    BismillahirRahmanirRahim.

    Assalamu’alaikum Wr. Wb.

    Dear student of the Noble Quran,

    It gives me great pleasure to share with you High Frequency Words from the Quran and its wisdom everyday.

    Previously you’ve learned 36 High Frequency Words from the Quran, yesterday’s HFW being (أَهْل) . The HFW you will learn today is repeated for 131 times in the Quran. As of today you’ve learned 37 words from the Quran. Collectively these words are being used for 3625 times in the Quran! MasyaAllah! Let’s continue reading!

    *A SERVANT IS CLOSEST TO ALLAH*

    Today’s HFW invites us to revisit our relationship with Allah s.w.t. Naturally, as humans, we value freedom and dislike servanthood. However, BEYOND natural is, understanding our position in the eyes of Allah. And consciously choosing to be HIS servant.

    In understanding this concept it is essential that we first understand the concept “POSITION DEFINES FUNCTION”. How we position ourselves towards others determines our relationship with them, and how we treat or deal with others is a reflection of how we see ourselves.

    Today’s HFW is (عَبْد), which means “SERVANT” or “SLAVE”. If we read the pages of the Quran closely we will see that a SERVANT is the most DEAREST position for man in the eyes of Allah. It is used in special verses. The following verse talks about the most miraculous thing ever happened in history of mankind – Isra’ and Mi’raj.

    Your 37th High Frequency Word of the Quran:

    Aspire list of HFW Number: #64

    عَبْد

    Transliteration: ‘abd

    Meaning: servant/slave

    Meaning in Malay: hamba

    Frequency in the Quran: 131 times

    First Mention in Quran: Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 23 (2:23)

    Last Mention in Quran: Surah Al-‘Alaq, Verse 6 (96:10)

    Surah Al-Isra’, Verse 1 (17:1), Allah says:

     

    “Exalted is He who took His SERVANT by night from al-Masjid al-haram to al-Masjid al- Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing. “

     17_1

    As believers, we believe that Isra’ and Mi’raj is one of the most miraculous event ever happened to the most special person to mankind. Rasulullah s.a.w. rahmatan lil ‘aalamin.

    In narrating that event, Allah didn’t refer to Rasulullah s.a.w. as His Messenger, or His Prophet, or His Habib, but Allah refers to him as His servant! MasyaAllah this means that this special event happened to this special man because of his choice to concsciously choose to be the servant of Allah s.w.t.!

    To be a servant of Allah is to be a special person in the eyes of Allah s.w.t. when we consciously welcome our position as Allah’s servant in realilty we are accepting the best position and closest position ever offerec to any creations. Alhamdulillahi robbil aa’lamiin.

    Rasulullah s.a.w. taught us: “The closest a servant is to Allah is when he is prostrating”. So enjoy your sujuud in Solah dear friend, don’t rush it.

    By reading the Quran and observing its meaning we will begin our journey as a servant and complete it as a khalifah!

    Fill your heart with rememberance of Allah, and your mind will be filled with HIS wonders.

    Continue Your Week as servant of Allah!

  • High Frequency Word of The Quran #65: أَهْل

    High Frequency Word of The Quran #65: أَهْل

    BismillahirRahmanirRahim.

    Assalamu’alaikum Wr. Wb.

    Dear student of the Noble Quran,

    It gives me great pleasure to share with you High Frequency Words from the Quran and its wisdom everyday.

    Previously you’ve learned 35 High Frequency Words from the Quran, yesterday’s HFW being (َّلَعَل) . The HFW you will learn today is repeated for 127 times in the Quran. As of today you’ve learned 36 words from the Quran. Collectively these words are being used for 3494 times in the Quran! MasyaAllah! Let’s continue reading!

    *YOU ARE WHAT YOU DO REPEATEDLY*

    Today’s HFW invites us to look at ourselves and our actions. For our actions, our repeated actions that is, determine who we are. A kind person is he/she who is always kind to others.

    In looking at ourselves and our actions it is very important to remember that “WE ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE, AND WE CAN CHANGE IT”. A person who remembers Allah do so because he chooses to, and he can change his choice if he wants to.

    Today’s HFW is (أَهْل), which means “THE PEOPLE OF” or “PEOPLE WHO ARE WORTHY OF”. In the pages of the Quran, this word is highly frequently used in the context of, People of The Book. However, to understand this word in a context that is easier to relate to, let’s look at the following verse.

