LI Qur'aan Contest.

:w:

[kadafi]

:sl:

I first would like to say jazaka'Allaahu khairun for participating in this contest. Insha'Allaah, I hope this has caused an awareness among LI members to study the Glorious Qur'aan and benefit from it.

Unfortunaley, there were some issues with the dates and times and I would like to apologise for this. Insha'Allaah, I hope the next contest will be more organized.

Alhumdillaah, there were no ties in the first and second place.

Firstly the answers to the questions:

Part 1:
Name one soorah (chapter) that ends with the letter "Laam" in every verse.

Answer: Soorah al-Feel

Part 2:
Name one verse in the Glorious Qur'aan that contains the word "Bal" three times.

Answer: Soorah Naml, verse 66, and Soorah Anbiya verse 5

Part 3:
Why does it say "Salamun 'ala Ilyasin" in verse 130 in soorah Saffat and not Ilyas?

Answer: Dialect of the tribe of Bani Asad

Part 4:
Why is the word "akhuhum" left out in soorah Shu'ara verse 177?

Answer: It was left out because of the meaning inherited in the name given to them.

Final part:
(1) In soorah Kahf verse 25, Allaah says "And they remained in their cave three hundred years and (some) add (another) nine." Why not just say 309 years?
(A): Solar and Lunar calendar

(2) What is the ayah where Allaah says he will do something and also commands the believers to do the same thing
(A): 33:56

(3) There is one soorah that was never given to any prophet before our Prophet nor was it revealed in the past scriptures (i.e. Injeel, Tauwrat, etc). Which soorah was that?
(A): Soorah Al-Fatiha

(4) Which soorah has in every ayah the word "Allaah"
(A): Soorah al-Mujaadalah

The winners are:

1st place: shinin_crescent

2nd place: amani

Congratulations.

[aljawaad]

yep, First one is over.

second one starts tomorrow, 28th JAN.
click here to reply.

Man but you said it would end on the 27th but the 27 is not over yet. That's not fair.:X

[Mainul_Islam]

for the 2nd part, i want to be clear on something.

does it HAVE to be the word "bal" or can it be like "bali" as a word?

[Tanzil Ahmed]

I was wondering that how come 29th can also come on Friday please correct this

[Tilmeez]

Dear Mods,
Please Confirm It Is "bal" (ba And Lam With Fatah)

[Hisbul_Aziz]

4 The Second Question Is It Supost To Be Surah Or Is It Just Ayah

[Tanzil Ahmed]

Its Ayah brother
not surat

[Ibn Abi Ahmed]

4 The Second Question Is It Supost To Be Surah Or Is It Just Ayah

:sl:

But just to be on the safe side, write down the Surah # and then the whole ayat.

:w:

[Takumi]

can we just write which chapter and the verse #?

[Tanzil Ahmed]

OH I have not wrote the whole ayat

NOw what to do

I have written the surah number and ayat number

[A7med]

OH I have not wrote the whole ayat

NOw what to do

I have written the surah number and ayat number

that should be ok :)

[Tanzil Ahmed]

Thanks for prompt reply other wise I would be cursing my self for not providing the whole ayat even though I was aware ofthat

[Mainul_Islam]

This contest is composed of five parts. This is the second part.
The end date is on Sunday 29th January 2006

:sl:

today is the 28th, it ends tomorrow.. why is part 2 closed now??

[Ibn Abi Ahmed]

:sl:

perhaps its going by UK timing? or GMT? :confused:

:w:

[Andaraawus]

As-Salamu alaykum

yep i was here at midnight , it closed then , im just waiting on next question

[Mainul_Islam]

thats really not fair :laugh:

if it was 12 at noon then i could understand but at midnight?? :laugh:

[Umm_Maysa]

The second question

Start Date: 28-01-2006
End Date: 30-01-2006

This contest is composed of five parts. This is the second part.
The end date is on Sunday 29th January 2006

:sl:
Why the 1st one said end date 30th while the 2nd one said end 29th? So when the 3rd part coming I hope it's not going to end in same day. Like what happen for the 1st two parts. Part one in 3 days, part two 2 days, part 3 one day and so on

[Mainul_Islam]

atleast it should warn us ahead of time that it will close on 12 am on UK's time! :(

[Khaldun]

:sl:

As for the Bal, yes its excatly as brother zAk said.

And brother Mainul_Islam what other time then UK did you think we used? hehe

And if you just post ayah its ok inshAllah, we'll figure it out, but its easier if you put surah and ayah inshAllah

[Mainul_Islam]

my question was not answered so i did not take the chance answering because i can post only once and cannot change my answer.


i was outside, and i came back home and went online at 7:15 and was expecting to have more time (atleast up to 5 more hours, or 8 (which will cover all of US)).

if i knew earlier that it will be closed in UK's time, i would have posted earlier. i have 2 verses in mind, but posted none of them :(


closing at noon would be most fair because all of the world's date will be the same

if i post it right here right now, will it still count?

[Tanzil Ahmed]

[Tanzil Ahmed]

The third question has asked that Why the word Ilayseen is used even though can also use Ilyas in place of Ilyaseen.

