Part I: Everyday Recitations

!
Part I: Do I Know What I Read Daily!?
This part contains meanings of commonly recited Surahs, parts of Salah, and everyday prayers (du'aas). We recite them almost daily and Insha-Allah will keep reciting them as long as we live. It is sad that many of us don't spare even a few moments to understand their meanings. (Please note that from surah 101 onwards, towards the end of this book, meanings of almost all the words of each surah are given for ease of memorization).
There are numerous benefits of working on these basics. Some of them (insha-Allah) are: • During the daily prayers, a Muslim on the average repeats about 150 to 200 Arabic words and numerous sentences. By memorizing this part, you will understand all of them. • You will feel a difference in your attention and concentration during the prayers. You will have less disturbance and whispering from Shaitan during the prayers. • And as a result, your attachment with Allah will increase during the prayers and as a whole in your life. • It will serve as an excellent starting step towards understanding Qur'aan (or this Lughat). It will make you familiar with Arabic sentence structure and some Grammar indirectly.

    In the article “Why Literature Matters,” author Dana Gioia uses several methods of persuasion to convince the audience that the decline of reading in America has had and will continue to have a negative effect on society. Gioia starts off the article with a broad statement about how younger individuals are taking less interest in the form of arts. Gioia’s inclusion of a report from the 2002 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts that shows the declining trend of interest in the arts for young Americans helps prove his point through credibility and shock value of the true results. He states that there’s “been a decline in eight of the nine major forms that were measured,” one of the most important ones in his opinion being literature.…

    In what ways are an individual's choices and actions influenced by society and government? A person’s choices and actions are a reflection of some of the greatest influences in our society and are a direct mirror of the political agendas of our government. There are many aspects in our daily life that can impact how we decide to live. There is music influence, community influence, influence from one's peers, and influence from the political leaders that have invested a lot of time in controlling the masses minds and actions. For example, if people really looked at the music that is being played on the radio and the content and lyrics that are embedded in the song, one could see why so many people in this generation find the most self destructive…

    Human rights activist and Nation of Islam leader Malcom X once said “The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses (Malcom X 1963). This claim invokes me to think about the extraordinary effect literature has had on shaping our society. I find it especially intriguing that entire countries can be ruled by the media, such as North Korea. In the communism-spread country, the media brainwashed society into thinking Kim Jong-un is a supernatural figure. Perhaps literature bridges the gap between law and morality, since it can be used to dictate what one can…

    To create the love of the Qur'an, and instil it in the children at a young age, it would help give them some tools that they can relate directly to the Qur'an. Here are some stories created around the surah names of the Qur'an. It helps in creating familiarity and some Arabic words and their meanings. It is not meant to be all inclusive of what the surahs talk of. Sometimes it links with the message of the surah, but the main aim is to get familiar with the names and the order the surahs are in.

The prophet who did lots of tawba was 10. Yunus. – the prophet who prayed while in the fish. Another prophet was 11. Hud, - whose people didn't listen to him. Then another prophet was 12.