    Your 36th High Frequency Word of the Quran:

    Aspire list of HFW Number: #65

    أَهْل

    Transliteration: ahl

    Meaning: the people of

    Meaning in Malay: ahli

    Frequency in the Quran: 127 times

    First Mention in Quran: Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 105 (2:105)

    Last Mention in Quran: Surah Al-Bayyinah Verse 6 (98:6)

    Surah Al-Anbiya’, Verse 7 (21:7), Allah says:

     

    “And We sent not before you, [O Muhammad], except men to whom We revealed [the message], so ask THE PEOPLE OF (أَهْل) the message if you do not know. “

    21_7

     

    The People of The Message are people who choose to remind themselves of the message and remember it. If they want they can choose to stop remembering it, but they choose to continue in it. Because of constant remembrance they are more familiar with the subject, and thus the verse. Telling us that if don’t know, we should ask people who are more familliar with the subject, these people are specialists because they choose to study and learn the subject, and constantly revise it. If you have a tootache don’t see a carpenter, if you want to grow your imaan don’t see a dentist, see people of Imaan.

    We are define by the choices that we constantly make. And we have the choice to change them. Choose to change bad choices in the past to good ones, and good choices to better ones in the future!

    By reading the Quran and understanding its guidance we will be guided to make better and improved choices.

    Fill your heart with rememberance of Allah, and your mind will be filled with HIS wonders.

    Continue Your Week remembering Allah’s guidance!

  • High Frequency Word of The Quran #66: لَعَلَّ

    High Frequency Word of The Quran #66: لَعَلَّ

    BismillahirRahmanirRahim.

    Assalamu’alaikum Wr. Wb.

    Dear student of the Noble Quran,

    It gives me great pleasure to share with you High Frequency Words from the Quran and its wisdom everyday.

    Previously you’ve learned 34 High Frequency Words from the Quran, yesterday’s HFW being (ْبَل) . The HFW you will learn today is repeated for 123 times in the Quran. As of today you’ve learned 35 words from the Quran. Collectively these words are being used for 3367 times in the Quran! MasyaAllah! Let’s continue reading!

    *WITHIN HOPE THERE’S INTENTION*

    Today’s HFW is a tool that can train us to look within and evaluate our intention. The formula lies in the understanding that “WITHIN HOPE THERE’S INTENTION”. When we are consciously hoping for something,we can raise our level of consciousness by looking within our hope and inspect our intention. Having pure intention shall grow our imaan towards Allah s.w.t.

    Today’s HFW is (َّلَعَل), which means “SO THAT YOU MAY” or “HOPEFULLY”.

    Your 35th High Frequency Word of the Quran:

    Aspire list of HFW Number: #66

    لَعَلَّ

    Transliteration: la’alla

    Meaning: hopefully/so that you may

    Meaning in Malay: semoga/agar

    Frequency in the Quran: 123 times

    First Mention in Quran: Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 21 (2:21)

    Last Mention in Quran: Surah Abasa Verse 3 (80:3)

    Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 183 (2:183), Allah says:

     

    “O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you SO THAT YOU MAY (لعلكم) become righteous”

    2_183

     

    This verse is a good example of understanding the concept of “INTENTION WITHIN HOPE”. As we can see, in commanding us to perform fasting in the month of Ramadan, Allah’s hope is for us to achieve a higher level of consciousness or TAQWA, and the intention behind TAQWA is for us to live a blessed life in this world, and a blessed life in the here after.

    When we then, perform fast we should be looking into our hope and intention. What is it that we are hoping for? And what is our intent? Is it simply to break-fast with delicious food. Or to have pretty clothes and beautiful house during Eid? If that is the hope and intention, does it syncronise with Allah’s hope and intention? If it doesn’t, will we then get what Allah intended for us (a blessed life in this world and a blessed life in hereafter)?

    Only by reading the Quran will we understand Allah more… And attain closeness to Him.

    Fill your heart with rememberance of Allah, and your mind will be filled with HIS wonders.

    Begin Your Week with an intetion syncronized with Allah’s!

    High Frequency Word of The Quran #67: بَلْ

     

    BismillahirRahmanirRahim.

