Quran in a Year Flashcards
(38 cards)
The Opening
*In the name of God, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy;
Praise belongs to God, Lord of the Worlds, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy, Master of the Day of Judgement. It is You we worship; it is You we ask for help.
Guide us to the straight path: the path of those You have blessed, unlike those who have incurred anger and those who have gone astray.*
Recognition of God, asking for guidance.
Occurred anger: Jews
Gone astray: Christians
Who are the hypocrytes?
People who pretend to believe.
Do we pass on sins to our children?
No, we all have a choice. It is up to us to not follow their example.
And it works the other way as well.
When Abraham asked: And will you make leaders from my descendants too? God anwsered: My pledge does nog hold for those who do wrong.
Who are the people that will be saved?
Everyone who believes in God, believes in the last day, and DO GOOD.
You know about those of you who broke the Sabbath, and so We said to them, ‘Be apes, despised!’ We made this an example to the people of that time and to those who came after, and a lessonto all who are mindful of God.
Many people believe in this story, they were really transformed into apes. Till this day, people are being teased with: you are a descendant of the apes. This is completely rubbish.
Remember when Moses said to his people, ‘God commands you to
sacrifice a cow,’ ….
The people started to ask all kind of questions about what kind of cow.
What is the lesson here?
We should follow guidance without questioning all the time. Trust blind.
A In three places the Quran has referred to the Holy Spirit’s support of the Prophet Jesus.
Tthis is generally understood to refer to the Angel Gabriel. This is a subtle correction of the belief of many Christians, in which Jesus (the “Son”) was sent by the “Father” and supported by the third member of the Trinity called the
“Holy Spirit”.
Gabriel brought the Quran to Mohammad.
God chooses for His mercy whomever He wills.
Even if things do not make sense, have have to stay patient, and trust.
Who is Jesus
A powerfull profet send by God. Acknowledged to be the Messiah. Fullfillment of profecies. Messiah means annoited with oil.
> was born without a father, which is a miracle
was performing miracles himself, and always gave praise to God for this.
Jesus was not God, according to the Moslim community.
Jesus was as Adam
When God took Jesus away, he took Him away from suffering.
What does Islam as a religion trying to do?
Islam is following the way of Abraham in a pure way. Like a factory reset after misinterpretations of Jews and Christians.
Quran is the book in which there is no doubt.
Who is Mohammad a descendant from?
Abraham had 2 sons: Ishaq (many profets in this bloodline) and Ismael (> Mohammad)
Are we on earth to enjoy life?
Allah allows enjoyment, but it can also distract us from our purpose. We have to stay true and loyal .
Would you like me to tell you of things that are better than all of these?

Submitting to God’s demand.
Who is God in the Quran? How is He being refered to.

They will not stop fighting yu believers untill they make you revoke your faith

How does the Quran generally give guidelines?
Often it will give clear indications, but it also ussually mentions exeptions are possible. We need to tune in with Allah, and our heart.
Quran mentions the importance of the middle prayer, but no one really knows which prayer it really is. We should treat every prayer like the middle prayer? Vague on purpose?
Goodness does not consist turning your face to the East and the West
Being a rightiouss person does not mean follow tradion, culture. It means to sincerely follow Allah.
What guidelines gives the Quran about fighting?
Our enemies our not our teachers. If they stay away, dont be so bothered. If they attack, then protect your community.
It also mentions: a life for a life.
Are some people better then others?
Naturally nobody is more special. But God knows in advance who will be open for His guidance. And closes eyes and ears of those who don’t.
Alcohol and Gambling
There is great sin in bot and some benefit for people. The sin is greater then the benefit.
Women in their period
No sex. Not because women are inpure, but they are in a process.
