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.

Rasulullaah ρ 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 ρ 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 ρ 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.

3

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.

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 Sa’eed Ghorawaja for assisting in this compilation. May

Allaah Ta'aala reward and bless him abundantly.

Introduction

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:

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.

6

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.

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.

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-in-

law, 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

Arabic Alphabet

{Surah Baqarah, verses 1-5}

This is the beginning of the Noble Qur'aan. While a Hafiz generally does

not get confused with these verses, we are beginning with them to gain

blessings from them.

There is a Mutashaabihaat that appears in the words ��!?� . وا��?!�� and ا�While ��!?� ا Alphabetically, the . و begins with a وا��?!�� , ا begins with an ا�appears before the و . Therefore, ��!� . وا��!�� comes before ا�

The second Mutashaabihaat is that �?�'��( appears after the first ن#?$%&� while �?�أ2?1ل ) appears after the second ن#?$%&� . If you ponder, you will note that in �?�'��( , a ل is recited after the ب , while in �?�أ2?1ل ) , it is a م that is recited after the ب . Because ل appears before م in the Arabic alphabet, the word ��'��( appears before the word ��أ12ل ) .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

{Surah Baqarah, verse 18} ن#AB6� � �=� D�< ��( E�F {Surah Baqarah, verse 171} ن#��A� � �=� D�< ��( E�F

Here the Mutashaabihaat lies in the words ن#?AB6� � and ن#?��A� � . While in the word ن#?AB6� � , a ر appears after the ي , it is a ع that appears after the ي in the word ن#?��A� � . Since the letter ر appears before the letter ع in the Arabic alphabet, the word ن#?AB6� � appears before the word ن#��A� � .

{Surah Aal Imraan, verse 131} ��6�� ت� D أ>��#ا ا�$��ر ا��Iوا

The Mutashaabihaat in this verse lies in the words ا#��I�� and ا#��Iوا . Since �#ا �I�?� begins with the letter ف and ا#?��Iوا begins with the letter ا , و#��I�?� appears before ا#?��Iوا because the letter ف appears before the letter و in the Arabic alphabet. The first verse is also longer than the second.

There are two similarities in this verse:

2. After the ي in the word ن#?��A�� , an ع appears while after the ي in the word ن#?�#�� , a ق appears. The letter ع appears before the letter .in the alphabet ق

{Surah Dhaariyaat, verse 44} �=I!7S�Z�<��ا�,

While the first verse contains the word ��I!7S� with the letter ك , the others have the word �=I!7S�, with a [. The ك appears before the [ in the Arabic alphabet and the word with the ك will therefore come first.

There are 2 similarities in the above verses:

(1) The first verse contains the word ءآ��B with the letter ك , while the other has the word ءه��B, with a [. The ك appears before the [ in the Arabic alphabet, so the word with the ك will come first.

(2) The first verse contains the words �� I!a�Iا , beginning with the

letter ث , while the second verse has the words 65�وا ��, beginning with the letter ف. The ث appears before the ف in the Arabic alphabet, so the word with the ث will come first.

��!� آ�� 6A��#2� ا�� ب IR�$�ه� ا� أ6e7 �=e/2وا ا��!�� أ)$�ءه� 6A��#ن

�&%$#ن � �=�

There are similarities in all three verses. In the first verse, the word

�2#� � appears after ��!�ا�� ب IR�$�ه� ا� , while the word �2#�6A� appears after it in the second and third verses. In the word �2#� � , the letter ت appears after the letter ي , while in the word �2#�6A�, it is the letter ع which appears after the letter ي . Since the letter ت appears before the �in the Arabic alphabet, the word �2# ع� will come first.

In the second two verses, the similarity occurs after the word �أ)$�ءه . In the first of the two verses, the word �أ)$�ءه is followed by ��6�� وإن ,

which may be linked to the letter ق of the word ل#��^ (which starts off the 2nd Para in which the verse is found). The second of the two verses

in which ��!�6e7وا ا� follows the word �أ)$�ءه is found in the 7th Para and

12

the 2nd Para is, naturally, after the 7th. Therefore, the verse with �وإن��6� will precede the verse with 6واe7 ��!� .ا�

After the word ��/g��h��, the first verse contains the word ��/آ�A�ا with the letter ع , while the second verse has the word ��g�� .ق with a ,ا�The ع appears before the ق in the Arabic alphabet, so the word with the .will therefore come first ع

After the word ا��=#د, the first verse contains the word je�� with the letter ل , the second verse has the word رى�,� ,و with the letter ,وا�$while the third verse has the words �� ا� with the letter ي. The ل appears before the و in the Arabic alphabet and the letter ي appears afterwards, so the word with the ل will therefore come first, followed by the word with the letter و and then the letter ي.

These four verses are often confused with each other. Take note of the

following:

• The first verse starts with the word �$� the , ر with the letter ر)second verse starts with the word �� the third ,ك with the letter آverse starts with the word �� with the letter ل and the fourth verse starts with the word #ه with the letter [. These letters appear in this respective sequence in the Arabic alphabet.

• Furthermore, the word �I��R in the first verse contains the letter ك , the word �R�$I� in the second verse contains the letter ن and the word �I��R in the third and fourth verses contain the letter [ . These three letters also appear in this respective sequence in the Arabic

alphabet.

