QUR'AN, FOR PEOPLE WHO THINK

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

In the name of Allah (swt) the most Merciful the Beneficent

I bear witness that there is no other god but the one true Allah and that Muhammad is his last and final messenger. We seek Allah’s forgiveness and all praise and thanks is to Allah (swt) alone. Whomever Allah (swt) guides none can misguide and whomever Allah (swt) leaves astray none can guide. May Allah (swt) have mercy and guide us all, ameen.

QUR'AN, FOR PEOPLE WHO THINK

My dear brothers and sisters, let me ask you some questions; you have the Quran at home, but how many times do you read it?

How many times did you do a dua or recited Al Fatiha as for guidance before reading the Quran?

How much did you understood from what you’ve read, and did you reflect upon the words of Allah (swt) after reading each verse?

Allah (swt) said in the Quran my dear brothers and sisters:

Thus Allâh makes clear His Ayât (Revelations, signs, laws e.t.c.) to you, in order that you may understand.

(Quran Surah Baqara 2:242)

The Quran is made in such way that the reader may understand the Quran, the Quran explains all.

“He (Allah) taught man what man did not know”. (Quran Surah 96 A: 5)

Allah (swt) teaches us in the Quran what we did not know.

“This is how We explain Our revelations in various ways” (The Holly Qur’an 6:105)



Allah (swt) explains to us His book the Quran in different ways…

"It is such that We clarify the revelations to a people who think." (The Holly Qur’an 10:24)

So that only the people with intelligence, those who THINK deep can understand the Quran…

"...except the one who comes to Allah with a pure heart." (The Holly Quran 26-89)

And those who seek guidance with a pure heart.

"We have sent down the Book(this Quran) to you making all things clear and as guidance and mercy and good news for the Muslims" (Surat an-Nahl: 89).

People who read the Quran with pure intention and open mind can understand the Quran clearly, that’s how Allah (swt) guides people to Islam, and this is when a truthful person becomes a true Muslim.

"And verily, this is My Straight Path, so follow it. And do not follow the other paths for they will separate you from His path." {Quran Surah Al-Ana'aam: 153]

This Islam is the straight path, Quran is the way to understanding God’s will , Quran is the straight path.



"This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion". (Soorah Al-Maa'idah 5:3)



Islam is the religion that God perfected and completed for us, and it is our duty to follow this wish of Allah (swt).

And follow not (O man i.e., say not, or do not or witness not) that of which you have no knowledge. Verily! The hearing, and the sight, and the heart, of each of those one will be questioned (by Allâh). (Quran Surah ISra 17:36)

Do not follow things blindly nor other paths from Islam and people who are astray. People who are away from Islam are misguided. Allah (swt) let them to be in that state because their heart is sick, they’re proud and only want to mock, so their mind is also closed and are unable to understand the Quran, but they don’t realize that they are mocking and misguiding their own self’s.

“The words of your Lord are complete in its truth and justice. Nothing can change His words – He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. If you obeyed most of those on earth, they would lead you away from the path of Allah. They follow nothing but speculation – they are merely guessing.” (The Holly Qur’an 6:115-116)



Nothing can change the Quran and its meaning, the words of Allah (swt) are the complete truth, so do not obey those who are against the truth of Allah (swt), if you follow most of those people you will be misguided, and you will see no helper in Judgment day other than Allah (swt), none can help you on that day, so beware and focus on the Quran. Beware of false teachings, beware of fabricated hadiths, beware of the evil hypocrites who fight against Islam and beware of the false “Islamic scholars” who go against the logic of the Quran and the most authentic Sunnah.

Your duty is to think when reading the Quran!

Allah swt gave you the Quran so that you can be in the straight path, so that you can think and reflect upon God’s words, but how will you know if you never use your brain, how if you just recite it or keep it in the room just so that it can beautify your room? You must understand, you are the best creation that Allah (swt) made, you are not like the angels who just follow and obey, but you obey and follow after using your intellect to understand why and your free will. Your brain and free will is what will be against you the most in judgment day if you don’t use them properly. By this I mean you have the potential, the ability to know the truth by reflecting deeply with your intellect when reading the Quran. Allah (swt) intentionally said some things so that you may understand them only using wisdom. Muhammad saws can not answer you everything, and we don’t have every single hadith that he said. So it is your duty to learn the Quran and teach its wisdom to others after.

Muhammad saws said:

"The seeking of knowledge is obligatory for every Muslim." - Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 74

"Envy is permitted only in two cases: A man whom Allah gives wealth, and he disposes of it rightfully, and a man to whom Allah gives knowledge which he applies and teaches it.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

"He who calls others to follow the Right Guidance will have a reward equal to the reward of those who follow him, without their reward being diminished in any respect on that account.''
[Muslim].



"He who does not acquire knowledge with the sole intention of seeking the Pleasure of Allah but for worldly gain, will not smell the fragrance of Jannah on the Day of Resurrection.''
[Abu Dawud]

And Allah (swt) says:

"Say [unto them, O Muhammad]: Are those who know equal to those who know not? But only men of understanding will pay heed" (The Holly Quran 39: 9)

"And say: `My Rubb! Increase me in knowledge.'' (The Holly Quran 20:114)

"Allah will exalt in degree those of you who believe, and those who have been granted knowledge.'' (The Holly Quran 58:11)

"It is only those who have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allah.'' (The Holly Quran 35:28)

Remember always, that knowledge is power and only people with knowledge and pure heart can understand the Quran and teach it in the best way. May Allah swt bless us, guide us and always protect us against evil and misguidance ameen.

He granteth wisdom to whom He pleaseth; and he to whom wisdom is granted receiveth indeed a benefit overflowing; but none will grasp the Message but men of understanding. (The Holly Quran al-Baqarah: 269)

"O my Lord! bestow wisdom on me, and join me with the righteous;" (The Holly Quran ash-Shu`ara': 83)

Salaam aleykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu my dear brothers and sisters!
