Quran has used the word or phrase “do they not think”, “do they not ponder”, or reflect and have asked from the readers who possess expertise and knowledge. Approach of Holy Quran is to invite intelligence, logic, or reason.  If you research Quran, Holy Quran, Qur’an, learn Quran, learn Quran online, more deeply in the Holy Quran , you will get to know about its more deeper meanings. Many articles and books are published because of heeding of the Ayat of Holy Quran, which exort the readers of Quran to reflect and think over the phenomenon present in earth and heavens including human beings.

Holy Quran motivates a person to investigate and observe. It states that experiments are quite rewarding. Unlike other religions, spirit of Holy Quran is very much scientific. Allah has mentioned in the Holy Quran.

“And of His sign is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of your language and colours. Herein indeed are some portents for men of knowledge.”

Because of this reason, Holy Quran has mentioned about those who discover various aspects of nature and study it. There are many signs of greatness of Allah that can be seen and found in the Universe, which are change of day and night, change in the ordering of winds. The faith in Allah (SWT) normally does not always come from the logical arguments; instead it springs from the experience of harmony and beauty in nature.

Islam is a very balanced religion and speaks about the truth. Holy Quran urges men to ponder, reflect, and use their reason. Quran is not just a scientific treatise. It is a book of wisdom and guidance. There are almost more than 1200 verses in this Holy Book about science and it can be called as the cause of material and scientific progress.

You will most probably never come across a sane person who does not want to live life in the best possible manner. However, not everyone is aware of the right manner that can help him/her find such a path that leads to material progress and prosperity as well as mental peace and serenity.

Muslims are definitely lucky to have been blessed by a source that promises to provide the best of guidance one cares for, in order to make the best of both worlds, i.e. this world and the world hereafter, which is one of the primary elements of faith for Muslims.

Now, the question is how do we  come to know whether what Muslims claim to be the best source of guidance and blessings is really worth so. Well, one should no more of an authentication once Allah Almighty, the sole creator of the universe Himself tells humanity about such a source, as mentioned in the following verse from Holy Quran.

Yunus [10:57].  O mankind! There has come to you a good advice from your Lord (i.e. the Qur’an, enjoining all that is good and forbidding all that is evil), and a healing for that (disease of ignorance, doubt, hypocrisy and differences,) Which is in your breasts, – a guidance and a mercy (explaining lawful and unlawful things) for the believers.

That is why Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) signified so greatly to Muslims to learn Quran themselves and teach it to others, so that all of them can be blessed by Allah’s graciousness:

“The best of you is he who has learnt the Qur’an and then taught it.” (Bukhari)

Every person has some duties in life, if he is a father his duties is to look after for his children, a husband has duties to his wife, similarly a Muslim also has some duties, which are bestowed upon us by Allah Almighty.

A few of the duties, which every Muslim should comply to, are given as under:

A Good Human Being:

Besides religious duties, the foremost important duty, which Islam emphasis on is, being a good human being. A good human being is one who takes care of everyone around him, whether it be his friends, family, neighbors, or even animals. A person who is not a good human being cannot be a good Muslim.

Learning and Teaching Quran:

Allah has bestowed Quran upon Muslims, for their guidance, so it is the duty of a Muslim to learn and understand the message of Quran, and spread it to others. As Hadith says:

“The best amongst you is the one who learns Quran and teaches it”

From the hadith we can see that, a good Muslim must learn as well as teach Quran.

Jahad bin Nafs:

Jahad bin Nafs, is a kind of jahad, which you do to fight with the temptations, and persuasions of Satan, to make yourself a better person. A good Muslim has a duty of fighting with Satan, and his temptations.

The five Pillars:

A most important religious duty of a good Muslim is to fulfill the five pillars of Islam, namely; Kalma, Namaz, Roza, Hajj, and Zakkah. No Muslim can be a true Muslim, unless he fulfills all these necessary pillars of Islam.

All in all, by following the above mentioned duties, a Muslim can become a true Muslim, and a good and productive part of society.

