And We sent down in the Quran such things in which there are a
healing andmercyfor thebelievers (17:82)
As an ornament do they adorn me;
Yes, they keep me and sometimes kiss me.
In their celebrations they recite me.
In disputes they swear by me.
On shelves do they securely keep me;
Till another celebration or dispute, when they need me
Yes, they read me and memorise me.
Yet only an ornament am I.My message lies neglected, my treasure untouched
The field lies bare, where blossomed once true glory
Wrong is the treatment that I receive
So much to give have I, but none is there to perceive
The Glorious Quran serves as an inspiration to millions of Muslims
whoregardit as a boundless reservoir of guidance andhope. The
Quran shapes our thinking and determines our values. It
provides comfort to the anxious, hope to the despondent, courage to the
faint-hearted, faith to the despairing and direction to the confused. The
glorious Quran serves as the fountain of wisdom which nourishes the
spirit, the mind and the heart. It is a healing for our broken spirit, a mercy
forthe Believers andforgiveness forthe wayward.
TheQuran hasdescribesitselfas:
And hold fast all together to the Rope of Allah.
(3:103)
A Book We have sent down to you so that
you may bring forth mankind from the darkness into the light......
(14:1)
We have sent down to you (O Muhammad) in
truth so that you might judge between men as guided by Allah.
(4:105)
Truth has come and
error hasvanished; verily error is fleeting. (27:73)
O mankind! Verily there has come
to youa convincingproofand a light from your Sustainer(4:174)
Lo! This Quran guides to
that which is most upright. (17:9)
The Quran serves as the foundation of our faith, the Word of Allah, the
final and complete revelation, the foundation and framework of Islamic
law, the source of Islamic thought and action. The Quran is best described
in the words of our Master Nabi who said: "(It is) the Book of Allah in
which there is information of those before you, prophesies of what will
happen after you and judgment of what is (presently) among you. It is
decisive, not amusing entertainment. Whoever shuns it repressively will be
destroyed by Allah. Whoever seeks guidance from other than it will be left
to stray by Allah.
The Quran is the unbreakable rope of (rescue) from Allah; it is the (Dhikr)
remembrance full of wisdom and the straight path. Affection to it will not
mislead, nor will tongues become weary by it, nor will the scholars feel
satiated by it, nor will it loose its sanctity on account of repeated recitation.
Its wonders never cease, it is the very the Book that when the Jinn heard it
they were constrained to declare: We have undoubtedly heard an amazing
Quran that guides to rightouesness, we accordingly believe in it...
Whoever speaks by it is truthful, whoever acts by it will be rewarded,
whoever judges by it is just and whoever calls to it will be guided to the
straight path (Tirmidhi)Man is the subject of the Quran. It narrates the story of man as an integral
whole it describes all the stages of mans journey to his ultimate
destination-- birth, life, death, resurrection and the judgment of his deeds.
"It is a Book We have sent down to you, full of blessing, so let people of
intelligence ponder its Signs and take heed." (38:29) How do we enjoy the
blessings of the Quran and how do we ponder and take heed from the
Quran?The sixprimary functionsof theQuranare:
Verily the one who recites the Quran
beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, he will be in the company of the
noble and obedient angels. And as for the one who recites with
difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses, then he will
have TWICE that reward. (Bukhari andMuslim)
Will they not then
ponderover this Quran or arethere locks upon their hearts? (47:24)
When Allah and His
Messenger have decreed a matter, it is not for a believing man and a
believing woman to claim freedom of choicerhave an option insofar as
they themselves are concerned. Whoever disobeys God and His
Messenger has evidently gone astray. (33:36)
And when he (Nabi ) recited the
verses which referred to the Glory of Allah, he glorified Him, the Great,
and when he recited the verses that mention supplication, he
supplicated, and when he recited the Verses that mention seeking
Refuge of theRabb he sought(His)Refuge. (Muslim)
Those who believe and whose hearts
find rest in the remembrance of Allah, verily, in the remembrance of f
Allah do heartsfind rest. (13:28)
The best of you are those who
learn theQuran andteachit (Bukhari)
MayAllah Taaala grant us the ability to embrace theQuran with our hearts
and souls.
