sl:

hehe i am fast ayah 23 surah yunus (i got no life i know :P )

btw have ago on my questions aswell :)

[Khaldun]

:sl:

wow ur quick i didnt even see that.....ok ill just be silent now hehe

[TrueMeasure]

mashaa Allah that was good! now for a really hard one.... "thaalika wa kunnaa" hehehe

[Khaldun]

:sl:

ppl say i fry ppls brains with questions, and here you come and do the same to me mashAllah may Allah reward you brother truemeasure.

is that after eachother?

give me time inshAllah, i got to worry about madressah now.....hehe

[TrueMeasure]

hehehe yes somewhere in the Quran the words thaalika and wa kunnaa appear after one another as in "thaalika wa kunnaa".. where?

i'll be here for quite a while since i'm revising for my exams and all my lecture notes are on the internet so i gotta revise from my computer.

i end up on this board when i get bored of revising :)

[Khaldun]

:sl:

lol subhanAllah revising and computer doesnt go well toegther specially when ur got internet.

anyways i was just reading my quran revision now, totally forgetting about ur question and I stumbled across the ayah 11 of surah Jinn "daalika kunna"....and i straight away remembered your question, is this right or wrong?

[Ansar Al-'Adl]

I was thinking of:

And of the evil ones, were some who dived for him, and did other work besides; and it was We Who guarded them. (Al-Anbyaah 21:82)

[Khaldun]

:sl:

yes i bet that was the ayah brother truemeasure was after, mashAllah brother ansar!

[TrueMeasure]

yes well done mashaa Allah! how did you get it?

yaa Khaldun there was another one i gave ages ago but i think u might have forgot about it... anyway see if you (or anyone else) can find it...

"qaleelan innamaa"

[Far7an]

*checks thread out-----questions way too difficult----leaves thread*

[S_87]

:sl: do you mean where is that???

Nor sell the covenant of Allah for a miserable price: for with Allah is (a prize) far better for you, if ye only knew.

:sl:

:applaud: I did actually mention it in the question and answer setion of one of my talks, so you may not be mistaken and your answer is correct, but not a reference so you'll get the points this time, but not in the future for ambiguous answers. :shade:

:D Anyone care to answer it a little bit more accurately? :p

:w:

[S_87]

:sl:

5/35?

[S_87]

O ye who believe! Do your duty to Allah, seek the means of approach unto Him, and strive with might and main in his cause: that ye may prosper.

[أحمد]

:sl:

:shade: No worries; I've got one or two more (1000s) questions . . .:)

:D Where is it mentioned about hell being made to be filled with jinn and man; and as the nature of mankind to dispute amongst themselves? (two verses: they are one after another) :p

:w:

[S_87]

hmm would it be sure Sajdah ayah 13 ....

or 7/179...?

[أحمد]

:sl:

:D I said about two verses; one after the other. Your answer is incorrect . . . :shade: Please try again . . . :p

:w:

[TrueMeasure]

umm.. i dont remember u telling me khaldun. but knowing you, you probably did hehehe!

mashaa Allah! well done amaani! how did you get it? are you ppl using your memories or some quran search engine on the web!(?)

ok try this one for size... where in the Quran does it say another word for "yes" other than "na'am" or "balaa"?

"biyameenihi subhaanah"

[TrueMeasure]

oh sorry! the second one is for those that cant be 'bothered' with finding the arabic equivalents of english words and prefer the more direct one questions... so see if you can find it...

[TrueMeasure]

:sl:

:shade: No worries; I've got one or two more (1000s) questions . . .:)

:D Where is it mentioned about hell being made to be filled with jinn and man; and as the nature of mankind to dispute amongst themselves? (two verses: they are one after another) :p

:w:

ummm.. wotabout 6:128-129?

[أحمد]

:w:

[TrueMeasure]

umm ok wotabout 7:38-39?

[Khaldun]

:sl:

[أحمد]

umm ok wotabout 7:38-39?

:sl:

:zip: Very close; only a few Surahs away from the answer . . .:p

:w:

[Khaldun]

:sl:

"biyaminhi subhanah" is that in surah Zumar ayah 67?

