Title: Heart-breaking dialogue between Nuh (a) and his son: Sura Hud 42-44 Post by: Muhammad on December 28, 2012, 02:11:35 pm salamem
I uploaded a few gems from Quran with Abdel Haleem's translation on. As many of you suggested to use Pickthall's translation, I will do it from next time inshallah. Recitation: Youssef Abkar English Translation: MAS Abdel Haleem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i69pMK8dOG4 Title: Re: Heart-breaking dialogue between Nuh (a) and his son: Sura Hud 42-44 Post by: Heba E. Husseyn on December 31, 2012, 02:06:02 pm That was beautiful. I think the Message it contains is even stronger in modern times especially nowadays when the trend of Muslims immigrating to the West has gotten so common. Parents often downplay the importance of faith to please their children who have assimilated in non-believing culture. They need to learn from Prophet Noah (pbuh) - the firmness of his character to recognize what's right and not be distracted by his heart. Following the verses in the recitation of this video, Verses.11:45-47, are also very moving where for a moment Prophet Noah gives in to his fatherly sentiments for his son and asks Allah Almighty "My Lord! Lo! my son is of my household!" and Allah Almighty replies to him by reprimanding him "O Noah! Lo! he is not of thy household; lo! he is of evil conduct, so ask not of Me that whereof thou hast no knowledge. I admonish thee lest thou be among the ignorant." And Prophet Noah immediately understands and humbly asks Allah to forgive him for his unthinking request saying "My Lord! Lo! in Thee do I seek refuge (from the sin) that I should ask of Thee that whereof I have no knowledge. Unless Thou forgive me and have mercy on me I shall be among the lost." Indeed it's heart throbbing .. it teaches us so much. Praise be to You, ya Allah. Thank you so much br. Muhammad. I loved watching this. |
