Maybe a stupid Question But why Do we Say For Example Surah- Ichlaas
In the beginning The Word 'Kul' Wich means 'say' Why dont we just say:

Hüvallahü ehad,
Allahüs samed ,
Lem yelid ve lem yuled ,
Ve lem yekün lehu küfüven ehad .

(Say) ......

He is Allah, the One;
Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
And there is none like unto Him.

The Surah Is meant for us To say But why do we put Kul (Say) In the beginning when we Pray thats what I dont understand :?

:w:
 
Thread Approved

Thats an interesting question, i'll try and see if i can search for some answers, Insha'Allah.

It could be to do with when the Qura'an was revealed to the Prophet Salallahu Alayhi Wassalam, it was as a command to him, as in to 'say' it to the people...WaAllahu A'lam

I'll see if i can look for a definite answer :)

:w:
 
Yah but why do WE say ..'SAY' in the beginning Thats what I dont understand
 
:sl:

I think...When the Quran was being revealed on our beloved Prophet, Allah commanded him to "say"/"kul" to the people...Idk...:?

:w:
 
^Yah Ofcourse I know we cant take part of the Quran out, astafurallah

But the thing is He told Us To SAY ... Hüvallahü ehad, Allahüs samed , Lem yelid ve lem yuled ,Ve lem yekün lehu küfüven ehad.
But why do we still Say ..." SAY "in the beginning
it sounds like we are Saying To tell OTHER people to say it but actualy we have To say it for ourselves ALLAHU ALIM

Try asking a Scholar, Insha'Allah. They should be able to help you more than us, as their knowledge exceeds the laymans. :)

Yes, I believe that is it. Good question, by the way.
 
Assalamu Alaykum,

Are there any Masajid near where you live akhee? Maybe you could ask one of the Imaams.

:w:
 
Yah We have Some Masjids here , I will Try To Ask Inshallah

Jazakallaah Khair For Comments btw :)

One interesting point is that the "Qul" is actually a proof that the Qur'an is from Allaah (swt) and not made up by anyone else, because otherwise it wouldn't be there. I guess this is kind of looking at it from the opposite perspective.
 
^ Good Point , But for example when We do the salat And You recite Ichlaas and you say Kul But To who are we Sayin Kul, Isnt it suppose to be that WE have to recite It
and Not to Say ..Say ? Allahu ALim
 
:sl:

Its because the quran was revealed to muhammad (pbuh), and allah commanded him to say the text he revealed to him.

So for example

(Say oh Muhammad)

He is Allah, the One;

So 'say' implies to muhammad(pbuh) to actuall say the relavtion to others.
Wa Allahu a3lam
 
^ Yeah He Told Him(Saw) To SAY : He is Allah, The One
So why is The SAY Included .......Allahu Alim
 
:sl:
i was going to say the similar thing as RaOnar
because the qur'an was revealed to Muhammad (pbuh), the angel Gabriel said to our beloved prophet "Qul Huwallahu Ahad", meaning that Gabriel said to him "say that allah is one!"
so what he means with "Say" is that he should tell everybody (sahaba's etc.) about it
for instance, "Say to them that allah is one" etc.
that is what i most probably think is right, wallahu a3lam
every right thing i said comes from allah, and evvery mistake i made comes from me
:w:
 
But Why Do WE still Say ...SAY in our salat or when we recite doesnt it sound strange when we Say .. SAY He is Allah, The One;
to who Are WE saying SAY?? , I understand That the Prophet (Pbuh) Said to companions and the others but why are WE saying it.. Allahu Alim
 
It's more dramatic. :D

Hmm..

Actually, I don't find it too strange to say "Say there is only one God". It's like you are repeating the words said to you, like you are reminding yourself of what was said to you.. But it is a good question..

Please, someone ask a scholar. :statisfie

my dear sister Crazy lady is right.....and cause Allah knew that the Unbelievers will accuse our prophet Muhmmad salla Allah alyhi wa sallam by manufacturing the Qura`n and it is not from Allah but a lie from the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) Astagfor Allah....

thats way there is Kul...

Wa Allaho A`alam
