Explanation of Surah, Para, Juzz,chapter
Mu' meneen Brothers
and Sisters,
As Salaam Aleikum wa
Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be
upon all of you)
One of our
brothers/sisters has asked this question:
dear sir
assalamoalaikum
thank you so much
for every thing. i think there is an error in typing. surah Anbiyaa
is in Cp. 17 not 21.
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 21 Surah Anbiyaa verses 83-84: And (remember) Ayyub when he cried
to his Lord "Truly distress has seized me, but Thou art the Most
Merciful of those that are merciful." So We listened to him: We
removed the distress that was on him, and We restored his people to him and
doubled their number as a Grace from Ourselves, and a thing for commemoration
for all who serve Us.
forgive me if i am
wrong.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no
person, no grave, no prophet, no imam,
no dai, nobody!) worthy of
worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His
slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
We sincerely apologize for the
misunderstanding; because when we write
Chapter we basically mean the Surah number and not the Para or Juzz
number. The Quran comprises of 114
Surahs, and is divided in 30 Paras or
Juzz. What we mean when we write
Chapter 21, is that Surah Anbiyya is
the 21st Surah or Chapter of the Holy Quran.
It is indeed true that Surah
Anbiyya is in the 17th Para or Juzz of the Quran, but it is the 21st Surah or
Chapter of the Holy Quran.
We sincerely apologize for the
misunderstanding between the terms of Chapter,
Surah, Juzz and Para, which we should have clarified earlier.
May Allah Subhanah bless you for
bringing this misunderstanding to our notice.
Whatever written of
Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever
of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows
Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in
Islam,
