Naru llahi lmouqadah.
Allaty taTtali3u 3ala l-afidah.
Innaha 3alayhim mouSsaDdah.
Fee 3amadim mumaddadah.

Meanings of words:
Waylun= woe ,but is also a river in Hell called wayl.
*In the transliteration I wrote : waylul, I put an l instead of the n ,because here we must apply the principal of idgham,where if there is an n or tanween followed by a letter of idgham ,we must intone or merge the n with the next letter in this case it is l.

likulli=for every

humazatin= backbiter(when read it alone you pronounce the last n,when it is read with the next word that begins with an idgham letter).

*lumazah=slanderer

allathy=who

jama3a= collected

malan= money,wealth(also read alone pronouncing the last n,but if followed by a letter of idgham,then it is merged,intoned with the w,so it read malaw wa3addadah).

anna = that

malahu = his money,malaha(her money),malahum(their money)

here (la) is for assurance, (yu) is indicating him,(anna)also for assurance,the root of the word is nabitha and it means discarded,thrown away.

Ma = what

Adrak =realise

Naar(u)= Fire,u is the Ddahmma on top of the r

allathi(masculine)

**I have used the number 3 to indicate the letter"ayn" since it is used so often.
li = for
eelaf =familiarity,(the "i" at the end of elafi is the kasrah under the "f")
Quraish = noblest tribe of Arabia(to which belonged the holy prophet himself).
eelafihim = eelaf is familiarity ("him" means their)
riHhlah = journey(again we read it riHhlata because we did not read it alone in the ayah it is added to the next word so we say riHhlata-shitaa-ee)
shitaa-ee = winter(notice here the aleph at the end of shitaa it is elongated,and you can see the sign~ on top of it in the quran,indicating the elongation)the "ee" is the sound of the"hamza" at the end of the word with the sound of the "kasrah".

Wa la yaHhuDdu aala Ttaami-lmiskeen.
Fa waylun lilmuSsalleen.
Allatheena hum aan Ssalatihim sahoon.
Allathena hum yura-ouna ,wayamnaouna almaoun.

Meanings of words:
1)Ara-ayta = did you see

*(ra-a means he saw,ra-at =she saw,ra-aw =they saw,ra-ayna=we saw, ra-ayta=I saw,or you sawetc)
*(a at the beginning of the word ara-ayta is a letter used for questioning,here meaning did).

llathi = it originally is allathi but because there is a fatha at the end of ara-ayta and the a at the beginning of allathi is aleph waSsl we do not pronounce it.

yukath~bu = denies (disbelieves), past tense kath~ba=denied, I deny=ukath~bu.
*I am using this sign ~ instead of an arabic sign called shadda,this shadda means that the letter is repeated twice once silent with a sukoon on top and tha other moving with fatha or Ddammah or kasrah on top,so when the l;etter is read it has to sound like two letters(as t in letter.)

bi= in
-ddeen =religion , in thus case it is the Day of Judgement.

2)Fa =so
thalika = that one
yadou = repulses
lyateem = the orphan , yateem =orphan, al= the(but here we do not read it alyateem when read with the previous word).

SURAT AL_KAWTHAR:

Bismillahi-rrahmani-rraheem

"Innaa a'aTtaynaka alkawthar.
Fa Ssalli li rabbika wan-Hhar.
Inna shani-aka huwal-abtar."

1)Innaa=We have
(I added an extra "a" at the end of the word indicating what is called"madd",which means elongating the aleph at the end,so it sounds like two aa's which is indicated by a crooked line on top of the aleph which is the "madd' sign).

2)a'aTtaynak = given you
a'aTtaynakum(given you P.M.),a'aTtaynahum(given them M.)
a'ataynaki(singular feminine),a'aTtaynahunna(given them F.)

3)al-kawthar = the name of a river in heaven(or fountain)which Allah has promised the prophet (sala Allahu alyhi wasallam).

*again notice here that in the reading of the ayah we read it
-lkawthar,because of the lam shamsiyah.

5)Ssalli= pray
6)li =to
7)rabbika =your Lord(rabb=Lord,ka=pronoun ,your,rabbikum=your Lord M.P.)
(8) InHhar = sacrifice(again we read it wa-nHhar,because here we have what is called aleph mawsoolah,meaning connected so we do not sound the "a" we just connect it to the preceding letter in this case
"wa-nHhar",unlike the one that has a hamza on top which must be read "a" as in apple such as "antum" in surat alkafiroon ayah (5).

9)inna = it is
10) shani-aka =(your,"ka")hater
11)huwa =he
12)al-abtar = cut off(again notice here the "al" at the beginning of the word is al-shamsiyah so when it read in the middle of a sentence we do not pronounce the "a").

Surat AnnasSr

Sura 111:AL-NASSR:
This surah was the last to be revealed (as a whole sura),although the aya :"This day I have perfected your religion for you...." are the last words of the quran to revealed.
Bismillahi-rrahmaani-rraheem
"Itha ja-a* naSsru-llahi walfat-Hh . Wa ra ayta-nnassa yadkhuloona fee deeni-llahi afwaja.
Fa sab-biHh biHhamdi rabbika wastaghfirh.
Innahu kana tawwaba."

itha = if
ja-a = came(he),ja-at(she came),ja-ou(they came),ji'-na(we came)
naSsr = victory(here it means Allah's help)
-llahi = Allahi,but when we read it together with naSsr it becomes "naSSru-llahi" the letter "A" is silent .
wa=and
al-fatHh = victory(also opening)
also read -lfatHh,because of the word "wa" so the "al" which is (alshamsiyah)is not sounded,you can go back to arabic language pointers to understand more about this).
ra-ayta =(you) saw,
ra-ayti(you saw,F.,S.),ra-aytum(you saw M.,P.),ra-aytunna(you saw F.,P.),ra-aw(they saw),ra-ayna(we saw).

