Transcripts
online yes

screen in
person okay let's start inshallah
alhamdulillah ald
okay online students just let me know if
you can hear me
clearly I'm just
shifting the
computer a little bit
here okay let me know if my sound is
clear all right so uh we are starting
with inshah Surah faat so first of all
welcome to the second session of Quran
journaling and this is something new
that we are doing this time right so we
are going to journal the Quran you you
will be taking notes and then you will
be putting it into a journal online
students YouTube um you'll be writing it
nicely beautifully and you know just
like how when the girls do journaling
they decorate it and you know you write
things on pieces of paper so what I want
you to do is in this class yes I want
you to take notes but I want you to also
um you know note down things that really
inspire you when we do these suras we're
going to go low and slow we're not going
fast so it's not like you're in a r is
to write down everything right and I
want you to actually reflect deeply on
the Quran because the whole point of
introducing Quran journaling is for us
to connect to the book of Allah because
usually we read the book we recite it in
our prayers or we read it and we don't
connect to it the way it should be
connect we should be connected so I want
all of us to feel inspired when you
listen to the Quran when you know what
is the meaning of the suras that you Rec
right we are inshallah not going to do
very long suras first of all we don't
have much time it's just half an hour
class and we are inshallah going to do
the common suras that are recited either
memorized or generally recited regularly
because of their merits right like Surah
FAA of course we're starting with that
and then we'll do maybe other suras like
Surah kah or something which is recited
every Friday or other suras which you
know are regularly the prophet told us
to recite so the whole idea of Quran
journaling is to connect to the book of
Allah that is the whole idea and when
I'm explaining I want you all to
actually apply these things in your life
for example if I'm talking about how
much Allah loves you then think about it
how much does Allah love me what has he
done for me and then think about how
much do I love him what have I done for
him and anything that maybe strikes
maybe hits of course there there certain
main points are mentioned on the slide
so the you can use these headings which
are on the slide but other than that any
point that really hits you and inspires
you make a note of that because you'll
be putting that in your journal and then
inshallah make a really really nice
Journal work hard on it uh from time to
time I'll be asking you to show it and
I'll see it and at the end of the year

