Allahu Akbar! We entered the blessed month

See how Allahهلالج لج has granted us the month of spring. SubhanAllah! SubhanAllah!

SubhanAllah! Certainly it seems that the marquee of mercy of Allah هلالج لج has been

set up with illuminating surrounding and illuminating breeze. Let Allahهلالج لج make

us be grateful for granting us such a beautiful chance and granted us Ramadhan

once again in our life. The Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص said, “If my ummat could assess the

blessings of Ramadhan, then they would wish Allahهلالج لج makes the whole year as

Ramadhan”. What sort of things that Allahهلالج لج does not grant this mankind in this

blessed month of Ramadhan! The Muslims’ faces become cheerful, peaceful and

get the shine of noor maashaaAllah. O honorable ones! Be grateful for this andmake every single moment of this month precious. I am speaking the truth that thissitting of you and me in this majlis (gathering) and hearing the Quran cannot

happen without Allah’sهلالج لج mercy. If you ask someone to spend time with you for



2

five minutes and the person sits for an hour, then you happily express, “I askedonly for five minutes and he sat for a whole 1 hr”. And so if you come to Allah’s

هلالج لج house for few minutes and Allahهلالج لج made you sit for long, then what a great

thing it is! The dearer the guest is, longer and more does Allahهلالج لج makes him sit.

The summary of the Quran

O honorable ones! Praise to Allahهلالج لج that Heهلالج لج granted us Ramadhan and also

granted us the Quran. There is a very special connection between Ramadhan andthe Quran. Alhamdulillah! Today we recited the first juzz of Quran where firstcame the Surah Fatiha . It is very difficult to give a summary of the whole Quran in

a very short time but the beauty of Quran is that one could give the summary of theQuran in two minutes when he cannot narrate the tafsir (commentary) of the Quranin the whole of his lifetime. Such a great wealth! One of the great mufassir (commentator) of Quran, Hazrat Ahmed Ali Roohaani (RA) says that if any personasks him, “O Ahmed Ali tell me the summary of the tafsir of the Quran” and thewhistle was already blown for the train to start and one of my legs is inside thetrain and the other outside, then even in this very short time, he can tell him thesummary of the tafsir of the whole Quran that the summary of the whole Quran is

to worship Allahهلالج لج, to obey the Prophetملسو هيلع هللا ىلص and to serve the creations of Allahto obey the ,هلالج لجThis is the summary of the whole Quran: to worship Allah .هلالج لج

Prophetملسو هيلع هللا ىلص and to serve the creations of Allah The summary of the whole .هلالج لج

Quran is in Surah Fatiha. The mention of Allah’s هلالج لج oneness and His هلالج لج

greatness, the risaalat (the finality of the Prophethood) of the Prophet the ,ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص

mention of life after death; the beautiful end of those who followed the commands

of Allahهلالج لج and the humiliating and disgraceful end of those who clashed against

the nizaam (governance) of Allah all these are summarized in Surah Fatiha ,هلالج لج

which has been presented in the whole of the Quran. The whole Quran iscomprised in the above five things whose summary is in the Surah Fatiha. Perhaps



3

this is why Allahهلالج لج made this to be heard and read repeatedly in every salah for

the Muslims so the summary of the Quran remain afresh in their hearts and minds.When the summary of the whole Quran is in the Surah Fatiha, the summary of theSurah Fatiha is in the “Ba” of the “Bismillaah”. The Arabic meaning of “Ba” is toconnect, which means the summary of the Quran is to connect the slave with his

Allahهلالج لج.

Surat-ud-Duaa

O honorable ones! Let the good thing happen that we get to hear some tafsir of

Quran that we hear and recite and let Allahهلالج لج so make it happen that this season

becomes a means of our connection with Allah And the one who gets .هلالج لج

connected to Allahهلالج لج will be protected from the arrows of all the distress, trials,

worries and restlessness of this world. One of the names of the Surah Fatiha is also

Surat-ud-Duaa in which Allahهلالج لج has showed the slave the method of requesting.

