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.

Reward for Reading the Whole Quran

One of the traits of a practicing Muslim is reading the Qur’an. No doubt, there are numerous rewards for reading the whole Quran. Whoever recites the Quran, Allah Almighty bestows His mercy upon him. In Surat Al-Mazamil, Allah commands His Prophet to read the holy Quran:

“And recite the Quran ˹properly˺ in a measured way.”

Uthman (R.A.) said that the Prophet (PBUH) said,

“The best of you are the ones who learn the Qur’an and teach it to others.” (Al-Bukhari)

So, every person should increase Quran Recitation as much as possible to gain these merits and other benefits.

Oldest Pieces of Quran Discovered in the Great Mosque of Sanaa, Yemen

The Oldest Pieces Of Quran were discovered in the Great Mosque of Sanaa’s cellars. According to the Daily Bugün, Tayyar Altkulaç, a former Turkish Religious Affairs Director, has inspected the oldest Quran pieces discovered in Sanaa’s Great Mosque cellars in Yemen.

When the cellar door was opened, the workers discovered the Quran pieces. Why are they called pieces? Because in the early periods of Islam, there were not too many Qurans and people used to read them by cutting them into fragments. Over time, they were worn out and transmitted from one person to another.

The number of Qurans increased after writing was invented, and these fragments were compiled and stored in a place. Snakes emerged from the cellar when the door was opened. Water entered through a window in the cellar. To emphasize the discovery’s significance, Altkulaç stated that this is why some of these fragments decomposed and got dirty. Read More »
