Surah 25: Al-Furqan (The Criterion) - Recited by Ahmed Abdelhamid Tahoun

Al-Furqan is the twenty-fifth chapter of the Holy Qur'an, consisting of 77 verses. It is a Meccan Surah named "The Criterion" because the Qur'an serves as the standard by which truth is distinguished from falsehood.

The Surah opens with praise for God, who sent down the Criterion (the Qur'an) upon His servant. It vigorously refutes the various objections of the polytheists against the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the nature of the Revelation.

Key Themes in Surah Al-Furqan include:

* Divine Origin: Strong arguments confirming that the Qur'an is the true word of God, not fabricated human speech.
* Prophetic History: Recounting the fate of previous nations that denied their messengers, such as the people of Noah and 'Ad, as a warning.
* Signs in Creation: Pointing to the vast and perfect creation (the shadow, the night and day, the wind, the sea) as evidence of God's power.
* Ibad ar-Rahman: Concluding with a profound and beautiful description of the essential noble qualities and conduct of the true servants of the Most Merciful.

25: Al-Furqan (The Criterion)

Surah 41: Fussilat (Explained in Detail) - Recited by Ahmed Abdelhamid Tahoun

Fussilat is the forty-first chapter of the Holy Qur'an, consisting of 54 verses. It is a Meccan Surah and is also called Ha-Mim Sajdah because it begins with the letters Hā Mīm and contains a verse of prostration (Sajdah, Verse 38).

The Surah’s core argument is the absolute clarity and perfection of the Qur'an, which is explained in detail for people of knowledge. It uses the signs of God in the universe—the creation of the heavens and the earth, the clouds, and the stars—as undeniable proof of His oneness and the certainty of the Hour.

Key Themes in Surah Fussilat include:

* The Divine Origin of the Qur'an: Affirming that the Qur'an is a clear Arabic revelation, sent as a warning and glad tidings, yet most people turn away.
* The Consequences of Rejection: Recounting the severe destruction that befell the people of 'Ad and Thamud due to their arrogance and denial of God's signs.
* The Perfect Balance of Creation: Detailing the creation of the earth and the heavens in six days, emphasizing God's flawless planning.
* The Call to Excellence: Containing the famous Verse 33: "And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and does righteousness and says, 'Indeed, I am of the Muslims.'"
