“The Glorious Quran is a Book whose verses are firmly arranged then distinguished from the All-
wise, the All-aware.”
Surah Hud: 1
Almighty Allah has revealed to His servant and messenger Muhammad ﷺ that he may
be a warner to the world.
“A Book We have sent down to thee that thou might lead men out from the darkness into the light,
by their Lord’s permission, to the way of the All-mighty, the All-laudable.” Surah Ibrahim: 1
We should know that The Glorious Qur’an is Allah’s eternal message.
The Quran is His clear testimony, final argument, undeniable proof, and His eternal living miracle
which He has given to His servant and His last messenger and the Best of His creatures –
Muhammad ibn Abdullah ﷺ
as evidence to the world, verifying his prophethood, proof of his apostleship, and light-guiding
mankind to the Faith of Allah (Monotheism) and a guide leading towards the straight path.
“And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down [i.e., the Qur’an] upon Our Servant [i.e.,
Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses [i.e.,
supporters] other than Allah if you should be truthful.” Surah Al-Baqarah: 23
It seems that many Muslims are unaware of the potentials of the Quran.
It is usually read every day without doubt but its content is frequently neglected in our reading.
The Quran reciting to the average Muslim today seems a formal or traditional custom to which he
adheres because of social show.
People read Quran in the funeral ceremonies or at the opening of meetings but even sometimes
these meetings may be against Islam!
The Quran is losing ground in the lives of Muslims
Lack of comprehension or misunderstanding leads to dangerous results. The enemies of Islam
exploit the weakness of Muslims to overpower them. They want Muslim young people to belittle the
Qur’an and cast doubt on its authenticity and glory.
This phenomenon has done catastrophic damage to Islamic society and contributed incalculably to
its instability.
Many Muslims because of ignorance or weakness or hypocrisy have been attracted by one means or
another to join in the battle against Islam. And although some of them still call themselves Muslims,
when Islam is mentioned they turn to withdraw and silent.
There has been a dire need for a systematic and thorough process or program to popularize Islamic
religious teachings. Indeed, there are many obstacles in the way of conscientious Muslims to achieve
this goal in the Muslim countries, for there are neither enough experts to carry out this great task,
nor sufficient means and financial support to fulfill these objectives.
Consequently, the battlefield is strewn with Muslim victims because of the weak side of the Islamic
army, either they are slaughtered or dispossessed or persuaded to abandon Islam and sometimes to
join forces with the enemy. One of the most basic requirements is to assure Muslims that the Quran
is the revelation
of Almighty Allah, to our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and Allah Almighty says in the Quran
Surah Al-Hajj Ayah: 40
“And Allah will surely support those who support Him [i.e., His cause]. Indeed, Allah
is Powerful and Exalted in Might.”
Those who have been expelled from their homes unjustly only because they said: “Our Lord is
Allah.” For had it not been that Allah checks one set of people by means of another, monasteries,
churches, synagogues, and mosques, wherein the Name of Allah is mentioned much would surely
have been pulled down. Verily, Allah will help those who help His (Cause). Truly, Allah is All-Strong,
All-Mighty.
The Miracle of the Quran
Every prophet is granted the power of performing miracles, from the Creator of the universe, Allah
Almighty. In order to give proof of the authenticity of his message. A miracle is an act that cannot be
performed with the aid of oneself learning and practice.
And Miracles must invariably conform to the mentality of the society in which a prophet is sent.
Hence, the miracle of Moses (peace be upon him) was the magic, because Pharaonic Egypt was an
expert in magic works. Jesus (peace be upon him) cured the leper and the blind from birth and
quickened the dead by the will of Allah.
“Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which
is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah. And I
cure the blind [from birth] and the leper, and I give life to the dead – by permission of Allah. And I
inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you
are believers.” Surah Al-Imran: 49
This kind of miracle was required because his society expected such acts as proof of prophethood.
Similarly, our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ emerged amongst the Arabs who were experts in
the Arabic language and literature and challenged them in their own art.
“But this is an honored Qur’an. [Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate.” Surah Al-Buruj: 21:22
The Miracles of the Prophets
We Muslims don’t differentiate between Muhammad’s miracle and the other prophets’ miracles.
The Quran is the continuity of our Prophet’s miracle and its standing challenge for all times and
places.
In other words, the Quran is alive while other miracles are temporary or dead
. Hence, the miracles might be questioned or doubted but not our Prophet’s miracle. It should be
noted that the language is the miraculous aspect of the Quran, and there are other aspects that will
be dealt with in
sequence. Muslims point to the beauty of the language as evidence of the Qur’an’s miraculous
aspect. The Quran may be translated into other languages, but it may not retain the same power;
therefore, the true Quran is in the Arabic language.
As this is the Word of Allah, the Holy Quran must be treated with respect: one should perform
Wudu (ablution) before handling the Quran, and one should never put the Quran book on the floor.
The Quran should be heard at all times; in fact, the word Quran means “recitation.” The angel
Gabriel commanded Muhammad ﷺ to recite the Quran “Iqra” the first word in Quran.
“Recite in the name of your Lord who created” Surah Al-‘Alaq: 1
History of the collection of the Quran
The Quran was collected under the safeguard of the committee of four senior ranking
Companions.
Before the verses were collected into the book we now know as the Qur’an, the passages were
preserved just in memory. The Prophet’s Companions and believers of the early age of Islam were
memorizing the Quran.
These Companions were keen on teaching their children the Quran, both its memorization and its
meanings, who then taught their Descendents, and so on. This practice has been passed down to
this day and around the world, Muslim children from a young age teaching to memorize all or parts
of the Holy Quran.
Some go on to become professional reciters to become Shaikh of Quran, who perform for special
occasions, such as festivals, public gatherings, and funerals, and imam in mosques.
While they are governed by strict rules the reciters’ pronunciation, style, tone, and melody vary with
each reciter.
There is no restriction in learning the Quran it’s up to you. You memorize, read or listen to the
Quran, as listening to the Quran is to experience the presence of God Almighty. The text of the
Quran is divided into 114 Surahs, arranged accurately from the longest to the shortest. They include
praise, warnings of judgment, exhortations, directives, and short occasional narratives.
Every Muslim must learn to recite the opening surah of the Quran, Al-Fatihah, and some of the
shorter ones to perform the ritual prayers (Salah) properly.
