Fisa Authenticate Ulama's Organization

Juz 'Amma - Part 30 of the Qur'an Fisa Authenticate Ulama's Organization

INTRODUCTION The Qur'an is the Protected Word of Allah. It is protected by Allah Himself from any possibility of change, error or contradictions. It is His Word as it has no input besides His own. For Muslims it is the Basis of Islam itself, as the fundamental teachings of the din stem from this Divine source.

The last Juz' (or Para - section) is a collection of the shortest chapters of the Qur'an. While these chapters may be short in length, the depth of their verses and the forcefulness and power of their messages give this section a significance of its own.

These short chapters can be very easily learnt by people who can read Arabic as well as those who cannot. An obvious advantage of committing even a few of these to heart is that one has a portion of the Qur'an to recite in Salah, the second pillar and primary Fard act for Muslims. It is thus recommended that at least the last ten Surahs are committed to memory.

We remind the readers of the importance of the correct pronunciation of each letter and the correct recitation of all the intertwining words and passages. This is Tajwid, and it is a science which must be practically acquired. We, therefore, re-emphasise the need of learning how to read Arabic, from someone competent as this cannot be done otherwise, even with the very best of transliterations.

May Allah enlighten our lives around its wisdom.
