⚘️It' a great day again. May Allah swt bless and give us goodness in this world and in the hereafter, and grant us Jannathul Firdous.🤲
"Then the Messenger will say: "O my Lord! Truly my people took this Qur'an for just foolish nonsense."
May Allah (Glory be to Allah, The Most High) protect us from this and enable us to read, understand and follow the Quran only.
Learning the Quran is very interesting. It gives you ideas, a new kind of observation and experience. Better than reading a best seller novel.
17:9
"This Qur'an guides to that which is more upright, and it gives glad tidings to the believers who do good works that they will have a bountiful reward."
One interesting point about its language is that if it wishes to fix a word for just one meaning, it creates a nest around it. This is known as nested word.
Before we start reading the Quran comply with 16:98 .
Secondly, do not rush in your reading , ref 20:114 وَلَا تَعْجَلْ بِالْقُرْآنِ
"Be not in haste with the Qur'an"
In 56:79, " none can grasp it except the purified"
Coming back to the nested meaning we cite 16:18 the word " بُيُوتًا " "buyootan " which is a beehive. Looks like interlocked pockets of small holders with a single opening. And when God inspired Moses to build houses God used the same word. From here we establish that Moses and his people lived in caves.
The cave is constructed by scooping out the solid mountain wall leaving one opening- doorway. And this should be facing masjidil haram.
10:87
And We inspired to Moses and his brother, "Settle your people in Egypt in houses and make your houses [facing the] qiblah and establish prayer and give good tidings to the believers."
Qibla [ direction]is Masjidil Haram.
The word "buyootan" is used as bottle in english language. How a bottle looks like?
"Bayt" comes from the word "boyootan".
Example of Bayt mentioned in 33:53, 3:96.
In 3:96 it is mentooned as "bayt": إِنَّ أَوَّلَ بَيْتٍ وُضِعَ
Which means this house is hewn from a rock piece or wall of mountain as this word comes from "buyootan" like a clay pot house bees make.
The kabah in mecca is not hewn from a rock as it was constructed with wall enclosures. Which is known as "diyaar"
2:84
إِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَاقَكُمْ لَا تَسْفِكُونَ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَلَا تُخْرِجُونَ أَنفُسَكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ ثُمَّ أَقْرَرْتُمْ وَأَنتُمْ تَشْهَدُونَ
Kabah in Mecca is not what God refers in 3:96. So read with understanding.
The first Sanctuary established for the mankind is the one in Bakk'a, blessed, and a guidance for the worlds.
In 2:127 God says "As Ibrahim raises the foundation..." God did not say Ibrahim erected or built the enclosures, walls etc. Apparently, the baiyt [ hewn house] foundation had sunken, and it was raised so it can be visible.
The Dome of the Rock was built between AD 685 and 691 by the caliph 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, not as a mosque for public worship but rather as a mashhad, a shrine for pilgrims.[ref here].
Our modern day houses comes under the word diyaar.