Praise Allahهلالج لج, exalt Allahهلالج لج, place your humility in the presence of Allahهلالج لج

and then present your maqsood (purpose) in the court of Allah And what is .هلالج لج

that maqsood? Ya Allah! Grant me the guidance. If an employer tells you to bringa letter of request when you ask him for leave, then it means that the employer iswilling to grant you leave and that is why he is giving you the instruction.

Similarly Allahهلالج لج is showing the slave the method of request which means Allah

هلالج لج is willing to offer Hisهلالج لج slave. O honorable ones! When a slave makes duaa

to Allahهلالج لج with firm belief in his heart and placing trust in Allah then Allah ,هلالج لج

هلالج لج doesn’t reject the duaa. Yes but Allahهلالج لج is Hakeem (wise). Even when a child

asks the mother for ice cream, in place of ice cream she gives an apple. Allah هلالج لج

too does like that. A slave asks for something and Allahهلالج لج grants him some other

thing because Allahهلالج لج has more ilm (knowledge), wisdom and affection than the



4

mother. A slave asks something from his point of view and Allah هلالج لج grants him

something from Hisهلالج لج own grandeur. O honorable ones! But there is one thing in

the whole world which has no replacement to be given in Jannah or in the form of

reward. If the slave asks for that thing with the real quest to Allahهلالج لج, then he will

be definitely granted. If a person asks for a son, maybe he will get a replacement inJannah, if he asks for wealth, maybe he will get a replacement in Jannah, is he asksfor health, maybe he will get a replacement in Jannah, if he asks for his own house,maybe he will get a replacement in Jannah and if there is one thing that will begranted right in this world if a slave asks with true quest is hidaayat (guidance)

from Allahهلالج لج because its replacement is only in dunya and not in the akhirat. So

if anyone seeks guidance from Allah هلالج لج with true quest, then Allah هلالج لج willdefinitely grant him the guidance. Thus the other name of the Surah is Surat-ud-

Duaa. Plead to Allah هلالج لج by praising Him exalting Him ,هلالج لج placing your ,هلالج لج

inability, dependency and neediness before Allah .هلالج لج “ihdinas siraatal

mustaqeem” – Guide me to the straight path.

Allahهلالج لج then shows the guidance. Siraatal-laziina 'an-'amta 'alay him “Do you

need guidance, then embrace the path of those who are on the straight path, uponwhom is the inaam (favor) of Allah هلالج لج and those were the Prophets, siddiqeen,

martyrs and the righteous” Embrace them and Allah هلالج لج will guide you to the

straight path. Gayril-magdhuubi 'alay him wa laz-zaaalliin. Who is maghdhuub

(those who angered Allah Maghdhood are those who had the ilm but no ?(هلالج لج

righteous deeds. Zaalleen are of that group who out of ignorance became astray.And saalih (righteous) is the one who is fortunate to have correct knowledge andalso the amal (righteous deeds). If you got such people on the earth, then it is

blessed for you got the guide, the path to paradise, the property and target of

guidance. So just hold on to them, you will find it useful. When Allah هلالج لج has

made them the means of guidance, Allahهلالج لج has also made the Allah’s Book as the



5

means of guidance in addition to the people of Allah Then comes Surah .هلالج لج

Baqarah, where in is the mention of the Book, the guide to those who fear Allah

.هلالج لج

The three groups of people

In the start of the Surah Baqarah, three groups have been mentioned. The firstgroup is of those who are successful, the group of Muslims whose characteristics

are that they believe in the unseen. Without seeing they believe in Allah ,هلالج لج

without seeing they believe in Jannah, without seeing they believe in jahannam,without seeing they believe in the life after death, without seeing they believe in

the life of Qabr, without seeing they believe in angels and without seeing they believe in the Books descended from the heaven. When this is one quality of a

Muslim believing in unseen, the other quality is that he will worship Allah هلالج لج

physically, that is he will pray salah and he pleases Allahهلالج لج through his wealth.

