Miracles of Knowledge Found in the Noble Qur’an and The Teachings of

Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)

How to parent Children from The Guidance of The Noble

Qur’an?

The Manner by which People parent their Children

The majority of people do not know any way to parent their children

The other group of parents follow theories and

conjecture that are far from Islamic teachings

As a result of this parents do so many dangerous

mistakes in parenting their children

As a result of this parents do so many dangerous

mistakes in parenting their children

The Consequences of Not Knowing A Way to parent Children

Children going away from the Teachings of The Noble Qur’an and Prophet Mohammad

Children going away from their parents Bad psychological effects on children Children feeling isolated, lost, and in despair Losing so many years in the life of the child

in trying various things and discovering that they are all wrong

The Advice of Prophet Mohammad

To have the Noble Qur’an as the reference book and not to follow the

guesswork of people

If a person neglects the Noble Qur’an then he would have a hard life in this

life and in the hereafter

Definition and Importance of The Miracles of Knowledge found in The Noble Qur’an

What are the Miracles of Knowledge In The Noble Qur’an and The Teachings of Prophet Mohammad Peace Be Upon Him?

The Noble Qur’an is superior to the main theme of the people by:

The Noble Qur’an contains all branches of knowledge (Engineering, physics, chemistry,

psychology, medicine, sociology, etc.)

The Noble Qur’an contains the optimal methodology to learn all branches of knowledge

The Noble Qur’an also contains the best terminology to describe all branches of knowledge

The main theme of the people of our day and age

is knowledge

Thus the miracle that should accompany the last revelation of Allah (God) Almighty (i.e. The Noble Qur’an) must be directly linked to the main theme

of the people of this age (i.e. knowledge)

Such that the Muslim would be the teacher of others

The Importance of The Miracles of Knowledge Found in The Noble Qur’an and The Teachings of Prophet Mohammad Peace Be Upon Him

The importance of the miracles of knowledge found in the Noble Qur’an

and the teachings of Prophet Mohammad peace be upon Him

No human can gather all branches of knowledge. Thus if Muslims show that the

Noble Qur’an contains all branches of knowledge then it would be a sign from the

creator which testifies that the Noble Qur’an is from Him and that Mohammad peace be

upon him is His last messenger

Muslims will only need Allah (God) Almighty and will learn all knowledge from the book of Allah (God) Almighty and thus Muslims would have pride and will not need anyone besides

Allah (God) Almighty

The Non-Muslims love knowledge, and when they see that the Noble Qur’an is the source of knowledge then that would cause them to

be attracted to the book of Allah (God) Almighty and they will see the truth contained

within it (Allah (God) willing)

How to parent Children from The Guidance of The Noble

Qur’an?

In the Name of Allah (God) Almighty the Most Gracious The Most Merciful

The Noble Qur’an (98: 2-3)

The Noble Qur’an contains valuable books, which contain: The best science in all branches of

knowledge

The optimal research methodology to derive knowledge

The best terminology to use to describe knowledge

2. A Messenger (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) from Allah (God) Almighty, reciting

purified pages (The Qur’an). 3. Containing valuable books.

The Noble Qur’an (47: 24)

In The Name of Allah (God) Almighty The Most Compassionate The Most Merciful

The Noble Qur’an (4: 82)

The Noble Qur’an (38: 29)

Do they not then think deeply in the Qur‘an, or are their hearts locked up?

Do they not then consider the Qur‘an carefully? Had it been from other than Allah (God), they would surely have found therein much contradictions

(This is) a Book (the Qur‘an) which Allah (God) has sent down to you, full of blessings that they may

ponder over its Verses, and that men of understanding may remember

Why did Allah (God) Almighty use the word

ponder and did not use the words (simply read) The

Noble Qur’an?

Ponder is to think and reflect upon the verses of The Noble Qur’an.

Thus this this the best way to understand and benefit from the Noble

Qur’an

The Answer(Conclusion)

An Example on how to reflect upon the Verses of The Noble Qur’an

Do they not then ponder and reflect about the Qur‘an, or are their hearts locked up?

The Noble Qur’an (47: 24)

How to find the Optimal Way to parent Children from the Noble Qur’an?

In The Name of Allah (God) The Most Compassionate The Most Merciful

The Noble Qur’an (31: 13)

Why does Allah (God) Almighty state in the Noble Qur’an the way a man called (Luqman) parented his child?

