Certainly! Here’s a rephrased version of the points you provided:
The Qur’an is revealed upon the best of prophets, Muhammad, by the archangel Jibreel, during the month of Ramadan, in the honored city of Mecca and the two sanctuaries, which are Medina.
The best one of the people is the one who learns the Qur’an and teaches it to others. Every letter read from the Book of Allah yields rewards. Each letter is substituted with ten good deeds.
The longest verse of the Qur’an is verse 282 in Surah Al-Baqarah, which is also known as the Aayah of Debt.
M AYAH OF KURSI: It is part of verse 255 in Surah Al-Baqarah and is perceived to be the best verse in the whole of Qur’an. Hazrat Jafar ibn Muhammad narrates in Shia sources that this verse permits the reciter and Paradise, except for death, to face each other—meaning that, after every obligatory prayer, if one recites it.
Surah Al-Fatihah is called this because it is the first chapter in the Quran. It is recited in the start of prayers. It is fardh to recite in every prayer, and the salat is not accepted if one does not recite it.
It is commonly known that the last three chapters of the Quran are read for healing and to seek protection from the bad.
This is the most read book in the entire world.
Memorization of the Qur’an will mean that its reciter’s parents receive a great recompense in the life hereafter.
It was the companions of Prophet Muhammad who have been brought into radical changes by the Qur’an in their lives; and their example is given to guide men into following suit.
The example of one of the companions, namely ‘Ubayy ibn Ka’b, is an expert reciter of the Qur’an, and now he dies when finally committing it to writing.
The Qur’an was sent with the mission to guide humanity; the acting of it requires much reflection and pondering over its verses. Learning Arabic should be done to help in the understanding and implementation of the message in the Qur’an.
Quran changed the companions of the Prophet Muhammad. We need to strive to follow in their footsteps.
‘Ubayy ibn Ka’b, may Allah be pleased with him, is one of the famous companions for his skill in the recitation of the Quran.
The message of the Quran is to guide people, and its principles should be implemented through pondering and reflecting upon it. It follows that the Arabic language, being a primary means toward this end, must be learned.
The shortest verse in the Quran is in Surah Ar-Rahman, verse 64.
Surah Al-Kawthar is the shortest Surah in the Holy Quran and is numbered as the 108th Surah.
The Holy Quran is a book of both physical and spiritual healing.
The main subject of The Holy Quran is the Tawheed or Oneness of God. The people who pass their lives sincerely for the Almighty Allah in this world will achieve success in this world and the hereafter, and the one who do not have any belief in the Tawheed will face the greatest results of Islam.
Furqaan, Tanzil, Dhikr, Kitab, etc., are some of the other names for the Quran.
The one who can recite and read the Quran fluently will be able to achieve the honor of joining the noble ambassadors, which means the angels.
For the one who finds difficulty in reading the Quran, there is double the reward.
In the Surah “Abasa”, the intensity of the Day of Judgment is described, where even the closest relatives will leave each other alone.
The Quran messages the sincere repentance to Allah, for frequent sinning darkens the heart and degenerates spiritually.
Ibn Mas’ood: “The one who loves the Quran loves Allah and His Messenger.”
Living out wicked desires and sins darkens the heart and sends its soul nose-diving below spiritually dark levels.
It is easier for the Imam in prayers to read short Surahs or verses of the Quran, looking after the people in front of him.
The Prophet Muhammad used to read Surah Al-A’la and Surah Al-Ghaashiyah in the Friday (Jumu’ah) prayer.
In Surah Al-Fajr, by “ten nights” is meant the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, which means much for Almighty.
As it condemns the sin of neglect of the orphan, Surah Ɲalƒajr suggests a tacit commandment for them to be respected. Much before that, the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad, peace be upon him, also emphasized wholly on the proper treatment of the orphans. The best Muslim household is that well treating the orphan, while the worst one is that ill-treating orphans.
In Surah Al-Fajr, verse 23: Allah says indeed, Hell will be brought near that Day. According to a narration by Imam Muslim from Ibn Mas’ood, Hell will be drawn near by seventy thousand reins, each held by seventy thousand angels.
Qur’an encourages charity to relatives more, for it combines one factor, that is, of giving, plus the other, of strengthening the bond between two set families.
