Preface
We begin in the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful and seek the grace
and bestowal of His Last Proof and the Imam of our time, His Eminence, Imam al-Hujjah Ibn
al-Hasan al-Askari (a.s.).
The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.), in his famous tradition known as Hadith al-Thaqalain
(tradition of the two precious things) which is unanimously accepted by all Muslims,
irrespective of the sect they belong to, said:
َّ ُ ْ َّ َّ ْ َّ َّ ُ ُ ْ ٌ َّ
ْْت ِِت أ ْه َّل َّب ْي ِِت َّما ِا ْن ََّت َّ َّسك ُت ْم ِ ِِب َّما َّل ْن َّت ِضل ْوا َّب ْع ِد ْي أ َّب ًدا َّو َّلن َّ الث َّقلَّ ْْي ك َِّت
اب ہللاِ و ِع ِ ِا ِّن َت ِرك ِفیُك
َّ ْ َّ َّ َّ َّ َّ َّ َّ َّ َّ ْ َّ
َع اْلَّ ْوض َيدا ِ ْتقا تَح ِ يف
“I am leaving behind among you two precious things, the Book of Allah and my progeny my
Ahle Bait (a.s.), if you hold fast unto both of them then you shall never be deviated after me for
these two shall never separate from each other until they meet me at the pond (of Kauthar).”
[Al-Mustarshid Fee Imamah Ali Ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) by Muhammad Ibn Jarir al-Tabari, p. 559, H. 237]
It is our endeavour and sole aim to adhere to and propagate the teachings of Thaqalain i.e.,
the Holy Quran and the traditions of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his pure and infallible
progeny (a.s.), to the best of our ability, so that their true teachings reach the people.
1. To get acquainted with small chapters of the Holy Quran which are easy to memorise
2. To enrich the vocabulary of students with regards to these chapters
3. To know the correct pronunciation of the Holy Quran
4. To learn the benefit of reciting these chapters

the infallible Prophets (a.s.) and Imams (a.s.)
• Allah’s wrath is upon the enemies of the infallible Prophets (a.s.) & Imams (a.s.)

his pure progeny (a.s.), having faith in their commands, believing in their apparent and
concealed, Allah shall grant him for every alphabet in it a goodness; each of it is superior to
whatever is in the world from the types of its wealth and goodness. And the one who listens
carefully to a person reciting it, for him will be (a reward) one-third of the reciter. So, each one
of you must amass excessively from this goodness which is offered to you for surely it is an
opportunity whose time should not pass else (only) remorse will remain in your heart.”

Understanding The Holy Quran – Elementary
• This Surah highlights the fact that there is only one creator
• Allah is not in need of anyone and He is self-sufficient
• In Islam, we do not believe in Allah having any father or son
• Allah does not have any partner for Him and nothing can be compared to Him
“Whoever believes in Allah and the last day (Qiyaamah) then he should not forsake the reciting
Surah Tauheed at the end of every obligatory prayer for surely the one who recites it, Allah shall
gather for him the goodness of the world and the hereafter and He will forgive him, his parents
and whoever they have given birth.”

• Evil eye and curses by people do have an effect on us
• Hence, we must always seek protection in Allah from every evil

protection from every evil, it is a beneficial incantation and a protection from evil eye.”

“I wrote to Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.), ‘Teach me something which when I recite it,
I will be with you in the world as well as the hereafter.’ He says that Imam (a.s.) wrote (a letter)
in his own handwriting which I could recognise that, ‘Recite Surah Qadr excessively and moisten
your lips by seeking forgiveness.”

• This Surah teaches us that when we work to make Allah happy, Allah will help us and
grant us victory and success
• We will see that slowly and steadily other people will also join us
• When we see people joining us for the sake of Allah then we should thank and praise
Allah for it
• At the same time, we should also keep any kind of evils such as pride, arrogance or
superiority complex away from us by constantly seeking Allah’s forgiveness
“Whoever recites this Surah, he will be granted from the reward like the one who has attained
martyrdom alongside the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) on the day of the conquest of Makkah and the
one who recites it in prayers and prays through it after Surah Fateha, his prayer shall be accepted
as a best acceptance.”