The answer: To teach parents the optimal methodology to parent their children

And (remember) when Luqmân said to his son when he was advising him: "O my son! Join not in worship others with Allah (God). Verily! Joining others in worship with

Allah (God) is a great wrong indeed

In the Name of Allah (God) Almighty the Most Gracious The Most Merciful

The Noble Qur’an (31: 12)

And indeed Allah (God) bestowed upon Luqmân Al Hikmah (wisdom and religious understanding, etc.) saying: "Give thanks to Allah (God)," and whoever gives thanks, he gives thanks for his ownself. And

whoever is unthankful, then verily, Allah (God) is All Rich (Free of all wants), Worthy of all praise

Allah (God) emphasizes that He has bestowed guidance onto a father (Luqman)

Thus learn O people from the way this father (Luqman) parented his child

In the Name of Allah (God) Almighty the Most Gracious The Most Merciful

The Noble Qur’an (31: 13)

And (remember) when Luqmân said to his son when he was advising him: "O my son! Join not in worship

others with Allah (God). Verily! Joining others in worship with Allah (God) is a great Zûlm (wrong)

indeed

Allah (God) Almighty states that Luqman advised His son

Thus Allah (God) Almighty teaches us that children are not a property of the

parents

O my son!Thus Allah (God) Almighty teaches us to begin advising children with a word or a phrase that shows the

love of the parent to his child

Since this would increase the acceptance of the child for the

advice to follow

And if the parents start talking to their children with commands and harsh words then the children would

not be receptacle for the advice to follow

The arrangement of events in the Qur’an indicates the importance of

these events, such that the first being the most important

The first matter that Luqman taught his child was not take partners with the

Almighty

Since this is great injustice to the creator, hence you stole from His

ownership

Thus parents should follow logic and reasoning in parenting their children

Because taking partners in worship is great injustice, why?

Because you stole from the ownership of the creator

Why did Allah (God) forbid people to take partners with Him in worship?

Knowing the signs of the creator (Allah (God) Almighty)

Requires that the intelligence of a believer should be increased:

To comprehend these signs

To strive to make the word of the creator

supreme with wisdom and intelligence

To derive new knowledge from the

Noble Qur’an for him or her to be the teacher

of others

How to increase The Intelligence of Humans?

And He has subjected to you, as from Him, all that is in the heavens and on earth: Behold, in

that are Signs indeed for those who think (reflect and ponder) about matters

Knowing the signs of the creator Requires an increase

in intelligence

This is done by pondering, reflecting,

and thinking about matters

Thus pondering about matters is the way to

increase the intelligence of a person

The Advice of Prophet Mohammad to People to Ponder

and Reflect Upon Matters

The Advice of Prophet Mohammad

To ponder and reflect upon matters and not to

follow things blindly

The status of Muslims because they deserted the Noble Qur’an

Them following matters without thinking about them

• Inability to take actions in various situations• Inability to derive new knowledge

• Being in a lower state and looked down upon

Functional Adaptation of Human Brain

A reduction in intelligence

The Noble Qur’an (31: 14)

In The Name of Allah (God) Almighty The Most Compassionate The Most Merciful

And Allah (God) has enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his

parents. His mother bore him in weakness and hardship upon

weakness and hardship, and his weaning is in two years give

thanks to Me and to your parents, unto Me is the final destination

And Allah (God) has enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents. His mother bore him in

weakness and hardship upon weakness and hardship

Allah (God) Almighty shows here the responsibilities of children to their parents

Such that a child should be kind and helpful to his parents

Since they endured hardships in his uprising

The Noble Qur’an (31: 15)

In The Name of Allah (God) Almighty The Most Compassionate The Most Merciful

But if they (both) strive with you to make you join in worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey

them not, but behave with them in the world kindly, and follow the path of him who turns to Me in repentance and in obedience. Then to Me will be your return, and I shall tell you

what you used to do.

But if they (both) strive with you to make you join in worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not, but behave with

them in the world kindly

Allah (God) Almighty shows here the responsibilities of parents to their children

If parents have bad manners towards their children then they are lowered from the states of parents

to that of friends And the child should take them as friends but he does not have to obey them and should

find an example of a person to take as a parent figure

The Noble Qur’an (31: 16)

In The Name of Allah (God) Almighty The Most Compassionate The Most Merciful"O my son! If it be (anything)

equal to the weight of a grain of mustard seed, and though it be in a rock, or in the heavens or in the

earth, Allah (God) will bring it forth. Verily, Allah (God) is Subtle (in bringing out that grain), Well

Aware (of its place).

