Arabic Basic Verbs – Transliteration With English Translation

No matter how many nouns you are already familiar with, Arabic sentences also require Arabic basic verbs. Even if you know how to say “school” in Arabic, what good is it if you can’t ask, “Where is the school?” Alternatively, you can pronounce Tuesday in Arabic, yet you cannot invite your buddies on a Tuesday. Fortunately, because Arabic verbs are based on a group of two, three, four, and occasionally even five (though mainly three) consonants termed as root, they adhere to the same rules as the rest of the languages’ vocabulary.

Any alterations to the vowels between the consonants and any prefixes or suffixes connected describe grammatical functions such as a person, gender, number, tense, mood, and voice. This root conveys the basic meaning of the verb.

But there is something different. You would say “I Henry” rather than “I am Henry” because there is no verb “to be” (am, is, are, etc.) in the Arabic present tense. That means there is one fewer verb to learn, at least. We hope you will soon be able to construct some sentences using this collection of these basic Arabic verbs.

It has 114 surahs/ chapters, further broken down into verses. Let’s learn about the key facts about the noble Qur’an.

Key Information & Facts about the Noble Quran

The Arabic name of the Qur’an means “reading” and “recitation.”

Since the Quran is recited aloud and melodiously, its power contains in oral recitation. To help readers memorize the holy Quran, the verses were recorded on paper and compiled into a book.

Unlike the book of Genesis, the Quran does not narrate the story of creation sequentially. The central theme of the Quran is that Allah Almighty is the one and only Lord, and Muhammad is His messenger.

The Quran does not emphasize genealogy, chronology, or historical events, unlike the Bible. Instead, it uses these events to convey the message of the oneness with Allah.

The Qur’an was revealed in segments over 23 years. In fact, a lot of verses/ passages were in response to specific occasions. These were frequently revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by the Angel Gabriel in response to skeptics/non-believers of this message. When the Prophet encountered disbelief by non-believers, he was given instructions on what to do.

What Exactly Is The Noble Quran?

In this guide, you’ll learn many answers about the Quran Majeed that beginners mostly ask. What is the holy Quran, and how is it structured? What are the main themes and styles of the holy Quran? Why should one read and memorize the holy Quran? And how can a beginner start learning the noble Quran?

The noble Quran was transmitted to us through various verbal and written channels. The- Al-Qur’an- words of Allah were revealed to the last Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by Gabriel, the Angel of Revelation. It is divinely shielded from alteration and contamination.

Allah says:

‘Indeed, it is We who sent down the message [i.e., the Qur’an] and indeed, We will be its guardian.’ (Quran 15:9)

Basics of the Holy Quran

Firstly, a beginner should understand the noble Quran and its form. The literal meaning of the Arabic term Quran is “recitation” and “reading.” Similarly, the Al-Qur’an was recited verbally and recorded in book form. Although the noble Quran is meant to be read aloud and melodiously, the verses were written down on various materials to help its memorization and preservation.

These were collected and organized in book privately and, at a later stage, institutionally. However, the true power of the Quran still lies in oral recitation. The Quran should not be interpreted as a sequential narrative like the book of Genesis because it was not intended to tell a chronological story.

The Al Qur’an frequently refers to certain chapters and themes while changing the subject matter. And it tells stories in summarized form. Two explanations are clear from this. It first has linguistic significance and serves as one of the most powerful rhetorical strategies of traditional Arabic. Second, despite its wide range of topics, the Quran’s themes are all centered on the idea that there is only one God—Allah—and Muhammad (PBUH) is His messenger.

It’s also important to remember that the Quran was not entirely revealed in one session but in parts over a period of 23 years. Many of the verses addressed particular incidents. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) frequently received Quranic revelation from the Angel Gabriel in response to queries raised by non-believers.

The Quran addresses these non-believers, the People of the Scripture (a term the Quran uses to refer to Jews and Christians), humanity in general, believers, and, finally, the Prophet himself – telling him what to do in a particular circumstance or consoling him in the face of mockery and rejection. Understanding the historical and social context of revelation makes the meaning contained in the text itself more evident.

