Tasawwuf and Tazkiyah means Sufism of Self or the Reformation of Self in the English language. Sufi and Sheikh are its masters and a person who follows these masters are known as Mureeds. There are different opinions regarding the concept of Tasawwuf in the Arabic language. Some of them originate from the word Saff, while some others from Suffa or Soof. Saff refers to row in the congregational prayers which refers to piety of people while Safa refers to cleansing and purity.

In the Arabic language, the word Suffa refers to platform. It indicates at the residents of platform of Masjid Nabawi. These people spend and dedicate their complete life for acquiring the knowledge of religion Islam. Studying Live Quran also gives the opportunity to recite the Holy Book from your home. Tazkiyah is another word which is used for Tasawwuf. Similarly, word Ihsaan can also be used here. Some synonyms of Tasawwuf denote the principle of spiritualism and Sufism.
It is said about Tasawwuf in the Holy Quran:
“It is He who sent among the unlettered ones a Messenger from amongst themselves who recites upon them His Verses, purifies them and teaches them the Book (Qur’an) and Hikmah (wisdom). And verily, before this, they had been in manifest error.”
[Surah Jumu’ah – 62:2]

It is also true that even the word Tasawwuf or Tazkiyah was not present in the time of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H), but its practice and reality has always existed among all the Sahabas and Prophet. Tasawwuf can also be explained as the ‘total dedication’ to Almighty Allah. Although the word Tasawwuf never existed in the Holy Quran within the context, but there are lots of places in the Holy Quran where synonym of this word has appeared in different places.

The average age of a person is 50 to 60 and it’s differing from country to country. Let say you can live up to 60 year but have you thought about this would happen after those 60 years. As a Muslim we believe when this life will end after that start the real life with everlasting, at the Day of Judgment we will inquire about our actions. In hadith “Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, will take in His grip of the earth on the Day of Judgment and He would roll up the sky in His right hand and would say: I am the Lord; wbere are the sovereigns of the world?” {Book 039, Chapter 1, Number 6703: Sahih Muslim}.

Science prove that there is only one creator of world and anyone after reading the Holy Quran tell that It has not been written by a person. It is surely a message from the creator. Quran teaching and Quran learning is best practice to understand of Islam.

When a Muslim (he/she) born and come at this universe first of all azan given in his/her ear, and when he/she dies his/her prayer offered. How strange is it? The life starts form azan and end with prayer we should thought of our life. Quran told us in clear words about five pillars of Islam, Do not forget to fulfill of these, tuhid (Kalma Taiba), Namaz, fasting, zakat, hajj.

There are many vital and important events that have occurred in the history of Islam. The most significant however, is the one that can set everything in motion and can also lead to founding a major religion over some 1400 years ago. In order to understand the religion of Islam in a much better way, a person must reflect on the events that have been defined in the history and its community.

The story of initial revelations is very much told to all the Muslim children throughout the whole world and it can be a true source of inspiration for all the Muslim community. Before receiving the first revelation Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) spend a lot of time meditating in the cave Hire in Mecca. He can take provision for a lot of days and can only return when he is able to finish them. Quran Reading will tell you more about the significance of Laylatul-Qadr. Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) can reflect on its problems and his society, which include the lack of concern for the less fortunate ones like ill treatment of women, increase in decadent behavior and a concern that can lead to abuses and cheating.

In the Surah 44 of Holy Quran , Laylah-tul-Qadr is mentioned and is known as the blessed night:

“We sent it down on a blessed night, for we were sure to warn; Every matter of wisdom is made distinct in it,
By command from Us, for We were bound to send (messages);
As a mercy from your Lord, for He hears and knows (all things).” (44:3-6)

The Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) can spend lot of time in alleviating problems as he believed that these issues can destroy his core values and society. In the Holy Month of Ramadan and in the year 610 CE, Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) used to meditate in the Hira while he was visiting Jibril. Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) was very illiterate and responded that he is not at all able to read and write. It is said about the night of power.

“Angels and the Spirit descend in it.”

Numbers of Muslim consumers are increasing in the country of United States and now they have the purchasing power to start their own business. A firm based in New York has conducted research in the year 2011 on the marketplace of Muslims and found that there are lots of categories of Muslim groups and still many opportunities present in various industries like retail, finance, food in order to reach them.

