This Surah was the last complete Surah revealed to our Prophet (SAW).

This Surah indicates that our Prophet SAW had fulfilled his task, accomplished his mission, and he could look forward to returning to his Lord in full favour, as his death was approaching fast.

This Surah teaches the beautiful manners of:

asking for Allah’s forgiveness and

offering constant praise and thanks to our Lord.

Learning Tip

Make a Team – and get 4 Extra Rewards Hadith:

The Prophet pbuh said: “No people assemble in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it among themselves, without:

ما اجتمع قوم في بيت ”يتلون كتاب هللامن بيوت

ويتدارسونه بينهم هللا :إال

Make a Team – and get 4 Extra Rewards Hadith:

…without:

– tranquillity descending upon them,

– Mercy (of Allah) covering them,

– the Angels surrounding them, and

– Allah making mention of them in the presence of those near Him.''

[Muslim]

:إال نزلت عليهم السكينة ‒

وغشيتهم الرحمة ‒

وحفتهم المالئكة ‒

“فيمن عنده هللاوذكرهم ‒

Benefits of Group Study …

Everyone is a Student

And a ‘Teacher’! ...(وعل مه)

Regularity (you remind each other)

Shaitaan is weaker on a group, but stronger on individual… makes him leave within 3, 4 days

… Benefits of Group Study…

Weaker student gets support from others

Environment helps (even of sounds)

Encouragement (if he can do it, why can’t I)

Spirit of Competition

Benefits of Group Study

‘Home team’ is good, but not enough

Have separate teams: for men, for women, for boys, and for girls

Introduction خالصاالة ور س

Revealed in the early Period of Mecca

The name of the Surah “Al-Ikhlaas”- means “The Purity”, thereby whoever recites it with understanding and belief, his ‘Imaan’ becomes pure.

This is an answer to the people who ask, “To which Lord do you worship?”

Points

Sunnah of Prophet SAW to recite once after every obligatory prayer and three times after Fajr and Maghrib Prayers.

Sunnah of Prophet SAW to recite in the the Sunnah prayers of Fajr and Maghrib

This is a perfect description as to which entity could be worthy worshipping

Equals to 1/3rd of Qur’an

Message from:

Ask: O Allah! Help me to make You alone as the true God and to obey You alone.

Evaluate: How many times have I obeyed my ‘Nafs’: (أفرأيت من ات خذ إلهه هواه)

How many times obeyed Shaitan? (أال تعبدوا الشيطان)

Why? Because of friends, TV, Internet…..

Message from:

My heart should be filled with His Greatness and His High Position.

O Allah! Please be enough for me (Ex: Someone says he has 1,000’s of jobs … and you are jobless)


Practice with imagination; feelings & prayer

Imagine the future also… and fill your heart with awe and respect and love

To say that Allah has a son (Isa A.S.), is absolutely wrong

{4} أحد كفوا ،ولم يكن ل ه


And (there) is not


Message from:

One should have such a feeling that nobody is equal or comparable to Him in any way regarding:

Entity Attributes Rights Powers of Allah


And (there) is not


Message from:

Evaluate: Is there anybody whom I am afraid of? Do I expect some benefits from someone else? Do I think that someone is more powerful than Allah

O Allah! you be enough for me.


And (there) is not


Message from:

Neither there is a partner of Allah nor he has any relations.

There is no partner of Allah in his Qualities (Like no one knows the unknown)

There is no partner of Allah in his Rights (Worshipping Allah alone)

There is no partner of Allah in his Powers, (All the laws should be from Allah)

We should not only propagate this but also correct the wrongs.

We are required to plan for these.

Lessons from Surah

Story of a companion of Prophet SAS

he used to recite Surah Ikhlaas in every rakah of Salah

When he was asked why he does so, he said because I love this Surah.

Prophet SAS said, “Your love for it will admit you to Jannah.”

Recite it with Love

Example: Your relative!...

Allah is my creator, provider, whom I love, and He is my Mohsin!! Why not I remember him continuously?

And there is no one like my Rabb, and there will not be.

Feel the greatness and love of Allah, when you recite this Surah

Plan to propagate the oneness of Allah

5. Think Big and Colorful

6. Learn with Love and Enthusiasm 7. Learn the Meanings with an Example

Tip No. 8: Repetition

Whatever you Learn … you Forget! Therefore, you need to Revise.

REVISION is a Must!

But the ‘System of Revision' is more important.

If you learn 100 things …

you forget 70% after an Hour!

If you Revise after an Hour, then you get them back, AND IT STAYS LONGER (FOR 1 DAY).

But by the end of next DAY…

you forget 70% again after one DAY!

If you Revise after 1 DAY, then you get them back,

AND IT STAYS LONGER (FOR 1 WEEK). But by the end of the WEEK…

you forget 70% again after one WEEK!

… and so on …

If you revise after 1 Week,

you remember till 1 MONTH

If you revise after 1 MONTH,

you remember till 6 MONTHS

…

Therefore, to ensure that you don’t forget, you should do…

1st Revision: After one Hour

2nd Revision: After one Day

3rd Revision: After one Week

4th Revision: After one Month

5th Revision: After one Semester (6 months)

To implement this, for learning Qur’an