*still thinking hard about the na'am one* mashAllah

[TrueMeasure]

yep mashaa Allah you got it!

i'll give you the arabic word for the other one when your ready for it.... you wont get it! i would be EXTREMELY suprised if u do!

[أحمد]

very gud question this time, Masha Allah,

is it Surah Hud[11] Ayahs 118-119 ??

:sl:

:applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:

WELL DONE . . . :D

Next Question:

Nafs al-ammara is mentioned where in the Quran? :p

:w:

[أحمد]

:sl:

:D It's easy enough . . .;D

:w:

[Muslimah]

Nafs al-ammara is mentioned where in the Quran?

Suurat Yusuf , verse 53



And about TrueMeasure's question, i think its (ajal) because ajal means na3am.....even though when in the quran it says ajal musama is another meaning, but still i think ajal means na3am...

[TrueMeasure]

nice try Muslimah but nope thats not the one i'm after :)

i don't think you would hear your average arab using the word i'm looking for when saying yes!

i will give the arabic word for it soon... even then it will still be a challenge :)

[Muslimah]

Okay how about (laa ba's or laa ba'sa)

[Ra`eesah]

Assalamu'Alaykum

The Spanish soaps that are dubed over with Fus'ha arabic... on the arabic channels, ( its so pathetic btw)thats maybe where you would find them saying Ajal meaning Na3am



*Ajal - Literally appointed time, moment of death, or lifespan

[Muslimah]

Ajal - Literally appointed time, moment of death, or lifespan

thats right...but it also means na3am....

Father: yaa bunnaya hal salayta al-fajr...
son: ajal yaa waalidii ....

thats simple example.......

[Ra`eesah]

I didnt say it didnt mean yes... read the post again :)

[Muslimah]

Okay sister.....but it seemed as if you were not agree.....its all good though....


TrueMeasure can you give us a hint....is it just one word???

[Ra`eesah]

Assalamu'Alaykum

no habibity its my mistake i should have been more clear please forgive me. :)

[Ra`eesah]

ok just give us the first letter

atlest that first and everytime we ask for a hint another letter....

[Muslimah]

No problems ukhti...

telling us the first letter is good idea.....hehe

[Khaldun]

:sl:

wait wait give us some more time, I am still thinking, I dont want to take the easy way out loq

[أحمد]

:sl:

:D A letter from Prophet Sulaiman (as): "innahu min sulaiman wa innahu" . . . How does this verse finish off? :p

:w:

[TrueMeasure]

BROTHER KHALDUN PLEASE LOOK AWAY NOW :)






ok the word i'm looking for is a two letter arabic word and it starts with 'alif' (hehehe i think you still wont get it!)

[Arwa]

eh? ???

[Khaldun]

:sl:

wait wait OH NO brother truemeasure i got the ayah last night (whilst i was in bed, dont ask)

but i wont give it away to other members inshAllah (I am nice innit :) )

I'll tell you in person truemeasure loq (btw i got it before u posted that clue hehe) JazzakAllah Khair for such a nice question you really got my braincells working

[MetSudaisTwice]

mashallah bro khaldun, you have high knowledge in the deen of islam

[Khaldun]

:sl:

dont say that brother, ppl that know me, know how limited knowledge I have, I am nothing compared to the likes of truemeasure here subhanAllah certainly somebody to look up to ;)

[TrueMeasure]

yes its just once in the Quran if my memory serves me well! Bro khaldun will be able to confirm otherwise if i am wrong. Talking of whom... MASHAA ALLAH i am genuinely impressed! you dont fail to surprise me! May Allah preserve and strengthen your memorisation and make the Quraan as a source of goodness for you in this dunya wal aakhira!

Did you know that 'that' word was arabic for 'yes'?

[Khaldun]

:sl:

barakAllah Feek brother *embarssed* yes I remember learning that bit as sabak and that word did actually stop me, as I thought what can this word mean? Then alhamdulilah I understood it. And yes it seems to be only once in the entire Quran.

From that question other Questions can be derived but i'll just wait until more members get the word inshAllah

[Arwa]

man this is tough :confused:

[Muslimah]

Not just brother khaldun......i got it as well.....so am also give chance to others.....its really nice challenge...

[Muhammad]

Masha'Allaah zAK, you found it? I am eager to see what you will post...