With the income of between $107 billion to $124 billion, all Muslim Americans are now realizing that they can easily use their size to effect and influence the market if a business is offering the halah food, in this case all the Muslim consumers will choose business over all the other things. Apart from the daily necessities of life, Muslims are also looking for a good Quran teacher that can guide them to their religion Islam in a much better way. The Research Center of Pew has conducted a survey last year on all the Muslim Americans and it had a population of almost 2.8 million Muslims living in the United States.

Although there is a ambiguity about the exact number of all the American Muslims, but according to a consensus majority of Muslim consumers are middle class and quite young, they are also very much misunderstood. Arsalan Iftikhar is the author of magazine “Islamic Pacifism”, and he said that all the growth trend line of American Muslim is very positive and it is very good to see the increase in potential of selling products. The diverse population of U.S Muslim is very much concerned about the issues like the economy, jobs and health care.

Drinking Alcohol is strictly prohibited in Sunnah and Quran and it is said in Al-Tirmidhi: “don’t drink wine for it is the key to every evil.”

Regarding Buying and Selling of the Alcohol it is said: “Allah’s Messenger cursed ten people in connection with wine: the wine-presser, the one who has it pressed, the one who drinks it, the one who conveys it, the one to whom it is conveyed, the one who serves it, the one who sells it, the one who benefits from the price paid for it, the one who buys it, and the one for whom it is bought.”

From the above mentioned verses, it is very clear that Alcohol is strictly prohibited in Quran and Islam.

It is narrated in Muslim #4963 by Abdullah ibn Umar that the messenger of Almighty Allah said:” Every intoxicant is Khamr and every intoxicant is forbidden. He who drinks wine in this world and dies while he is addicted to it, not having repented, will not be given a drink in the Hereafter.”

According to Abu Dawood, Tariq ibn Suwayd ibn Tariq once said: ““Tariq ibn Suwayd or Suwayd ibn Tariq asked the Prophet about wine, but he forbade it. He again asked him, but he forbade him. He said to him: Prophet of Allah, it is a medicine. The Prophet said: No it is a disease.”

It is said about the drinking Alcohol: “In them is a great sin, and (some) benefit for men, but the sin of them is greater than their benefit.” And they ask you what they ought to spend. Say: “That which is beyond your needs.” Thus Allâh makes clear to you His Laws in order that you may give thought.

Surah Qaaf is a Surah which discusses the hereafter. Although it is short but it does contain some verses and Ayah which tell about the life of hereafter. A good Quran Teacher can give you better explanation about Surah Qaaf. This Surah of Mecca deals with Day of Judgment and Resurrection. It also gives a picture of final standing and scene of death. Chapter starts by mentioning Quran and the rejection of disbelievers of Messenger and resurrection.

In Name of Almighty Allah, who is the most Merciful, it is said in this Surah:

Rejection of disbelievers was obdurate and it arose from the lack of thoughts. If they had considered nature around them and thought about the act of creation of Allah, they would have realized how the specious arguments were futile. The cycle of life and death in the nature also gives the proof of resurrection and the history supports the end of those who did not follow the message of messengers.

Although the obdurate argument might win the day, but Allah has the knowledge of each and everything that is hidden in the breast of a person. A man must accept the truth before death overtakes him. There is a final standing before Almighty Allah after death and at that time there will be no argument and dispute that will prevail.

Narratives have returned to Mecca, which had warned them of destruction that happened with the nations of the past. Almighty Allah encompasses the knowledge and power that is affirmed, arguments of disbelievers are repudiated and Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) bear all their taunts with patience.

Understanding the correct meaning and linguistics of Quran is very important. Sometimes people misinterpret the information, as the event mentioned in it is different from its real perspective based on the subject matter and context of Sura. This might involve mentioning something in context while omitting another. Omitting a context or a part from the story does not mean that it was not said.

What Holy Quran does that it mentions some part of narrative which is relevant to context and subject matters. All the words in Holy Quran are selected and chosen in most perfect way, this is one of the aspect that makes linguistics of Holy Quran a miracle. After reading the context of Surat Al Baqarah and Surat Al-Araaf, a person can understand that Al Baqarah deals with honoring of Adam and his offsprings.