    Assalamu’alaikum Wr. Wb.

    Dear student of the Noble Quran,

    It gives me great pleasure to share with you High Frequency Words from the Quran and its wisdom everyday.

    Previously you’ve learned 33 High Frequency Words from the Quran, yesterday’s HFW being (يَد) . The HFW you will learn today is repeated for 122 times in the Quran. As of today you’ve learned 34 words from the Quran. Collectively these words are being used for 3244 times in the Quran! MasyaAllah! Let’s continue reading!

    *SUMETIMES THE DOOR IS ALREADY THERE, WHAT YOU NEED IS JUST THE DOOR KNOB*

    Today’s HFW, is tricky to explain but good to understand. Understanding it will help you to be more conscious of your own thought process, and internal communication. Knowing how to apply it correctly will transform you to be a productive person, and person who is always focus on solution rather than the problem.

    Today’s HFW is (ْبَل), which means “BUT” or “INSTEAD”. We observe this word is usually used in making excuses, debate, or arguement.

    But, if used consciously it will open door of possibilities, that we are not aware was there.

    Our actions stem from our thoughts, and we use words to produce and moderate them.

    Sometimes life brings us to a dead end. And we think that there is nothing that we can do, BUT when we use this WORD and continue with the word ALLAH after it, the door will appear.

    Example: Your mind says “I really don’t know how to do this!” And your trained consciousness says: “But Allah is the best guidance and His guidance comes in perfect timing”

    InsyaAllah, when we say this affirmation with strong belief, we shall witness miracle.

    As believers and servants of Allah s.w.t. we believe that Allah will always be there for us. Allah wants us to learn, and discover the strength HE bestowed within us.

    High Frequency Word of The Quran #68: يَد

    BismillahirRahmanirRahim.

    Assalamu’alaikum Wr. Wb.

    Dear student of the Noble Quran,

    It gives me great pleasure to share with you High Frequency Words from the Quran and its wisdom everyday.

    Previously you’ve learned 32 High Frequency Words from the Quran, yesterday’s HFW being (كَافِرُوْن) . The HFW you will learn today is repeated for 120 times in the Quran. As of today you’ve learned 33 words from the Quran. Collectively these words are being used for 3122 times in the Quran! MasyaAllah! Let’s continue reading!

    *MY ACTION INFRONT OF ME IS MY STRENGTH, I USE IT TO SHAPE MY FUTURE*

    To understand today’s HFW, you need to understand the following neuro-linguistic programming or NLP concept: “all that which is real CAN be metaphor, all that is metaphor CAN be real” if you can understand this let’s proceed.

    Today’s HFW is (يَد), which literally means “HAND”. It is also in some  situations means “ACTIONS”, “STRENGTH” or “THAT WHICH IS INFRONT OF”.

    From the Quranic Worldview, Hand is metaphor for our actions, our deeds and actions are mostly done with our hads, or parts that belong to it, like our fingers, i’m using them now as I write this message  for you.

    Our strength is in the things that we do continuously, again and again. Generally it is called training and practice. Trainings and practices are actions. The more we do them do more we will grow our strentgh.

    What we do today, in our present moment will shape our future. The more good deed we do in our present, the goodness we will enjoy in the future.

    As believers and servants of Allah s.w.t. we believe that Allah will always be MORE than fair to us, the good that we do, Allah s.w.t. will always reward with more than what we deserve. This alone is enough to motivate us to do more good deed.

    Your 33rd High Frequency Word of the Quran:

    Aspire list of HFW Number: #68

    يَد

    Transliteration: yad

    Meaning: hand (literally) actions, strength, that which is infront of (metaphorically)

    Meaning in Malay: tangan, perbuatan, kekuatan, hadapan

    Frequency in the Quran: 120 times

    First Mention in Quran: Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 66 (2:66)

    Last Mention in Quran: Surah Al-Masadd Verse 1 (111:1)

    Surah An-Naba’, Verse 40 (78:40), Allah says:

     

    “Indeed, We have warned you of a near punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his HANDs have put forth and the disbeliever will say, “Oh, I wish that I were dust!”

    78_40

    But those who refuse to believe in Allah shall deny and ignore. And when the time comes, they will regret, and it will not be beneficial for them.

    Continue your week by doing lots of good deeds!