The Surat Ad-Duha was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in the period of the pause of the revelation, which comforted him after a comment from a woman that his spiritual guide had abandoned him.
The first verses of revelation were the first of Surah Al-‘Ala. In Surah Al-Qadr verse 5, the peace is upon those who are performing prayers until the time of dawn.
Allah describes humanity as being of many ungrateful to Him in Surah Al-‘Adiyat. Al-Hasan al-Basri mentioned that ingratitude happens when a person counts his afflictions but forgets his blessings from Allah.
Surah Al-Qari’ah, verse 11, regards Hellfire as a raging fire, meaning it is more acute than worldly fire by a wide margin.
Surah At-Takathur 5: on the Day of Resurrection, they will be questioned about their indulgences and pleasures from this world
Imam Shafi’i said: “If mankind thought upon [Surah Al-‘Asr] alone, it would suffice them for their improvement.”
Surah Al-Ma’un: complains of those who repulse the orphan with harshness and do not encourage feeding the indigent
The Quran has 55 names and attributes, among them: Kitaab, Kalaam, Noor, Huda, Rahmah, Furqaan, and Gives.
This is one of the most general and useful prayers, the supplication in Surah Al-Fatihah: “Guide us to the straight path.”
Therefore, Allah has also thrown those who do KUFFUR willingly or on purpose into the disparagement with all kinds of disgrace.
Prophet Muhammad repeatedly recited Surah Al-‘Imran verse 84 in the Sunnah of the first rak’ah of Fajr prayers, and this verse shows the right importance in believing in all prophets.
Surah Muhammad, verse 19, says that indeed there is only one God, so consider His beautiful names and attributes.
Surah Ghafir, verse 55, says to beseech the forgiveness of Allah with all humility and by performing deeds with sincerely intent.
Allah will verily defend the people who have Imaan from the dangers of the world and the Hereafter, says Surah Al-Hajj, verse 38.
Indeed among the strategies by which believers can invoke Allah for help in the face of disaster was believed to be recitation of Prophet Yunus’s supplication in Surah Al-‘Ambiyaa verse 87. In Surah Al-Ma’idah, verse 16, light from Allah is explained in which all the paths that go to peace approach the pleasure of Allah by such who surrenders themselves to Him whereby leading them out of darkness.
Arrogant pride is forbidden even to the weight of an atom. In Surah Al-Isra, verse 37, it is mentioned that one should not walk on earth with conceitedness and arrogance.
In Surah Al-Furqan, verse 70, it mentions that those who repent, believe, and do righteous deeds, then Allah would exchange their sins into good deeds and forgive them.
Surah Al-A’raf, verse 199, tells to turn away from the ignorant person, which means not to pay attention to him at all.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 43, tells the believers to establish prayer, exercising caution; whether it is offered properly and accounted for in the religion.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 239, relates to taking care of the prayers, particularly mentioning Asr, for a good reason and the fact that during this time, the angels are around to witness it.
Surah Al-Qasas, verse 26, relates to hiring good, trustworthy people for any work.
Quranic stories are models of truth in the way the message of Allah has to be delivered. The prophet must be patient, truthful, and persistent.
Jealousy is another issue that destroyed his own son, as seen in the account of Adam and his son. The hadith relates how jealousy will eat a person the way fire devoured wood and other inflammable things, which were also his son’s. However, the hadith also illustrates the virtues of charity, prayer, and fasting.
The chastisement that the people of Nuh received reflects the compensation for the believers and the suffering of the disbelievers. The story of Nuh teaches one to spread the word of Allah with patience and perserverance.
The name of Allah should always be invoked and mentioned when one embarks on a journey because not only will it bring Divine protection but also act as a lead for a safe journey. This is evident from the lines of the Qur’an in Surah Hud and Surah Al- Mu’minun.
The Dawah of the prophets is the same, and by rejecting one prophet, it can be deemed as rejecting all the prophets. This comes out in several verses of the Quran.
d. Inherited beliefs can sometimes be an impediment to receiving the truth. One can learn from the Life of Prophet Ibrahim, as Shaykh pointed in Surah Al-Mumtahanah
e.Prophet Ibrahim occupies a different status from other prophet being, the Khaleel of Allah, expressing the rarest and the highest form of Allah’s love.