14

• In addition to this, one may link the letter ز in the word �=� 1�آ in the first verse to the ending of the verse, which is 1�1Aا�<�� ا� since

it is only in this verse that the word �=� 1�آ appears after the word �=� �A� . In the other verses, the words �=� 1�آ and �� 1آ appear after the words �=� �A� and �� A� .

• After the word �# �% in the third verse, there appears the phrase ر�=e/2أ , whereas the other verses contain the words �=$ % and ��$ %. To remember this, note that the letter ن appears twice in the phrase �=e/2أ � % , which is akin to the ن that appears at the beginning of the verse in the word oا ��% .

The similarity lies in the words �$�/�أ and �2�Bو . While the word �$�/�أ starts with the letter ا , the word �2�Bو starts with the letter و . The ا appears before the و in the Arabic alphabet, so the word �$�/�أ will come first.

the first verse contains the word ;�<و with the letter و , while the second verse has the words ��6� ��ا� with the letter ي. The و appears before the ي in the Arabic alphabet so the verse with ;�<و ��!�ا� will

In the Arabic alphabet, the letter ف at the beginning of the word ا#��I��appears before the letter و at the beginning of the word ا#��Iوا .

Furthermore, when looking at the words after 1aI , notice that theون

letter ف starting the words D� D/�n appears before the letter ق at the beginning of the word ا#��- . The alphabetical sequence will therefore

be followed.

The similarities in the above three verses appear after the word �=� . The first verse contains the word ء# with the letter س , the second

verse has the word ;5�<, with the letter ع, while the third verse has the word Z$A� in the Arabic ع appears before the س The .ل with the letter ا��alphabet and the letter ل appears afterwards, so the word ء# will therefore come first, followed by the word ;5�< and then the word

The words �%�� the word , ا in the first verse starts with the letter إ�� SI in the second verse starts with the letter ت and the word �(ا� in آ!the third verse starts with the letter ك . These three letters also appear in this respective sequence in the Arabic alphabet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

{Surah Naml, verse 7} ��I} �=$ % 65a( أو ��IR ب�=q( y5-

Since these two verses appear one after the other, the word �اF� is رoften confused with the word �اlر. Note that in the first verse the word i� e� contains the letter س , the word �(�=l contains the letter ش and

the word �اF� all of which follow each other , صcontains the letter ر

successively in the alphabet.

• The first verse begins with ��%S� , while the second verse begins with �� .in the alphabet و precedes ف and وأ%

• Furthermore, the first verse contains the word �P(ر (starting with

the letter ر ) while the second verse contains the word �ر��

(starting with the letter ف ) and this also follows the alphabetic sequence.

• Also, the first verse ends with the word �%6أآ and the second ends with the word �2�أه . Looking at the letters after the letter ا , note that �%6أآ has the letter ك and �2�أه has the letter [ . This also follows the alphabetic sequence.

{Surah Fatah, verse 8} ��$�ك إ2 و2!�6ا وq5% 6ا l�ه�ا أر

The sequence in the above four verses is astounding. While the first

and third verses are exactly the same, the second and fourth are also

exactly the same. After the word ك�$�? the word Q>��?( appears in the ,أرfirst verse (starting with the letter ب), while it is the word ه�ا�??l (starting with the letter ش) that appears after the word ك�$�? in the أرsecond verse. The ب appears before the ش in the alphabet. The same

applies for the third and fourth verses.

Aayaat that Oppose the Sequence of the Arabic

Alphabet

{Surah Baqarah, verse 7} � �A=� و>�; #)=�-� >�; ا�� 7

qu�وة ,�ره�أ) و>�;

The sequence of the underlined letters of this verse opposes the

sequence of the Arabic alphabet. We have the ق of the word �=(#�- coming first, followed by the س of the word �=A� and then the letter ا of the word �أ),�ره .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

{Surah Baqarah, verse 7} �=�اب> و! ��w<

{Surah Baqarah, verse 10} �=�أ�� >!اب و

Here, the ع in the word ��w< precedes the ا in the word ��أ , which opposes the sequence of the Arabic alphabet.

Linking Aayaat by the Sequence of Diacritical Marks

{Surah Yusuf, verse 32} ��$Me��

{Surah Yusuf, verse 35} ��$$Me��

The letter ي in the first word bears a Dhamma (), while the letter ي on the second word bears a Fatha (). Since these words appear in Surah

Yusuf, one should bear in mind that the first of the two words will have

the Dhamma () on the letter ي just like the letter ي in the word � #� .

The letter ر in the word [2#ر has a Fatha () in the first verse and a Kasrah () in the second. To remember this, take note of what precedes

the common word وا&/h� in both verses. While in the first verse it is preceded by the word أن (with a Fatha), in the second verse it is preceded by the letter ل , which has a Kasrah. This coincides with the diacritical marks on each of the words [2#ر .

All the nine verses above appear in the fourteenth Para and the words

and Z�8 common to all of them either bear a Fatha () or a Kasrah 8��ت(). To remember the sequence of these diacritical marks as they

appear, remember the phrase common to all the verses ( �Z�8 ذ�� D� إن )

and then remove the word D� . You will be left with the phrase: Z�8إن� ذ��

This phrase has nine letters in total. The diacritical marks on each of

these nine letters will correspond with the diacritical marks used in

each of the above verses (on the words 8��ت and Z�8). This is as follows:
