  • The Significance of Ar-Rahman And Ar-Raheem

    BismillahirRahmanirRahim.

    بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

    We always say BismillahirRahmanirRahim before we start activity.

    Do you know Ar-Rahman (الرحمن) and Ar-Raheem (الرحيم) both come from the same root letter ra – ha – meem (ر – ح – م), both contains the meaning of mercy, compassion, grace, gentle, love. But what’s the difference between Ar-Rahman (الرحمن) and Ar-Raheem (الرحيم) and what’s the significance?

    One day Ibn ‘Abbas r.a. was asked what’s the difference between Ar-Rahman (الرحمن) and Ar-Raheem (الرحيم)?

    Concisely, Ibn ‘Abbas replied Ar-Rahman (الرحمن) is for this world and Ar-Raheem (الرحيم) is for the hereafter.

    How so? We would ask.

    The difference is that the word Ar-Rahman (الرحمن) is using the core pattern of Isim Mubalaghah فَعْلَان ( traditionally and commonly known as seeghah mubhalaghah) which gives the meaning of extremely.

    While Ar-Raheem (الرحيم) is using the core pattern of Isim Sifah فَعِيْل (traditionally and commonly known as sifah musyabbahah) which gives the meaning of everlastingly.

    That which is extreme is not necessarily everlasting.

    Like when we are hungry (جَوْعَان) we are extremely hungry. But the moment we get food the feeling of hunger disappears.

    While Allah s.w.t. is extremely gracious and merciful to very single creation and creatures in this universe, including those who refuse to believe in Him.

    Only those who truly believe in Him will get His eternal mercy, compassion, grace, gentleness and love in hereafter.

    That which is extreme is not necessarily everlasting.

    So the significance of BismillahirRahmanirRahim is that when we read it we are combining both extreme mercy and everlasting mercy in one sentence. When we read it we are praying that Allah s.w.t. bless us with His extreme mercy as well as everlasting mercy in the activity that we do.

    That which is extreme is not necessarily everlasting. But in bismillahirRahmanirRahim we pray and hope that Allah mercy, compassion, grace, gentleness and love is both extreme and everlasting for us all.

    Wallahua’alam.

    Yazid Bin Muhamad Salleh

    Ustaz Yazid Muhamad Salleh is a man who is in LOVE with the Quran.

    He gets true happiness from the Quran. Whether to find a solution to a problem, or to get Inspired, or feel Motivated, each time he opens the Quran, it provides him with the answer he’s looking for.

    The Quran is therefore a unique source of Motivation & Inspiration for Ustaz Yazid – as it should be for the rest of us, he feels.

    This is why he calls the Quran ‘Our Life Coach’.

    This is why he has made it his mission to share with us the powerful messages God has left for us in His Quran.

    And this is why he set up Aspire Institute of Quranic Coaching; Read, Understand and Apply Al-Quran in LIFE.

     His Love Affair with the Quran began early: he began his Islamic & secular education at Singapore’s esteemed Madrasah Aljunied Al-Islamiah & graduated 12 years later with a Graduate Scholarship award from the school.  Ustaz Yazid spent the next 5 years at the famous Al-Azhar University in Egypt to pursue his Bachelor Degree, where he majored in Arabic Language, Literature and Linguistics.

     Soon after his return to Singapore, he won another scholarship in 2007 – this time from MUIS – to pursue a Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies from State Islamic University (UIN) Syarif Hidayatullah in Jakarta.  His studies focused on the Quran, Phenomenology & Socio-Linguistics.

    Three words come to mind when one encounters Ustaz Yazid & attempts to describe him:

    Unique,  Inspired & Optimistic!

    More than 1400 years ago mankind was blessed with the Noble Quran. 

    Since the time it was revealed through Our Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. the Quran not only completes our life with divine orders and commandments, but also make humanity whole with Infinite Inspirations and Motivations to lead a life of nobility and fulfillment. The History of Previous Andalus and Baghdad is a testimony to this fact.

    Sadly though, when Arabic Language lost its grasp as the spoken language of the world, Muslims have since lost the sight the Quran’s true beauty which lies in understanding its meanings in its native form; Language of the Quran.

    With the aim to understand the language of the Quran and unfold its Infinite Inspirations and Motivations in its native language, Aspire Institute of Quranic Coaching is honored to offer Arabic Language Classic Code Certification, it’s longest running program, a certification which leads to the understanding of the Quran in its native language.

    The certification is a 3-level, once weekly, modular program with the intent of understanding the language of the Quran. 

    Level 1: Module 1-3 (12 Months)
    Level 2: Module 4-9 (24 Months)
    Level 3: Module 10-12 (12 Months)

    The entire 12-Module Curriculum is synthesized using proven Classical Method and linguistic approaches of Communication and High Frequency Words.

    By the end of theprogram participants will be able to understand the Noble Quran in its native language and able acquire Infinite number of Inspirations and Motivations from the Book of Guidance, to lead a life of true success and fulfillment in this life and hereafter.

  • READ THE QURAN!

    READ THE QURAN!

    All students shall have 1-on-1 slots with their Quran Reading Facilitator
    All students shall have 1-on-1 slots with their Quran Reading Facilitator

    When it comes to learning to read the Quran, a lot of people have 2 big common questions in mind.

    First: “How long will it take for me to learn to read the Quran?” and the other: “Will I just know how to recite and not know the meaning?”. The reason why people are currently asking first are because we don’t have the luxury of time like the way we used to. We are in a constant fight to juggle the ideals of being a good employee/employer, parent, child, student, neighbor, friend, a even a good next person because time is SCARCE. There is too much responsibilities and no one is helping, because they too are busy with the same battle as we do. But is that a good excuse to tell Allah when we meet HIM? “Allah, I’m so sorry, I know that you have sent me a beautiful message in a book through your Noble Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. and he and his companions fought with their life to bring it to us, but I just don’t have time to learn to read, let alone understand it.” Well this is the part when we need to understand that no excuse is a good excuse. But what is then the solution?

    That is The Question that Aspire Institute of Quranic Coaching ask when develop the program for reading the Quran for working adults. The program needs to understand the nature as well as the needs of Working Adults and Shift Workers in Singapore. So we design the program so that total Time Investment needed for you to be able to read the Quran is 12-48hours.

    We’ve done a couple of successful workshops “I WANT TO READ QURAN THIS RAMADAN / IN 2 Days”. We later learned that in the long run, if the true objective is to develop an everlasting relationship with the Quran, we need to have a consistent program even though it is once weekly. So our new program which starts on 15 April 2013 is perfect for Working Adults even Shift Workers with odd working hours. The program is just 1.5 hours per session and participants need only to come once in a week, that is only 1.5 out of 168 hours in a week, to put things in your perspective. Better still They can choose to come anytime from Mondays to Sunday 10am-10pm! To Register, please send:

    The other question is: “Will I just know how to recite and not know the meaning?” At Aspire Institute of Quranic Coaching our main effort is developing content and designing programs for people to READ, UNDERSTAND, and APPLY Al-Quran in their LIFE everyday. For that purpose our reading programs are developed with the aim of getting the participants to quickly read the Quran FAST! while ensuring that no neglect is being done to the preservation of proper pronunciation and tajwid. The wisdom behind the need for speed here is that Quran is Allah s.w.t.’s guidance for mankind, and that include us! We need to UNDERSTAND this guidance! The Quran is guiding us through our understanding, logical, emotional and spiritual understanding of the Quran which ultimately develop our bond with Allah s.w.t. and with that our spiritual muturity! That is the reason we develop the program bearing the need for speed in mind so that you can quickly learn to understand the Quran and apply the Quran in your life!

    quran reading programWhen the Quran was revealed to Rasulullah s.a.w. it changed the life of his companions and change the entire Arab Nation with them. Imagine how our life can be improved when we know how to apply the Quran! Our family, our company our, and even ourselves will improved. A life of harmony inspired by the Quran. InsyaAllah.