Muslims worship/ perform Namaz to please Almighty Allah. Namaz is referred to as Salat or Salah in Arabic. Performing Salah means communicating with the Lord. Additionally, it protects a person from committing sins or other undesirable behaviors. In a hadith, our beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W) said,

“Salat is the key to heaven.”

Allah Almighty has bestowed Muslims with five times daily prayers. Muslims should offer Salah regularly to connect with Allah and to protect themselves from the misguidance of Shaitan (Satan). Muslims must pray five times daily, or else they will be punished on the Day of Judgment.

Every Salat contains a series of movements known as Rakats. Each Salat has different rakats, whether performed at home or in a mosque. We have covered all five obligatory prayers and their Rakats on this page. So let’s get started with the Namaz Names, Rakats.

Fajar Rakats (Morning Prayer)

The time for this Salat begins from dawn to just before sunrise. The two Rakats of Fajar are Fard, and the other 2 Rakats are Sunnat Mokadda making a total of four Rakats.

Although getting up so early in the morning is difficult, if you do it just to worship Allah, it will energize and lighten up the day. A hadith found in Bukhari says:

“Whoever offers the Fajr prayer, Allah will protect him throughout the day.”

Performing Fajr prayer regularly will protect you from hell. Allah also grants you blessings throughout the day and shields you from danger. Fajr prayer must therefore be offered and must never be skipped. In addition, offering the Fajr prayers also enhances Rizq.

Zuhar Rakats (Noon Prayer)

Timings for this Salat begin in the afternoon after the sun descends towards the west from the middle of the sky. It has twelve-Rakat, two-four-Rakat, and one-two-Rakat prayer.

The first four Rakats are performed as Sunnat Mokadda.
The second four Rakats are Fard.
The final two Rakats are performed as Sunnat Mokadda.
Two Rakats nafal (Nafal Namaz is not Fard but is beneficiary)

Zuhar makes up a 12 Rakats Namaz. After Namaz, additional nawafils may also be offered. Emphasizing the significance of this Namaz, in a hadith, it is stated:

“During the Zuhar Salat’s time, the gates of heaven get opened.”

Therefore, you need to offer Zuhar prayer must be offered, and perform good deeds. Allah Almighty bestows blessings on a person who performs this Salat till Asar’s prayer. Additionally, on the day of judgment, a person who performs the Zuhar Slat on time and consistently will be protected from hellfire. Remember that a person who skips any prayers will not get any reward.

Asar Rakats (Afternoon Prayer)

The time of this Salat begins halfway between noon and sunset. This prayer is a total of eight Rakats long.

The first four Rakats are offered as Sunnat Non-Mokadda.
The other four Rakats are Fard.

The Asar’s prayer begins in the afternoon and after Zuhar’s Salat. Eight Rakats total—four non-Mokadda Rakat Sunnat and four Rakat Fard—make up this prayer. If you don’t offer Non-Mokadda Rakats, there is no sin; nonetheless, praying them is beneficial.

According to a hadith,

“Whoever offers Fajr and Asar prayer will enter Jannah.”

Those who offer this salah are granted access to heaven and are shielded from hell. Numerous hadiths highlight the importance of this Salat to Muslims’ success. The Asar prayer ensures the well-being of you and your loved ones in this world and the hereafter. Performing this salah regularly will boost your Rizq and wealth.

Magrib Rakats (Evening Prayer)

The timings of this Salat begin just after sunset. This prayer has a total of seven Rakats.

The first three Rakats are Fard.
The other two Rakats are Sunnat Mokkada.
Two Rakats nafal (It is optional but is beneficiary)

Right after the sunset, the Maghrib Namaz begins; however it must be performed before the dark. Magrib Namaz/ prayer is of seven Rakats. This prayer is given high importance in the Quran and hadiths. According to a hadith in Sahi Bukhari:

“He who missed Maghrib prayer will be punished in this world and hereafter.”