[Arwa]

Post it!!!!!!!!!

[Arwa]

oh ok :)

[TrueMeasure]

Mashaa Allah! well done bro Zak you've got it! this was indeed a tough challenge and I am really impressed that you ppl are getting it. Incidently this question was never posed to me b4 and I dont know if i would have been able to get it :(!

[Khaldun]

:sl:
to move swiftly on, brother truemeasure did u manage to get the second two?

tell me two different "Qul Bala Wa Rabii"'s in the Quran.....as usually Zak ur not allowed to answer loq

[Muslimah]

:sl:

Thats easy one....

" wa qaala aladiin kafaroo la ta'tiinaa alsaa3a qul balaa warabi lata'tiyanakum....." ilaa aakhir alaayah

"za3ima aladiin kafiruu an lan yub3ithuu qul balaa wa rabii latub3athana....." waa ilaa aakhir alaayah....


By the way Zak...you shouldnt have give your answer in public..others could also have a try....hmmm


Next Question:
Allahi( haa maksuurah) is soo many times in the quraan alkariim...mention at least five.....

[Muslimah]

oh thats true.....but never mind..as long as i got it before you hehee....so tell me how did you get it???

Me, the clue brothermeasure gave us(harfu alif) helped me actually, otherwise i dont think i'd get it.

[TrueMeasure]

:sl:
to move swiftly on, brother truemeasure did u manage to get the second two?

sabaa and taghaabun. you gave this one before to me... the time when i kept on popping out with "qaalu balaa wa rabbina" instead :confused:

Muslimah how about an AYAH that BEGINS with "Allahi" to make it a bit more challenging??

[Abdalla]

true measure upto his tricky quranic ayaas, do you know who i am? you optometrist wannabe?

[Far7an]

:omg: I think I know TrueMeasure too now, oh well...you can blame Abdalla for blowing your cover hehe.

[TrueMeasure]

ok heres another really really tough one (maybe even tougher than the previous!)... when you get hoo (haa with dhamma) at the end of a word and you dont stop reciting there, you extend it slightly as in "wa rasoolaHOO la'anahumullah" or "ukfuloonaHOO lakum wa hum laHOO naasihoon".

There is one place in the Quraan where this rule is broken.... where?

[TrueMeasure]

:omg: I think I know TrueMeasure too now, oh well...you can blame Abdalla for blowing your cover hehe.

yep i know you too. be afraid. be very afraid.

[Khaldun]

:sl:

I think I got ur question brother truemeasure, but i need to confirm it with you hehe

[Khaldun]

:sl:

oh dear I spoke to soon, what an embarssment :-[ oh well its back to research then

[TrueMeasure]

just remember that the HOO has to preceded by a letter with a vowel on it (ie fatah, kasra, dhamma) only then will it be extended. There is only one place in the Quran where this does not happen...

[أحمد]

just remember that the HOO has to preceded by a letter with a vowel on it (ie fatah, kasra, dhamma) only then will it be extended. There is only one place in the Quran where this does not happen...

:sl:

:D What exactly is the question? :confused:

:w:

[TrueMeasure]

yep. Preceded.

so for example 'fa ahlakat hu' does not count nor does 'wa rafa'naahu' since the 'hu' is preceded by a letter with no vowel on it.

[MetSudaisTwice]

yeah go on bro zak, i have no idea what the answer is, you should answer it

[Khaldun]

:sl:

Alhamdulilah I got the question (the answer i mean), and this time I am sure its right hehe :brother:

[Khaldun]

:sl:

no i meant brother truemeasure question with the haa thing :brother:

[A7med]

u know wat ?

there's 1125 ALLAHI in the quran !!
[in any form, ex: lillahi, wallahi, tallahi, ....etc]

[don't ask how i know :)]


n ayah starting wid it r :

2.284 Lillahi....[i know this is not required by Br Truemeasure]
ok,

14.2 Allahi llazi lahoo maa fis samaawati wamaa fil ardh... :)

:sl:
Rubijulni moo ki musallhti wa min zuriaati rubana wata kubul duaa :confused:

Hope u all have benefited some what :D

[Sumayya]

Alhamdulillah :D

[أحمد]

I think its time now to gv away the answer Bro Truemeasure or IK :-[

i gv up :(

:sl:

:D NO! I think its time to give away the question first! So hand it over; what's the question?

