In past we usually open such threads and then invite members to join us and complete reading Quran. Individuals pick different Sparah and before the end of this month, we were all finish reading Quran.
This year I thought something different. Hence we all or lets say majority of us read Holy Quran in this month and try to complete reading it. So I invite you all members in this thread to post any single word, verse from any Chapter currently which you are reading or an incident mentioned in the Holy Quran which you came across, so that many of us may be aware from it.
You may continue reading/memorizing as you are currently doing at your end but in case if you came across any chapter, verse and/or any incident mentioned in the Holy Quran then please share with so that we may also be benefit maximum from it.
This is because “The best among you is the one who learn and teach Quran”.
In Chapter 1, when we say "Ameen" after hearing 'ghayri almaghdoobi AAalayhim wala addalleen', if our utterance of "Ameen" coincides with that of the angels, then our past sins will be forgiven."
Chapter 2 verses 2-5: “This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah / a guidance unto those who ward off (evil) / to those who fear Allah / to those who guard (against evil) / a guidance to the pious”.
Who are they? They are those:
1- Who believe in the unseen,
2- Establish prayer,
3- Spend out of what Almighty Allah provided for them,
4- Believe in what has been revealed to Prophet Muhammad
5- and Believe in what was revealed before you and of the hereafter
They are on (true) guidance, from their Lord, and it is these who will prosper.
Chapter 2 verse 23-24: An open challenges to pagans, Jews, Christians and all disbelievers if they are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down i.e., the Quran to Our slave Muhammad then produce a chapter (Surah) of the like thereof and call your supporters and helpers besides Allah, if you are truthful. But if you do not - “and you will never be able to” - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the all disbelievers.
Chapter 2 verse 41: "Almighty Allah says you believe in Torah and in Gospel", then believe in Qur'an which I have sent down, confirming that which is with you, [the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)], and be not the first to disbelieve therein, and buy not with My Verses [the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] a small price (i.e. getting a small gain by selling My Verses), and fear Me and Me Alone.
Chapter 2 verse 58-59: "And (remember) when We said: "Enter this town (Jerusalem) and eat bountifully therein with pleasure and delight wherever you wish, and enter the gate in prostration (or bowing with humility) and say: 'Forgive us,' and We shall forgive you your sins and shall increase (reward) for the good-doers."
The summary of what the scholars have said about this subject is that the Children of Israel distorted Allah's command to them to submit to Him in tongue and deed. They were commanded to enter the city while bowing down, but they entered while sliding on their rear ends and raising their heads! They were commanded to say, Hittah' meaning, "Relieve us from our errors and sins.'' However, they mocked this command and said, "Hintah (grain seed) in Shairah (barley).'' This demonstrates the worst type of rebellion and disobedience, and it is why Allah released His anger and punishment upon them, all because of their sinning and defying His
commands.
**Why the Jews were called Yahud'?
**The Jews are the followers of Prophet Musa .a.s, who used to refer to the Torah for judgment. Yahud is a word that means,repenting', just as Musa said, We have Hudna (we repent, go back and return) unto You), (7:156).
**Why the Christians were called Nasara?
**Allah said; "Who will be my helpers in Allah's cause'' Al-Hawariyyun said: "We are the helpers of Allah.'' (61:14)
It was said that; they were called `Nasara', because they inhabited a land called An-Nasirah (Nazareth), as Qatadah, Ibn Jurayj and Ibn Abbas were reported to have said, Allah knows best.
Nasara is certainly plural for Nasran.

Who The Sabi'un or Sabians?
**There is a difference of opinion over the identity of the Sabians.
"The Sabians are between the Majus, the Jews and the Christians. They do not have a specific religion."
"The Sabians are a sect among the People of the Book who used to read the Zabur (Psalms), others say that they are a people who worshipped the angels or the stars".
The Sabians are neither Jews nor Christians nor Majus nor polytheists. Rather, they did not have a specific religion that they followed and enforced, because they remained living according to their Fitrah (instinctual nature). This is why the idolators used to call whoever embraced Islam a `Sabi', meaning, that he abandoned all religions that existed on the earth.
Some scholars stated that the Sabians are those who never received a message by any Prophet.
"And indeed you knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath (i.e. Saturday). We said to them: "Be you monkeys, despised and rejected.(And indeed you knew).
This Ayah means, O Jews! Remember that Allah sent His torment on the village that disobeyed Him and broke their pledge and their covenant to observe the sanctity of the Sabbath.
They began using deceitful means to avoid honoring the Sabbath by placing nets, ropes and artificial pools of water for the purpose of fishing before the Sabbath. When the fish came in abundance on Saturday as usual, they were caught in the ropes and nets for the rest of Saturday. During the night, the Jews collected the fish after the Sabbath ended.
When they did that, Allah changed them from humans into monkeys, the animals having the form closest to humans. Their evil deeds and deceit appeared lawful on the surface, but they were in reality wicked. This is why their punishment was compatible with their crime.This story is explained in detail in Surah Al-A`raf.
Chapter 2 verse 79: "Almighty Allah says that they altered previous book and wrote by their own hands then claimed it is from their true Lord. The did on purpose to get a a small price from it and that small price is this world.
Chapter 2 verse 81-82: "describe that the either a person will be among the companions of hell, or heaven, according to his/her deeds, and will live there forever".
Chapter 2 verse 96: "But they will never long for it because of what their hands have sent before them (i.e. what they have done).And Allah is Aware of the Zalimin. And verily, you will find them (the Jews) the greediest of mankind for life. meaning, greedy to live longer, because they know their evil end, and the only reward they will have with Allah is total loss. This life is a prison for the believer and Paradise for the disbeliever. Therefore, the People of the Book wish they could delay the Hereafter, as much as possible. However, they shall certainly meet what they are trying to avoid, even if they are more eager to delay the Hereafter than the polytheists who do not have a divine book.
