		<title>The beggar and the orphan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week’s question was about the wisdom behind Allaah mentioning the wasiyyah (will) before debt in the verses regarding inheritance. The answer is quite simple. The scholars say the reason for this is that if the deceased had left behind unpaid debts, there is in the majority of cases, someone who will always chase it up, namely the person who he/she was indebted to. So the debts will always be apparent and come to light. However, the requests the deceased leaves behind in his/ her will are not known except to those who have knowledge of it from the people who either have seen a written will or were given a verbal instruction by the deceased before his/ her death regarding what to do with the wealth. If these people choose not to fulfil the deceased’s requests, there is no one who will chase it up. So Allaah has mentioned it before debt in these verses to bring to the attention of the believers the importance of fulfilling the requests of the deceased regarding the left he/ she leaves behind.
This week’s question
This week’s question is from the easier examples we have given so far. In soorat adh-Dhuhaa, Allaah says:

		<title>Debts must be fulfilled first</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week’s question was concerning the order of the pronouns ‘you’ and ‘them’ in the following two similar verses from the Qur’aan:
وَلاَ تَقْتُلُواْ أَوْلاَدَكُم مِّنْ إمْلاَقٍ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكُمْ وَإِيَّاهُمْ
“….kill not your children because of poverty – We provide sustenance for you and for them….”(al-An’aam, 6:151)
وَلاَ تَقْتُلُواْ أَوْلادَكُمْ خَشْيَةَ إِمْلاقٍ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُهُمْ وَإِيَّاكُم
And kill not your children  for fear of poverty. We provide for them and for you…  (Al-Israa 17:31)
The answer to the question is: In the second aayah, Allaah says not to kill the offspring out of fear of poverty, thus letting us know that poverty is feared but they are not yet in that situation and nor are the children present. Therefore, because it is the unborn offspring that is bringing about the fear of poverty, it is befitting that they are mentioned first. So Allaah says not to fear being in poverty because of them as He is the one who will provide for them and also you.
In the second verse, the word fear is not mentioned. So this indicates that this is a situation where the children are present and poverty is a reality for the family. So the parents fear for their own lives [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the Importance of Nahw and Sarf</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while back we wrote a post on the importance of learning the Arabic language. Whilst sifting through some old notes, I found an email I wrote whilst we were in Egypt on the importance of two branches of Arabic, Nahw (Grammar) and Sarf (Morphology). Ive pasted the email below in the hope that you will all benefit from it inshaaAllaah.
NAHW: focuses on words and the harakah on the last letter of each word in a sentence
SARF: focuses on how different words are conjugated from one source and defines the harakah of every letter in a word except the last letter
How did the science of nahw come about? During the caliphate of ‘Ali ibn Abee Taalib, radhiyallaahu ‘anhu, a Bedouin man came from the desert to the town and was praying behind one of the Imaams and the Imaam was reciting soorah at-Tawbah and when he recited the following aayah:
أَنَّ اللَّهَ بَرِىءٌ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَرَسُولُهُ
And a declaration from Allah and His Messenger to mankind on the greatest day of Hajj that Allah is free from obligations to the Mushrikin and so is His Messenger. (at-Tawbah aayah 3)
Instead of reading the last word as rasoolUhu, he recited it as rasoolIhi with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do not kill your Children</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week’s question was about two verses in the Qur’aan that mention the ulul-‘azm from the Messengers and the significance of the order in which the Messengers were mentioned in the two verses. Let’s read them once again:
شَرَعَ لَكُم مِّنَ الدِّينِ مَا وَصَّى بِهِ نُوحًا وَالَّذِي  أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ وَمَا وَصَّيْنَا بِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَى  وَعِيسَى أَنْ أَقِيمُوا الدِّينَ وَلَا تَتَفَرَّقُوا فِيهِ كَبُرَ عَلَى  الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَا تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَيْهِ اللَّهُ يَجْتَبِي إِلَيْهِ مَن  يَشَاء وَيَهْدِي إِلَيْهِ مَن يُنِيبُ
He (Allâh) has ordained for you the same religion (Islâm) which He  ordained for Nûh (Noah), and that which We have inspired in you (O  Muhammad SAW), and that which We ordained for Ibrahîm (Abraham), Mûsa  (Moses‎) and ‘Iesa (Jesus) saying you should establish religion (i.e. to  do what it orders you to do practically), and make no divisions in it  (religion) (i.e. various sects in religion). Intolerable for the  Mushrikûn , is that to which you (O Muhammad SAW) call them. Allâh  chooses for Himself whom He wills, and guides unto Himself who turns to  Him in repentance and in obedience. (Ash-Shooraa 42:13)
وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ مِيثَاقَهُمْ وَمِنكَ وَمِن  نُّوحٍ وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَى [...]]]></description>

		<title>Take the time you need to perfect the knowledge of Tajweed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Advice Concerning The Qur’aan
Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman Ibraahim Muhammad (1) said, “Taking a few months, a year or even two years to perfect the knowledge of tajweed (the rules of reciting the Qurýan) should not be considered a waste of time. If you were to listen to the recitation of many students of knowledge and inviters to Islam, you would not notice any difference between their recitations  and the recitation of the normal, everyday person who does not recite the Qur’an properly!? This is a problem and shortcoming that the student of knowledge and the inviter to Islam should try to correct in the beginning of their quests for knowledge.”
(1) – See page 5 of The Explanation of Tufatul-Atfaal fee at-Tajweed by AbuAbdur-Rahman  Ibrahim Ibn Muhammad, Instructor of at-Tajweed and Various Recitations of the Qur’an at Darul-Hadith in Dammaj, Yemen

		<title>The Weight of the Qur&#8217;aan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is reported that Ibn ‘Umar – Allâh be pleased with him – said,
“We were the beginning [the heads] of this Ummah, and perhaps a man from the best of the companions of Allâh’s Messenger – Allâh’s peace and blessings be upon him – and the most righteous amongst them could maintain only one chapter of the Qur`ân or thereabouts. For the Qur`ân was weighty upon them, and they were given knowledge of it or action based on it. But the last of this Ummah will find the Qur`ân light [and easy] – the child and the non-Arab will recite it, without possessing any knowledge about it.”
Al-Harawî, Dhamm Al-Kalâm wa Ahlihî Vol. 5 p144.

		<title>The Ulul-‘Azm from the Messengers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As usual, let’s begin with answering last week’s question. Why does Allaah refer to the East and the West in singular, dual and plural form in the following aayaat:
رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَاتَّخِذْهُ وَكِيلًا
(He Alone is) the Lord of the east and the west, Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). So take Him Alone as Wakîl (Disposer of your affairs). (Al-Muzzammil 73:9)
رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقَيْنِ وَرَبُّ الْمَغْرِبَيْنِ
(He is) the Lord of the two easts (places of sunrise during early summer and early winter) and the Lord of the two wests (places of sunset during early summer and early winter). (Ar-Rahmaan 55:17)
فَلَاأُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ الْمَشَارِقِ وَالْمَغَارِبِ إِنَّا لَقَادِرُونَ
So I swear by the Lord of all [the three hundred and sixty (360)] points of sunrise and sunset in the east and the west that surely We are Able (Al-Ma&#8217;arij 70:40)
To answer this question, each aayah must be considered on its own. The first aayah from Soorat al-Muzzammil, the singular form is used because the topic of discussion is Tawheed ( The Oneness of Allaah and Monotheism). Therefore using the singular form coincides with and affirms the topic. The second aayah is from Soorat ar-Rahmaan throughout [...]]]></description>
