The Quran

The Quran, this glorious Quran, this enlightened scripture, this clear revelation is the truth from the Almighty, Most Merciful and guides to the path of the Almighty, the Most Praiseworthy. We accept the Quran in its entirety, not questioning why it was revealed the way it was revealed, not questioning where it was revealed, why the language it was revealed in, nor questioning why revealed to a person and not an angel, accepting all aspects of the Quran including the numerical code. The human being is the most argumentative creature, but God possess the most powerful argument. God explains His revelations that we may understand. 

We must continue to study the Quran, read it cover to cover, never desert, forget, abandon, disregard or reject it. The Quran provides the truth, guidance, clear teachings, God’s law and mercy for the believers. 

At least seventeen times a day we implore God to guide us in the right path; the path of those whom He blesses, not of those who have deserved wrath, nor the strayers. We need God’s guidance.

After Adam and Eve were expelled from Paradise and were told to go to Earth they were told,

“Go down therefrom, all of you. When guidance comes to you from Me, those who follow My guidance will have no fear nor will they grieve.” (2:38)

God cites examples of previous communities, the consequences for the rejectors, the unbelievers, the idol worshipers, the guilty. The fact is they never believed in resurrection. Recall that your Lord summoned all the descendants of Adam, and had them bear witness for themselves: “Am I not your Lord?” They all said “Yes. We bear witness.,” Thus, you cannot say on the Day of Resurrection, “We were not aware of this.” (7:172)

Let us believe in God, believe in the Day of Resurrection and work righteousness, that on that Day of Resurrection when we are summoned, we will not have anything to fear nor will we grieve. That on that Day of Resurrection we will not be in the worst position, farthest from the right path, suffering a miserable destiny, but we will be in a secure position, God willing,

close to God in bliss, a blessing from our Lord, a great triumph, the best destiny.

God willing, we shall make it our business to be believers, submitters, putting our trust in the Almighty, Most Merciful, meditating during the night, frequently prostrating, reading the Quran from cover to cover, commemorating God frequently and standing up for our rights. We want to be among the righteous deserving a reward from our Lord, a generous recompense.

Praise be to God, Lord of the universe, Teacher of the Quran (55:2).

Quran

I heard a speaker describe the Quran in 2 minutes wherein he said that the Quran has four themes: Belief, Purpose, Guidance, and Accountability

1. Who Is the Creator — and Who Is Not (Modern Confusion)

2. Purpose of Life — Not Just Earning and Consuming
