Surah
Al-Qiyamah 75: - (The Resurrection)
With the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful
Yes,
We are able to reset (even) his fingertips perfectly. [4]
COMMENTARY:
Another reason why Banan 'fingertips' finds a special mention
is that Allah has characterized every human body with some
identification marks through which one person could be distinctly
recognized and distinguished from the other. For instance,
the human face is no more than a few square centimetres; yet
it has such distinctive characteristics that no two faces
look exactly alike.
Despite
man's tongue and throat being alike, the sounds and voices
of young and old, and of men and women are easily distinguishable.
Even more amazing than this, are the fingertips and fingerprints.
No two thumbprints or fingerprints are alike.

TILAWAH
By Khuram Murad
---------------
Tilawah is the word that the Qur'an uses to describe the
act of its reading. No single word in English can convey
its full meaning. 'To follow' is closest to its primary
meaning. To read is only secondary, for in reading too,
words follow each other, one closely behind the other, in
an orderly and meaningful sequence. If one word does not
follow the other, or if the sequence and order is not observed,
the meaning is destroyed.
So, primarily, Tilawah means, move closely behind, to go
forward, to flow in a sequence, let go in pursuit, to take
as a guide, leader, master, a model, to accept the authority,
to espouse the cause, to act upon, walk after, practice
a way of life, to understand, to follow the train of thought
- or to follow. Reading the Qur'an, understanding the Qur'an,
following the Qur'an - that is how those who have any right
to claim faith in it relate themselves to it.
Tilawah or recitation is an act in which your whole person,
soul, heart, mind, tongue and body—participates. In short
your whole existence becomes involved. In reading the Qur'an,
mind and body, reason and feeling lose their distinction;
they become fused. As the tongue recites and words flow
from the lips, the mind ponders, the heart reflects, the
soul absorbs, tears well up in the eyes, the heart quakes
and trembles, the skin shivers and softens just as the heart
does, there no longer remains any duality between the two,
even your hair may stand on end. And 'so he walks in a light
from his Lord ... that is God's guidance, whereby He guides
whomsoever He will' (al- Zumar 39: 22-3).
To read the Qur'an thus, as it deserves to be read, is not
a light task; but nor is it too difficult or impossible.
Otherwise the Qur'an could not have been meant for laymen
like us, nor could it be the mercy and the guidance that
it surely is. But obviously it does entail much travail
of heart and mind, soul and intellect, spirit and body,
and requires that certain conditions be observed and obligations
be fulfilled - some inwardly, some outwardly. You should
know them all, now, and endeavour to observe them before
you enter the glorious world of the Qur'an.
Only then will you reap the full harvest of blessings that
await you in the Qur'an. Only then will the Qur'an open
its doors to you. Only then will it let you dwell inside
it and dwell inside you. Nine months spent in the womb of
your mother have transformed a drop of water into 'you'
- hearing, seeing and thinking. Can you imagine what a lifetime
spent with the Qur'an - seeking, hearing, seeing, thinking,
striving - can do for you? It can make you into an entirely
new 'being' - before whom even angels will feel proud to
kneel. Ascending at every step taken within the Qur'an and
every moment spent therein, you will reach towering heights.
You will be gripped by the power and beauty that breathe
and move within the Qur'an.
From Abdullah Ibn 'Amr Ibn al-'As: The Prophet, Allah's
blessings and peace be on him, said, 'The companion of the
Qur'an will be told: recite and ascend, ascend with facility
as you used to recite with facility in the world. Your final
abode is the height you reach at the last verse you recite'
(Abd Da'ud, Tirmidhi, Ahmad, Nasa'i).

a long-handled tool into a measuring stick! Lay a long-handled
garden tool on the ground, and next to it place a tape measure.
Using a permanent marker, write inch and foot marks on the
handle. When you need to space plants a certain distance apart--from
just an inch to several feet--you'll already have a measuring
device in your hand. |

| A THOUGHT |
THE
PRESENCE
---------------
If thou strive every moment to reach the Presence, thou
shall be honoured with the words 'Adore, and draw nigh’.
With
all thy foolish thoughts thou hast worn out thy original nature.
0 thou that sleepest, if thou be wise, close the door to thy
desires. Great is the greed in the heart of Adam's son and
great the perplexity in which he wanders around the world.
In
the eyes of the traveler along the Road all the goods of this
world are not worth a single grain.
Fie upon these fly-eating spiders like so many vultures engrossed
in carrion!
Fie upon these ant-like talebearers, all of them like ants
guideless and lost!
Fie upon the greed of that crowd of bone-eaters, all of them
doglike in nature and akin to rats!
Greed
has a bridle on thy head; it is to thee as the halter to the
camel. Put thy trust in the Provider; be calm and patient.

THE
WISE OLD MAN
-------------------
An older, white haired man walked into a jewellery store
one Friday evening with his old wife at his side. He told
the jeweller he was looking for a special ring for her.
The jeweller looked through his stock and brought out a
R5,000 ring and showed it to him. The old man said, "I
don't think you understand, I want something very special."
At
that statement, the jeweller went to his special stock and
brought another ring over. "Here's a stunning ring at
only R40,000," the jeweller said. The old man's wife's
eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement.
The
old man seeing this said, "We'll take it." The jeweller
asked how payment would be made and the old man stated, by
cheque.
"I
know you need to make sure my cheque is good, so I'll write
it now and you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds
and I'll pick the ring up Monday afternoon," he said.
Monday
morning, a very teed-off jeweller phoned the old man. "There's
no money in that account." "I know", said the
old man, "but can you imagine the weekend I had? |