Luqman teaches his son the greatest sign in the sight of Allah (God) which is how the dead will be resurrected on the Day of Judgment

in the heavens or in the earth, Allah (God) will bring it forth

Luqman teaches his child the main sign of the creator (Allah (God))

Which is the scientific mechanism by which the Almighty will resurrect the

dead on the Day of Judgment

The Disbelief of The Majority of People with regards to Their Resurrection Across the Ages

The Noble Qur’an (64: 7-8)

In The Name of Allah (God) The Most Compassionate The Most Merciful

7. The disbelievers pretend that they will never be resurrected. Say (O Muhammad

SAW): "Yes! By my Lord, you will certainly be resurrected, then you will be informed of what you did, and that is easy for Allah

(God).8. Therefore, believe in Allah (God) and His

Messenger (Muhammad peace be upon Him), and in the Light (this Qur‘an) which

Allah (God) has sent down. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.

The Importance of The Sign of The Resurrection of Humans

1. Showing the easiness of the resurrection of humans2. A sign from the creator that every human can see everyday 3. A sign which testifies to the truthfulness of the message

contained within the Noble Qur’an and the teachings of Prophet Mohammad peace be upon Him

4. Using this sign in striving to make the word of the creator (Allah (God) Almighty) supreme

5. The use of this sign to elevate a person in faith6. Deeper understanding for the Noble Qur’an and the

teachings of Prophet Mohammad peace be upon Him

The Noble Qur’an (31: 17)

In The Name of Allah (God) Almighty The Most Compassionate The Most Merciful

"O my son! perform As Salât, enjoin (people) for Al Ma'rûf (Islâmic Monotheism and all that is good), and forbid (people) from Al Munkar (i.e. disbelief in the Oneness of Allah (God),

polytheism of all kinds and all that is evil and bad), and bear with patience whatever

befall you. Verily! These are some of the important commandments ordered by Allah

(God) with no exemption

"O my son! perform As Salât, enjoin (people) for Al Ma'rûf (Islâmic Monotheism and all that is good),

and forbid (people) from Al Munkar (i.e. disbelief in the Oneness of Allah (God), polytheism of all kinds

and all that is evil and bad)

Luqman teaches his child the pillar of the acts of worship which

is prayer

The second act of worship that Luqman teaches his child is striving to make the

word of the creator supreme

What is The Goal you are striving for in This Life?

People in their knowledge of the purpose they were created for

They do not know it and do not care to know it

They follow weird ideas and philosophies that are far away from Islamic teachings

The minority know their goal in life as stated in the Noble Qur’an

90%

9.999%

0.001%

Not knowing the purpose a person was created for leads to the following results:

Increased interest in clothes, food, gossip, pointless conversations, …….

Trying intoxicants, drugs, etc. Depression, which leads to:

Reduced productivity Increased anger Deep sadness and losing the will to live Hating oneself and others

Dishonor, need for others, and inability to be productive

The Noble Qur’an (7: 179)

In The Name of Allah (God) Almighty The Most Compassionate The Most Merciful

The person who does not know the purpose he was

created forThe CattleWhy the analogy between the two is given in the Noble Qur’an?

Eating and drinking Eating and drinking

Procreation Procreation

The cattle know their purpose in life by default (by installed guidance from Allah

(God) Almighty)

Many people do not the purpose they were created for in life, and thus they

are lower than the cattle

And surely, Allah (God) has created many of the jinns and mankind for Hell. They have hearts wherewith they understand not, they have eyes wherewith they see not, and they have ears

wherewith they hear not. They are like cattle, nay even more astray; those! They are the heedless ones.

What is The Goal you are striving for in This Life?

The Answer to this Question can be found in The Noble Qur’an

Knowing this goal increases intelligence and productivity of a person

7. O you who believe! If you make Allah (God) victorious, He will make you victorious, and make your foothold firm

The Noble Qur’an (47: 7)

Allah (God) Almighty teaches us in this Qur’anic verse the purpose He created people for which is to make

the creator victorious on earth

How does a person make Allah (God)

victorious?

