Lesson 8


This lesson starts with the first four verses of Surat ar-Rahmân, (Surah 55),
and this is not even in the last part of the Qur'an but right in the midst:
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. The Beneficent - He has taught the Qur'an.
He has created the human being. He has taught him clear (speech).

 
  • The Dâd is pronouced nearly like the Dâl in lesson 4 but emphatic (with pressure). When it is pronounced correctly, the following vowel sounds hollow.
  • The Kha sounds like ch in Schottish "loch".
    Some prophets and messengers have a surname in addition to their name which is often used in poetry but also elsewhere.In this lesson there are some examles:
    Abraham is Allah's friend.
    Moses is Allah's interlocutor.
    Jesus is Allah's spirit.
    Muhammad is Allah's messenger.
    May Allah's blessings and peace be with all of them!
