ASBAB AL NUZUL
Ali Ibni Ahmad Al Wahidi
The Great Tafsirs of the Holy Qur’an project (www.altafsir.com) of the Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for
Islamic Thought, Amman, Jordan (www.aalalbayt.org) is pleased to make available for the first time ever in
English translation one of the most significant works in the branch of the Qur’anic sciences (‘ulum al-Qur’an)
known as “asbab al-nuzul” — the occasions, reasons, and contexts for the Revelation of the Holy Qur’an.
The present work by ‘Ali ibn Ahmad al-Wahidi, (d. 468/1075) Asbab al-Nuzul is the earliest and best-known representative work of this genre. For most of the Qur’an, the exact occasions and contexts of Revelation were not preserved in the historical record. However, for those that have been, the original context of the revelation of a particular verse of the Qur’an will aid the reader in better understanding the historical context of the revelation and the issues that confronted the Prophet Muhammad and the nascent Muslim community.
Such issues as the relations between Muhammad and the Jews and Christians are highlighted herein. The
reader will also discover details about the relationship of Muhammad to various individuals such as from
among the Companions and Followers, groups and tribes such as the Aws and Khazraj, and also to the
Ummah which give insight into his prophetic mission, his personal qualities and attributes — such as his
exemplary humility and generosity, his relationship to his enemies, his conduct of war, how he dealt with
false allegations of infidelity against his favourite wife ‘A’ishah, to cite but a few examples. Muslims and non-Muslims are often not aware of the occasions of the revelation of the verses when they quote verses from the Qur’an. Thus, this leads to a situation whereby verses are quoted out of context, and misapplied in order to justify violent and inhuman acts in the name of Islam. It is often suggested by those who have little or no understanding of Qur’anic exegesis that what is required is a reinterpretation of the Qur’an to meet the demands of the 21st century. Rather, it is knowledge of the history of the Qur’an’s interpretation coupled with an understanding of contemporary social and political issues which contribute to a better-informed understanding. In other words, the most pressing need as with any religious tradition or scripture, is to understand the fundamental sources particular to that tradition. Asbab al-Nuzul along with other works that appear in the Great Tafsirs series will elucidate the meanings of the Qur’anic verses.

TAJWEED
READ WITH TAJWEED
Narrated Uthman, Prophet Muhammad (
) said:
) said:
'The best among you are those who learn the Qur'an and teach it to others'
(Sahih Al Bukhari vol 6, book 61, no. 545)
Tajweed is the Science of reading Qur'an correctly.
Learning how to recite the Qur'an correctly is an obligatory act upon EVERY Muslim.
This FREE website covers all main areas of Tajweed, each one packed with definition, explanations, examples from the Qur'an, further audio explanations and practical exercises. And all pages are printable allowing you to study away from the computer or with a friend.
Aim to achieve QUALITY rather than quantity!
The ideal way in which to learn how to read with Tajweed is under the guidance of a qualified teacher so that help can be given regarding correct pronunciation and mistakes corrected. The importance of this cannot be under estimated simply because of the requirement to be heard and corrected.
The ideal way in which to learn how to read with Tajweed is under the guidance of a qualified teacher so that help can be given regarding correct pronunciation and mistakes corrected. The importance of this cannot be under estimated simply because of the requirement to be heard and corrected.
However, having said this, it is recognised that sadly there is a lack of teachers and therefore it is not always possible to study alongside one. If this applies to you, please don’t let this be the reason to discourage you from embarking upon this very rewarding goal. The bare minimum should be that we at least start to gain an understanding of the rules and make an effort to self correct our reading through listening to renowned recitors, such as Sheikh Abdullah Basfar, Sheikh Al Husari and Sheikh Al Hudaifi

THE HISTORY OF THE QURAN
By 'Allamah Abu 'AbdAllah al Zanjani
Translated from the Persian by Mahliqa Qara'i
Since the day of the Revelation of the Al Quran and its realization in the tongue of the Arab Prophet saw, all Muslims, starting from the Companions of the Prophet saw, the Tabi'un (the second generation of Muslims who saw the Companions), Muslim Ulama' and experts in the art of recitation of the Al Quran, have been showing such great care and meticulousness that was never seen for any of the heavenly Scriptures.