Allah هلالج لج mentions that these are the successful ones. Let Allah هلالج لج make the

standard of the Muslims’ success in the light of the Quran. Our standard of successis that if a person’s wishes are fulfilled more, then he has become successful. O

honorable ones! This is not so, the one who got the property of eemaan has becomesuccessful. Living in a hut or a palace, it is he who got the victory who got thewealth of hidaayat.

The second group is that of the Kuffar who out of adamancy and arrogance gotdeprived of the wealth of hidaayat. After a certain time when he himself finishes

all the qualities of hidaayat, Allahهلالج لج sealed his heart when once such people used

to be wise. Abu Jahl was once called Abul Hakam, the one who makes wise

decisions, had far sightedness, sharp in judgment but when his heart got sealed,then he couldn’t understand the miracle sent to the Prophetملسو هيلع هللا ىلص, the Quran and

became deprived of hidaayat. And the third group is that of the munaafiqeen(hypocrites) who have always become snakes in sleeves of the Muslims.Outwardly they accept Islam but have only hatred for Muslims in their hearts.



6

They wage war against the Muslims in a hidden way. This is the group that makes

fun of the deen and the people of Allahهلالج لج saying they are fools and of backward

when thinking themselves to be very intelligent and far sighted. This is the groupwhose religion and path tend to be the worldly benefits. If he gets worldly benefitthrough Islam, he raises the flag of Islam and whenever his worldly benefits fall indanger, he renounces Islam. The mention of these munaafiqeen is in many verses.

After mentioning those, Allahهلالج لج gives couple of similitude regarding them that

these people are blind, deaf and dumb and they remain in the darkness, and theycannot see or hear.

The excellence of mankind

After this is the mention of oneness of Allahهلالج لج and truthfulness of the Book of

Allah It is mentioned that even if the whole of the mankind gathers, they .هلالج لج

cannot bring a Surah like in the Quran and not just the Surah, they cannot even

bring an aayat like in the Quran. Allahهلالج لج then gives example of smallest of the

smallest creatures like a mosquito in the ayat. When a similitude is made, it ismade only in accordance with the thing compared. Based on wisdom, this world is

worth comparable only to a mosquito and only in accordance to this, Allah هلالج لج presented the similitude. Allahهلالج لج then mentions about the creation of mankind.

Allah هلالج لج gave the mankind the Khilafat in this world and granted him the

responsibility. Then Allahهلالج لج made the man as a masjood (a thing of prostration)

for the angels. Allah هلالج لج gave this honor to the man because he has in him the

ability to gain knowledge. Allah هلالج لج then mentions about Bani Israel who were

favored with countless blessings. They were also blessed with blessings in anunnatural way. But the nation was such an ungrateful nation that they repeatedly

made promise to Allahهلالج لج and His Prophet (AS) but repeatedly falsified the aayats

and broke the promise. Allahهلالج لج then debased this nation from the status of honor



7

and put them in humiliation and disgrace. Allah هلالج لج mentions that the Jews and

Christians can never be the well wishers of the Muslims and in fact they haveworst hatred towards Muslims in their hearts and have worst racist attitude towardsthem in their hearts and they never want the Muslims to progress, to flourish,ascent and gain any honor. They have lots of things in their hearts which they maynot express openly but they only wish the Muslims become Jews and Christians.

