If the language of a particular time has a word for something, it means that such item was existing at that time. For example, if we find a word for “axe” in the literature of a society written in 500BC, it means that axe was used by that society. Similarly the word “computer” was not available in the English literature of 1930s. Therefore, the literature is used for getting information about that society.

Lesson 1B: Attitude of Believers Have you noted? • There is a @ at the beginning of words with present tense having a pronoun “he”. For example:

02y : 87 (He hides), h+ 7 8 (He shapes).

" at the beginning of words with example: C2y : F (You hide), h+ 7 F (You shapes).

• There is a

present tense having a pronoun “you”. For

• There is a E at the beginning of words with present tense having a pronoun “we”. For example:

9 h2 5 (We differentiate), h+ 7 5 (We shapes).

• There is a 5 at the end of words having a pronoun “our or us”. For example: 75 :+ 5 (Help us),

7&: 7 : (Be Merciful to us). This word also comes at the end of words in Past Tense. Here it means “we”. For example: 7&: > 7 (We listened), 75Y S J: 6 (We committed a mistake).

Rule of the Day

Identify the parts of a sentence in English.

Arabic Sentences are formed by joining words and phrases. If the major word of the sentence is a noun, it is called a “Noun Sentence” and if the major word of the sentence is a verb, it is called a “Verb Sentence.”

Do you know? It is essential to read the poetry and prose of the time of revelation of the Quran in order to learn the language of that time.

Face the Challenge! Rule of the Day

Compare Arabic pointing nouns with those of English. What is the difference?

Pointing nouns are used not only for physical distance, it is also used for mental distance.

In Arabic, a group of people is usually considered feminine although the individual members of that group are masculine.

Topics of Pre-Islamic Arab poetry and speech were limited. They used to talk about the objects around them e.g. camel, desert etc. In addition to that, inter-tribe wars were a major topic of their poetry and prose. Describing the attributes of their tribe was a favorite topic for Arab poets.

He indicates (with his hands) towards it (the Black Stone), kisses it (if possible) and says, “In the name of Allah, Allah is the greatest)”. He walks around Ka’aba until he reaches again to the Black Stone. Then he indicates towards it and kisses it, if possible. Otherwise he can just indicate by his hand. This is one cycle. Similarly he completes the remaining cycles. During the “Tawaf”, he remembers Allah, the Exalted, and calls Him. While (walking) between the Yemeni Corner and (the corner) of the Black Stone, he says: “O our Lord! Give us good things in this world and good things in the Hereafter and protect us from the punishment of Hellfire.” Explanation At the time of Yemeni Corner of Ka’aba

Rule of the Day Word AE6

|AE4 are used to increase emphasis in a sentence. While the word E 6 adds ‘ing’ to the meaning of a verb. Word E 4 is synonym of “if”. Do you know? At the time of revelation of the Quran, a large number of slave-women were available in the society who had no rights. Their masters used to cohabitate with them. Islam provided them rights and declared them the wives of their masters. Ways to their manumission were introduced. For details, see the book “Abolition of Physical & Intellectual Slavery in Islam”. http://www.mubashirnazir.org/ER/Slavery/L0018-00Slavery.htm

These are Allah’s limits, He explains them for a nation who does not know. Do you know? In order to tease women, Pre-Islamic Arabs used to swear for not having sex with their wives. This practice was called Z*84.The Quran closed the door of such oaths. If a person swears for not having sex with his wife, she will become automatically free after four months. Do you know? The wisdom behind the instructions of Allah to wait for three months after the divorce is that both husband and wife have a chance to think deeply about the consequences of their divorce on their family. There is a high probability that both of them will reverse the process of divorce after thinking again and again for three months and the family will not be ruined. After the three months, the divorce will be enforced. In case of first or second divorce, both of them can even re-marry after the waiting period. Allah wants to maintain the family up to the last extent. Explanation No harm, no blame She pays ransom Don’t cross limits

Don’t keep them for harming them otherwise you will cross the limits. Whoever does that, he has offended against himself. Don’t make Allah’s verses a joke. Remember Allah’s blessings upon you and what He has revealed the Book and the Wisdom on you. He guides you with it. Be fearful to Allah and know that Allah knows everything. Do you know? In the patriarchic society of Pre-Islamic Arabia, there was a practice of divorcing wives and then canceling the divorce in order to tease them to infinite number of times. In order to protect women, the Quran limited the number of divorces to two. After the third divorce, the husband has no right to cancel the divorce. The law which was revealed to protect women, unfortunately people have started using it against them and a heinous practice of “Halalah” (temporary marriage) has been invented. According to Islam, the marriage is a life-time contract. If a couple divorces thrice, they are separated forever. If the woman marries with another man and then that man divorces her or dies, she has the right to remarry the first husband, if she wills. There is no concept of a temporary marriage in Islam. The Prophet ,- / 0

declared the person used in a temporary marriage is like a rented bull. Do you know?

In these verses, a word $ is coming again and again. It has two meanings: (1) good deeds about which all human beings agree that they are good e.g. piousness, helping poor, chastity etc. (2) established practice / law of a society. The Quran has left many things on the society to decide e.g. how much amount a husband should pay to his wife at the time of marriage? How much he should pay on monthly basis? How a husband and wife should divide the joint responsibilities of home? It is not possible to make a universal law about it. Therefore, it is left on the society / government to decide about it. In these verses, the word has been used in the both meanings. Explanation

When you divorce women and their term (of three menstrual cycles) completes, don’t make it difficult for them to remarry their husbands if they come to an agreement according to the best practices of society. This is enjoined on everyone who believes in Allah and the Day of Judgment. This is more virtuous and chaste for you. Allah knows while you don’t know (the wisdom of protecting your family system).