:w:

[Khaldun]

:sl:

well since brother Ahmed hasnt replied yet I'll give out the answer inshAllah i hope brother TrueMeasure doesnt mind bismilah

إِن تَكْفُرُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنكُمْ وَلَا يَرْضَى لِعِبَادِهِ الْكُفْرَ وَإِن تَشْكُرُوا يَرْضَهُ لَكُمْ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى ثُمَّ إِلَى رَبِّكُم مَّرْجِعُكُمْ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ

the answer is the word "Yardahu"

[Arwa]

wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu

Subhanallah! :sister:

[Arwa]

:lol: ^ Ok :p

I think it's easy .. :confused:

From which bird did a son of the prophet Adam alayhis salam learn how to dispose of the dead body? Where is it the Qur'an?

:)

[Muhammad]

:sl:

Umm I just want to ask...has the answer to that 'hoo' one been given? Im asking so that I wont see it by mistake if I go back a page...

[al faqeer]

:sl:


A ghurab sis translated Crow , In surat Al Maida

31. Then Allah sent a crow who scratched the ground to show him to hide the dead body of his brother. He (the murderer) said: "Woe to me! Am I not even able to be as this crow and to hide the dead body of my brother?" Then he became one of those who regretted.

Lol...ok here's one (probably very easy)...but just to keep the game going (and keep br zAK happy :) )

Where does it say............ 'Ghafoori Raheem' ?

[al faqeer]

:sl:


I have a real easy Q .

Where is the Word Qitmeer mentioned in the quran and whats its meaning :thumbs_up

[Muhammad]

:sl:

It reads something like:
...And those, whom you invoke or call upon instead of Him, own not even a Qitmir (the thin membrane over the date-stone).

According to one of the translations:
Qitmir: The thin, white skin that covers the date-stone. It has neither strength, nor texture, and has no value whatever. Anyone relying on any power other than that of Allaah relies on nothing whatever, The Qitmir is worse than the proverbial "broken reed". (Makes reference to other ayahs such as Surah 4:124) where the word naqir, 'the groove in a date-stone', is used similarly for a thing of no value or significance.

[Muhammad]

:sl:

Where does it say the word: 'Ta'buroon' ?

[Muhammad]

QUOTE:
"several times quran is mentioned, from top of my head i can give several example surah Yusuf verse 2 "inna anzahnahu Quranan Arabiyal...", surah dhar/insan "fa iza qaranaho Fattabe a Qurana", surah Qiyamat "inna elaina jama aho wa qurana", surah yaseen "Yaa-seen, Wal Quranil Hakeem", surah yunus, and many other verses, "

How many other verses, containg the word "QUR'AAN" can you think of?

Btw...yes zAK that's correct!

Name the three type of Nafs (souls) mentioned in the Qur'an (arabic and english

1.nafsul mutmainah The righteous enter into their inheritance {paradise}and receive their welcome with a title that suggests freedom from all pain, sorrow, doubt, struggle, disappointment, passion, and even further desire; at rest, in peace; in a state of complete satisfaction. In Muslim theology, this stage of the soul is the final stage of bliss.
2.The unregenerate human soul, that seeks its satisfaction in the lower earthly desires, is the Ammara (xii. 53).
3.The self-reproaching soul that feels conscious of sin and resists it is the Lawwama (lxxv. 2,

asalaam! ok lets go straight into the deepend! You may need to know a bit about arabic for this challenge! find in the Quran where a command word ends in the letter daad! command words are words such as ithhab (go) irkab (ride) irfa' (rise) uqtul (kill) etc
as a warm up there should be a quite a few of them in the Quran. Your challenge is to find just one (i know of atleast one)! happy hunting!

The answer!

:sl:

Wahy being of two kinds: Matluww- That, which is recited, and Ghayr-Matluww- that which is not recited. Wahy Matluww or the revelation that is recited is the name of the Glorious Qur’aan and/or is the Glorious Qur’aan. Its words and meanings are both from Allaah. And Wahy Ghayr-Matluww or that is not recited is the name of Hadeeth and/or Sunnah of the Rasul Allaah صلی الله عليه وسلم (the word of which are from Prophet Muhammad صلی الله عليه وسلم and the meanings of which is from Allaah.

