“If mankind and the jinn were together to produce the like of this Quran, they could never produce the like thereof, even if they backed up one another.”(Quran 17:88)

It is a challenge to the scholars and other renowned men, that none can produce a script like the Holy Quran, nor anyone can amend it in any particular way. Allah has taken the responsibility of protection of this Holy Book, as a result it is still present in the same form in which it was released, while the other scripts like Zaboor, Injeel, and Taurat have been partially or fully amended.

Quran is unlike other miracles that were sent to other prophets, it is a book of guidance for all the human kind. Most of the discoveries that have been made by the researchers on this book have proved that this book is very advanced and contains lot of miracles. Everything that exists in this world is mentioned in the Holy Quran. It has also made people cross the period of ignorance and guided them to pure love and humanity.

Another miracle of Holy Quran is that, what scientists have discovered now, Holy Quran has talked about it almost 1400 years back. Similarly, it has talked about the space and other happenings in the world and mentioned other hidden facts and aspects of life.

The library is located in the series of dusty lanes, near the grave of scholar Kaffel Shashi. The Mufti of Uzbekistan, who is the highest religious leader, has his offices in the old madrassa. Across the road is the non-descript mosque and the sacred hair, whose collections are the most important historical things in the Central Asia.

According to young assistant in office of mufti, approximately 3000 manuscripts and 20,000 books are present in the library. The Holy Quran is kept in special glass fronted vault built into the wall of inner room.

Caliph Othman made five copies of Holy Quran. After the death of Othman, it was taken to Kufa in the modern Iraq. Several Hundred years later, the Central Asian conqueror found the Koran and took it to his capital named Samarkand.

It stayed there for almost four centuries, until the Russians conquered Samarkand in the year 1868. Russian Government then sent Othman Koran to St Petersburg, where it was kept in the library. Due to this reason, the world’s oldest Quran still remains in the quarter of old Tashkent.

That is why Muslims greatly respect Qur’an and Quran education is deemed as one of the primal religious obligations to all Muslims. The truth is that Muslims pay great respect to Qur’an and not only learn to read and write it, but also take it as a great honor to memorize it in all its totality; an honor that no other book of such great volume other than Quran enjoys.

Though people of all ages are free to memorize it, but mostly, it is during childhood that most people end up learning and memorizing Quran, comprising of more than 6000 verses containing purest and knowledgeable words of Allah Almighty.

The important thing is that it not only serves to fulfill a religious obligation and Sunnah (an act that Prophet Muhammad PBUH did himself), but it also serves for great benefits of the ones who do so, as mentioned in the following hadith:

“On the Day of Qiyaamah a crown of such brilliance will be placed on the heads of the parents of one who learnt the Qur’aan and practised on its laws, that its glitter will outshine the brilliance of the sun which penetrates your houses. What then do you think will be the position of the one who himself learnt the Qur’aan and acted in accordance with it?” (Ahmad and Abu Dawood)

While memorizing, Quran Recitation also plays very important, as memorization of such a lengthy content is not possible without practice, and recitation serves as the best means of practicing what one has learnt of Quran. That is why Muslims who are Hafidh (the one who memorizes Qur’an), also happen to be extremely good in recitation of Qur’an as well.

May Allah bless all Muslim parents with pious and obedient offspring who are eager to learn and memorize the words of Allah Almighty as in Qur’an.

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)

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.

“Behold! In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of the night and the day; in the sailing of the ships through the ocean for the benefit of mankind; in the rain which Allah Sends down from the skies, and the life which He gives therewith to an earth that is dead; in the beasts of all kinds that He scatters through the earth; in the change of the winds, and the clouds which they trail like their slaves between the sky and the earth — (Here) indeed are Signs for a people that are wise.” (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:164)

This is just one example of the kind of information Allah Almighty has descended upon humans to heed to the right path as laid to them by their Lord, Allah Almighty. One cannot get this knowledge unless one reads and learns Quran for himself, which contains nothing else, but purest words of wisdom from the Mighty Lord.

Online Quran Reading can serve us in the best possible manner to learn and read from the book of Allah, known as Quran. It enables people from all parts of the world to learn Quran during any time of the day, since internet keeps options available and accessible 24/7, thus making it easier for people to resort to them.

