I did not understand anything from what he said, except that โI have warned you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt (that struck) โAad and Thamud.โ They said, โWoe to you, you spoke to him in Arabic and you do not know what he said?โ He said, โNo, By God, I did not understand anything other than the mention of the thunderbolt.โ[26]

Abdullah ibn Umar (ra) reported that the Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ said;
โO Muhajirun, there are five things with which you will be tested, and I seek refuge with Allah lest you live to see them: Immorality never appears among a people to such an extent that they commit it openly, but plagues and diseases that were never known among the predecessors will spread among them. They do not cheat in weights and measures but they will be stricken with famine, severe calamity and the oppression of their rulers. They do not withhold the Zakah of their wealth, but rain will be withheld from the sky, and were it not for the animals, no rain would fall on them. They do not break their covenant with Allah and His Messenger, but Allah will enable their enemies to overpower them and take some of what is in their hands (i.e. possessions). Unless their leaders rule according to the Book of Allah and seek all good from that which Allah has revealed, Allah will cause them to fight one another.โ[38]

So recite it, for Allah will reward you for the recitation of every letterโฆโ[40]

The Qurโฤn is likened to something Allah has prepared for people. They have good and benefits in it. Then He has invited them to it.โ[41]

Abu Hurairah (ra) reported that the Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ said;
โโฆA group of people do not gather in a house amongst the Houses of Allah reciting the Book of Allah and studying it between themselves โ except that tranquillity descends upon them, they are enveloped by mercy and surrounded by the angels โ and Allah mentions them with those with Him (i.e. the higher angels).โ[42]
Qurtubi explains in his tafsir, โThe metaphor of those who recite the Qurโฤn without knowing its tafsir (explanation) is that of some people to whom a letter comes from their king at night when they have no lamp. They are alarmed, not knowing what the letter contains. The metaphor of the one who knows the tafsir (explanation) is that of a man who brings them a lamp so that they can read what the letter says.โ[43]

I swear by Allah indeed the Believer if he is argued against with the Qurโฤn he (out of respect) will lose (not continue the argument)โฆindeed the hypocrite, if he argues using the Qurโฤn, he will win (the argument โ because the Believer will not argue back).โ[57]

On the authority of Hudaifah (ra), the Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ said;
โIndeed what I fear most for you all is that a man who recites the Qurโฤn until you can see the effects on his face (enlightened) and he will be like a shield for Islam by the permission of Allah. Then he detaches himself (from the Qurโฤn), he โthrewโ it behind himself and he rushed upon his neighbour with the sword and he will accuse him of Shirk (polytheism).โ One of the companions said โO Prophet of Allah which of them will be the polytheist, the accuser or the one accused? He ๏ทบ said, โThe accuser.โ[58]

Ali (ra) said I heard the Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ say, โFitnah (trials and tribulations) will certainly come.โ I asked what is the way out O Messenger of Allah? He replied;
โThe Book of Allah is the way, for it contains information of what happened before you, news of what will come after you and a decision regarding matters that will occur among youโฆIt is decisive (fasl) and not a joke (hazl). Whoever leaves it, is a tyrant and Allah will break him, and if anyone seeks guidance elsewhere, Allah will lead him astray. It is the rope of Allah, the wise reminder, the straight path, whims would not deviate it nor the tongue become confused, and the scholars cannot be fully satisfied (i.e. much more to explore intellectually, spiritually etc). It is not worn down by repetition nor do its wonders ever ceaseโฆHe who quotes it, speaks the truth, he who acts according to it, is rewarded and he who judges according to it, is just, and he who invites people to it (i.e. the Qurโฤn) is (himself) guided to the Straight Path.โ[106]

Hudaifah ibn al-Yaman (ra) says, โPeople would ask the Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ about the good, but I used to ask him about the bad, in case I am overtaken by it.

I asked (again), โO Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ will be there be any evil after the good?โ He ๏ทบ said, โO Hudaifah, learn the Book of Allah and follow (practice) that which is in it.โ I said (again), โO Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ will be there be any bad after the good?โ He ๏ทบ said, โ(There will be) Fitnah (trials) and evil.โ
I said, โO Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ will there be good after this evil?โ He ๏ทบ said, โO Hudaifah, learn the Book of Allah and follow (practice) that which is in it.โ (He ๏ทบ repeated this three times). I said (again), โO Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ will there be good after this evil?โ He ๏ทบ said, โThere shall be a truce clouded by smoke, a group (with hidden intentions)โ I said, โO Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ what is the truce clouded by smoke?

I said, โO Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ will be there be any evil after the good?โ He ๏ทบ said, โO Hudaifah, learn the Book of Allah and follow (practice) that which is in it.โ (He ๏ทบ repeated this three times).

For you to die, O Hudaifah, biting on to a root of a tree would be better than following any one of them.โ[108]

Abdullah ibn Masood (ra) reports that the Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ said;
โNo one is afflicted with some stress or worry but supplicates,
โO Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your maidservant, my forelock is in Your Hand. Your command over me is forever executed and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every name belonging to You, which You have named Yourself or You taught to someone from Your creation or revealed in Your Book, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You; thatYou make the Qurโฤn the spring of my heart (i.e. make my heart flourish with the Qurโฤn) and the light of my chest, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety.โ
โฆ.except that Allah will remove his sorrow and will exchange his distress into happiness.โ[117]

