Share your favourite Ayah or Surah

Yes, I also like Sura Ta-ha. I only read it again a few days ago.

Masha'Allah, Br. Farhan I have the first link that you gave it is also one of my favourites..very emotional..very powerful

These ayaat are also very striking:

Suratul Qasas:
68. And your Lord creates whatsoever He wills and chooses, no choice have they (in any matter). Glorified be Allâh, and exalted above all that they associate as partners (with Him).


69. And your Lord knows what their breasts conceal, and what they reveal.


70. And He is Allâh; Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). His is all praise, in the first (i.e. in this world) and in the last (i.e.in the Hereafter). And for Him is the Decision, and to Him shall you (all) be returned.


71. Say (O Muhammad ): "Tell me! If Allâh made night continuous for you till the Day of Resurrection, who is an ilâh (a god) besides Allâh who could bring you light? Will you not then hear?"


72. Say (O Muhammad ): "Tell me! If Allâh made day continuous for you till the Day of Resurrection, who is an ilâh (a god) besides Allâh who could bring you night wherein you rest? Will you not then see?"


73. It is out of His Mercy that He has put for you night and day, that you may rest therein (i.e. during the night) and that you may seek of His Bounty (i.e. during the day), and in order that you may be grateful.

The translation does not do justice to the original arabic, unfrotunately. Nor have I found any recitation that does justice to the ayaat either.

Good point zAk. A muslim doers not worry about details which will not benefit him/

thought id start a thread for ayahs that stood out/ made us cry and just ayahs in general that had us thinking etc



me
Unto every man among them will be paid that which he had earned of the sin, and as for him among them who had the greater share therein, his will be a great torment.

[24/11]

i love the ayats on my sig

This verse really affected my outlook on life and I shudder evertime i read it:

Surah Al-Araf:176

And had We willed, We would surely have elevated him therewith, but he clung to the earth and followed his own vain desire. So his parable is the parable of a dog: if you drive him away he lolls out his tongue, or if you leave him alone, he (still) lolls out his tongue. Such is the parable of people who reject Our Ayat. So relate the stories, perhaps they may reflect.

I have to say, everytime i read the Quran and try to pick out a ayat that i like best, it is impossible. So i have to conclude that The Quran as a whole stood out for me

I am quite amazed by the letters of the Quran that dont have an apperent meaning such as Nun and Qaaf etc. Although the favourite is Alif LaaaaaaaaaaaaM Meeeeeeeeeeeem *shuraim style*

loq no i dont cry cry because of them ayahs but i think that the purpose of this thread was to also post ayahs that make u ponder and think....

This verse made me very wary of how the shaitan works:

Surah Al-Isra/Bani Israeel : 64

"And befool them graduallythose whon you can among them with your voice, make assaults on them with your cavalry and your infantry, share with them wealth and children, and make promises to them." But satan promises them nothing but deciept.

How chilling:
- shaitan's voice is music and songs and all calls to disobedience;
- not only the shaitan but his army, with their weapons are always attacking;
- this is the worst bit - shaitan is sharing our children with us by tempting them all the time
- shaitan is also tryiing to get a share in our wealth by making us love wealth so much that we would go about doing haram works to get it.

May Allah save us from the evil plottings of shaitan.
Ameen

We've had this thread multiple times, so I'm going to merge it, insha'Allah.

43. See you not that Allah drives the clouds gently, then joins them together, then makes them into a heap of layers, and you see the rain comes forth from between them. And He sends down from the sky hail (like) mountains, (or there are in the heaven mountains of hail from where He sends down hail), and strike therewith whom He will, and averts it from whom He wills. The vivid flash of its (clouds) lightning nearly blinds the sight.
44 Allah causes the night and the day to succeed each other (i.e. if the day is gone, the night comes, and if the night is gone, the day comes, and so on). Truly, in these things is indeed a lesson for those who have insight.
45 Allah has created every moving (living) creature from water. Of them there are some that creep on their bellies, some that walk on two legs, and some that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills. Verily! Allah is Able to do all things.

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Since it's impossible for me to have a favourite verse of the Qur'an I would like to post just a few of the ones that I find particularly, heart-warming or thought-provoking.

013:027
And those who disbelieve say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him (Muhammad SAW) from his Lord?" Say: "Verily, Allah sends astray whom He wills and guides unto Himself those who turn to Him in repentance."

013:028
Those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism), and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah, Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.

001:002
All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).

008:017
You killed them not, but Allah killed them. And you (Muhammad SAW) threw not when you did throw but Allah threw, that He might test the believers by a fair trial from Him. Verily, Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.

024:046
We have indeed sent down (in this Quran) manifest Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, lawful and unlawful things, and the set boundries of Islamic religion, etc. that make things clear showing the Right Path of Allah). And Allah guides whom He wills to a Straight Path (i.e. to Allah's religion of Islamic Monotheism).

109:006
"To you be your religion, and to me my religion (Islamic Monotheism)."

021:030
Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one united piece, then We parted them? And We have made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?

021:001
Draws near for mankind their reckoning, while they turn away in heedlessness.

Needless to say, I have many more. Jazak'Allahu Khayran for reading.