The reason behind it is simple; all parents want to see their children succeed in their life. Well, for Muslims, this translates into success not only in this world, but the world hereafter, which is going to last till eternity.

That is why we see Muslim parents all around the world greatly concerned about religious education of their children. Parents in today’s time are quite lucky to have a service as productive and efficient as “live Quran” to get their children educated with best of religious knowledge possible.

This should be greatly helpful for Muslim parents in achieving one of the most revered honors ever, as mentioned in the following hadith:

6. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
“On the Day of Qiyaamah a crown of such brilliance will be placed on the heads of the parents of one who learnt the Qur’aan and practised on its laws, that its glitter will outshine the brilliance of the sun which penetrates your houses. What then do you think will be the position of the one who himself learnt the Qur’aan and acted in accordance with it?”  (Ahmad and Abu Dawood)

Through “live quran”, internet not only serves you as a medium to teach your children Holy Quran, but also all other basic Islamic principles can be taught through it. You may also try it for your own self by registering with any Online Quran Schools to be able to embrace the graciousness of Allah Almighty as evident from the hadith mentioned above.

Holding Fast to the Quran and Sunnah [92:415] Narrated Humaid: I heard Muawiya bin Abi Sufyan delivering a sermon. He said, “I heard the Prophet saying, “If Allah wants to do a favor to somebody, He bestows on him, the gift of understanding the quran and Sunna. I am but a distributor, and Allah is the Giver. The state of this nation will remain good till the Hour is established, or till Allah’s Order comes.”

Sahi Bukhari, Vol 9, Book 90. Wishes. Hadith 338.

Today, Online Quran Learning offers us a highly unique and convenient opportunity of learning and understanding Holy Qur’an to be able to bid for Allah’s favors and blessings. The most important thing is that Quran is not a book full of religious rhetoric; instead, it is a unique book that amalgamates religion perfectly with the real physical world we are living in, by offering a complete code of life to follow.

The best thing about online Quran learning it lets you schedule your own lesson timings, since the facility of Quran Online is 24/7 and 365. All you need to commence your Quran learning is to get registered with any credible online institution, so that you can start your journey of knowing Almighty Allah better.

This is also evident from the very first verse Allah Almighty chose to reveal upon His Apostle Muhammad (PBUH):

“Read: In the name of thy Lord who created man from a clot. Read: And thy Lord is the Most Generous Who taught by the pen, Taught man that which he knew not. Surah Al-Alaq, 96:1-5

Any rational mind can conclude from this how important learning is, as far as Islamic perspective is concerned. That is why, for Muslims, the best way to start their quest of knowledge is by learning what’s taught to them in Quran by Allah Almighty, and nothing serves to make it as convenient as live quran, a mechanism which enables anyone to learn Quran quite comfortably.

For Muslims living in countries where resorting to conventional means of acquiring Quran knowledge is not as easy as it is in countries of Muslim majority, live Quran serves as a real blessing. Through it, they themselves and their children can learn all they want to about Quran.

This is done by finding a Quran learning institution online, which offers experienced Quran teachers who can help any person from any part of the world learn Quran at any time one wants to.

Addressing His Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Allah Almighty says in Quran:

Ibrahim [14:1] Alif Lam Ra. A book which We have revealed unto thee in order that thou mightest lead mankind out of the depths of darkness into light― by the leave of their Lord― to the Way of (Him) Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!

So exalted and honored is this book! That is why Allah Almighty wants us humans to read and recite Holy Quran, so that we get to know what He wants to teach us. Recitation is an act that appeases The Mightiest a lot, so much so, that He asks His beloved Prophet (PBUH)

Al-Kahf [18:27] And recite (and teach) what has been revealed to thee of the book of thy Lord: none can change His Words, and none wilt thou find as a refuge other than Him.

For people like who are living in this information age, Quran Recitation becomes even more convenient through the concept of Quran Recitation Online, a mechanism developed and used so that people can get to read and recite Holy Quran with increased convenience.

Well versed Quran Teachers help their students learn recitation, most importantly, without the confines of time and place. That is why we see Online Quran Recitation gaining increased popularity with every passing day.
