“Bismillah,(In the name of God) “
What is the Holy Quran?
The Holy Quran is a guide and a reminder that teaches people how to live a God conscious life. It is the religious scripture that was revealed to Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) through angel Gabriel. It is the sacred book used by the Muslims. It can transform your life and show you the right path to live a good life and achieve ultimate success.
” This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous.
Those who believe in the unseen, and perform prayers, and give from what We have provided for them.
And those who believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, and are certain of the Hereafter.
These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful.” (Surah 2 Vs. 2-5)
It has 114 chapters. Each chapter is independent of one another by that, I mean chapter 2 is not a continuation of chapter one. Each chapter can be read and understood without reading the previous chapter. It tells the stories of spiritual revelations, faith, hope, persecution, perseverance, struggles of the prophets and the faithful servants of God.
The beauty of the Quran is the fact that it reminds you in different chapters its purpose tells you what to do to be successful. Also, when you decide not to follow the words Of God or choose to ignore the message it shows you what is the alternative for you.
“These are the Verses of the Wise Book.
A guide and mercy for the righteous.
Those who observe the prayer, and pay the obligatory charity, and are certain of the Hereafter.
These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful.
Among the people is he who trades in distracting tales; intending, without knowledge, to lead away from God’s way, and to make a mockery of it. These will have a humiliating punishment. (Su. 31 Vs. 2-6)”
It teaches you how to pray, how to live with others, how to appreciate life, how to put God first in everything that you do and how to worship and please God.
“Whoever submits himself wholly to God, and is a doer of good, has grasped the most trustworthy handle. With God rests the outcome of all events.” (Su. 31 Vs. 22)
Why should you care about reading and understanding This book?
It doesn’t matter what you think or believe because death will come to you and to everything that exists. There will be a day that you will meet your Creator and you will have to answer for your life. The Holy Quran shows you what to do and how to live in preparation for that colossal day.
“How can you deny God, when you were dead and He gave you life, then He will put you to death, then He will bring you to life, then to Him you will be returned?” (Su 2 Vs. 28)
If you want to make a change for the best in your life, I will suggest reading this book while asking God to help and guide you. If reading it is hard for you to do, listen to its recitation.