The Maghrib Namaz is crucial because those who perform it receive the endless blessings of Almighty Allah and take away blessings from those who skip it.

Again, two Rakats nafal. (Nafal Namaz is optional but is beneficiary).

Isha is the day’s final prayer. After the Maghrib prayer, this prayer begins from dark till Fajr. There are 17 Rakats in this Salat. An individual who offers this prayer will be blessed till dawn, and Allah will create angles to guard the individual until Fajr Namaz. Additionally, by performing this prayer before going to bed, a person will have a peaceful night; therefore, offering this Salat before bed is beneficial.

The Six Kalimas of Islam

1. First Kalima (Tayyab):

Laaa Ilaaha Illa-llaahu Muhammadur-Rasoolu-llaah

There is none worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah

2. Second Kalima (Shahadat):

Ash-hadu Al-laaa Ilaaha Illa-llaahu Wahdahoo Laa Shareeka Lahoo Wa-Ash-hadu Anna Muhammadan ‘Abduhoo Wa Rasooluhu.

I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, the One alone, without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger

3. Third Kalima (Tamjeed):

Subhaana-llaahi Walhamdu Lillaahi Walaaa Ilaaha Illa-llaahu Wallaahu Akbar. Walaa Hawla Walaa Quwwata Illaa Billaahi-l ‘Aliyyil ‘Azeem.

Glory be to Allah and all praise be to Allah, there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and Allah is the Greatest. There is no might or power except from Allah, the Exalted, the Great One.

4. Fourth Kalima (Touheed):

Laaa Ilaaha Illa-llaahu Wahdahoo Laa Shareeka-lahoo Lahu-l Mulku Walahu-l Hamdu Yuhyee Wayumeetu Wahuwa Hayyu-l Laa Yamootu Abadan Abada. Dhu-l Jalaali Wal Ikraam. Biyadihil Khair. Wahuwa Alaa Kulli Shai-’in Qadeer.

There is none worthy of worship except Allah. He is alone and has no partner. To Him belongs the Kingdom and for Him is all praise. He gives life and causes death. In His hand is all good and He has power over everything

5. Fifth Kalima (Astaghfar):

Astaghfiru-llaaha Rabbi Min Kulli Dhambin Adhnabtuhoo ‘Amadan Aw Khata-an Sirran Aw ‘Alaaniyata-wn Wa-atoobu Ilaihi Min-adh Dhambi-l Ladhee A’lamu Wamina-dh Dhambi-l Ladhi Laaa A’lamu Innaka Anta ‘Allaamu-l Ghuyoobi Wasattaaru-l ‘Uyoobi Wa Ghaffaaru-dh Dhunubi Walaa Hawla Walaa Quwwata Illaa Billaahi-l ‘Aliyyil ‘Azeem.

I seek forgiveness from Allah, who is my Creator and Cheriser, from every sin I committed knowingly or unknowingly, secretly or openly. I also seek His forgiveness for all sins which I am aware of or am not aware of. Certainly You (O Allah!), are the Knower of the hidden and the Concealer of mistakes and the Forgiver of sins. And there is no power and no strength except from Allah, the Most High, the Most Great.

6. Sixth Kalima (Radd-e-Kufar):

Allaa-humma Inneee A’udhu-bika Min An Ushrika Bika Shay-awn Wa-ana A’lamu Bihee Wa- astaghfiruka Limaa Laaa A’lamu Bihee Tubtu ‘Anhu Wata-barraatu Mina-l Kufri Wash-shirki Wal-kidhbi Wal-gheebati Wal-bid’ati Wan-nameemati Wal-fawahishi Wal-buhtaani Wal-m’aasi Kulli-haa Wa-Aslamtu Wa-aqoolu Laaa Ilaaha Illa-llaahu Muhammadu-r Rasoolu-llah.

