???? ????? ??????? (Al-Qur'an is a guidance
for Mankind)

• Allah says, Verily We have made Al-Qur'an EASY
  to understand and remember
• So the suggestion that Al-Qur'an is difficult
  is from shaitan! Even in your thoughts, NEVER
  agree with it and NEVER say it.
• Do we want to contradict what Allah says in the
  Quran? (May Allah forbid us!)

???? ????? ??????? (Quraan is a guidance for
Mankind)

• Allah has made His Al-Qur'an easy for us in many
  wonderful ways. For example,

  opening Surah Fatihah (which is recited everyday
  atleast 25 times in our Salaah) are found
  repeated in 7500 places in the whole Al-Qur'an!

Mankind)

  the usual dhikr words and 4 usual duaas
• are found 40,000 times in the Quraan.

YOURS!

  and its Tafseer

  session

The Problem is NOT Time or Effort,It is just
your Attitude , your Thought!

• Make it a Part of your Daily Routine Life.
• Like you eat 3 times and drink water 5-6 times.

  words, follow the Sunnah of Allah (for
  memorizing because that is the way He designed
  the brain).
• For this, adopt 2 main aids
• Vocabulary sheets Posters
• Friends (to help you and team up with)

• (20 hours for the 2 short courses 6 hours for
  each of the 30 Juzu/Paarah)
• Start A.S.A.P. (As Soon As Possible)
• When you have any way decided to learn,
• Why Delay?