[Tanzil Ahmed]

But The answer is already published so there is no harm in discussing it now he is not discussing current one

[shinin_crescent]

:sl:

[ANSWER REMOVED]

[Khaldun]

:sl:

Could members please refrain from posting the answers here! It is very frustrating and ruining it for all the others, you should be ashamed.

[Khaldun]

:sl:

I am suprised at members! Do you really think I havent seen that there are more then one ayah as the answers?? The question didnt say, give me the only ayah, rather it said give me ONE ayah!

STOP POSTING THE ANSWERS HERE!

[Halima]

Assalaam Alaykum.

Members, please read the rules throughly before posting.

BarakAllahu Feekum.

Wa'salaam.

[Tanzil Ahmed]

Brother I want to know that about the current Question there are around 4 to 5 reasons shall we post all of them and Can we paste in Urdu the answer?

[Khaldun]

:sl:

there is only one correct answer, although please post the 5 answers you have. And Im sorry urdu wont be accepted

[Brother_Mujahid]

Ah man i missed the deadline i thought i t would be p.m and not a.m :grumbling

[aakhirah]

:sl:

I am suprised at members! Do you really think I havent seen that there are more then one ayah as the answers?? The question didnt say, give me the only ayah, rather it said give me ONE ayah!

STOP POSTING THE ANSWERS HERE!

Brother, I am truly surprised by your post (and for deleting my post!). The only reason why I posted an alternative answer was because you already gave the answer on the page (since the second competition had closed). The problem was that you only gave (and it still remains) one answer, so naturally those of us who'd given an alternative answer wanted to make sure you were aware of it which is why we decided to mention it.

Forgive me if this sounds rude, but I just wish to make things clear. And it was definitely not my intention to cause any problems, and indeed I haven't.

Was-salaamu 'alaykum

A.

[Khaldun]

:sl:

Brother, I am truly surprised by your post (and for deleting my post!).

SubhanAllah! I only deleted your post because you posted an answer, and there is nothing in my post to be suprised about.

The only reason why I posted an alternative answer was because you already gave the answer on the page (since the second competition had closed).

Why didnt you use the pm system dear brother?

The problem was that you only gave (and it still remains) one answer, so naturally those of us who'd given an alternative answer wanted to make sure you were aware of it which is why we decided to mention it.

Again, I never said there was only one answer to this Question. People seem to have misunderstood this, never at any point did I say there is only one answer. And please brother, give me some credit, If i ask a question I know the possibilities :brother:

And it was definitely not my intention to cause any problems, and indeed I haven't.

Next time please use the pm system, instead of posting answers publicly.


EDIT: The answer was added by brother Kadafi, thats the misunderstanding I believe.

[sshuraimno1fan]

i thought the deadline for 2nd question was 30th jan? that is what it says on the first page
and can i submit the 3rd question answer tomorrow?
wasalam

[Andaraawus]

ooooo that last one was hard .....can somebody post up the answer now the deadline has passed ...wasalams

[Khaldun]

:sl:

Please do not post asnwers here, if you check the answers are posted under where it says Correct Answer

The trap most members fell into was that they gave the answer based on another Qirat, namely that of Nafi' and Ibn Katheer who read it Salamun 'ala Aaaale Yasin. But if you noticed I did say that its all based on the Qirat of Hafs 'an Aseem and we pray it as Salamun 'ala Ilayseen. inshAllah dont despair though :)

To see what I mean, scroll forward to the bit where the shaykh recites about ilyas, this Qirat is Warsh 'an Nafi' he'll say Salamun 'ala Aaaaal Yasin :brother:

(if its no extra trouble, I would, out of curiosity, like to know how close I was in the overall standings inshaAllah to improve for next time :) JazakAllah khayr...if thats not possible no problem inshaAllah :) )

:w:

[Khaldun]

:sl:

I'd like to defend my answers if there's a chance. Especially for

(1) akhuhum

Your answer was

Shuaib is akh of Ashaabul Madyan not ashaabul aikah. Both are different groups of people.

Both of these people where the same group of people that Shuayb where sent to, Madyan and Ashabul Aykah are infact one group of people not two.

I'd like to defend my answers if there's a chance. Especially for

(2) Ilyasin

As for this one you didnt state the dialect of the Bani Asad, but mashAllah you did explain the link.

This is that he might know that I have not been decieving him in secret and that Allah does not guide the device of the decievers. [Surah Yusuf Ayah 52] :brother:

if its no extra trouble, I would, out of curiosity, like to know how close I was in the overall standings inshaAllah to improve for next time JazakAllah khayr...if thats not possible no problem inshaAllah

MashAllah you really did well, and may Allah reward you for your efforts, I havent had the chance to go through all the replies yet but at a quick glance it looks like you got almost all the answers right.


I would finally like to thank ALL the members who participated, Im really sorry if you didnt come first or second but at the end of the day thats not what matters, I hope you have benefited from this Quiz and you learnt something "new" and may Allah reward ALL your efforts :brother:

Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, We do not waste the reward of him who does a good work. [Surah Kahf Ayah 30]

If you really like this type of Quiz, then check out http://www.islamicboard.com/halal-fu...llenge-48.html inshAllah