It is for whom who decides to complete the breast-feeding. It is the responsibility of the father to provide sustenance and dress according to the best practices of the society. A person will not be made responsible beyond his capacity. A mother will not be harmed due to her child and a father will also not be harmed for his child. On the heirs (of the father), there is a responsibility similar to that. If both of them decide with mutual agreement and consultation to wean, there is no blame on both of them. If you decide to arrange a foster-mother for your children, then there is no blame on you provided that you pay whatever (remuneration) you decide (for the foster-mother) according to the practice of society.

Narrated by Abu Hurairah: Allah's Apostle said, “Satan puts three knots at the back of the head of any of you if he is asleep. On every knot he reads and exhales the following words, 'The night is long, so stay asleep.' When one wakes up and remembers Allah, one knot is undone; and when one performs ablution, the second knot is undone, and when one prays the third knot is undone and one gets up energetic with a good heart in the morning; otherwise one gets up lazy and with a mischievous heart."

Ma’roor Ibn Suwaid said: I saw Abu Dhar Al-Ghafari wearing a cloak, and his slave, too, was wearing a cloak. We asked him about that (i.e. how both were wearing similar cloaks). He replied, “Once I abused a man and he complained of me to the Prophet . The Prophet asked me, 'Did you abuse him by slighting his mother?' He added, 'Your slaves are your brethren upon whom Allah has given you authority. So, if one has one's brethren under one's control, one should feed them with the like of what one eats and clothe them with the like of what one wears. You should not overburden them with what they cannot bear, and if you do so, help them (in their hard job)." Explanation

Narrated from A’di: A’di took a white and a black thread. He looked at them at some part of night, but they did not become clear. At the morning he said, “O Allah’s Prophet! I put them under my pillow.” He said, “Then your pillow is very wide. Black and White Threads are under your pillow.” [The Hadith was about the Quranic instruction about fasting: “Eat and drink until the white thread (of morning) becomes distinguishable from the black thread (of night).” In the verse, black and white thread are an allegory for the night and the morning. A’di understood the verse in its literal meanings and placed a black and white thread under his pillow. When he told his story to the Prophet , he joked to him, “Then your pillow is very wide. Black and White Threads are under your pillow.”]

Although Joseph was at jail but he was a free and brave man. Although Joseph had no wealth but he was very generous and open-handed. Definitely the prophets speak loudly about the truth at each place. Definitely the prophets improve (the conditions) of their time with generosity. Joseph said in his heart, “Surely, need has brought these two persons to me. Surely a needy person becomes soft and surrenders himself. Surely a needy person listens and obeys. If I said something to both of them, they will definitely listen.” People of Jail listened but Joseph did not hurry.

The Drinks Manager went to the jail and asked Joseph about the interpretation of the dream of the king. Joseph was very generous, openhanded and benevolent for Allah’s creatures, therefore, he informed about the interpretation. Joseph was very generous and open handed. He did not know misery. So Joseph informed about the interpretation and also indicated about the planning (to resolve the issue indicated in the dream.) Do you know? Due to its systematic nature, Arabic is the easiest-to-learn language in the world for its non-native people. You’ll study the system of Arabic language at the next level.

Joseph was a careful and knowledgeable person. Joseph did not want to leave these people to eat public money. Joseph was not able to see that people are hungry and dying (with hunger). Joseph did not use to hesitate for truth. He said to the king, “Make me responsible for the treasures of earth. I am a careful and knowledgeable person.” So Joseph became responsible for the treasury of Egypt. People felt relaxed a lot and thanked to God. In Egypt and Syria, there was a famine as Joseph informed. People of Syria heard and Jacob also heard that there is a kind person at Egypt. In Egypt, the administrator of earth’s treasures is a generous and respected person.

They did not know because (in their opinion) Joseph was in the well. They thought that he had died. How did he not die while he was in the well. He was in the well and the well was deep. The well was in the forest and the forest was lonely. It was at night time and the night was dark.

Jacob forbade them to be hopeless from Allah’s mercy. The brothers went to Egypt third time. They entered to Joseph and complained about their poverty and affliction and asked about his generosity. Here grief and love aroused in Joseph and he was not able to control himself.

My Lord has made it true. I saw 11 stars, the sun and the moon, I saw them prostrating for me.” Joseph praised Allah at lot with purity. Joseph thanked a great thank on that. Jacob and his progeny remained in Egypt for a long time. Jacob and his wife died at Egypt. This great kingdom did not make Joseph busy (to avoid) Allah, it did not change him. Joseph used to mention Allah and worship Him and fear Him. Joseph used to decree according to Allah’s decree and used to implement Allah’s instructions.

May Allah’s blessings and peace be upon them and on our Prophet.

Rule of the Day The Proper Noun ('(

) has seven types which we’ve discussed in previous lessons: (1) Name (B -7 ) of a specific person, thing or town. (2) All pronouns e.g. 56 |56 |< etc. (3) All pointing nouns ) ( ! e.g. eF |ef |;< etc. (4) All linking pronouns (( ) e.g. e 6 |³ |@; etc. (5) Nouns having at their beginning. (6) Nouns whose ,4 H$ is a proper noun e.g. = |U $ N 3 > h 7 etc. The nouns whose ,4 H$ is a common noun are also common nouns e.g. o U >q N 73> (a book of a student) (7) The noun which is called by an exclamatory word e.g. C 7 > 7 8 |CI 7 8 etc.