okay the
window B are we having Quran class right
now yes we
are okay I've given mic access to
everyone online so you can speak
okay so shall we start the very first
Surah that we are going to start with
is this is in the first of the Quran so
as you can see on the
slide F do you know what is the meaning
of the word Al
fa
Al the opening yes it comes from F which
means to open right
the door wanted to actually represent
opening can you imagine and I'll tell
you something I was just thinking to
tell you the meaning of father they had
opened the door and it automatically
opened my God power of
thought this is weird I hope there are
no invisible beings around here well
it's fine as long as they're Angels it's
fine we don't want the
Gins it's amazing I was just thinking
and before you said the opening I was
thinking let me I'll do this and then
I'll open the door and it just open okay
anyway sorry online students we are just
a little bit amazed because as soon as
we said FAA is opening the door opened
and no one opened it it opened by itself
so angels are helping us alhamdulillah
all right so FAA means the opening now
can you think and tell me why is this
called the
opening because it is the first Surah of
the Quran very good so it opens sort of
starts the Quran any other reason anyone
can think of why is this called f there
is a reason why it was given this name
right just like when you were born your
parents named you something and there is
a thinking behind it they didn't just
name you randomly they they named you
with a thought behind it so what do you
think could uh be any other reason why
this is called FAA
think think and note it
down I hope you're noting down all that
I said yes online students
anyone why do you think this is called
Al
fa it's the first Surah like we okay
give me some other reason this reason
has already been given the
first yes it's also like a
Dua so what does Dua have to do with
opening not like it's an it's like in
the Surah it's meaning it's like we're
praising Allah subhana wa
taala okay but what does that have to do
with opening my question is why is this
Surah called the
opening okay I can think of one okay can
you think of something else this Surah
starts the Quran what else does it
start um prayer yes so it is also called
opening because it starts the prayer the
first Surah you recite from the Quran in
your prayer is
whatd so this Surah is called Al faat
because it starts the Quran note it down
it also is called fa because it starts
the
prayer
right and also this Surah sort of opens
the other suras because this Surah is a
summary of the entire Quran after this
Surah all the suras are explanation of
FAA Surah Bak is explaining Surah FAA
all the suras are explaining it right
sorry
[Music]
just okay so this is why this Surah is
called Al FAA now if you can see on the
screen this sur's different titles are
mentioned can you see here it isul Quran
it's called the mother of the Quran this
is one title of the Surah Quran another
one isab mother of the book and
obviously the book is referring to the
Quran right similarly this Surah is also
called a
shifa shifa means cure this Surah gives
cure to any any disease whether physical
or spiritual that you're facing the
sahaba used to recite Surah faat to be
cured of diseases so this Surah is also
called
shifa this Surah is also called Rya do
you know what is
Rya Rya is done when um a person let's
say um a person is being a uh affected
by certain negativities or by certain
evil then Rya is recited that means
parts of the Quran are recited to free
that person from that evil so this Surah
is also called AR right and this Surah
is also
called the repeated
seven repeated seven because there are
seven ayat in this Quran in this Surah
and this Surah is repeated over and over
again right like we were discussing in
the last class how many times do we
recite Surah faat in the F
prayer yeah 17 times and then if you
include Sunnah and waj and everything it
literally adds up to maybe 40 or
something you can do the calculation so
it is very often repeated seven vers
verses there are seven verses of Surah
fa in the Quran these are all different
titles I hope you've noted it down write
it in your Journal Quran mother of the
book uh mother of the Quran it's also
called what's the second
title umab mother of the book what's the
third title
a cure what's the four
title yes
Zena right freeing yourself from Evil
and the repeated
seven
[Music]
okay which
one oh
sorry means
seven and means
online students are you noting this down
for your
Journal yes yes okay so these are the
different titles the suras of the Quran
can have other names and titles also I
told you at least 1 2 3 four five five
names or titles for Surah fa okay this
Surah is the most most important Surah
without this Surah your prayer is not
valid okay and this Surah is also
called orul Quran mother of the book or
mother of the Quran why do you think
this is called
mother the reason it is called mother is
because it comes first okay it's that
that's also the reason why it's called
Al faat but the reason it's called
mother is because it's come first first
because the mother always comes first
before the child right so these are all
beautiful titles given to this Surah by
Allah subhana tala through the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam all of this
is mentioned in the Hadith right and
this Surah the prophet wasam
said every prayer has to be recite fat
has to be recited in it otherwise that
prayer is invalid right so that is how
important it is the beautiful thing
about this Surah is actually it is a
dialogue and a conversation between
Allah and us and I will tell you how it
is a conversation literally I think
after today's class when you recite Sur
fa you'll get goosebumps because you'll
actually feel like Allah is talking to
you right you will actually feel how
this Surah is related and connected to
us
personally you can come here you can sit
next to
B yes what was the meaning of AA and Ria
shifa means
cure okay and Ria also sort of means
cure you can say cure for RIA
also
okay
yeah Ria is the cure for negative uh
things right like negativeness
yes when a person is Afflicted with NE
negative energy when they're Afflicted
with Gins when they're Afflicted with
black magic one of the suras which are
recited is Surah faat many other ayat of
the Quran are recited to free the person
of these things but this is definitely
recited right so it helps to remove the
negative energy from you right
and it means they repeated often recited
seven ayat of the Quran right okay so
this is Surah fa now what did I say this
Surah is
a conversation with who between Allah
and us personally every single one
between Allah and me between Allah and
you right now obviously we cannot hear
Allah subhana tala inshallah we'll hear
him on the day of judgment right but
Allah T has revealed the Quran one of
the Miracles of the Quran is even though
we are reciting it it's still feels like
Allah is speaking to us that's somehow I
don't know I don't have any logic for it
but it is the words of Allah right so
even if I am reciting it in my voice of
course you cannot hear Allah in his
voice in this world but even if I am
reciting it in my voice I know this is
these are the words of my Lord and
actually this is his message he's
talking to me so that is a beautiful
thing right or even if a Kari a reciter
is reciting the Quran you feel like
Allah is speaking to you because these
are the words of Allah just the voice of
a
human and you will uh maybe I don't know
how many of you understand this but
literally many people are cured just by
listening to the recitation of the Quran
in general and byah faat I know
personally of people who are cured of
any like I said negative energies like
black magic and Jin and also cured of
physical and mental diseases just by
recitation of the Quran andah fa because
Allah T has kept some effect in the
recitation of the Quran and when and
many of times certain kis certain
reciters their recitation has more
effect like once Maman was telling us
ban was telling us that a certain Ki his
recitation of Surah Rahman you know K
abdulbasit have you heard of him he's a
very very very famous Ki from Egypt so
um the recitation of Kari abdulbasit
that particular reciter of the Quran of
Surah his recitation of Surah Rahman has
cured many people of diseases so even
certain reciters have something in their
voice that when they recite the book of
Allah it has certain effect and that
effect heals you it even heals you of
physical disease and this is no joke
this is true try it out or you can we
can find out baj herself has told us
this right so this is also the reason
why the Surah is called shifa so this
Surah is a dialogue between us and Allah
subhana tala Allah is speaking to us
basically Allah tal has revealed all
these books all these ayat right but
Allah tala is telling us how we respond
to him so he's sort of telling us what
we should say also when I start with the
Surah you will see that alhamdulillah
praise be to Allah Allah is teaching Us
Praise me with these
words
then you do we worship and only you we
seek help from now obviously Allah is
not telling us that heah worships right
Allah is worshiped he doesn't worship so
uh what is he doing he's teaching us the
dialogue he's teaching us you say this
so Allah tal does not leave you alone he
actually teaches you what to say when to
say how to say it so in this Surah he's
teaching us a Dua he's teaching us the
dialog the words you should use to
communicate with him this is amazing can
you imagine and you have this treasure
you have this Surah to be able to learn
the words and recite it so many times in
a day so many times in a day that
literally it's you are actually saying
it to Allah although it's Allah's words
so I want us to get this feeling when we
recite Surah fa and inshallah when I
start with the Ayah and what they mean
and the translation you will see it's a
beautiful communication between us and
Allah okay so we it's almost 6:00 we're
going to end here does anyone have any
questions how are you doing hadya you
attended the first session no oh why not

Sur F's importance being
as coming first as a mother what was
that point the it is called mother of
the Quran because it comes first right
in the beginning just like a mother
comes before her
child the mother exists first and then
the child exists
right okay so it's called mother of the
Quran because it comes first okay

forab also yeah the same reason forab