Evidence of this {Wahy Ghayr Matluww} is found at many places in Glorious Qur’aan, that there were many other things that were taught to Prophet Muhammad صلی الله عليه وسلم by Allaah (SWT) through Wahy (Ghayr Matluww). I will only cite here one Ayaah i.e. 2:143 as proof (Also see 66:3 beside many others).

Surah Al-Baqarah 143

وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا لِتَكُونُوا شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدًا وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الْقِبْلَةَ الَّتِي كُنْتَ عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا لِنَعْلَمَ مَنْ يَتَّبِعُ الرَّسُولَ مِمَّنْ يَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَكَبِيرَةً إِلَّا عَلَى الَّذِينَ هَدَى اللَّهُ وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَانَكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ

Thus We have made you (true Muslims - real believers of Islâmic Monotheism, true followers of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and his Sunnah (legal ways)), a just (and the best) nation, that you be witnesses over mankind {1} and the Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم be a witness over you. And We made the Qiblah (prayer direction towards Jerusalem), which you used to face, only to test those who followed the Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم from those who would turn on their heels (i.e. disobey the Messenger). Indeed it was great (heavy) except for those whom Allâh guided. And Allâh would never make your faith (prayers) to be lost (i.e. your prayers offered towards Jerusalem). Truly, Allâh is full of Kindness, the Most Merciful towards mankind.

{1} (V.2: 143) Narrated Abu Sa‘îd Al-Khudrî رضي الله عنه: Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said "Nûh will be called on the Day of Resurrection and he will say, ‘ Labbaik and Sa’daik, (I respond to Your Call and I am obedient to Your Orders) O my Lord! Allâh will say, ‘Did you convey Our Message of Islâmic Monotheism?’ Nûh will say, ‘Yes’. His nation will then be asked, ‘Did he convey Our Message of Islâmic Monotheism to you?’ They will say, ‘No warner came to us.’ Then Allâh will say (to Nûh), ‘Who will bear witness in your favor?’ He will say, ‘Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and his followers.’ So they (i.e., Muslims) will testify that he conveyed the Message - and the Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم will be a witness over you, and that is what is meant by the Statement of Allâh عز وجل: We made you (true Muslims - real believers of Islâmic Monotheism, true followers of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and his Sunnah (legal ways)) a just (and the best) nation that you be witnesses over mankind and the Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم will be a witness over you." (Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Vol.6, Hadîth No.14).

Muslims were facing the Baytal-Maqqadis (Jerusalem) while performing Salaat in the early day of Islaam. The above Ayaah was revealed when it was ordained to face Ka’abah again. This Ayaah states that previous order of Allaah to face “Baytal-Maqqadis” was test to know who obey the order and who reject it. Readers must note that the order to face Baytal-Maqqadis during worship has been attributed by Allaah to Himself. That means that He was the One Who had commanded His Messenger Muhammad صلی الله عليه وسلم to the direction of Baytal-Maqqadis. But the command itself is not found anywhere in the Glorious Qur’aan. It is obviously clear that this order was given by Allaah through a Wahy (Ghayr Matluww){revelation beside Glorious Qur’aan}, which is not a part of the Glorious Qur’aan. At this point we must point out that people of the Book were foretold about the new Qibla i.e. Ka’bah and its superiority over Jerusalem in their Scripture.
Ka’abah and its superiority was foretold in the Bible!

Glorious Qur’aan has provided a comprehensive definition of Imaan ايمان in Ayaah 3 of Surah Al-Baqarah,

Surah Al-Baqarah 3

الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ

Who believe in the Ghaib {1} and perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), {2} and spend out of what We have provided for them (i.e. give Zakât {3} , spend on themselves, their parents, their children, their wives, etc., and also give charity to the poor and also in Allâh’s Cause - Jihâd).

{1} (V.2: 3): Al-Ghaib: literally means a thing not seen. But this word includes vast meanings: Belief in Allâh, Angels, Holy Books, Allâh’s Messengers, Day of Resurrection and Al-Qadar (Divine Pre-ordainments). It also includes what Allâh and His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم informed about the knowledge of the matters of past, present, and future e.g., news about the creation of the heavens and earth, botanical and zoological life, the news about the nations of the past, and about Paradise and Hell.

