99 Names of Allah – Asma Allah Ul Husna English Translation

Belief in Allah is the first pillar of Imaan (faith) in Islam. As Muslims, we believe in Allah according to His lovely names and perfect attributes. In the Holy Quran, Allah frequently reveals His names for us to appreciate and comprehend who He is. We can identify the right approach to believing in Allah by learning and memorizing 99 names of Allah.

Indeed, learning the names of Almighty Allah and living by them is one of the great blessings. If we don’t know who He is, how can we expect to love, worship, fear, and trust our Lord, The Almighty Allah?

Therefore, it is an obligation upon every Muslim to learn about Allah (SWT) and follow his words (the holy Quran).

Allah says in the Quran:

Allah! there is no god but He! To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. (Qur’an 20:8) Read More »

Manners And Etiquettes of Reading The Holy Quran

The Holy Quran is the holiest and most sacred book in the world among the scriptures. This heavenly Manuscript was revealed upon the final Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in parts over 23 years. It stands out from all other books because it contains the words of the Almighty Allah and is a source of divine guidance for Muslims and non-Muslims. The Holy Quran manners are important. Unlike other books, the Holy Quran is unique, sublime, and perfect in every manner.

Since it is the words of Allah Almighty, it must be read and recited with proper manners and etiquette. Typically, elders know the manners and etiquette of reading the Holy Quran, but younger children must be taught how to read the Noble Quran with its proper etiquette. Read More »

Quran Learning Course for Women and Girls

As part of the Dar Al Ber Society’s innovative scheme with the Humaid Bin Rashid Al Nuaimi Centre for Quran Service, a number of girls between the ages of eight and sixty enrolled in a Quran learning course. Dar Al Ber (a non-profit organization in UAE) helps women between the ages of eight and sixty with the revision of holy Quran memorization.

At Shaikh Zayed Mosque in the Al Jurf Area, a session was held to help students in revising their memorization of the complete Quran throughout Ramadan. This course registered up to 102 female memorizers from Ajman and Sharjah.

Another program in the emirates of Dubai, Ajman, and Ras Al Khaimah has up to 259 students registered. Students received diplomas upon completion of the program, and certain teachers have been granted accreditation to teach Quran according to the Hafs and Shuaba Rewayas, or recitation schools.

Surah Kausar Or Al-Kauser – Transliteration and English Translation

Surah Kausar is the 108th Chapter/ Surah in the noble Qur’an and has just three verses, making it the shortest chapter of the Quran Kareem. “Kausar” means “abundance, bountiful, plentiful or a river or lake in paradise.” This Surah was revealed before the Prophet Muhammad’s (SAW) migration to Medina when the Prophet (PBUH ) was facing oppression and hardships from the Quraish and the inhabitants of Makkah, particularly from non-believers in the early stages of the prophethood while preaching Islam.

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and a small group of His companions could not see a significant change or success because the entire nation had turned against him with extreme resistance and hostility from all sides. Before the revelation of Surah Al-Kausar, Allah had sent down various verses to console and uplift him at the death of His son.
In Surah Ad- Duha, it was said: “And surely the later period (i.e. every later period) is better for you than the former period, and soon your Lord shall give you so much that you shall be well pleased.”
Such were the conditions in which Allah by sending down Surah Al-Kauthar consoled the Holy Prophet as well as foretold the destruction of his opponents. Read More »

Arabic Basic Verbs – Transliteration With English Translation

No matter how many nouns you are already familiar with, Arabic sentences also require Arabic basic verbs. Even if you know how to say “school” in Arabic, what good is it if you can’t ask, “Where is the school?” Alternatively, you can pronounce Tuesday in Arabic, yet you cannot invite your buddies on a Tuesday. Fortunately, because Arabic verbs are based on a group of two, three, four, and occasionally even five (though mainly three) consonants termed as root, they adhere to the same rules as the rest of the languages’ vocabulary.

Any alterations to the vowels between the consonants and any prefixes or suffixes connected describe grammatical functions such as a person, gender, number, tense, mood, and voice. This root conveys the basic meaning of the verb.

But there is something different. You would say “I Henry” rather than “I am Henry” because there is no verb “to be” (am, is, are, etc.) in the Arabic present tense. That means there is one fewer verb to learn, at least. We hope you will soon be able to construct some sentences using this collection of these basic Arabic verbs.

Muslims worship/ perform Namaz to please Almighty Allah. Namaz is referred to as Salat or Salah in Arabic. Performing Salah means communicating with the Lord. Additionally, it protects a person from committing sins or other undesirable behaviors. In a hadith, our beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W) said,

“Salat is the key to heaven.”

Allah Almighty has bestowed Muslims with five times daily prayers. Muslims should offer Salah regularly to connect with Allah and to protect themselves from the misguidance of Shaitan (Satan). Muslims must pray five times daily, or else they will be punished on the Day of Judgment.

Every Salat contains a series of movements known as Rakats. Each Salat has different rakats, whether performed at home or in a mosque. We have covered all five obligatory prayers and their Rakats on this page. So let’s get started with the Namaz Names, Rakats. Read More »