Intending good deeds is rewarded, though not acted upon. This is shown in the story of Ibrahim and Isma’il.
Cheating in measurements, such as in Shu’ayb’s story, is a wicked sin that leads to ruin.
Encouraging good requires one to live by it. Prophet Shu’ayb emphasized that one should be content with what is lawfully acquired for sustenance.
Prayer is a method of commanding good and preventing evil, too, as the disbelievers perceived in the Shu’ayb account.
There is so much benefit in praying to the extent that it actually wards off the sense of immorality and badness, as Allah has said in Surah Al-Ankabut.
Wisdom from Allah causes such things to happen where people feel the bad for.
In the flesh, the Quran describes Ibrahim as the Khalil of Allah, showing the highest form of love from Allah to him and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon them).
This prevention to the act does not nullify its reward when one intends to do good since it is manifest in the act of submission of Ibrahim and his son Isma’il to the command of Allah.
The tale of the people of Shu’ayb is one of those things that destroy people by resorting to tinker measures to get more.
As was the case with Prophet Musa, it is more prudent to run from possible harm to steer away from any unwarranted repercussions.
Seeking the help of Allah, realizing one’s needs and wants from Him, as was the supplication of Prophet Musa is his time of need, is significant.
Being made to rule evil, as was the case with Fir’aun, is one of the gravest forms of punishment, as the individual in question has essentially failed in all aspects.
The supplication offered by Prophet Musa, where he asked Allah to make his brother a prophet, is an example of transcending the good of others.
Believers must always call for the protection and help of Allah in all matters because He listens and observes.
Patience and attentiveness are required when one is learning from a teacher to gain knowledge, as was elaborated by Al-Khidr and Prophet Musa.
Allah preserves the property and offspring of the righteous, as was elaborated by Al-Khidr in repairing the ruined wall.
Interpretation of dreams should be based on the knowledge and experience of Prophet Yusuf, who was a good dream interpreter.
Hiding blessings will save one of the jealousy and the harm, like Prophet Ya’qub’s advice to Prophet Yusuf.
The story of Yusuf also impresses the fact that one should keep one’s eye fixed upon their eventual end and, therefore, not on momentarily gained pleasures.
One isolates or separates them in the loneliness of a person of the opposite gender, it gives rise to evil provocation and leads to evil, just as the story of Prophet Yusuf and the woman.
The faithful, wise, and true are saved from evil, and evasion of temptation is shown through the example of Prophet Yusuf.
Evil has to be fled from the condition when tempted, as Prophet Yusuf did.
Good qualities include internal and physical beauty. A pure heart, such as that of Prophet Yusuf, is an exemplar of internal beauty, while he was also very attractive physically.
One should ask Allah to protect him from evil whenever he is tempted, as demonstrated by the prayer of Prophet Yusuf.
And in that, loving and worshiping Allah in any situation, of even the most dire hardship, as seen in the example of Prophet Yusuf, who prayed and worshiped Allah in prison.
There is no wrong in trying to clear one’s name of things said falsely. Prophet Yusuf did not accept to go out of the prison until Allah proved the same.
In so doing, it is not showing off if there are things necessary for some purpose. So Prophet Yusuf mentioned his skills when he was asked to take care of the storehouses.
Truly, any knowledge is power, and pursuing knowledge successfully passes one through life, that was what Yusuf did with his capacity for interpretation and planning.
Knowledge about a person’s mistake counts enough to arouse suspicion, as is visible in the way Ya’qub was painstakingly guarded in his children.
Success in this world and the Hereafter comes with pious conduct and patience, Yusuf realizes as he acknowledges his thanks to Allah in conclusion.
Youth should rise against evils in society, as the youths in Surah Al-Kahf declined idol worship and sought refuge in a cave.
Being gentle in one’s dealing with Muslims and non-believers is advised, since by allowing his opponent to continue practicing his faith, Prophet Muhammad’s leniency helped to bring unity among his followers.
The support of the religion of Allah is ensured of success in this world and in the Hereafter because Allah promises to support those who support His cause.