{2} (V.2: 3): Iqâmat-as-Salât إقامة الصلاة: The performance of Salât (prayers). It means that: a) Each and every Muslim, male or female, is obliged to offer his Salât (prayers) regularly five times a day at the specified times; the male in a mosque in congregation and the female at home. As the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has said: "Order your children for Salât (prayers) at the age of seven and beat them (about it) at the age of ten." The chief (of a family, town, tribe, etc.) and the Muslim rulers of a country are held responsible before Allâh in case of non-fulfillment of this obligation by the Muslims under their authority. b) One must offer the Salât (prayers) as the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to offer them with all their rules and regulations, i.e., standing, bowing, prostrating, sitting, as he صلى الله عليه وسلم has said: "Offer your Salât (prayers) the way you see me offering them (see Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Vol.1, H. No. 604 and Vol.9, H. No. 352)." (For the characteristics of the Salât (prayer) of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم see Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Vol.1, H. No. 702, 703, 704, 723, 786, 787].

{3} (V.2: 3) Zakât زكاة: A certain fixed proportion of the wealth and of each and every kind of property liable to Zakât of a Muslim to be paid yearly for the benefit of the poor in the Muslim community. The payment of Zakât is obligatory as it is one of the five pillars of Islâm. Zakât is the major economic means for establishing social justice and leading the Muslim society to prosperity and security. (See Sahih Al- Bukhâri, Vol. 2, Book of Zakât, No. 24]

يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ ( Believe in the unseen) in the terminology of Islaamic Shariah, signifies accepting with complete certitude the statement made by Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم out of one’s total confidence and trust in him and without need of personal observation. The word Ghaib غيب lexically denotes things that are not known to man in an evident manner and/or which are not apprehensible through the five senses.

Excerpt
Proof: Hadeeth حديث rejecters are outside the fold of Islaam!

Related Points

1. The above facts does and will unequivocally refute Judeo-Christian claims that God spoke to Moses (PBUH) directly, but not to Muhammad (SAW), thus he is not a true prophet. Because Allah spoke to Prophet Muhammad (SAW) more than he spoke to Moses (PBUH). See..What a great difference there is between the TWO.

2. The above facts also impeach Hadith rejecters and proves that Hadith-e-Qudsi in fact are based on Allah's conversation with Prophet Muhammad (SAW), including the Ahadith as well.

3. The above facts also clears up the doubts of Muslims that we don't have such and such mentioned in the Qur'an, therefore, we cannot accept it. This kind of Muslims, despite of Qur'an thumper conveniently forget the Ayah 43:3

وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَى

Nor does he speak of (his own) desire.

[61.4] Surely Allah loves those who fight in His way in ranks as if they were a firm and compact wall.

No the word "sayf" 'sword' isnt found in it, this ayah got its name because it cancelled out the previsous ayahs in the quran urging for "no jihad" (to put it roughly) I hope that has shed some light on it....i dont want to make it too easy loq

[Khaldun]

very good attempt brother zAk, however the first ayah in surah nisa you gave is talking about the "issue" if you understand the ayah itself didnt legislate jihad.

As for the ayah in Hajj its even more specific mashAllah but its not the ayah "sayf"
i'll give one more hint inshAllah, this ayah when revealed broke all the treaties with the mushkrikeen....

Jazakallahu Khayr for pointing that out! I just wanted to clarify one thing though, that I came across this before and I thought that the "hard test" mentioned above is referring to the action of changing Qiblah from Jerusalem to Makkah, rather than being the act of facing Jerusalem. Therefore Allaah was testing who would turn on their heels when He ordered for the change of Qiblah. What do you think of this?

You are right, Children of Israel were told in their scripture that the Promised Prophet would be the Prophet of two Qiblas. After this, sign when the Jews rejected Prophet Muhammad (SAW), they literally sealed their fate for eternal Hellfire.

