Al-Qaidah An-Noraniah

Al-Qaidah An-Noraniah

Furqaan Bookstore, a division of Al-Furqaan Foundation, would like to introduce you for the first time in America and Canada the latest four products based on Al-Qaidah An-Noraniah.

Al Qaidah An Noraniah is the only authentic method that teaches how to read the Holy Quran by Tajweed in an attractive method especially for kids. If your child starts at age 4 years old, by age 6 he will be able to read the Holy Quran by Tajweed if he practised An-Noraniah for 15 minutes everyday.

Check out our page on Al-Qaidah An-Noraniah here.

Ramadan: The Month of Quran

Ramadan: The Month of Quran

As Ramadan looms ahead, we would like to give the simple reminder that the Messenger (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) will complain to Allah on the Day of Judgment that his people neglected the Qur’an (Surah al-Furqan 25:30). Neglect of the Qur’an is of different levels, as Ibn al-Qayyim writes:

  • not reciting or listening to it;
  • not studying and understanding it;
  • not conveying its message;
  • not judging by it in personal and communal matters, at all levels of society;
  • not believing in it.

“The month of Ramadan is the one in which the Quran was sent down, a guidance for mankind, clear proofs for the guidance, the Criterion; so whoever amongst you witnesses this month, let him fast it.” (Surah al-Baqarah 2:185)

Ibn ‘Abbas narrates “that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) was the most generous person, and he would be at his most generous in Ramadan because Jibril would come to him every night and he would rehearse the Qur’an with him.” (Sahih al-Bukhari).

Ramadan is a time to reconnect with the Quran. We leave you with a lecture delivered by Shaykh Omar Baloch titled “Are You a Ramadan Mu’min?”

Reflections on the Qur’an (Surah Fatihah & Baqarah) by Irfan Ahmad Khan

Reflections on the Qur’an (Surah Fatihah & Baqarah) by Irfan Ahmad Khan

1612This book is an effort to understand the Qur’an with a modern mind. These reflections see the Divine Book as encountering the situation we face today – guiding the present-day world which it sees as being on the verge of destruction, due to its neglect of the Hereafter and prevalent lordship of Man over Man.

Every Qur’anic surah(chapter) is a complete discourse with perfect systematic coherence. The author’s aim is that the readers should be able to develop such a familiarttiy with the Divine Text as enables them to percieve how variuos themes within a surah are organized to highlight the basic insight of the surah. Obviously, it needs training and excercise.

The main book is composed of a study of al-Faitha and al-Baqarah. For the purpose of study, al -Baqarah is divided inot thirty-six sections. Every sectin is followed by study notes or reflections of very different lengths. There are eighteen notes on al-Fatiha and six hundred and thirty-nine on al-Baqarah.

You can get a copy of the book here.
