Assalamualaikum, I'm MD Nafim.
I'm from Dhaka, Bangladesh.
I'm a student at National Ideal College, Kirgaon,
Dhaka.
What is the best way to know the
meaning of the Holy Qur'an?
In order to have best understanding of the
glorious Qur'an, we should try to learn
Arabic as a language.
The best way in order to understand the
glorious Qur'an, in order to have in
-depth understanding of the glorious Qur'an is
to learn Arabic as a language.
If we learn Arabic as a language, then
we will have in-depth analysis.
It will help us to understand the glorious
Qur'an in a better way.
We should learn Lugha Fusha.
So this is the first step, learn Arabic
as language.
But if we cannot learn Arabic as a
language, then we can refer to the translation
of the glorious Qur'an.
But whenever we are reading the translation of
the glorious Qur'an, we should read it
along with the Arabic text.
And besides reading the Arabic text, we should
also refer to the books of Tafsir.
For example, Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Tafsir At-Tabari,
Tafsir Al-Qurtubi, Tafsir Al-Jalalain, Tafsir Al
-Sa'adi.
We should refer to all of these books
of Tafsir to have better understanding of the
glorious Qur'an.
If we do not know Arabic as a
language, we should read the translation of the
glorious Qur'an.
In the language, we understand the best.
In the English language, one of the best
translation is the Abdullah Yusuf Ali, along with
the commentary.
Besides this, we should also read the books
of Tafsir.
And Tafsir Ibn Kathir is translated in the
English language.
Besides this, we should also read other books
of Tafsir.
For example, Tafsir Al-Sa'adi.
So besides reading the translation of the glorious
Qur'an, the Tafsir of the glorious Qur
'an, it is very important as well.
A person who knows Arabic as a language
and he only reads the Arabic text without
and this person, he's not a student of
knowledge.
He does not read any book of Tafsir.
He just merely reads the Arabic text.
Whereas there is another person who does not
know Arabic as a language and he reads
the translation of the glorious Qur'an and
he reads various books of Tafsir, for example,
Tafsir Ibn Kathir and other books of Tafsir.
And he strives and struggles in order to
understand the glorious Qur'an.
His understanding will be far superior as compared
to the person who knows Arabic as a
language and he only reads the Arabic text
without reading books of Tafsir.
And this person is not a student of
knowledge.
But naturally, if this person who knows Arabic
as a language, if he reads books of
Tafsir and if he puts in effort, he'll
be far superior to the person who does
not know Arabic as a language and who
reads books of Tafsir in other languages besides
the Arabic language.
So those people who do not know Arabic
as a language, they should put in extra
efforts and they should not lose hope.
They should put in extra efforts in order
to understand the glorious Qur'an, in order
to read books of Tafsir and this will
give them better understanding of the glorious Qur
'an.
So the best is to learn Arabic as
a language.
If we can learn Arabic as a language,
this is the best so that we can
understand the glorious Qur'an directly because the
translation of the glorious Qur'an, it is
prone to errors.
It is prone to mistakes.
But the Arabic text, it is free from
errors.
The Arabic text of the glorious Qur'an,
it is the word of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala, it is free from errors.
But whenever we read the translation of the
glorious Qur'an, we should read it along
with the Arabic text.
So if there's any error or mistake, it
is not attributed to Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala but rather it is attributed to the
person who has done the translation of the
glorious Qur'an.
So let us be regular and punctual as
far as reading the glorious Qur'an is
concerned.
Let us read the glorious Qur'an on
a daily basis and understand the meaning of
what we are reciting.
And we will see the transformation in our
lives.
We will see that our lives transform.
If we want transformation in our life, if
we want success in this life and the
next, we should read the glorious Qur'an,
understand it.
And as far as the glorious Qur'an
is concerned, there are two types of understanding.
The first is tadaqur-e-Qur'an, which
is superficial understanding of the meaning of the
glorious Qur'an, which can be achieved with
the translation.
