YUSUFALI: It is He who sends down rain from the sky: from it ye drink, and out of it (grows) the vegetation on which ye feed your cattle.

COMMENTARY


This concludes Juz 14 shortly we will be going onto Juz1-Juz 13 as for the number of posts it will be the shortest segment done. However, the amount of work and reading will be the longest section. Be certain to pace your self and do not take on more than you can handle. Slow and easy is the best approach. W are not in a race.

[Woodrow LI]

Because the surat in these Ajiza are the longest in the Qur'an each contains a Surah that begins in the proceeding Juz


Juz’ 1 – Al Fatiha 1 – Al Baqarah 141 (1:1-2:141)

For that reason I am going to post all thirteen Juz first and begin addressing the individual Surat after Juz one. I will begin with Juz 13 on this page and then post 3 Ajiza on each of the next 4 posts.

[Woodrow LI]

Before we go into the individual Surat let us go over a few things.

Definitions:

Surat (Plural of Surah)

The individual revelations. Each was given separately. Although they are often called chapters they are more like Books.

Ayyat:

A single line in a Surah. It should be remembered that nearly always a single ayyat is not a stand alone thought or statement. Quite often it is necessary to read a number of them together to get the entire thought or meaning. You should view each ayyat as if it were just one word in the full sentence.

Juz

A group of Surat or parts of them arrainged to provide about one hour of reading. The Qur'an is divided into 30 Ajiza (Plural of Juz) Most of then contain Surat that are related in some manner to each other.


We must keep in mind there is no specific required order in which to read the Qur'an. each surah is a separate revelation. The only exception is that any time we begin a new reading of the Qur'an we should read Surah 1 first to help keep us focused on our intent for reading. for non-Arabic Readers it is usually best to begin reading with the shorter Surat such as any after number 95. this will give an introduction as to how a Surah is constructed and get you familiar with reading several Ayyat together and not as an independent thought.

We will be looking over some of the longest surat in the Qur'an. Set your pace accordingly. These Surat contain some of the most misunderstood ayyat especially in Surat 2-3-5 and 9. Partially because the surat are long and partially because people fail to read them in relation to the ayyats before and after each one. I also recommend looking at the commentaries for each of these Surat. Mainly for the purpose of learning when and where each was revealed and the conditions at the time it was revealed. this should help in getting a better understanding of them
