Lets Begin!
Another word for begin is start. The words start and begin are
synonyms. That means that these two words mean the same thing.
Often, if we see the word begin in a sentence, we can erase that
word and write the word start in its place and the sentence will still
have the same meaning. Lets try!

We seek refuge with Allaah from the shaytaan

before we begin reciting the Quraan.
We seek refuge with Allaah from the shaytaan
before we start reciting the Quraan.

Before we begin reading the Quraan, we have to make our intention.

We make our intention in our heart never out loud.
We can say that sentence the same way but use the word start instead
of the word begin. Try it!

What is The Quraan?

The Quraan is the Word of Allaah, both the words and the meaning.
Allaah spoke it in a real sense and gave it to Jibreel

the

trustworthy, and then Jibreel brought it down to the heart of the Prophet ,
so that he might be one of the warners, in a plain Arabic tongue. We know
this because Allaah says in the Quraan:

And truly, this (the Qur'aan) is a revelation from the Lord of the 'Aalameen (mankind, jinn
and all that exists), Which the trustworthy Rooh [Jibreel (Gabriel)] has brought down Upon
your heart (O Muhammad ( ) that you may be (one) of the warners {26:
192-94}

Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed it to Muhammad

piecemeal, i.e., bit by bit, over twenty-three years, in accordance with the
wisdom of Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted. Some of the revelation
was revealed for a specific reason for which it was sent down, and some of it
was revealed without a specific reason. And some of it was revealed to tell of
something that happened to the Prophet

and his companions. Some of it

was revealed concerning shari (legal) rulings, according to what the scholars
have said concerning this matter.
Adopted from the explanation given by Shaykh Muhammad al-Uthaymeen

Quraan, except surah at-Taubah,

begin reciting al-Quraan, we say alistiadah. We do not say any special
words when we finish reciting alQuraan.

Name_______________________________________

Read the story. Some sentences do not end with a punctuation mark.
Can you find and fix these sentences?

Today in Islamic Studies we learned about the Quraan. We learned that

Allaah revealed the Quraan to the Prophet Muhammad

W e also learned

that the Quraan was not revealed all at once; it was revealed over 23 years
We learned that the Prophet Muhammad

was the last messenger that

Allaah sent to mankind. After the Prophet Muhammad

, Allaah will not

send any more messengers or prophets. Finally, we learned that Allaah will
protect the Quraan from being changed in any way. I hope we learn more
abut the Quraan tomorrow inshaAllaah

The Revelation of the Quran

Our Prophet, Muhammad ibn Abdillaah

, used to love

going to spend time alone in the cave of Hiraa. He

liked to

do this even before he knew that Allaah had chosen him to be

His Last Messenger to mankind.
Once, when the Prophet
Jibreel

was in the cave, the angel

came to Muhammad and asked him

to

read. Muhammad, like most of the Arabs at that time, did not
know how to read nor did he know how to write, and he told
Jibreel I do not know how to read.

Makkee and Madanee Suwar

As you know dear student, there are 114 suwar in the Quraan. Our
beloved scholars sort the suwar into two categories: Makkee and
Madanee. How do the scholars know which suwar are Makkee and which
are Madanee?
If the surah (or most of its verses) was revealed to the Prophet
Muhammad

before his hijrah to al-Madeenah, the surah is considered

a Makkee surah. If the surah (or most of its verses) was revealed after the
Prophets

hijrah to al-Madeenah, the surah is considered to be a

Madanee surah.
Some suwar that are Makkee are: Surah Al-Alaq, Surah Al-Fajr, Surah
At-Takathur, and surah Al-Humaza. Some suwar that are Madanee are:
surah Al-Baqarah, surah Aal-Imraan, surah An-Nisaa, surah Al-Maaidah,
and surah Al-Anfaal. Knowing if a surah is Makkee or Madanee helps us
understand the Quraan better. We ask Allaah to reward our noble
scholars for sorting the suwar in this wayameen!

Makkee and Madanee Suwar

Write the names of four (4) Makkee and four (4) Madanee suwar.