A person makes Allah (God) Almighty victorious by striving

to make His word supreme and this is done by

propagating the faith

Allah (God) Almighty promised victory to the person who strives to make the word of the creator supreme

160. If Allah (God) makes you victorious, none can defeat you; and if He forsakes you, who is there after Him that can make you victorious? And in Allah (God) let believers put their trust

The Noble Qur’an (3: 160)

Allah (God) Almighty states that if a person strives to make His word supreme then Allah (God) will make

him victorious and non can defeat him

In contrast if a person lets down Allah (God) by not striving to make His word supreme then Allah (God) Almighty will

forsake him

From this Qur’anic verse we find the answer to the question which is (Why Muslims are not

victorious?)

The answer is that because the majority of Muslims forsake Allah

(God) by not striving to make His word supreme

Victory and high status will not be for the Muslims unless they realize this truth and strive to make the word of the creator supreme by propagating the faith to people as a whole

Miracles of knowledge found in the Noble Qur’an and the teachings of Prophet Mohammad peace be upon Him represent the continuing miracle which testifies to the truthfulness of the message contained

within the Noble Qur’an. Which believers can use to strive to make the word of Allah (God) Almighty supreme by showing this miracle to people as a whole

The Noble Qur’an (31: 17)

In The Name of Allah (God) Almighty The Most Compassionate The Most Merciful

"O my son! perform As Salât, enjoin (people) for Al Ma'rûf (Islâmic Monotheism and all that is good), and forbid (people) from Al Munkar (i.e. disbelief in the Oneness of Allah (God),

polytheism of all kinds and all that is evil and bad), and bear with patience whatever

befall you. Verily! These are some of the important commandments ordered by Allah

(God) with no exemption

and bear with patience whatever befall you

Luqman also teaches his son to have patience over the hurt that can befall him from people and Satan when he strives to make the word

of the creator supreme

Also Luqman teaches his son why

he should have patience ?

Prophets who are close to Allah (God) had patience

over the painHe becomes a stronger

personHe realizes what is

important in life

The Noble Qur’an (31: 18)

In The Name of Allah (God) Almighty The Most Compassionate The Most Merciful

"And turn not your face away from men with pride, nor walk in insolence through the earth.

Verily, Allah (God) likes not each arrogant boaster

"And turn not your face away from men with pride, nor walk in insolence through the earth

Luqman teaches his child not be arrogant

Since arrogance is the main sin of Satan, which Satan teaches to

people

Because when a person has arrogance he sees that his opinions are the correct ones

regardless of what the creator advises him to do

The Noble Qur’an (31: 19)

In The Name of Allah (God) Almighty The Most Compassionate The Most Merciful

“And know your aim when you walk (i.e. travel), and lower

your voice. Verily, the harshest of all voices is the voice

(braying) of the ass."

“And know your aim when you walk (i.e. travel)

Luqman teaches his child to utilize his time to the fullest and to know his aim in life and not to wonder

without guidance

And lower your voice. Verily, the harshest of all voices is the voice (braying) of the ass.

Luqman teaches his child not to raise his voice when talking to people

Because that would drive away people and cause people not to concentrate on what

being said

The similitude is given to the voice of a donkey, since it is loud and causes people to be driven away from the source of the voice

The Basic Teachings of Luqman to His Son

The Basic Creed: The oneness of the creator (Allah (God) Almighty (i.e. not to take partners with the Almighty)

The Greatest Sign of The Creator: The resurrection of the dead on the Day of Judgment

The foundation of the acts of worship: Prayer The goal that you should be striving for: Striving to make

the word of the creator supreme The bedrock of how to deal with people: Not to be arrogant How to deliver the message to people: With soft words and

wisdom

The Noble Qur’an (17: 82)

In The Name of Allah (God) Almighty The Most Compassionate The Most Merciful

And Allah (God) sends down from the Qur‘an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe,

and it increases the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers)

nothing but loss

The Noble Qur’an (25: 30)

In The Name of Allah (God) Almighty The Most Compassionate The Most Merciful

The Noble Qur’an (10: 10)

And the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) will say: "O my Lord! Verily, my people

deserted this Qur‘an

Their way of request therein will be Glory to You, O Allâh! and Salâm (peace, safe from each and every evil) will be their greetings therein (Paradise)! and the close of their request will be: Al-Hamdu Lillâhi Rabbil-'Alamîn [All the praises and thanks are to

Allah (God), the Lord of 'Alamîn (mankind, jinns and all that exists)].
