All (SWT) also said:
“And we have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and be remembered, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?”
(Al-Qamar 54:17)
“The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Quran, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong).”
(Al-Baqarah 2:185)
Allah (SWT) says:
“Verily! We have sent it down in the Night of Al-Qadr (Decree).”
(Al-Qadr 97:1)
‘Ibad Allah!
The month of Ramadan is known as the month of sacrifice and fasting. It is also known and recognized and known as the month of the Quran.
Allah revealed the Quran, a beacon of light that cannot be extinguished. A methodology and way of life that is perfect in all respect. In it is strength that cannot be equaled or repelled. It is the foundation of Iman and the spring of knowledge. Allah Willed that the Quran be what quenches the thirst for knowledge. It is the delight of the people of wisdom.
The Quran is the greatest cure for all ailments. The Quran is Allah’s Rope that cannot be severed. It is the Wise reminder and the truly straight path. In the Quran are the parables of those who were before us, a prophesy of that which will be after us and a criterion to judge between us. It is Truth with certainty that was revealed to us.
The one who lives according to its dictation will be rewarded. The one who judges according to it will be just. The one who calls to it is on the straight path. Allah raises and lowers people with it. The Quran, on the Day of Judgment, will intercede on behalf of those who recited it.
The Book of Allah to mankind’s guidance, is like the soul in relation to the body. Therefore, he who abandons its recitation and does not act in accordance to its laws is in a state of spiritual death.
A person without Quran is like a person without water, air and medicine.
Allah (SWT) says:
“And We send down from the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe.”
(Al-Isra’ 17:82)
The Quran is a healing for the body and soul. Whenever life becomes hard and complicated the Light of the Quran will always brighten the way. It will be a source of solace and tranquility. It will be a defender to you when you are powerless and in need.
The Muslim, who recites the Quran and will feel the Sakina and tranquility in his heart and being. This causes them only to fear Allah alone and no other.
Nothing is more valuable to a Muslim in his worldly life and in the Hereafter than reciting the Quran and reflecting and trying to comprehend its meaning. In doing so an individual will become acquainted with what is good and what is evil. He will see the effects of disobedience of Allah and its punishment in the parables of those who have come before us. An example of such a punishment is the flood that was sent upon the people of Nuh (A.S.) and others similar to it. It is a source of inspiration and strengthens one’s belief in Allah.
He (SWT) says:
“Do they not think deeply in the Quran, or are their hearts locked up (from understanding it)?”
(Muhammed 47:24)
What has happened to our hearts O ‘Ibad Allah? Why are our hearts locked out and unresponsive to the Quran? Why do the words enter from one ear and exit out the other. Why have our hearts hardened?
Let us comprehend the Quran and implement it in our lives. Let us be from those who implement the Quran in our days and recite it during our nights.
“O Allah! Make the Quran the delight of our hearts and the light of our breasts and the remover of our pain, sorrow and discomfort.”
Aameen!!!
