Al-Bitaqat: Chapters of the Noble Qur’an Explored in 114 Cards

Description

Traditionally, a student memorizes the entire Qur’an, or part of it, without knowing even the meaning of the name of the chapters—let alone realizing the reason for its name, its general objective, its authentic virtues, and the reason for its revelation. Allah says: “(This is) a book (the Qur’an) which we have sent down to you, full of blessings that they may ponder over its verses, and that men of understanding may remember.” (Surah Sad, 38:29) In line with the command to ponder on the Glorious Qur’an and to emulate the approach of the Companions, there is a need to compose a brief and comprehensive methodical text that introduces the chapters of the Glorious Qur’an. Dr. Yasir named it AL-BITẬQẬT: The Qur’anic Introductory Card (QIC). The QIC is an introductory program that prepares a memorizer, reciter, and student of the Glorious Qur’an methodically. It encourages the combination of memorization with meditation—unlike the traditional rote memorization as the focus of Qur’an memorization programs in most Islamic countries.
