This document discusses the importance of understanding the Quran and provides guidance on how to do so. It notes that the number of words in the Quran is disputed but estimated to be around 77,000. It emphasizes that the most precious moments for a Muslim are during salah, when an imam recites from the Quran. However, if one does not understand the full Quran, they may miss important messages during salah. It encourages making an effort to learn Arabic and completely understanding the Quran, rather than relying on translations, so as to gain the most benefit from daily prayers and lectures.
2. Imam Jalaluddin Al-Suyuti, in his book Al-Itkan fi
Ulumi'l Qur'an said as the following about the number
of the words in the Quran:
" Words of the Quran counted as 77,934. And more has
been said like 77,437, 77,277. Reason for the dispute
about the number of words is because of the truth,
metaphor, wording and writing Rhetoric of the words.
It is permissible to consider each of them. Each of the
scholars dispute this matter, has taken each of these
reasons into consideration. 77.800 悋惠悋
With QSOFT we found 77.853 words with total root
words 1.783
3. Out of the 24 hours in a normal day, the most precious
moments for a Muslim is when he stands in front of
Allah for Salah.
Before, after, and during the Salah, I do ask Allah a long
list of things and He out of His mercy grants them too.
But how ungrateful I am that when He tells me
something through the Imam during the Salah, I stand
there as a deaf guy!
How obstinate I am that even with years passing by, I
dont try to learn Arabic!
4. Whatever I am made to listen in these Salahs is written
in my fate and is the message by Allah for me for TODAY
at that time in that Salah.
Nothing happens in this world by chance. It is not that
Imam remembered some Surah and he recited it.
5. Allah wants us to start everyday under Quranic light
(with 2 lectures in 2 Rakaahs of Fajr)
Allah wants us to end the day also in Quranic light with
4 lectures; 2 in Maghrib and 2 more in Isha within 2
hours! Perhaps because man is more prone to Satanic
temptations in the night (Allah knows best).
6. I emphasize these 3 Salah because in these Salah, Imam
may recite from any part of the Quran (and he should
try to recite from different parts of the Quran).
Consequently, if I do not understand complete Quran, I
may miss the message in any of these Salahs; simply
because Imam may recite from any part of the Quran.
I can not read translation in Salah. Most importantly, I
wont know which part of Quran the Imam will recite.
So, for all practical purposes, relying on translations for
this purpose does not work.
7. The right attitude in each one of these 3 Salahs is that I
should stand with full attention and wait for
instructions from Allah. I should try to pick up each
and every word of Allah.
And if I fail to understand, I should ask forgiveness from
Allah and re-commit myself to understanding the
Quran.
Each Salah is a continuous reminder for me to
understand Quran IN TOTAL and not just a part of it.
8. If I dont understand Quran, then everyday I loose the
message given to me in 6 lectures (two each in Fajr,
Maghrib, and in Isha).
That too, at a time when I am in the best of worshipping
mode to Allah (out of the 24 hours).
Every year, I miss the message given to me in 2000
Rakahs (plus 240 or 600 rakahs of Taraweeh).
It is equivalent to 5 EQUIVALENT rounds of Quran per
year (2 rounds in 3 Salahs of the whole year + 1 in
Taraweeh + Self recitation of at least one round per year)
9. It is true for other Salahs TOO. Whether we recite it or
the Imam recites it, every part should be understood.
It is true of our personal recitation of the Quran outside
Salah too.
Allah wants us to concentrate on certain ayahs (ponder
on small pieces of Quran) in these Salah and to have a
global view (ponder on bigger sections of Quran) in
Taraweeh.
If we dont understand Quran, a tremendous
opportunity to build the relationship with Allah is lost.
How tragic and tremendous loss it is!!!
10. If we dont understand Quran, a tremendous
opportunity to build the relationship with Allah is lost.
How tragic and tremendous loss it is!!!
Therefore, understanding Quran is not just related to
time duration when one recites the Quran at certain
time of a day. It is, in fact, related to every Salah
everyday!!!
Does that not motivate us to work quicker and faster
(almost daily) on understand Quran?
17. Kitab (Al Quran) ini, tidak ada keraguan didalamnya;
Petunjuk bagi mereka yang bertaqwa
(QS. 002.002)
Andaikata kebenaran itu menuruti hawa nafsu mereka, pasti
binasalah langit dan bumi ini,dan semua yang ada di
dalamnya. Sebenarnya Kami telah mendatangkan kepada
merekakebanggaan (Al Qur 'an) mereka tetapi mereka
berpaling dari kebanggaan itu.
(QS. 023.071)
Berkatalah Rasul: "Ya Tuhanku, sesungguhnya kaumku
menjadikan Al Qur 'an itu sesuatuyang tidak diacuhkan".
(QS.025.030)
18. Dan sesungguhnya Kami telah mengulang-ulangi bagi manusia
dalam Al Qur 'an ini bermacam-macam perumpamaan. Dan
manusia adalah makhluk yang paling banyak membantah.
(QS.018.054)
Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang memecah belah agama-Nya dan
mereka menjadi bergolongan, tidak ada sedikitpun tanggung
jawabmu kepada mereka. Sesungguhnya urusan mereka
hanyalah terserah kepada Allah, kemudian Allah akan
memberitahukan kepada mereka apa yang telah mereka
perbuat
(QS. 006.159)
Dan orang-orang yang kafir berkata: "Janganlah kamu
mendengar dengan sungguh-sungguhakan Al Qur'an ini dan
buatlah hiruk-pikuk terhadapnya, supaya kamu dapat
mengalahkan mereka"
(QS.041.026)
19. Dari Abu Sa'id Al Khudri ra., ia berkata : Rasulullah saw
bersabda: Tuhan Yang Maha Mulia dan Maha Besar
berfirnan : "Barang siapa yang sibuk membaca Al
Qur'an dan dzikir kepadaKu dengan tidak memohon
kepada Ku, maka ia Aku beri sesuatu yang lebih utama
dari pada apa yang Aku berikan kepada orang yang
minta". Kelebihan firman Allah atas seluruh perkataan
seperti kelebihan Allah atas seluruh makhlukNya".
(Hadits Qudsi, ditakhrij oleh Turmudzi).