• Abraha, the Ethiopian ruler, had come to attack the Holy Kaabah
• He had come with an army mounted on elephants to destroy the Holy Kaabah
• Allah sent a flock of small birds like sparrows with pebbles in their beaks
• These birds threw the pebbles on the entire army of elephants and destroyed them
• Being large in size has no value in front of Allah if a person is supporting falsehood
• Allah will cause the truth to finally prevail even if its supporters are considered few and
insignificant by the people

• This Surah was revealed about Abu Jahl and the disbelievers in Quraish
• They used to deny the religion of Islam
• As a result, they possessed negative traits such as preventing the orphans of their rights
and not feeding the poor people
• This Surah also condemns those people who recite prayers but take their prayers very
lightly such as not reciting prayers on time
• They perform good actions only to show-off in front of others whereas there is no
sincerity in their actions
• They also do not help others with wealth and necessary provisions in the house
“Whoever recites Surah Maa’oon in his obligatory and recommended prayers will be among
those from whom Allah, Mighty and Majestic be He, shall accept their prayers and fasting and
He will not take account of whatever he did in the worldly life.”

• This Surah talks about how excessive wealth in this world which is acquired through
unfair means results in a person diverting and deviating from religion
• Excessive wealth often makes a person negligent of his duties
• However, the moment a person leaves this world, he will see the result of his negligence
• Allah will not question a person about how much food he ate or the clothes he wore
• The great bounty about which people will be questioned is the love and Mastership
(Wilaayah) of Ameerul Momineen Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) and his progeny

Understanding The Holy Quran – Elementary
• This Surah talks about how the day of judgement will take place
• It shall all start with a huge earthquake
• The earth will throw up everything which it contains
• It will then converse with a man by the permission of Allah
• According to traditions of Ahlul Bait (a.s.), this man is Ameerul Momineen Imam Ali Ibn
Abi Talib (a.s.) [Tafseer al-Qummi, vol. 2, p. 433]
• On the day of judgement, people will be scattered into various groups depending on
their actions in this world
• On the day of judgement, the smallest of good and evil deeds will be accounted for
and accordingly the good doers will be sent to Paradise and the evil ones in Hell

Understanding The Holy Quran – Elementary
• Allah, the High, has taken an oath of the horses which move in the way of Allah
• They move so fast against the enemies that they gasp for breath
• Enemies feel that these horses are lighting fire when their hooves step on the stones
• These fast-moving horses raid the enemy camp at morning
• The only thing which was visible to the enemy was dust all around due to the fast
movement of their hooves
• Finally, they reached the centre of the valley in which the enemy had camped and
gained victory
• The Almighty Allah taking an oath in the name of horses actually means He pledged
by the riders of these horses who were believers who attained victory over the enemies
• This virtue which was granted by Allah to the riders was due to their leader who was
none other than Ameerul Momineen Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib (a.s.)
• This Surah was revealed concerning the battle of Zaat al-Salaasil which was won at the
hands of Ameerul Momineen (a.s.)
• Despite witnessing the victory of Ameerul Momineen (a.s.), the disbelievers denied his
mastership (Wilaayah) due to jealousy
Regarding the benefit of reciting this Surah, Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said:
َّ َّ ْ َّ َّ َّ َّ َّ ْ َّ ْ َّ
ِِم ُرفقا ِئہ ِ َع ع یم ال ِقیام ِۃ و َكن َّ َّ َّ َّ َّ َّ ُ ُ َّ َّ َّ َّ َّ َّ َّ َّ َّ ْ َّ ْ َّ
ٍ ِ ِم أدِم ِقراءُتا بعثہ ہللا تعاَل مع
“Whoever is devoted to its recitation, Allah, the Exalted, shall raise him along with Ali (a.s.) on
the day of judgement and he will be among his close aides.”
