So we should first ensure the action will be pleasing to Allah.

The reason for this is the majority of people will most likely be doing the wrong thing. But the Quran teaches us that if the majority of people are doing something, then we should be careful not to blindly follow them. Many of us try our best to fit in by copying what others do. The Danger of Blindly Following the Majority Then I will come to them from before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left, and You will not find most of them grateful. It is used primarily to describe people who have turned away from Allah’s guidance, resulting in their soul being attached to misguidance and evil.Īfter Allah cursed Shaytaan and cast him out of paradise, Shaytaan promised Allah that he would confuse mankind and cause them to stray away from the right path. The word akthar is used in the Quran to refer to the status or condition of the people. The aim has been to enable a non-Arab reader to understand the Qur'an as well as to improve his knowledge of Arabic, particularly the Qur'anic Arabic.It is the comparative and superlative form of Katheer = كَثِير As the words recur at different pages, so their meanings and grammatical notes also have been repeated, giving cross reference to at least one previous occurrence of the word, indicating the page on which and the number under which the word has been explained before. Also grammatical notes, particularly verb forms and verbal nouns, have been given as far as possible. The numbering has been kept individual for each page. To do this a number has been placed on the English word which represents the meaning of the particular word in the text and then the meanings of that word have been given under that number in another column by the side of the general meaning of the text.

To further facilitate the understanding of the text, the meanings of almost all important words in the text have been given separately. It has the additional advantage of keeping the meaning strictly to the wording of the text or importing in the meaning any word or expression that has no correspondence with anything in the text. This method enables the reader to identify which English words or phrases represent the meaning of which words in the Arabic text. This set places one or a couple of words of the 'ayah in one line of a column and gives their meanings side by side in another column, taking care to see that the flow and intelligibility of the English meanings are not thereby lost. In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
