Al Qaaidatun Noor

Another place to get this book for learning to read Arabic.

Qaaidatun Noor - FatwaOnline.zipped PDF, black and white

"this book begins with the Arabic alphabet ((alif, baa, taa...)) moving on to diacritics ((fat.hah, kasrah, dhammah...)), then word constructions, ultimately leading the student to be able to read Arabic, and most importantly - the Noble Qur.aan, inshaa.-Allaah."

The Example of a Believer Who Recites Quraan

I came across this nice poster today.......

"The example of a believer, who recites the Qur’an and acts on it, is like an orange(utrujjah) which tastes nice and smells nice.

And the example of the believer who does not recite the Qur’an but acts on it is like adate that tastes sweet but has no smell.

And the example of the hypocrite who recites the Quran is like a sweet basil which smells good but tastes bitter.

And the example of a hypocrite who does not recite the Qur’an is like a colocynth(bitter apple) which tastes bitter and has a bad smell."

(Sahih Muslim and Bukhari)