O Allah! I seek refuge in You from that I should ascribe any partner with You knowingly. I seek Your forgiveness for the sin of which I have no knowledge. I repent from it. And becoming disgusted of disbelief and idolatry, lying and backbiting, innovation and slander, lewdness and abomination and all other acts of disobedience, I submit to Your will. I believe and I declare that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

Reward for Reading the Whole Quran

One of the traits of a practicing Muslim is reading the Qur’an. No doubt, there are numerous rewards for reading the whole Quran. Whoever recites the Quran, Allah Almighty bestows His mercy upon him. In Surat Al-Mazamil, Allah commands His Prophet to read the holy Quran:

“And recite the Quran ˹properly˺ in a measured way.”

Uthman (R.A.) said that the Prophet (PBUH) said,

“The best of you are the ones who learn the Qur’an and teach it to others.” (Al-Bukhari)

So, every person should increase Quran Recitation as much as possible to gain these merits and other benefits.

Dr. Mohammad Qatanani, Professor at the Islamic American University and Imam of the Islamic Centre of Passaic County in New Jersey, stated while responding to a question that Reciting the Qur’an is the best act of worship after the obligations. Indeed, according to your relationship with it, the Qur’an will be a witness either for or against you.

There are a lot of Quranic verses and Hadiths that show the benefits and rewards of reading the whole Quran. Here we’ll discuss some of the benefits:

Forgiveness and Mercy From the Almighty Allah

Allah blesses His endless mercies and forgives those who recite the Quran Kareem. Allah praises those who read and recite the holy Quran saying:

“Surely those who recite the Book of Allah, establish prayer, and donate from what We have provided for them—secretly and openly—˹can˺ hope for an exchange that will never fail,* so that He will reward them in full and increase them out of His grace. He is truly All-Forgiving, Most Appreciative. He actually is Most Forgiving and All-Forgiving.”

The verse is concluded with Allah’s name, “Al-Ghafoor.” That proves that those who read the Quran will experience Allah’s mercy and forgiveness.

Multiplying the Reward

A Muslim will be rewarded for every letter he/she reads. Allah Almighty will multiply the reward of those who recite the Quran Majeed:

On the authority of Abdullah bin Masoud (R.A.), the Prophet – PBUH – said: “Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah has a reward, and every reward would be multiplied ten times. I do not say Alif Laam Meem is a letter, But Alif is a letter and Laam is a letter” Narrated by Al-Albani, in Sahih Al-Tirmidhi.

Getting the Highest Rank of Paradise

One of the rewards of reading the whole Quran Kareem is it ranks a person in Paradise. The person’s rank would be at the last verse he/she reaches.

On the authority of Abdullah bin Amr, may Allah be pleased with them both, he said: The Messenger of Allah – PBUH – said, “The one who was devoted to the Quran will be told to recite, ascend and recite carefully as he recited carefully when he was in the world, for he will reach his abode when he comes to the last verse he recites.” Narrated by Al-Albani, in Sahih Abi Dawood.

Intercession on the Day of Resurrection

One of the benefits of reading the noble Quran is its intercession on the Day of Resurrection. It has been proven that reading the Noble Quran is a reason for obtaining intercession on the Day of Resurrection.

On the authority of Abu Umamah Al-Bahili, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, PBUH, saying “Read the Quran, for it will come as an intercessor for its reciters on the Day of Resurrection.” (Muslim)

Obtaining the Rank of the Honorable Angles

By reading the holy Quran regularly, a person can achieve the rank of honorable and righteous Angles:

In another hadith, `Aaishah (R.A.) narrated that the Prophet (PBUH) said, “Verily the one who recites the Qur’an beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, he will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels. And as for the one who recites with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses, then he/she will be rewarded twice.” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Blessing in this Life and the Hereafter

One of the greatest benefits of reciting the holy Quran is to get the blessings in this life and the Hereafter:

On the authority of Abu Dharr – may Allah be pleased with him – he said: “I said: O Messenger of Allah, advise me. He said: “You have to fear Allah that is most important.” I said: O Messenger of Allah, advise me more. He said: “You should read the Quran, for it is a light for you on earth and a so much reward for you in the sky.”-Narrated by Ibn Hibban, and classed as Hasan by Al-Albani-

Youngest Quran Hafiz Fascinates Nigerians

One of the world’s youngest Muslims to memorize the Qur’an by heart is a three-year-old girl who is making headlines in Nigeria. She is the Youngest Quran Hafiz.

