3 HADITH

4 HADITH Abdullah bin Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Truth leads to piety and piety leads to Jannah. A man persists in speaking the truth till he is enrolled with Allah as a truthful. Falsehood leads to vice and vice leads to the Fire (Hell), and a person persists on telling lies until he is enrolled as a liar". [Agreed upon].

Today’s Class

Special Cases Let us take the case where two letters of a root word are the same. Example: ضَلَّ and ظَنَّ. Please note that almost all the special cases follow the patterns of four types that we have studied so far, i.e., فَتَحَ،نَصَرَ، ضَرَبَ، سَمِعَ. For example, ضَلَّ (he went astray) follows ضَرَبَ pattern whereas ظَنَّ (he thought or believed) follows نَصَر pattern. Just practice them and you will know what it means.

تَضِلُّ ضَلَّتْ يَضِلُّ يَضِلُّونَ ضَلَّ ضَلُّوا لاَ تَضِلّ لاَ تَضِلُّوا ضِلَّ ضِلُّواتَضِلُّتَضِلُّونَضَلَلْتَضَلَلْتُمْ أَضِلُّ نَضِلُّ ضَلَلْتُ ضَلَلْْنَا 113 * ضَالّ، - ضَلَالَۃ، ضَلاَل ضَلَالَۃ، ضَلاَل c ضَرَبَ، يَضْرِبُ When practicing in Arabic, say it as if you are talking to Arabs

32 Motivational tip

33 Respond to the Verses! The (faithful) slaves of the Beneficent are they who … وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِّرُوا بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ لَمْ يَخِرُّوا عَلَيْهَا صُمًّا وَعُمْيَانًا And they who, when reminded of the communications of their Lord, do not fall down thereat deaf and blind. [25:73].

34 To be the beloved slaves of Ar-Rahmaan.. Make sure to understand the verses and take them to heart while you listen or read. So Many of us read these verses like a ‘blind’ person, i.e., read it with eyes but don’t take it to the heart. We listen to them like a ‘deaf’ person! We listen to them like a ‘deaf’ person! Years pass by and We remain the same! That is even worse!

35 If we fail to plan, we plan to fail. If we fail to plan to spend time for understanding Qur’an, we plan to remain, in a sense, ‘deaf’ and ‘blind’ for the rest of our lives! How can we respond to the verses if we don’t understand them. So, please plan for the 200 hours as soon as possible in which you can learn to understand the complete Qur’an.

36 Plan for it now…! Masha-Allah, you already took 1 step (equal to almost 10 hours) by starting this Course. Only 19 steps (190 hours) remain! Let us pray that we never stop! Without understanding: ‘Deaf and Blind’ … 20 Pondering & receiving admonition

38 Be ready for the next lesson! Allah has chosen you to learn Qur ’ an. Thank Him & don ’ t reject his selection by walking away! Don ’ t give up! سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَكَ اللهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ نَشْهَدُ أَن لاَّ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ نَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَنَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ
