Studying the Quran and Quran Study (QS) groups

Cont'd from page 3

People have all kinds of excuses for not attending Quran study. But honestly, we need to treat Quran study as receiving a great gift. If we were to receive a nice material gift every week we would always go and never make excuses. Sometimes, it’s the last thing I want to do, go to Quran study, but I still go. Because that’s why I’m on earth actually. To do more to worship God.

God teaches by example. All through the Quran we have examples of both right and wrong. I was surprised when I searched the word, “example,” in the Quran and the abundant number of times the word is mentioned. It’s because the human being is impressionable and we learn a lot by example. When we see an example, it just makes things so much easier to understand. For example, in math class, we learn about a mathematical theory, but only after the teacher shows us an example do we say, “AAAHHH,” now it makes sense.

[18:54]  We have cited in this Quran every kind of example, but the human being is the most argumentative creature.

[29:43] We cite these examples for the people, and none appreciate them except the knowledgeable.

 

[39:27]  We have cited for the people every kind of example in this Quran, that they may take heed.

Think about what other people (especially newbies) think about folks missing Quran study. Guess what kind of example we’re setting by not attending. They think the group is smaller than it really is. This sets a really bad example for the group. It makes our group look insignificant and weak. They think Quran study is not important. They think the people not coming are weak believers. They think it’s not important to study the Quran in general.

On the other hand, people that go to Quran study inspire others to attend as well. “If they can do it, I should too.” Thus, setting a good example. And when we go to Quran study and there’s more people, it makes it a lot more fun too (usually).

So, let’s set a good example, go to Quran study regularly and have fun too!

As human beings, we desperately need GOD’s forgiveness, constantly.

Quran Verses on Quran

[16:98] When you read the Quran, you shall seek refuge in GOD from Satan the rejected.

[55:1] The Most Gracious. [55:2] Teacher of the Quran.

[54:17] We made the Quran easy to learn. Does any of you wish to learn?

[59:21] If we revealed this Quran to a mountain, you would see it trembling, crumbling, out of reverence for GOD. We cite these examples for the people, that they may reflect.

[47:24] Why do they not study the Quran carefully? Do they have locks on their minds?

Quran: Fully Detailed
[6:114] Shall I seek other than GOD as a source of law, when He has revealed to you this book fully detailed? Those who received the scripture recognize that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbor any doubt.

[20:114] Most Exalted is GOD, the only true King. Do not rush into uttering the Quran before it
