Beschrijving
This 8-lesson Learning Plan is an English-adapted summary of Ta'dhim Allah Ta'ala fi Hidayat Al-Quran Al-Karim. (The Holistic View of the Human Being in the Guidance of the Noble Qur’an.) The work was prepared by the Qur’anic Guidance Chair research team, with the cover naming Prof. Dr. Taha Abidin Taha Hamad, Dr. Yasir ibn Hafiz Qari, and Dr. Fakhr al-Din al-Zubayr Ali as members of the research team, while the catalog record attributes the work to Dr. Taha Abidin Taha Hamad. The original work in Arabic studies magnifies Allah as a Quranic, creedal, spiritual, and practical subject rooted in Allah’s names, attributes, signs, commands, sacred limits, and the life of the heart.
The plan explores what it means to truly revere Allah: to know His greatness, honor His commands, glorify His names, reflect on His signs, submit in worship, and avoid what weakens reverence. It is designed to help the reader move from knowing that Allah is Great to living with Allah’s greatness present in the heart, tongue, worship, choices, and conduct. It teaches that true reverence is not merely a feeling or a phrase on the tongue. It is knowledge of Allah, awe before Him, love for Him, submission to His command, honoring what He honors, and fleeing from everything that weakens the heart’s sense of His majesty.