Surat Al-Araf is a sura that deals with admonishing man for disbelieving and also describes about the destruction of different townships. While narrating these stories, Quran has taken both these contexts into consideration. This website shows the Quranic miracle and its inimitability that lies in heart of Quran that claims to be the revelation from Almighty Allah.

When Allah Almighty mentions what the Prophet Isa(A.S) has said to his people:

And [mention] when Isa, the son of Maryam, said, “O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad.” But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said, “This is obvious magic.”

There was a lot said about the burning of Holy Quran that took place on March 20, and it has captured the attention of many Afghan people. There was a reasonable time that lies in between the burning of Holy Quran and the response that occurred because of the result of this event.

The media has finally shown some commitment regarding the integrity of Muslims beliefs and have highlighted this unfortunate incident. According to a newspaper, recent burning of Holy Quran went unnoticed in Afghanistan but after some criticism from the President, many thousands of citizens went out on street and started protesting. A good Quran School will tell you about the importance of the Holy Book of Muslims. Hamid Karzai is leader of the country. He knows that this issue is very sensitive among many Muslims.

He was also very much aware of the happening with Florida Pastor. He was accused of radicalism towards the religion Islam. He was aware of the fact that by commenting on the story and bringing the attention of people of Afghan might cause rage amongst some extremist groups. War in Afghanistan is very unpopular among the people of America. They want the rollback of American troops from Afghanistan.

Although, many people have spoken against the Invasion of Iraq and against the war on Afghanistan but unfortunately leaders of these countries do not listen to the voice of these people. Even most of the American people are against the war of terrorism and people living there are also against the burning of Holy Quran, but it is the leadership and politics that effects relations with other neighboring countries.

Allah Almighty has provided all the mankind with religion Islam. He has blessed all the Ummah with Prophets and the last messenger of Almighty Allah, Muhammad(P.B.U.H). Allah provided people with the greatest book of all the time named Holy Quran.

It is said about the Holy Quran: “Verily I have left amongst you that which will never lead you astray; the Book of Allah, which if you hold fast you shall never go astray”.

Holy Quran contains true words of Allah Almighty. The Quran turns out to be the ultimate source of guidance to all mankind till Judgment Day. Allah Almighty has glorified himself in the Holy Quran, in the Surah-e-Baqara.

As it is said about the Holy Quran in Al-Baqara: “This is the book, in it is guidance without doubt, to those who fear Allah”.

From the above mentioned verses, it becomes quite clear that Holy Book of Quran was revealed on Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) and it is a source of true guidance for all those who are searching for blessings of Allah and his guidance. It is better to join a good Quran School to understand the teachings of religion Islam. There are those who believe in the greatness of Almighty Allah and they try to understand the real teachings of Almighty Allah, such people have high value among Allah.

As it is mentioned in Al-Baqara(2:78). “And there are among them illiterates, who know not the book, but (see therein their own) desires, and they do nothing but conjecture.”

Muslims believe in the fact that Prophet Muhammad(P.B.U.H) is not the author of Holy Quran. It is said in various places in the Holy Quran that this book is written by Almighty Allah and he has taken the responsibility of its protection.

Allah is the creator of this Universe, and is the most powerful entity in the whole universe. He is the sovereign of universe. This Universe is created in seven days by Almighty Allah with word Kun, be. All the population of this world has a strong faith in the power and existence of Almighty Allah. The concept of Allah exists in different religions, but he is remembered by different names like God, Bhagban and Iswar etc.

Allah has created all mankind with love and affection, and has provided guidance for moving in the right path. There is a flawless code of life provided by Allah to man so that he can live in security and peace and this code can be found in the religion Islam. He has gifted all the mankind with the holy book named Quran. As man is the creation of Almighty Allah, therefore he always all the mankind to live in peace. The right way of living in the society is through peace and it demands a set of laws and rules that are known as the code of life.

There are two choices for a man, either he can follow the rules of creator or he can also create these rules by itself. If he follows the rules of Almighty Allah, then he is called as true Muslim. It is not possible for a man to make the flawless code of life. There are some ayahs mentioned in the Holy Quran about the existence of Holy Quran. However, some people need to dig deep to  understand about the vastness of existence of Allah Almighty.