The girl’s mother, Sayyada Maimunatu Sheikh Dahiru, expressed her gratitude to Allah in an interview with the Sunday Tribune on February 10.

“This is indeed a blessing from Allah. I’m grateful to Allah for this.”

Rukkayatu Fatahu Umar, her daughter, memorized the Noble Qur’an when she was three years and eight months old.

The young Muslim girl first started memorizing the noble book in an Islamic school opened by a famous Sheikh named Dahiru Usman Bauchi.

According to Maimunatu, a teacher at the institution, “We were using a big parlor, which was divided into classes for the learning of the Qur’an.”

“At that time, I always carried her on my back while teaching. From there, she started reciting along with the students; she had memorized some verses before long.

“That was how she started attending memorization class. Right now, she has completed memorizing the whole Qur’an,” the proud mother said.

The holy Quran consists of 114 chapters (Surah) of varying lengths.

The young girl spent every day between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. at school, which left her little time to play with her classmates.

It is not as if she does not play with her classmates. She does, especially with those memorizing the Qur’an like her,” Maimunatu said.

“This makes it easier for them, as their focus and attention are directed towards achieving the same goal, which is memorizing the Qur’an.”

Education

The Muslim girl does not think she has memorized the Qur’an at this young age.

“I thank Allah,” she said.

The little Muslim girl is getting ready to start school shortly, defying the family’s custom of sending girls to school when they turn ten.

The mother, who herself memorized the entirety of the Qur’an at the age of 12, remarked, “My husband, however, has said that the world is changing now and that there is civilization all over the place.”

As such, our daughter will have the opportunity of going to a proper school whenever she reaches the age of six.”

The Muslim mother thanked her father for offering her daughter the opportunity to learn the Qur’an at this young age.

“I’m also grateful that I have a father like Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, who planted my feet, like other people, on the path of Islam,” she said.

“May Allah grant him longevity of life so that he will continue to serve Allah and be useful to Islam and humanity in general.”

Childhood is the best time for instilling Islamic values by teaching the holy Quran and Islamic principles. Parents are responsible for teaching their children the noble Qur’an and the fundamentals of Islam from an early age.

One of the most important ways to preserve Allah’s message is to memorize the Holy Qur’an.

The other ways are to publish and distribute the book or material online and to recite the chapter one is familiar with to others. As evident by this hadith:

“The best among you is the one who knows the Qur’an and teaches it,”

Oldest Pieces of Quran Discovered in the Great Mosque of Sanaa, Yemen

The Oldest Pieces Of Quran were discovered in the Great Mosque of Sanaa’s cellars. According to the Daily Bugün, Tayyar Altkulaç, a former Turkish Religious Affairs Director, has inspected the oldest Quran pieces discovered in Sanaa’s Great Mosque cellars in Yemen.

When the cellar door was opened, the workers discovered the Quran pieces. Why are they called pieces? Because in the early periods of Islam, there were not too many Qurans and people used to read them by cutting them into fragments. Over time, they were worn out and transmitted from one person to another.

The number of Qurans increased after writing was invented, and these fragments were compiled and stored in a place. Snakes emerged from the cellar when the door was opened. Water entered through a window in the cellar. To emphasize the discovery’s significance, Altkulaç stated that this is why some of these fragments decomposed and got dirty.

According to the daily, the holy book fragments were reportedly found during the mosque’s reconstruction works after its collapse. He said that former governors have sold out some pieces at London auction houses.

“The Quran pieces need restoration at the moment. They have been kept randomly in 20 sacks.” He said that the Yemeni Ministry of Culture was responsible for the pieces, and they needed to be handled and restored one by one.

“Some of the Quran pieces are from the companions of the Prophet Muhammed and some date back to second and third centuries. They are very important sources for the academic world,” he added.
