All the praises and thanks be to Allah (SWT) with Whose
help, guidance and blessings have I been able to
accomplish this work. My sincere thanks and prayers for
my parents who afforded me the understanding of true
Islamic values. ﴾א(cid:24)(cid:23)(cid:17)(cid:6)(cid:22)(cid:18)(cid:21)(cid:2) (cid:1) (cid:20)(cid:6) (cid:19)(cid:18)(cid:14)(cid:17)(cid:2)(cid:16)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:2)(cid:1) (cid:14)(cid:9)(cid:2) (cid:13)(cid:12) (cid:1) (cid:14)(cid:9)(cid:2) (cid:11)(cid:10)(cid:9)(cid:6) (cid:8)(cid:2) (cid:3)(cid:6)א(cid:1) (cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:3)(cid:2)﴿ I whole-
heartedly thank Muhammad Irshad for the laborious
work of typesetting, and extend my sincere thanks to
Ubaid-ur-Rahman for carrying out the strenuous work
of vetting the book. I am grateful to Zeenat Ullah Khan
for proof reading of the book, as also Mohsin Manzoor
Bhatti for his forthcoming assistance.
I acknowledge with appreciation and thanks the
contribution made by my wife, Tahira Ahmed, in her
own domain. And finally I am most grateful to my
Arabic teachers, including Dr. Idrees Zubair (Al-Huda
International), Professor Abu Masood Hassan Alvi
(Islamic Research Academy), Ubaid-ur-Rahman (Vice
Principal, Institute of Arabic Language), Professor
Abdus-Sattar (Allama Iqbal Open University), and
Professor Asma Nadeem (National University of
Modern Languages), who taught me the language of
the Glorious Quran. May Allah (SWT) reward them all
with the highest reward. !(cid:14)"#א(cid:1)(cid:5)(cid:3)(cid:1)$(cid:1)%(cid:9)&א(cid:1)ن(cid:25)(cid:1)(cid:14)(cid:19)א(cid:26)(cid:27)د(cid:1)(cid:24)(cid:29)(cid:30)و

Likewise, the book of guidance, al-Quran is a divine
treasure of knowledge and a universal code of conduct in
Arabic for salvation of the entire humanity, as revealed in
the following two verses of the Holy Quran:
(cid:1) ﴾ن(cid:2) (cid:26)(cid:6)+_*(cid:18) "(cid:6) ;(cid:2)(cid:1)S(cid:6) ,_+V"(cid:2)#(cid:12)(cid:1)(cid:14)(cid:17)`(cid:16)(cid:24)(cid:2)(cid:27)(cid:2) (cid:1)(cid:14)ً(cid:19)(cid:30)(cid:24)(cid:6)/_(cid:1)^(cid:10)(cid:14)1(cid:2)#ْI(cid:2)(cid:19)(cid:6)(cid:25)(cid:12)(cid:1)(cid:14)(cid:19)(cid:15)@R﴿

for the guidance and the criterion (between right
and wrong)”. [2/185]
We can derive benefits from this divine source of
(cid:1)
knowledge and guidance only if we learn the Quranic
language. It must be clearly understood that reading of
translation of the Book is, at best, a poor substitute to
learning the Quranic language. One cannot understand the
exact meaning and the spirit of the divine revelation
without understanding the text of the Book. Infact, Allah
(SWT) has repeatedly stressed on the ponderability of His
message, which is not possible without having an insight
knowledge of the language. The following two verses
necessitate the understanding of the divine message
directly from the Arabic text.
(cid:1) ﴾(cid:5)(cid:14)g(cid:2)#ْ5(cid:12) א(cid:1)(cid:26)#_و(cid:6)(cid:25)_(cid:1)(cid:24)(cid:2)(cid:13)V \(cid:2) K(cid:2)(cid:17)(cid:2)#(cid:18)و(cid:2)(cid:1)G(cid:18);(cid:18)(cid:14)H(cid:2)(cid:30)(cid:12)(cid:1)אو(cid:6)(cid:24)(cid:10)(cid:16)(cid:15)(cid:15)%(cid:17)(cid:2)#(cid:18)(cid:1)Uh (cid:3)(cid:2)(cid:14)g(cid:2))(cid:10) (cid:1)f(cid:12) (cid:17)(cid:6)#(cid:12)@R(cid:1)^(cid:10)(cid:14)1(cid:2)#ْI(cid:2)(cid:19)(cid:6)(cid:25)(cid:12)(cid:1)(cid:5)e (cid:14)K(cid:2)(cid:13)(cid:18) ﴿
“(This is) a Book (the Quran) which we have sent down
to you, full of blessings that they may ponder over its
message, and that men of understanding may
receive admonition.” [38/29]

“Do they not then think deeply in the Quran, or are their
hearts locked up (from understanding it).” [47/24]
(cid:1)
In truth, it is the ‘Haq’ (right) of the divine message to be
recited in the best possible manner, and be understood in
the right perspective, as has been highlighted in the
following verse:

“Those to whom we have sent the Book recite it (obey its
orders and follow its teachings) as it should be recited they
are the ones who believe therein. And those who
disbelieve in it (the Quran) those are they
who are the loosers.” [2/121]
In this verse the Arabic verb ‘yatlu’, in fact, cannot be
translated in one word in any other language, which
implies ‘recitation, understanding and obeying’. This verse
has emphasized the understanding of the text of the Book
by the believers, and further added that G(cid:18)(cid:16)(cid:1)ن(cid:2) (cid:26)(cid:6)1(cid:10))(cid:18) m(cid:6)H(cid:10)(cid:1)f(cid:12) l(cid:18)#و(cid:6)(cid:25)_
‘they are the ones who (really) believe therein’, implying
thereby that, those who do not recite it as it deserves to be
recited, they do not have sincere faith in the Holy Quran.
Unfortunately, most of the non-Arab believers, particularly
the Pakistanis, do not understand the Arabic text of the
Book.
It is important for the learner to know that the Arabic is
very easy to learn as it is a highly sophisticated language
based on very refined and systematic set of rules and
patterns. This fact is confirmed by Allah (SWT) in the
following verse:
(cid:1) ﴾(cid:24)(cid:6)(cid:13)(cid:18) (cid:15)%)(cid:10) (cid:1)T(cid:6) )(cid:18) (cid:1)E(cid:6) (cid:11)(cid:2)>(cid:12)(cid:1)(cid:24)R(cid:13)ْ Q\(cid:18) +#(cid:18)(cid:1)ن(cid:2) (cid:30)(cid:24)(cid:6)*_ #ْא(cid:1)(cid:14)(cid:19)(cid:2)(cid:24)(cid:6).(cid:15) H(cid:2)(cid:1)%(cid:6) *(cid:12) #(cid:12)و(cid:2)﴿
“And we have indeed made the Quran easy to understand
and remember, then is there any that will remember
(and receive admonition)”. [54/17]