However, my initial question was that there is no command in the Qur'an to face Jerusalem, so how that became possible. Thus, my earlier response proves that it was through Wahy Ghayr Matluw i.e the command was given through Wahy Ghayr Matluw to Prophet (SAW) to face Jerulsalem, but was changed through the Wahy Matluw (Qur'an) by revelation to face Ka'ba, proving him to be the Prophet of two Qiblas; a sign already given to the People of the Book.

This is the Ayah of the Sword

Mujahid, `Amr bin Shu`ayb, Muhammad bin Ishaq, Qatadah, As-Suddi and `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam said that the four months mentioned in this Ayah are the four-month grace period mentioned in the earlier Ayah,

[فَسِيحُواْ فِى الاٌّرْضِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ]

(So travel freely for four months throughout the land.) Allah said next,

[فَإِذَا انسَلَخَ الأَشْهُرُ الْحُرُمُ]

(So when the Sacred Months have passed...), meaning, `Upon the end of the four months during which We prohibited you from fighting the idolators, and which is the grace period We gave them, then fight and kill the idolators wherever you may find them.' Allah's statement next,

[فَاقْتُلُواْ الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَيْثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمْ]

(then fight the Mushrikin wherever you find them), means, on the earth in general, except for the Sacred Area, for Allah said,

[وَلاَ تُقَـتِلُوهُمْ عِندَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ حَتَّى يُقَـتِلُوكُمْ فِيهِ فَإِن قَـتَلُوكُمْ فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ]

(And fight not with them at Al-Masjid Al-Haram, unless they fight you there. But if they attack you, then fight them. )[2:191] Allah said here,

[وَخُذُوهُمْ]

(and capture them), executing some and keeping some as prisoners,

[وَاحْصُرُوهُمْ وَاقْعُدُواْ لَهُمْ كُلَّ مَرْصَدٍ]

(and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush), do not wait until you find them. Rather, seek and besiege them in their areas and forts, gather intelligence about them in the various roads and fairways so that what is made wide looks ever smaller to them. This way, they will have no choice, but to die or embrace Islam,

[فَإِن تَابُواْ وَأَقَامُواْ الصَّلَوةَ وَءاتَوُاْ الزَّكَوةَ فَخَلُّواْ سَبِيلَهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ]

(But if they repent and perform the Salah, and give the Zakah, then leave their way free. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.) Abu Bakr As-Siddiq used this and other honorable Ayat as proof for fighting those who refrained from paying the Zakah. These Ayat allowed fighting people unless, and until, they embrace Islam and implement its rulings and obligations. Allah mentioned the most important aspects of Islam here, including what is less important. Surely, the highest elements of Islam after the Two Testimonials, are the prayer, which is the right of Allah, the Exalted and Ever High, then the Zakah, which benefits the poor and needy. These are the most honorable acts that creatures perform, and this is why Allah often mentions the prayer and Zakah together. In the Two Sahihs, it is recorded that Ibn `Umar said that the Messenger of Allah said,

أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَشْهَدُوا أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاة»

(I have been commanded to fight the people until they testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, establish the prayer and pay the Zakah.) This honorable Ayah (9:5) was called the Ayah of the Sword, about which Ad-Dahhak bin Muzahim said, "It abrogated every agreement of peace between the Prophet and any idolator, every treaty, and every term.'' Al-`Awfi said that Ibn `Abbas commented: "No idolator had any more treaty or promise of safety ever since Surah Bara'ah was revealed. The four months, in addition to, all peace treaties conducted before Bara'ah was revealed and announced had ended by the tenth of the month of Rabi` Al-Akhir.''

[Ummu Amatullah]

mashallah that's a pretty long list you've got there; i'm pretty sure you're right let's just hope you are. :thumbs_up

[Ansar Al-'Adl]

:sl:
Looks like sister ummnoura has listed out all 31 surahs (if I count correctly) for the surahs that begin with letters. We have 83 surahs left to categorise.

Now about the one that zAk mentioned, it is a surah beginning with a purpose or a reason for something else. It will be easier if you categorise all other surahs first before dealing with this one, since there is only one that begins with a reason.

:w:

[Ummu Amatullah]

:sl:
:sister: kinda :confused: with the reason thing.What do you mean when you say a suraa that begins with a reason.

[*!~Faith~!*]

Which surahs begin with questions?

Is it surah fil?

How many more do I need to find?