Quran Teaching And Important Considerations


2011
07.27

Teaching Quran is a noble act. It is also a Sunnah as the Prophet (PBUH) also used to teach Quran to Muslims. It has such high value in Islam because inculcating the knowledge of Islam in Muslim children and teaching them how to read and recite Quran will ultimately bear true Muslims. It also has high value because the next time a student reads Quran after you have taught him how to, you will also reap the fruits of his recitation of the Holy Quran.

However, Quran teaching also requires some important aspects to keep into consideration. Some of these things are mentioned below.

  1. The most important thing is that the teacher should tell the student why Quran reading is important and why is it so essential to respect the Quran. Allah says in the Quran,

“And when the Quran is recited, then listen to it and remain silent, that mercy may be shown to you.” Al-Araf [7:204]

  1. During the Quran teaching session, the tutors should inculcate the importance of mediation of the Quranic verses on the students. Allah says in the Quran,

“Do they not then meditate on the Quran? And if it were from any other than Allah, they would have found in it many a discrepancy.” An-Nisa [4:82]

  1. It is also the responsibility of the Quran teacher to tell the students that the message of Allah is sacred and divine and that no one can change the word of Allah. Allah says,

“We narrate to you the best of narratives, by Our revealing to you this Quran, though before this you were certainly one of those who did not know.” Yusuf [12:3]

Conclusion

Therefore, Quran teaching should be done while keeping in mind the considerations given above.

Meaning Of The Word “Allah (SWT)”


2011
07.22

Usually when we write the name of Allah, we use to attach the word “SWT” with it but I think there are only few people who know the meaning of this word. Here we need to know that why we use to write SWT with Allah. In actual this is the short form of Arabic word “Subhana-hu-wa-Ta’alaa” which means the most glorified and the most high. We have the opportunity to learn holy Quran online to get the knowledge of Islam and to know the one and only Allah. By this way Muslims glorify Allah while mentioning his name.

There are some common misconceptions about Islam that many non- Muslims have with the name of Allah. They think that Muslims believe or worship to the different GOD as compare to the Christians and Jews that is totally wrong concept. The truth is that the GOD is only one and the name of the GOD is Allah who is the God of all. Allah is the simply the Arabic word for “GOD” and all worship one God but the concept of worship of Muslims, Jews, and Christians are different.

The best proof of oneness of Allah is that there is no plural or have no gender of the word “Allah” on the other side if we use the word GOD instead of “Allah” then it indicates that there could be more than one God as it has the plural like Gods, Goddess etc. we mostly used to write of speak Allah Ta’ala which means “ to be worshiped”, Read holy Quran online so that you will come to know that the word “Allah” is the nutshell that is the pure monotheistic message of Islam.

Islam is the religion that highly appreciates the hijab especially for women as it is the symbol of Muslim women and she should be proud of wearing hijab because it saves women from the evils of this world. When we do Quran Recitation we come to know the significance of hijab in every aspect of life. “O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e. screen themselves completely). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (al-Ahzab: 59). There are some lame excuses of some women who don’t want to wear hijab.

  • Most of the women reject the veil or hijab just on the base that she will lose her friends as no one among them wear hijab but short and miniskirts that is the symbol of vulgarity.
  • The other most common excuse now a days when women go out of their home to do job, they think that the veil or hijab will harm their job or career. They don’t want to take the risk of lose about their status, high salary, and community of colleagues who have the modern looks just for the sake of a piece of cloth.
  • If one’s family is not wearing hijab then the women have another excuse not to wear hijab. According to their view point it looks odd or strange if I wear hijab among them who wear stylish cloths.
  • They think that by wearing hijab they will look like old age that they can’t afford in this modern society but they don’t know the power of hell fire that is unbearable.
  • They have lack of inferiority complex that they will not get the attention of guys but they don’t know that it is the big sin that you give the chance to any non-mahram to look at you and Allah will ask you the reason when you will have no answer.

Make the habit of Quran Recitation with proper understanding so that you will come to know the immense benefits of wearing hijab. Insha’Allah
