The Holy Quran is the 4th and
last sacred book of Almighty Allah revealed on our beloved Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH). The Holy Quran is the book of guidance for all mankind
till the Day of Judgment. Muslims needs to practice the teachings of the
Holy Quran in their lives. Muslims need to understand the Holy Quran,
in order to internalize it and put it into practice. Allah Almighty says
about the Quran: “This is the Book (the Quran), whereof there is no doubt, guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqoon [the pious].” (Quran, 2:2)We should read the Holy Quran due to many reasons some of them are given below:
It is a source of Guidance
It is an Intercessor for the Day of Judgment
The Holy Quran will intercede on the Day of Judgment. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) stated in the hadith: “Recite the Quran for it will come as an intercessor for its people on the Day of Judgement” (Muslim)
It is Incorruptible
It
is the only religious sacred book which has been in circulation for
such a long time and yet remains as pure as it was in the beginning. The
Quran was kept perfect nothing was added to it; nothing was changed in
it, and nothing was taken away from it ever since it was completely
revealed 1400 years ago.
It Teaches about the Purpose of Existence
If
someone ever thought about the purpose of his/her existence then just
open the Holy Quran and read from it. The Quran will give insight into
how to live with a purpose to serve Almighty Allah and many verses of
the Noble Quran speak about the origins of the existence of human being
and this Universe. In the Holy Quran, Allah Almighty says: “He created death and life to test you as to which of you is best in deed.” (Quran, 67:2)
It Fills our Heart and Removes illness from the Heart
Quran recitation fills our heart. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, “The man who has nothing of the Quran inside him is like a ruined house” (Tirmidhi). The reading of Quran remove illness from our hearts and cure our bodies. Allah (SWT) says in the Holy Quran: “We send the Quran as healing
and mercy for those who believe.” (Quran,17:82)
and mercy for those who believe.” (Quran,17:82)
It Purifies our Heart
When
a Muslim recites Quran, it affects the heart and purifies it by
cleaning it from all the impurities that stick on it. Allah Almighty
says in the Quran: “O
mankind! There hath come to you an admonition from your Lord and a
healing for the (diseases) in your hearts and for those who believe a
Guidance and Mercy.” (Quran, 10:57)
It is a Road Map for Worldly Life and the Hereafter
The
Holy Quran guides us on how to structure our life. It also points out
the ways to secure everlasting happiness in the Hereafter. The Holy
Quran will teach you about the hereafter and you can read all about the
amazing privileges and beauty of paradise that Allah (SWT) has promised
to believers.
It Increases the Faith (Iman)
Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran: “And
when a surah is revealed, some of them ask “which of you did this
increase him in Iman?”. As for the ones who believe, it increased them
in Iman and they rejoice.” (Quran, 9:124)
It is a Calling Card to Communicate with Almighty Allah
Quran
recitation can be made attractive and in doing so it can initiate a
sort of conversation with Allah Almighty. The example of which can be
seen in the form of the way Prophet (SAW) read Quran:
“And when He (Prophet) recited the verses which referred to the Glory of Allah, He glorified Him, the Great, and when He recited the verses that mention supplication, He supplicated, and when He recited the Verses that mention seeking Refuge of the Rabb He sought (His) refuge.”(Muslim)
“And when He (Prophet) recited the verses which referred to the Glory of Allah, He glorified Him, the Great, and when He recited the verses that mention supplication, He supplicated, and when He recited the Verses that mention seeking Refuge of the Rabb He sought (His) refuge.”(Muslim)