The standard of success

Allahهلالج لج asks the people of eemaan to establish salah and turn towards Allahهلالج لج

all the time. These Jews and Christians do not have unity even among them and

call each other irreligious. Allah هلالج لج mentions about Hazrat Ibrahim who

became the leader of the mankind. Allah هلالج لج put him in different trials and

tribulations but he came out from every trial victorious. Allahهلالج لج granted him the

rank of leader of the mankind. Through the hands of Hazrat Ibrahim, Allahهلالج لج

built the kaaba and by the result of his prayer brought the Prophet Muhammadملسو هيلع هللا ىلص

to this world and even the existence of this ummah is the result of the duaa of the

Prophet Ibrahim. Allahهلالج لج then brings out the task of the Prophetملسو هيلع هللا ىلص that heteaches people Quran, its tafsir and purifies people. The success of the followers of

the Prophetملسو هيلع هللا ىلص was mentioned for whoever abandons his way will go astray.

Allah هلالج لج says if we believe like Sahabahs believed then our eemaan too will

become reliable. The Sahabahs are standards when it comes to eemaan and truth.Only those who bring eemaan like them and who tread their path will become

successful. Allah هلالج لج then mentions about one of the propagandas of the Jews

about the change of qiblah of the Muslims from Bait-ul-Muqaddas to Bait-ul-Allahtowards which the Muslims started praying salah. The Jews started the propagandathat what sort of strange deen is that where people sometimes turn to that side and

this side. Allah هلالج لج replied that there is nothing in Bait-ul-Muqaddas or Bait-ul-



8

Allah but it is mainly the command of Allah هلالج لج that matters. The command was

first to turn towards Bait-ul-Muqaddas and turning towards it was the ibaadat(worship) and now the command is to turn towards Bait-ul-Allah and turning nowtowards it was the ibaadat (worship). So the real thing is about the following the

command of Allahهلالج لج and Hisهلالج لج obedience is the worship and this is calledthe

servitude.

Seek Allah’sهلالج لج help through patience and salah

The Rabbul Aalameen tells the people of eemaan that if they need His هلالج لج help

then seek through patience and prayer through which He هلالج لج grants Hisهلالج لج help.

Allahهلالج لج says not to call those who die in Hisهلالج لج path and sacrificed their lives for

Hisهلالج لج deen as dead for they are having an excellent life with Himهلالج لج for which

thousand lives can be sacrificed. Allahهلالج لج tests one by taking something from him

or granting something to him and whoever exercise patience, he attains the goaland say “inna lillaahi wa inna ilaihi raajioon”. We and everything of us belong to

Allahهلالج لج and He هلالج لج has the right to take away anything from us and when we

return to Him هلالج لج we will get the reward from Him Whoever has such .هلالج لج

patience, on him will be the shower of Allah’sهلالج لج mercy. It is mentioned that safa

and marwaa are from the signs of Allahهلالج لج. There used to be idols here before the

advent of Islam after which they became the signs of Allah هلالج لج where in Muslims

used to made duaa during “sai”.

The lowly act of hiding the truthThose people are the most unfortunate ones who for few worthless pennies hide the

truth and they have the curse of Allah هلالج لجAllah’s .هلالج لج tawheed (oneness) is then

mentioned that Allah هلالج لج is one and unique in His being and having the



9

characteristics. See the governance of the world which is run solely by Allah هلالج لج

and see Whose command runs in the wind and breeze of this world and see Who pegged the mountains on the earth and Who brought forth the fruits and grains

from the earth. Everything invites towards Allah’s هلالج لج tawheed and Power. Allahهلالج لج says, “O people eat that is pure”. Allahهلالج لج calls us towards righteousness while

shaitaan calls towards evil. Allahهلالج لج then mentions about the forbidden things that

pig is haram, the meat that is slaughtered in the name of other than Allahهلالج لج is

haram, the flowing blood is haram and animals that are dead are haram to

consume. Allahهلالج لج repeatedly mentions not to hide the truth for it is such a lowly

act to buy the misguidance in place of few worthless pennies. It is a thing of greatcourage to have patience over the punishment of Allahهلالج لج for hiding the truth for

worldly benefits. This is how Allahهلالج لج disapproves the act of hiding the truth for

worldly benefits and this is the summary of the first juzz of Quran.

Let Allahهلالج لج help us to act on what we hear, write and read. Ameen
