3. HADITH

4. Hadith
`Abdullah bin `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:  Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said that
Allah, the Glorious, said: "Verily, Allah (SWT) has ordered that the good and the bad deeds be written down. Then He explained it clearly how (to write): He who intends to do a good deed but he does not do it, then Allah records it for him as a full good deed, but if  he carries out his intention, then Allah the Exalted, writes it down for him as from ten to seven hundred folds, and even more.

5. Hadith
But if he intends to do an evil act and has not done it, then Allah writes it down with Him as a full good deed, but if he intends it and has done it, Allah writes it down as one bad deed".

18. قواعد – Grammar Show the rules first.
We will use all our senses. It is called TPI or TPR. It really enhances the learning. And note that this is not limited to these 6 pronouns. It has much more to do with all the verb forms that we will learn.

31. Motivational tip
Get more images of right and left brain; and the quadrants; use them all. (color – highlighter, color pens).

32. Qur’an can not be translated
Example (I have to pick another langauge! So, I take an Urdu couplet here – of just 4 words):
Kaise kaise aise waise hogaye
Aise waise kaise kaise hogaye
If this can not be translated, how can Qur’an be?
How how this that became
This that how how became!!!
When human composition can not be translated, then how can Allah’s words be?
Tranlsation is what a human (whoever he is) understood from Al-Qur’an and expressed in his language.
That is why we don’t find much force..

33. You get the message but… Qur’an is Arabic Qur’an only!
Meaning what?
Even if you have read 100 translations of the Holy Qur’an, in simple terms you have not read it at all !!!
You get the message but…
Qur’an is Arabic Qur’an only!
Example: If an English person says: How great the poetry of Allama Iqbal is! I will ask: Do u understand Urdu? And if he says no!

34. Please note that…
We are not negating the rewards (10 rewards for each letter recited)
Not decreasing the value of translation
We will learn Arabic through the translation only.
But translation is not the destination!
It does not amount to degrading translations because for us translations are THE BRIDGE to reach Qur’an. MAY ALLAH REWARD THOSE TRANSLATORS WHO MADE IT EASY FOR US TO REACH TO AL-QURAN. But they are not our goals.
Doesn’t mean that once you understand this way, you reach that level immediately. But you will surely enter a new world.

35. Special effects of Arabic verses
10 rewards for each letter
Many spiritual affects of the verses and surahs.
“Spiritual voltage” of the Qur'an that penetrates deep into the heart.
1000 hrs of lecture is not as powerful as even 1 ayah (if heart is ready).
Qur’an is the Word of Allah; Translations are works of humans. They do contain the message but they are not the words of Allah.
You can not have that level of spiritual voltage in any translation.

Purpose of revelation is: Tadabbur & Tazakkur.
This should be done in Arabic Aayaat because Qur’an is in Arabic only.
But Allah says that He has made is EXTREMELY EASY!
And He is asking: Is there anyone? WE should say: O ALLAH! Here we are! We want to understand and learn. (Check-Plan-Propagate).

37. Clarification This is KG course of Salah & Qur’an
I am a Qur’an KG teacher.
You are KG students (except Qur’an scholars sitting here).
It helps us understand the basic message. Not to interpret Qur’an or give Fatwas.
The only thing that I have added is new teaching styles based on modern research.
