Asalaam Alaikum Waramatullahi Warabarakatuh,
inshallah your well,

[size=5]Drown Yourself Within Oceans Of Tafsir [using large font size is not allowed]

[size=4]Enhance, Expand And Improve Your Understanding Of The Quran[using large font size is not allowed]

Introduction

[size=3]"Drown Yourself Within Oceans Of Tafsir" is a unique study I have undertaken myself using my own motivation and initiative :sl:[using large font size is not allowed]

[size=2]I thought to myself since I'm really interested in the TAFSIR side of the Quran, why not improve my current knowledge of the Quran and go to the depths of the ocean to grab the golden jewels available. :sl:[using large font size is not allowed]

[size=2]To really know something, you must understand it FULLY right?
So to implement the Quran, you can't simply read it in Arabic!
Unless Arabic is your first language.For most of us it isn't.Even then simply reading it isn't enough so inshallah come join me in a wonderful journey to go beyond the words and unlock the treasures beneath. :j:

[size=2]I will post SURAHS in the order I've memorised them. So Surah Al-Fatihah will be first, then the Surahs from the back..
With each Surahs I will post detailed commentary and Tafsir.[using large font size is not allowed]

May Allah forgive me for any errors I make,ameen.

[size=3]Inshallah by locking down close and personal on each SURAH we will gain a BIGGER and BETTER understanding of it!
Rather then simply seeing the surface of it...[using large font size is not allowed]


:no: for reading and STAY TUNED :D

Walaycum Alaikum Waramatullahi Warabarakatuh

[using large font size is not allowed]

The SURAH contains SEVEN AYAT

SURAH contains 25 WORDS and 113 LETTERS

(Allah, the Exalted, said, `I have divided the prayer (Al-Fatihah) into two halves between Myself and My servant, and My servant shall have what he asks for.'


[ÇáúÍóãúÏõ ááøóåö ÑóÈøö ÇáúÚóÜáóãöíäó ]


(All praise and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of existence.)

Allah says, `My servant has praised Me.' When the servant says,


[ÇáÑøóÍúãóÜäö ÇáÑøóÍöíãö ]


(The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.)

Allah says, `My servant has glorified Me.' When he says,


[ãóÜáößö íóæúãö ÇáÏøöíäö ]


(The Owner of the Day of Recompense.)

Allah says, `My servant has glorified Me,' or `My servant has related all matters to Me.' When he says,


[ÅöíøóÇßó äóÚúÈõÏõ æóÅöíøóÇßó äóÓúÊóÚöíäõ ]


(You (alone) we worship, and You (alone) we ask for help.)

Allah says, `This is between Me and My servant, and My servant shall acquire what he sought.' When he says,


[ÇåúÏöäóÇ ÇáÕøöÑóÇØó ÇáúãõÓúÊóÞöíãó - ÕöÑóÇØó ÇáøóÐöíäó ÃóäúÚóãúÊó Úóáóíúåöãú ÛóíúÑö ÇáúãóÛúÖõæÈö Úóáóíúåöãú æóáÇó ÇáÖøóÂáøöíäó ]


(Guide us to the straight path. The way of those on whom You have granted Your grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your anger, nor of those who went astray),

Allah says, `This is for My servant, and My servant shall acquire what he asked for.').''

This SURAH is RECITED In EVERY Rak'ah!


BLESSING OF RECITING BISMILLAH

Further, An-Nasa'i recorded in his book Al-Yawm wal-Laylah, and also Ibn Marduwyah in his Tafsir that Usamah bin `Umayr said, "I was riding behind the Prophet...'' and he mentioned the rest of the above Hadith. The Prophet said in this narration,


«áóÇ ÊóÞõáú åßóÐóÇ ÝóÅöäøóåõ íóÊóÚóÇÙóãõ ÍóÊøóì íóßõæäó ßóÇáúÈóíúÊö¡ æóáßöäú Þõáú: ÈöÓúãö Çááåö¡ ÝóÅäøóåõ íóÕúÛóÑõ ÍóÊøóì íóßõæäó ßóÇáÐõÈóÇÈóÉö»


(Do not say these words, because then Satan becomes larger; as large as a house. Rather, say, 'Bismillah,' because Satan then becomes as small as a fly.)

This is the blessing of reciting Bismillah.


The Meaning of "[size=3]Allah[using large font size is not allowed]

Allah is the Name of the Lord, the Exalted. It is said that Allah is the Greatest Name of Allah, because it is referred to when describing Allah by the various attributes. For instance, Allah said,


[åõæó Çááøóåõ ÇáøóÐöì áÇó ÅöáóÜåó ÅöáÇøó åõæó ÚóÇáöãõ ÇáúÛóíúÈö æóÇáÔøóåóÜÏóÉö åõæó ÇáÑøóÍúãóÜäõ ÇáÑøóÍöíãõ - åõæó Çááøóåõ ÇáøóÐöì áÇó ÅöáóÜåó ÅöáÇøó åõæó Çáúãóáößõ ÇáúÞõÏøõæÓõ ÇáÓøóáóÜãõ ÇáúãõÄúãöäõ Çáúãõåóíúãöäõ ÇáúÚóÒöíÒõ ÇáúÌóÈøóÇÑõ ÇáúãõÊóßóÈøöÑõ ÓõÈúÍóÜäó Çááøóåö ÚóãøóÇ íõÔúÑößõæäó - åõæó Çááøóåõ ÇáúÎóÜáöÞõ ÇáúÈóÇÑöìÁõ ÇáúãõÕóæøöÑõ áóåõ ÇáÇøñÓúãóÂÁõ ÇáúÍõÓúäóì íõÓóÈøöÍõ áóåõ ãóÇ Ýöì ÇáÓøóãóÜæóÊö æóÇáÇøñÑúÖö æóåõæó ÇáúÚóÒöíÒõ ÇáúÍóßöíãõ ]


[size=4](He is Allah, beside Whom La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) the Knower of the unseen and the seen. He is the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. He is Allah, beside Whom La ilaha illa Huwa, the King, the Holy, the One free from all defects, the Giver of security, the Watcher over His creatures, the Almighty,the Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to Allah! (High is He) above all that they associate as partners with Him. He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor of all things, the Bestower of forms. To Him belong the Best Names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify Him. And He is the Almighty, the Wise) (59:22-24).[using large font size is not allowed]


The Difference between Praise and Thanks

Hamd is more general, in that it is a statement of praise for one's characteristics, or for what he has done. Thanks are given for what was done, not merely for characteristics.


MORE TO COME inshallah..
