NAMES OF THE SURAH

1. AL FATEHA

- THE OPENING

- This surah OPENS the door to the Quran and all its treasures.

- Fatha is open and Muftah is key.

- We “OPEN” our salah; our day with this surah.

* 1 minute goal accomplished! When do you “OPEN” this treasure?

Baqarah The cow

“But I am not an animal, I am a human being!”

Okay, then ... find your identity in this surah. We have been given distinct identity, traits, a way of thinking etc. Best of all, we have been taught names; taught to read and write; and we certainly know how to talk languages.

But this surah is about “cows”?!

Yes, I agree. And cows can’t do any of this, yet humans worship(ed) them!!!!!!!!

Ali’Imran Family of Imran

- A family just like we all have a family.

- Talking about family, we do love them.

- We are one and yet different from one another.

- Best thing about families, we eat together.

- We work hard for that meal on the table.

An-Nisa’ The Women

A reminder for the Head-of-the-Household, your women are important part of your family.

- The family you belong to and often take pride in.

- You are not complete without them.

- You have rights over them and they have been given rights over you.

- Take care Y’all.

Al-Ma’idahThe Table Spread

- All that family talk made me hungry.

- Want yummy food!

Al-An’aamThe Cattles

- All the yummy goodness is them :p

- We have to take care of them as well.

- It is good food

- It’s a good ride

- It’s make good workers in the field

- Prophets worked as shepherds taking care of them and earned their living.

- Yup! And they would take them in open lands for food and water, and some walk. Sometimes they would go hiking.

Al-A’raf The Heights

- Talk about hiking, I wonder what one would find going to heights?!

- A refreshing atmosphere

- A view, a perspective...

- I wonder what one may find when they are at higher grounds?!

Al-’AnfalThe Spoils of War

- What goes up, must come down.

- Something for “Show and Tell”.

- Hope for success.

At-TawbahThe Repentance

- Errors, mistakes, sins, fear of unknown...

- Just make repentance

- And ask for “Help”!!!

- Ask Allah Alone.

YunusJonah

- Talking about repentance, Jonah’s repentance is the most renowned repentance in the history of mankind.

- From his experience and story we learn a great deal about hope and hopelessness; personal struggles; value and hope in the life Allah has given us.

- Allah gives and gives and ....

- And accepts our repentance

- Our only true hope.

- Whether it's day or night, or we are stuck under layers upon layers of darkness

Hud Hud

- Nation of Hud is another example of people who don’t care and don’t ask for repentance.

Yusuf Joseph

- Sweet young lad goes through “some” trouble with:- Siblings

- Bullied by people

He knows Allah made him smart, He becomes poised.

He listens, he learns fast, he works hard and he perseveres.

In the end, finally his brothers ask for his forgiveness, for treating him badly.

Moral from Yunus, Hud, Yusuf’s stories.... Better to repent and ask for forgiveness before it’s too late.

Ar-Ra’dThunder

- Wake-Up Call!

Ibrahim Abraham

- And then There was Ibrahim (a), a remarkable young man, then a distinguished Prophet.

- He had exceptional qualities.

- He was a leader

- He was Hanif-um-Muslimah

- Our forefather (wow!)

Hijr The Rocky Track

- Finding the purpose of life

- Going on an expedition

- We may find ourselves alone on the path, But Allah’s guidance and assistance is always available.

An-Nahl The Bee

- Bees have an important job though they may be tiny insects.

- Pure honey comes from their hard work

- Allah Azza wa Jal says that He created everything with a purpose.

- So then, shouldn’t we try our best to serve our purpose and goals in this life?

Al-Isra The Night’s Journey

- But I thought everyone sleeps at night!

- True

- However there are some special bees that have to take on night-shift work.

- It is also true that we take extra precaution going out at night.

- Night’s journey is special, and rare.

- Prophet (s) took one journey at night, Al-Isra wal M’iraj.

Al-Kahf The People of the Cave

- The people of the cave also took on foot, a night’s journey.

- An amazing true story of young men.

- Two more fascinating stories in this surah.

Maryam Mary, mother of Esa (a)

- One courageous, pious young lady

- She was a great family, family of Prophets.

- Her son, the famous child born as a great miracle from Allah.

- A child without a father! Allah says. {“Be” And it is.}.

- Allah swt tells us in this surah that Adam’s birth was a miracle too as he was born without a mother or a father. Moreover, his wife, Hawwa (Eve) was born out of Adam’s ribs!!! Peace be upon them all.

- This is more shocking a truth, a reality. Then, why do people associate Esa as a son of God??!!!!! Do Not Anger Allah, The One God, Creator of all with blasphemy.

Taha - Encrypt Ta-Ha if possible, but no one can except the one Allah

grants knowledge to.

- Prophets are among special people who had been granted immense knowledge and wisdom, and some special powers.

-

Al-Anbiya’The Prophets

- Chosen people with a special message from God, Al-Mighty.

- They had the toughest job a human being can ever have.

- They approached their people to worship Allah alone.

- Be just, do good, think and reflect on their actions because those people had become extremely corrupt.

- Prophets mentioned in this surah:

-

Al-HajjThe Pilgrimage

- The Hajj we know about is required to do ones in a lifetime if applicable.

- It is for our complete purification, a 10 day opportunity

- A chance to set our priorities straight.

- Meet people from all walks of lives and so much more.

- The life of prophets (Al-Anbiya’)
