| All
praise is to Allaah, we praise Him, seek His aid, and ask His forgiveness.
We seek refuge in Allaah from the evils of ourselves, and from the bad
consequences of our deeds. Whoever Allaah guides there is none to take
astray, and whoever Allaah takes astray there is none to guide. I testify
that there is no God except Allaah alone without any associates, and I
testify that Muhammad This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allaah; Who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them; And who believe in the Revelation sent to thee, and sent before thy time, and (in their hearts) have the assurance of the Hereafter. [Al-Qur'aan 2:2-4] The Prophet, said in a hadeeth narrated by Bukhari on the authority of `Uthman ibn `Affan: "The Best of you is he who learns and teaches the Qur’aan." And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (i.e. the Qur'aan) to Our slave (Muhammad Peace be upon him ), then produce a Sûrah (chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allaah, if you are truthful. [Al-Qur'aan 2:23] |