And the second is tadaqur-e-Qur'an,
in-depth understanding of the glorious Qur'an.
If you want to have in-depth understanding
of the glorious Qur'an, it is highly
recommended that we learn Arabic as a language.
If a person puts in extra efforts, then
Inshallah, he will have in-depth analysis and
understanding of the glorious Qur'an.
You will take the next question.
I do not want to disclose my name
and pardon me for that.
I am a female dentist.
I am from Kashmir, and currently I am
running my own dental clinic.
I treat both male and female patients in
my clinic.
I want my earnings to be halal, and
I'm very concerned about it.
My question is being a female dentist, I
just want to treat females and children at
my clinic.
But if a male patient comes to me
with an acute pain, shall I treat him
or not?
There is no other clinic up to two
kilometers in my area.
Please note, I am following complete hijab at
my clinic.
Please guide me so that my dunya and
akhira won't get compromised due to my profession.
As far as treating a patient is concerned,
we should see to it that male doctors
treat male patients and female doctors treat female
patients.
This should be practiced so that the hijab
is maintained.
And in today's time, in most parts of
the world, we have female doctors as well
as male doctors.
So what is the reason for a female
doctor to treat male patients?
What is the reason for a male doctor
to treat female patients?
We have several doctors, and among these doctors,
there are male doctors as well as female
doctors.
So the female patient should go to the
female doctor and the male patient should go
to the male doctor.
This is very important.
And regarding your question that you are a
dentist.
So what should you do in this situation?
You, certain times you have certain male patients
coming to you.
What you should do is that first you
should mention it clearly that your clinic, it
is only meant for females.
And if you want to include children, for
example, children who have not reached the age
of puberty, there is no problem in this.
So you should mention it clearly, for example,
at the entrance of your clinic, that this
clinic is exclusively for females and should advertise
your clinic in such a way that it
is exclusively for females.
And we have this in certain countries of
the world.
For example, in Saudi Arabia, we have certain
clinics wherein there is a female doctor and
this clinic is only meant for females.
We have female dentists who practice dentistry and
in their clinic, they clearly mention it that
it is meant for females and they have
female patients who come to their clinics and
generally male patients not come to their clinics.
So if you mention it clearly that this
clinic is only meant for females, then Inshallah
you will only have female patients.
And the reason why I'm stressing upon female
doctors treating female patients only and male doctors
treating male patients only is because many a
times when a doctor is treating a patient,
they are in close proximity.
For example, a dentist is treating a patient.
So the dentist is in close proximity to
the patient generally.
And many a times the dentist has to
touch the patient when he's treating the patient.
So many a times the rules of hijab,
they are broken.
So therefore, we should see to it that
in order to maintain the hijab, male doctors
should treat male patients and female doctors should
treat female patients.
If there is a situation of dire necessity
or an emergency, and if a male patient
comes to a female doctor, then in this
situation, there is no problem because it is
an emergency.
It is a necessity.
It is a dire necessity.
For example, if someone is dying or someone
is having excessive and extreme pain, it is
unbearable.
So in this situation, you can accept male
patients.
There is no problem.
So generally, what you should do is clearly
mention it that your clinic is meant for
females.
If there are certain situations wherein there is
an emergency and if a male patient comes,
you can treat the male patient.
But generally, you should try your level best
that you treat only female patients because this
will help you in order to maintain your
hijab and it will help you in order
to maintain the rules of Sharia and not
break the rules and criteria of hijab.
This was the limited time that we had
for this live question answer session.
I would like to end the session with
the verse of the glorious Quran from Surah
Ali-Imran, chapter 3, verse 710.
كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعَرُوفِ
وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَتْأُمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ You are the
best of people if all for mankind in
joining what is right and forbidding what is
wrong and believing in Allah SWT.
وآخر دعوانا أن الحمد لله رب العالمين
