Juz 3 Intro:

Taqwa: story of the cop following the lady and she being aware of him and so following every rule and every turn

What if our imaan becomes sooo strong that we will be aware of every step we take every word we say every turn we take.

Taqwa =  dil ki kaifiyat

Mamara rawayya; our moods will reflect on our actions; our anger, our sorrow will show on our faces.

SO if taqwa comes in our heart : it will show on our faces and our actions

Then we wont do anything that displease Allah

The word Taqwa comes

9 times in Juz 1

17times in Juz one

After taqwa the word that come so many times is “sabr” in the first two paras

Kaamyabi ka Raaz sabr hai.

The secret to success is Patience.

Allah Addressed to bani israel 45: wastayinu bis Sabri was salat

juz 2: ayah 153: To the Muslims :……..innal Lana mas sabireen

Seek help with sabr and salat

157: give good news to the assabireen………..Qaaloo inna llilahi rajioon…wa ulaaika muhtadoon

Allah’s help comes from sabr to the guided ones

Ramadan is the month of Sabr

Saum: is abstinence and ruk Jana

For Amal we need sabr

For every hukm…..sabr

with people .. we need sabr

Loss of things, pain,sorrow … all these things affect the heart

We need to stop from negative reactions and o sabr

Ramadan gives training for sabr and taqwa

“know that for every thing you dislike  but if you do sabr for the sake of Allah, there is immense reward, and ease from Allah, wa bashiris sabireen.

JUST STOP ourself from negative thinking and negative actions.

Summary  from Juz 3 (baqarah: 252-286; AleImraam: 1-91)

1.  Surah Baqarah-Ayat 253: “Tilka… ”  Allah prefers some over some. mention of prophets; Allah knows the wisdom behind His giving preference to some over some. If we look around –this is the rule of the nature , some things are better than others; where ever we find wisdom we will take it.

2. Ayat 254:  Spend for the sake of Allah swt

3. Ayat 255: Ayat al Kursi; introduction to the supremeness of Allah swt.  Read it  morn and eve before bedtime . Hadith: whoever reads it will be saved from the whispers/shar of shayateen and jadu, and angel is appointed over him to guard him. If read after every salat, makes way for jannah. Allah’s introduction will increase our inmaan and better our actions In this ayah,, Allah’s two qualities are mentioned : Al hayy , al Qayyim – the ever living and ever.    ten jumle introduces Allah; whenever you are scared read Ayta l kursi with reflecting and sabr;                                                                        Allah ki wahdaniyaat; Allah’s authority reigns supreme; Taqwa is to accept Allah’s supremacy. Allah Himself introduces His qualities.

4. Ayat 256:  No one can be forced into the religion. Hold onto the handle of Allah swt , it will never break or let me down. Haqq and batil are seperated

5. Ayat 257:  “Allah is the Wali of those who believe , He will take them out of darknesses into the Light.”   If i do shirk, then taghut(any idol instead of Allah) will become my patron. No light , only darkness . lack of sabr leads to batil taghut and trusting the false gods instead of Allah;;; When we love Allah so much that we feel we should not say , do, think  that displease Allah

6. Ayat 258-259: When we seek only Allah’s help: an example:  Ibrahim(ra) wanted to attain peace of mind , he was the seeker of truth and gets guidance. Sometimes our thoughts and some times shaitani whispers make us doubt Allah’s doings. We too face dilemma in lot of situations, ask Allah to guide you. One wants hidayah , Allah will guide him. Whne Allah guides him , he accepts it. He accepts the badaye of Allah Nimrod did not want hidaya, just mischief, so there is no guidance for such. Nimrod has pride and arrogance and ego
7. Ayat 261: If i spend one bit for the sake of Allah , Allah swt multiplies it 700 times or more.

8.  Ayat 262-264:  Three things that waste our charities: mann, aza, riyakari.  I should not mention any favor i do or keep reminding other of my favors to them otherwise all will go to waste.

9. Ayat 263: Speak kind words and forgive those who hurt me.It is better than giving them charity and then hurting them.

10. Ayat264: If i do a favor and then keep reminding them , it is like some soil on a rock which is washed away by rain.

11. 265-267: Spend for sake of Allah and give good stuff that you would like to receive.

12. Ayat 269:what to give and when is becoz of wisdom;  Hikmah: right decision at the right time . Allah gives hikmah to whoever He wills; even giving 25 cents a day is good and multiplied if our intentions is for Allah swt

13. 271: Spending in secrecy and openly

14. Ayat 272 we willl be repaid in full

15. kow the fuqara by their marks

16. spend day and night , in public and in secrecy; give the best for Allah

17. 278-281: Taking interest is like waging a war with Allah and His Rasool saw

18. 282: Longest Ayat of the Quran. The writing process of the business contracts.  Fear Allah and write truthfully. this will save us lot of trouble , family fueds etc

19. 283: if on a journey how to do a business contract

20. 285: no distinction btwn any of the messengers.

21. Rasool and all messengers per imaan, ask for forgiveness becoz we err all the time; and when we are stressed out and know we cant handle the overload of work/stress/tests/random trials —just pray to Allah , He has shown us what to say; Rasool saw said ‘ dont make your homes graveyards-read surah baqarah in your homes’ ‘ wherever it is read it is a source of barakat, leaving to read it is a source of hasrat and magic wont have any effect on the house that it is read in.’   286: Allah does not overload us. We are tested as much as we can bear.  DUA-whoever reads these last two ayats of surah baqarah, it will suffice him. These ayats are a protection from shaitan. Hadith : Two noors from the treasures of Jannah from the door that never opened before, never before given to anyone: surah fatiha, and last two ayat  if read and made dua , the prayer/duas will be accepted.  ayat 286–“Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error, our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us ; our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us Forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Maula (Patron, Suppor-ter and Protector, etc.) and give us victory over the disbelieving/ungrateful people.”لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّـهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ ۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ ۖ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا ۚ أَنتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ

26. Ayah 14: lot of things in dunya that are a attraction but temporary; the more permanent gifts are for the muttaqoon; so we can enjoy the gifts of dunya but should not be lost in them 

27. The ‘heart of the people of taqwa is dearer to Allah’ ; Why is Allah pleased withe muttaqoon? istaghfaar : hadees : nabi saw used to ask for forgiveness 70 times a dayayah ; Ayat 15-17  Sabr, Sidq, Qinaat, Charitable , Istaghfaar at sahri;  Muttaqoon- people who fear Allah and they are content with Allah for better or worse and their qualities .Allah is pleased with with them becoz  they are humble and patient and ask forgiveness at the time of sehri and their dua: رَبَّنَا إِنَّنَا آمَنَّا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

    You cause the night to enter the day, and You cause the day to enter the night; and You bring the living out of the dead, and You bring the dead out of the living. And You give provision to whom You will without account.”

      اللَّـهُمَّ مَالِكَ الْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِي الْمُلْكَ مَن تَشَاءُ وَتَنزِعُ الْمُلْكَ مِمَّن تَشَاءُ وَتُعِزُّ مَن تَشَاءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَن تَشَاءُ ۖ بِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرُ ۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴿٢٦﴾ تُولِجُ اللَّيْلَ فِي النَّهَارِ وَتُولِجُ النَّهَارَ فِي اللَّيْلِ ۖ وَتُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَتُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتَ مِنَ الْحَيِّ ۖ وَتَرْزُقُ مَن تَشَاءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
