Assalamu alaikum, everyone. What's going on? May Allah
bless you guys with the best of this
world and the next.
I'm your brother in Islam, Syed Murad, and
I'm excited to share with you the launch
of a new podcast called Simple Tafsir,
where the goal is to transform our lives
by living the message of the Quran.
In this podcast, we'll go over a simple
explanation of the Quran based on the book,
Al Muhtasarfi Tafsiril Quranil Kirim,
which has been translated into the English language
as well called a brief explanation of the
glorious Quran.
This podcast is for everyone who wishes to
understand the message of the Quran
because sometimes we don't get the entire picture
by just reading the translation.
Ultimately, the goal of this podcast is for
us to understand
the message of the Quran,
to reflect over it, and to implement its
teachings in our lives.
And this is how transformation occurs,
when its teachings are internalized
and comes out in our behavior.
So I hope to utilize a coaching approach
in this podcast.
So firstly, each episode we'll try to go
over one page of the Quran with a
brief explanation
so that the meanings are clear.
Secondly,
we'll look at one of the verses or
a certain topic. We'll explore it at a
deeper level for us to reflect over.
Allah tells us in the Quran,
that a book that we have sent down
to you that is blessed,
so that they may contemplate its verses and
people of reason may be mindful.
And this is why the Quran was revealed
to us so that we may understand it,
reflect over its verses, and act upon its
teachings.
And finally, we'll end with something that is
practical so that we can go out
and implement the teachings of the Quran in
our lives.
1 of the companions named Khabab,
he told a man that draw closer to
Allah
as much as you can,
But know that you will not approach him
with anything that is dear to him than
his words, meaning his book.
Allah
tells us about the Quran.
We have sent down to you a book.
In it is honor and respect for you.
Will you not understand?
You know, Allah is telling us that in
this book
is honor for us, status, the best of
both worlds, happiness.
He describes the Quran
as guidance, mercy,
a book that gives glad tidings.
It's secure.
You know, and isn't this something that we
all want? Don't we want happiness, respect, honor,
a good life?
And Allah has promised us these things in
the Quran.
So the question comes here,
that will you not pay attention? Will you
not understand
what is beneficial for you and what harms
you?
Will you not strive to adhere to its
teachings?
Because at the end of the day,
if we implement the teachings of the Quran,
we are the ones who benefit.
The benefit comes back to us.
And Allah
says in another Surah that, wa inna hoo
laddikul lakawalikaawalikaawmika
wasa'u fatus'aloon.
That indeed the Quran is a book of
honor and respect for you and for your
people.
And then he says,
that you will be asked regarding it.
So on yomul qiyama, we'll be standing in
front of Allah
being asked about the Quran.
What was our relationship with the Quran like?
Did we adhere to its teachings?
Were we grateful for this book?
So let's try to learn the Quran and
implement its teachings
so that when we stand in front of
Allah,
we can say that we tried our best
to learn and implement the teachings of the
Quran.
May Allah make us amongst the people of
the Quran, those who study his book, understand
it, reflect upon it, and act upon his
teachings.
Until next time.
