              before
              reading Qur�an

              Seek Refuge in Allah
              
              
              
               
              
              Allah
              says in the Qur�an
              
              
              فَإِذَا
              قَرَأْتَ
              الْقُرْآنَ
              فَاسْتَعِذْ
              بِاللّهِ
              مِنَ
              الشَّيْطَانِ
              الرَّجِيمِ
              
              
              
              
              �
              When you read the Qur�an, seek refuge in Allah from Shaitaan,
              the accursed one. (An-Nahl-16:98)
              
              
              
               
              
              Therefore,
              when we start reading the Qur�an, we must say
              
              
              اَعُوذُبِاللّهِ
              مِنَ
              الشَّيْطَانِ
              الرَّجِيم
              
              �A�uudhu
              billahi minash shaitawnir rajeem�.
              
              
              �I
              seek refuge in Allah from Shaitaan, the accursed one.�
              
              
              
               
              
              Then
              we must start each reading with Bismillah
              
              
              
               
              
              2.
              In the Name of Allah
              
              
              
               
              
              بِسْمِ
              اللهِ
              الرَّحْمٰنِ
              الرَّحِيْمِ
              �Bismillahir
              Rahmanir Raheem�.
              
              
              In
              the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the most Merciful.
              
              
              
               
              
              This
              is the first Ayah (verse) of the Qur�an.
              
              
              Ar-Rahmaan
              and Ar-Raheem are two of Allah�s beautiful names.
              
              
              Ar-Rahmaan
              means �the Most Gracious�.
              
              
              Ar-Raheem
              means �the Most Merciful�.
              
              
              Remember
              that Allah has ninety-nine names.
              
              
              All
              the names of Allah are beautiful.
              
              
                                                                                      
              
              
              
              The
              Qur�an has one hundred and fourteen chapters or Surahs.
              
              
              Every
              Surah of the Qur�an, except one begins with Bismillah.
              
              
              Only
              Surah at-Tawbah (chapter-9) does not start with Bismillah.
              
              
              In
              this surah Allah shows His anger against the Mushrikun.
