Guidance For The Perplexed in Similar Words of The Quraan PT 2

Foreword
Anyone who has knowledge of Deen knows what a rewarding and
virtuous act it is to memorise the Noble Qur'aan, not only for the Hafiz
but for his parents as well.
Hints on
Similarities

Ustaadhul Qurraa
Janaab Qaari Banda Ilaahi Sahib
Rasulullaah is reported to have said: "The parent of a Hafiz will be

made to wear (such) a crown, the brilliance of which will outshine and
excel that of even the sun". When this is in store for the parents, one
can imagine what will be in store for the Hafiz. Rasulullaah has
mentioned in another Hadith that it will be said to the Hafiz (on the Day
of Judgement) "Go on reciting the Qur'aan and continue ascending the
stages of paradise, your final abode will be where you reach at the time
of the last Aayah (verse) of your recitation". Such are the blessings for
the Hafiz and his parents. But this is not all. A Hafiz will be honoured to
intercede on behalf of ten of his family members (who are destined to
go to Jahannam). The virtues of a Hafiz are therefore many and great.
The Qur'aan also has another special feature. Memorising it is simple
and forgetting it is not difficult. While children of young age commit the
entire Qur'aan to memory, yet after completing it, when a Hafiz tends
to neglect (the recitation of) the Qur'aan, then in a short space of time
one forgets the Qur'aan. To memorise it again becomes very difficult.
In another Hadith Rasulullaah is reported to have said, 'A Hafiz should
be careful about the Qur'aan. I swear by Him in Whose hands is my life,
that the Qur'aan escapes from the hearts more rapidly than do camels
from their strings' [Muslim]. Therefore, the Huffaadh should deem it
necessary to recite the Qur'aan daily.
It is the bounty of Allaah Ta'aala that even in today's corrupt
environment, not only young boys have the desire to memorise the
Qur'aan, but even girls have shown a keen interest to do so.
It is common amongst the Huffaadh that despite making an effort in

memorising the Qur'aan, they still get confused with the
Mutashaabihaat [similar Aayahs). The reason being that many words
and verses of the Qur'aan are linked to one another and also that the
Qur'aan describes one topic in various different ways. At times the
exact verses are repeated. When this happens it is very likely that one
gets confused whilst learning and this makes one despondent of
completing the Qur'aan.
Servant of Qur'aan and Sunan, Badr Uloom,

Chapi, Gujarat, India
Shabe Qadr, 27 Ramadhaan 1399 Hijri
Allaah Ta'aala has blessed man with two capabilities; one of

understanding and the other of memorising. If, whilst memorising the
Qur'aan, both of these capabilities are utilised, there is hope that one
will benefit. This compilation of Qaari Bandah llaahi took many years of
effort and hard work, which is actually the first of its kind. This is a
stepping stone for children especially. Generally, a child may repeat an
Aayah over and over again, and he may still be confused with the
Mutashaabihaat. If together with learning repeatedly, he also
understands that one verse is linked to another (verse), this will benefit
him greatly in memorising the Qur'aan.
One cannot claim that it will be a necessity for every child because
there are many such children who are blessed with a very good
memory. However, one cannot also profess that there is no need for it.
This compilation was presented to many of the author's companions
and thereafter it was approved (and sanctioned). One should bear in
mind (that the compilation is not a comprehensive one which includes
all the Mutashaabihaat because the difficulties experienced by many
differ. If one contemplates and understands this compilation, it will not
only assist one with the Mutashaabihaat included here but it will prove
beneficial to terminate and solve other difficulties as well. My respected
father spent many years compiling this book despite his many other
responsibilities.
In conclusion I wish to add that for explaining the various
Mutashaabihaat many verses have been abridged. May Allaah Ta'aala
accept this effort and make this a means of elevating the stages of my
father. I wish to express my gratitude to my close associates, especially
Hajee Saeed Ghorawaja for assisting in this compilation.
May
Allaah Ta'aala reward and bless him abundantly.
Muhammad Ayyoob Surti

Introduction
2. Everyone experiences difficulties in different verses. Therefore, if one

could memorise the verses paired off, he should do so and then the
remaining verses should be memorised.
It is Allaah's great special favour and bounty that He has blessed us

with the wealth of memorising the Qur'aan. He has also granted us the
ability to differentiate between the various Mutashaabihaat. This makes
it easy for us to retain the noble Qur'aan. It is my personal experience
that if a Hafiz repeatedly recites those verses which are confusing
because of its similarities, he will master the Qur'aan. Allaah Ta'aala
has blessed us in an appropriate pattern for understanding the different
Mutashaabihaat. For example:
3. Huffaadh and Asaatizah should allocate some time daily in explaining

(and teaching) the students the various Mutashaabihaat. This will prove
to be very beneficial.
The letters of the Mutashaabihaat are arranged alphabetically.

A Mutashaabihaat has a similarity with another letter in the same
chapter or verse, or
A Mutashaabihaat harkat (diacritical mark i.e Fatha, Dhamma, Kasrah)
is similar with a harkat in another chapter or verse.
It is evident that if this guide is adopted both by the Ustaadh and
student then Inshaa Allaah, Allaah will bestow (upon) them the ability
of understanding other Mutashaabihaat. Furthermore, this system has
already been approved by thousands of Huffaadh (by the grace and
mercy of Allaah). On one occasion, I happened to travel to Rander
where I had the opportunity of meeting Mufti Abdur Raheem Lajpuri
(Author of Fataawaa Raheemiyyah), who on hearing of this compilation
was very pleased and insisted that I publish this book. I was also given
an opportunity to address students of Jamiah Husayniyya after which
Moulana Islaamul Haq Sahib (Ustaadh of Hadith) also expressed his
desire that this book be published. It is because of the encouragement
(and the Grace of Allaah Ta'aala) of these two Hadharaat and many
other elders that this book was published. May Allaah Ta'aala accept
this kitaab and grant the Huffaadh maximum benefit.
In conclusion I wish to mention a few important points:
1. The examples which I have presented in understanding the
Mutashaabihaat are according to my perception. However, if anyone
finds a simpler method (of understanding the Mutashaabihaat), he may
adopt his method.
5
4. This kitaab has been prepared by taking the Hifz students into
consideration. Many are unaware of the Arabic language and (its
terminology) and many do not even understand Arabic. Therefore, it
has been simplified. Otherwise, the Arabs and the Ulema could have
established excellent methods which are in accordance with their liking.
Nevertheless, I have included different examples according to my
perception but this does not mean that the Huffaadh could master the
Qur'aan by this system only. Rather it is a stepping stone in the
memorising. If this system is introduced from the very beginning, the
question of confusion will be removed, rather it will assist the Huffaadh
in eradicating further difficulties. My son Moulana Muhammad Ayyoob
Surti Sahib (Ustaadh of Daarul Uloom Chapi in Gujarat) and my son-inlaw, Moulana Aabid Samrodi Sahib (Ustaadh - Jamiah Islaamiyyah in
Dhabel) were instrumental in compiling this kitaab. I am also very
grateful to the people of Ataaulaah who assisted in printing this kitaab,
especially Hajee Sa'eed Ghorawala who encouraged others to purchase
this kitaab and donate them to Madaaris, May Allaah Ta'aala grant all
those who assisted an abundance in their livelihood.
A last request to those who study this kitaab is that they should amend
any errors and inform us also so that we can rectify them in our future
editions. Also those who become aware of something beneficial in this
regard should enlighten us, after which we will add it to future editions
if we deem it useful.
O Allaah! Accept this kitaab and grant the Huffaadh benefit from it and
make this a means of forgiveness for me, my parents and all those who
assisted. Aameen
