Shadee Elmasry – What is the Quran With Dallas Shumann

			First and foremost the Quran is
going am Allah which is the words
		

			of ALLAH Spano Tala, that will
reveal to the Prophet Muhammad
		

			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
usually through the vasila, the
		

			connection of Juby either he's
Sudan, and it was revealed over
		

			the course of 23 years. The first
10 I do believe we're in Mecca and
		

			then the last 13 were in Medina.
So we have the division, typically
		

			the sort, or the chapters of the
Quran will be broken up into two
		

			different sections. They will
either be of the Meccan variety or
		

			of the medina variety. The subject
matter is typically the same,
		

			having to do with the Oneness of
Allah Spano Tata and having to do
		

			with preparing oneself for the
hereafter, and living a life of
		

			piety and righteousness. However,
typically the sewer that came down
		

			in Medina will tend to have more
rules and regulations that we
		

			should live our lives in
accordance with.
		

			I think that's one of the most
difficult things to do at first I
		

			converted and I was Christian
before and so the Bible typically
		

			has more linear stories that have
a big clear beginning, a clear
		

			middle and a clear end. And no
Quran. According to our western
		

			understanding of the way things
are written, there's not the same
		

			pattern to look for when you're
reading the Quran. So one of the
		

			best place to start is the end.
So, to begin with the last Jews,
		

			Jews among the 30th section of the
Quran is a great place to start,
		

			because many of them contain the
first chapters of this Quran, the
		

			first source will be revealed. And
they contain the the essence of
		

			faith for for the believer. So you
have the heart of the believers
		

			compared often to a stone. And the
drops of these at the drops of
		

			these verses are like truth and
life that soften the heart that
		

			was one stone and makes it ready
to receive further instruction. So
		

			once you have been taught about
the hereafter about this life and
		

			how to respect others and respect
the rights of those who are around
		

			you, have you learned about the
the Oneness of Allah Subhan Allah
		

			to Allah and some of the stories
of the prophets, I think in the
		

			system, then after you've
implanted this Eman and this faith
		

			in your heart after that, then
you're ready to move on to the
		

			beginning, possibly with Bacara or
to the middle of the Quran.
		

			Another great place to start is in
the middle, which contain more
		

			stories of the former prophets and
people who came before him to
		

			Sudan and also contains some of
the rules and regulations that we
		

			should live according with.
		

			Arabic is the miftah myth that for
everything and it's the key to all
		

			the Islamic sciences, so it's a
great foundation. First and
		

			foremost, it's good to read the
last chapter of the Quran in
		

			English or whatever language is
most comfortable for you. And then
		

			after that, it's good to study
whatever Arabic you can. If you
		

			study the just the letters and are
able to recite Well, there's a lot
		

			of merit in reciting the Quran.
With and without understanding,
		

			and then it also furthers your
understanding of the deen when you
		

			have the Arabic language to
understand the words of Allah
		

			Subhan Allah to Allah first and
foremost, to able to study for
		

			yourself with with a teacher in
the language that was written by
		

			the scholars, that opens other
sciences such as Tafseer with the
		

			commentary of the Quran as well.
And it gives you the ability to
		

			have access to a very rich and
vast tradition in which there are
		

			1000s upon 1000s of books written,
answering any and every question
		

			you could possibly have. But
Arabic is the key for all of those
		

			things.