-nnasa= people

innahu =He was
kana= was
tawaba= Oft-returning(in forgiveness)
**F.=feminine
M.=masculine
P.=plural
S.=singular

---------------------------------------------------------------------
1-Here I would like you to notice something concerning the reading of the fatha and Ddammah and kasrah,if you stop at the end of an aya the letter does not have to be read with the vowel,example:
Al-fat-Hhu(the last word in the first aya)is written with a Ddammah on top of the Hh,so it is read fat-Hhu,but when we stop at the word itself we read it "fat-Hh" no "u",the Ddammah is nullified,if however you plan to read the first two ayas non-stop,that is without stopping at fatHh,then it is read like this:
"Itha ja a naSsru-llahi wal-fatHhu wara ayta-nnasa ...etc"
so the same with the other words at the end of any ayah,if you want to stop,then there is no vowel sound.
2-Also the two fatHhas on top of the letter "a" in the word "afwaja",if we are reading the next ayah as well without stopping we will sound the two fatHhas and it will be "afwajan",if we stop at the word itself then we say "afwaja",withouit sounding the vowels.
It will be read thus if we do not stop:
"fee deen-llahi afwajan fa sabbiHh biHhamdi....etc"
3-ja a* = the last a should be read like "a" in 'apple'
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The date of the sura was only a few months before the passing away of the prophet (sala Allahu alyhi wasallam).
"When comes the Help of Allah and the victory,and thou dost see the
People enter Allah's religion in crowds":
The prophet migrated to Madinah,a persecuted man.In madinah all the forces of truth and righteousness rallied around him,and the efforts by the Makkans and their confederates to destroy him and his community recoiled on their own heads.Graduallay all the outlying parts of Arabia ranged themselves round his standard and the bloodless conquest of makkah was the crown and prize of his patience and endeavour.
Every man should humble himself before Allah,confess his human frailties and seek Alllah's grace,attributing any success that he gets in his work,not to his own merits but to the goodness and mercy of Allah.

Surat Almassad

Surat 112:
Surat Al-masad:

Al-lahab,or the flame,Abu lahab,father of flame,is the nick-name of one of the prophet sala Allahu ayhi wasalams uncles.He was named so after his hot fiery temper and his ruddy complexion.
Abu lahabs wife was a woman of equally passionate spite and cruelty against the the person of the holy prophet.She used to tie bundles of thorns with ropes and twisted palm-leaf fiber and strew themin about on dark nights in the paths which the prophet was expected to take,in order to cause him bodily injury.

Lam yalid walam youlad.
Wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad.

Meanings of words:
-Qul = say (O Muhammad)
-huwa = He

-ahad = The One
-Ssamad= the Eternal,the Absolute

-yalid= beget(a son)
-wa= and
-youlad = begotten
-yakun= was
-lahu=unto Him
-kufuwan= kufuu equal,or like (an is added as two fat-has on the last letter a of the word).
-Ahad= one

*1)The first thing we learn is that Allahs nature is so sublime,so far beyond our limited conceptions.The best way that we can realise Him is to feel that He is a personality,and not a mere abstract conception of philosophy.He is near us,cares for us,we owe our existence to Him.
2) He is the One and only God ,the only One to whom worship is due.
All other beings or things that we can think of are His creatures and in no way comparable to Him.
3)He is eternal,without beginning or end,absoulte,not limited by space nor circumstance,the Reality.
4)We must not think of Him as having a son or a father,for that would be to import animal qualities into our conception of Him.
5)He is not like any other person or thing that we know or can imagine.His qualities and nature are unique.

Surat Annass

Assalamu alykum warahamatullahi wabarakatu
I am starting from the last suras ,because they are used in salat and are short and easier to learn by heart.

SURAT "ANNASS":

This early Makkan surah concludes the quran,in it is an appeal to trust Allah rather than in man,warning us especially about the whispers of the shaytan within our hearts.
This sura is one of two,called :"Al-mu'awithatayn",the other being Alfalaq.These two suras are read for seeking refuge in Allah subhanhu wata'ala.
*They should be read after every salat,plus ayat al-kursi(ayah 255)in surah2(al-baqarah),then one blows in his hands and wipes his face and whatever one can from the body.

*Evil insinuates itself in all sorts of insidious ways from within to sap man's will,which was given to him by Allah.
This power of evil maybe Satan,or evil men,or the evil inclinations within man's own will.For there are 'evil ones' among men and jinns,inspiring each other with flowery discourses by the way of deception.They secretly whisper evil,then withdraw,to make their net the more subtle and alluring.

*Note:
In arabic the verbs and the subject could be in one word,for example the verb "kataba"(to write):
(ana) aktubu = I write
Huwa yaktubu =he writes
hiya taktubu = she writes
(hum) yaktuboun =they (male)write
*All I need to say is :
"aktubu",and the it understood right away that I write,no need for I ,because of the "a" at the beginning of the verb.
*also "yaktubu" =(he) writes,and without saying 'he' all I need to say is yaktubu,so you know from the "y" that it is he who is writing.
* "taktubu" =she writes....etc

So here (a'outhu) the "a" is for "I".
2)seek refuge is all in one word,there is no exact english word for this meaning,so we need the two.