Advice to the Hamil al-Qurโฤn
(Bearer of the Qurโฤn)
- Ikhlas (sincerity). Have a sincere intention when studying the Qurโฤn โ this is inextricably linked to the condition of the Heart. Sincerity is key in understanding the Qurโฤn.
- Approach the Qurโฤn with a readiness to follow the guidance.Sayyid Qutb writes, โWe should return to it to find out what kind of person it asks us to be, and then be like that. During this process, we will also discover the artistic beauty in the Qurโฤn, the marvellous tales in the Qurโฤn, the scenes of the Day of Judgment in the Qurโฤn, the intuitive logic of the Qurโฤn, and all other such benefits, which are sought in the Qurโฤn by academic and literary people. We will enjoy all these other aspects, but these are not the main object of our study. Our primary purpose is to know what way of life is demanded of us by the Qurโฤn, the total view of the universe which the Qurโฤn wants us to have, what is the nature of our knowledge of God taught to us by the Qurโฤnโฆand the kind of legal and constitutional system it asks us to establish in the world.โ
- Ask the help of Allahุณุจุญุงูู ูุชุนุงููto understand the Qurโฤn.
When faced with problems in understanding the Qurโฤn, one should supplicate to Allah ุณุจุญุงูู ูุชุนุงูู for help and guidance while continually studying and trying to understand. It is mentioned that when Abdullah ibn Masood (ra) would recite the words of Allah, โAnd say, My Lord, increase me in knowledge,โ (20:114) he would say,
ุงูููู
ุฒุฏูู ุนูู
ูุง ูุฅูู
ุงููุง ููููููุงโO Allah, increase me in knowledge, faith, and conviction.โ[118]It is also reported that when Ibn Taymiyyah encountered difficulty in understanding an Ayat of the Qurโฤn, he would take refuge in a large mosque in a desolate area, place his forehead on the ground (in sajdah) and repeat, โO teacher of Ibrahim! Grant me understanding.โ - Appreciate the magnificence of the Divine Speech.

Imam al-Ghazali quoted a saying, โI read the Qurโฤn but did not find sweetness in it. Then I read it as if I was hearing it from the Prophet while he was reciting it to his companions. Then, I moved a stage further and read the Qurโฤn as I was hearing it from Jibreel while he delivered it to the Prophet. Then Allah ุณุจุญุงูู ูุชุนุงูู brought me to a further stage โ I began to read it as if I was hearing it from the Speaker. This was a blessing that was so unbearably (amazing) and satisfying.โ[119]
- Read the Qurโฤn as if every word is directed directly to YOU.Recite and read the Qurโฤn as if YOU are the one being addressed. When Allah ุณุจุญุงูู ูุชุนุงูู speaks about Jannah, think that you are the one He is speaking about. When Allah ุณุจุญุงูู ูุชุนุงูู speaks about the disbelievers and warns them, think that you are the one that is being warned from His punishment. When the descriptions of those being dragged to the Fire, imagine it is you that it is happening to.
- Recite the Qurโฤn slowly while your Aql (intellect) is able to digest and process what is being recited.Detach from all outward and inward whisperings and distractions.
- Ask key questions.How do I practically carry out the injunctions and guidance upon myself, those under my authority (family, workers etc) and communally as an Ummah?
- Read the Qurโฤn having Yaqin (certainty) that every word is the Kalam (speech) of Allah.The Qurโฤn coheres with reality in such an amazing way that it shows that only the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth could have sent this book. Experiencing the truthfulness of the Qurโฤn is like trying out a key. Without the right key, we cannot open a locked door. With the right key (i.e., with the message of the Qurโฤn), we open the door (i.e., discover the truth of our existence) and thereby confirm that indeed the key is the right one.
Multi-dimensional Miracles of the Qurโฤn
Linguisticโ The genius of its language, elegance, rhythm, rich imagery, fluidity, its weaving of metaphors and concepts, its many varied and previously unheard styles and techniques of prose, as well as a remarkable use of vocabulary, make it a work of eternal perfection. The Arabs since the time of its revelation recognised its non-human origin and accepted its Divinity.[120]
Historicโ The Qurโฤn makes mention of ancient civilisations and historic events with precise accuracy. As an example, refer to the deliberate usage of the terms โKingsโ and โPharaohsโ in the story of Joseph and Moses in the Qurโฤn.
Biblical fulfilmentโ There are a number of verses of the Old and New Testament that prophesised the coming of the Prophet Muhammad, such as in Isaiah 42. There are many books written on this topic.
Numericalโ The numerical harmony of the Qurโฤn is undeniable and is evidence that the Qurโฤn is an endless, timeless miracle for every age. With over 70,000 words, the frequency and usage of words is extraordinary. Some examples: The word โmanโ in its singular form is mentioned a total of 24 times, which is exactly the same number of times the word โwomanโ is mentioned. โAngelsโ are mentioned 88 times in the Qurโฤn, while โdevilsโ are also mentioned 88 times. โIbleesโ (Satan) is mentioned 11 times, and seeking refuge with Allah ุณุจุญุงูู ูุชุนุงูู is also mentioned 11 times. The phrase โAllah lovesโ and its opposite, โAllah does not loveโ, both appear exactly 16 times each! The word โbeliefโ is mentioned 25 times, and the word โdisbeliefโ is likewise mentioned 25 times.
The phrase โSeven Heavensโ is mentioned exactly seven times! When we count the number of times the word โsayโ[121]appears, it is 332, and when we count the number of times โthey sayโ appears, it, too, is amazingly 332! The Arabic word for โthis worldโ (โad-Dunyaโ) appears in the Qurโฤn 115 times, while the word for โthe afterlifeโ (โal-Akhirahโ) also appears 115 times.
When we count all the mentions of the word โmonthโ in its singular form in the Qurโฤn, they add up to exactly 12. On average, there are 30 days per monthโand the number of times the plural forms of the word โdayโ are mentioned in the Qurโฤn is also 30! We know that the number of days it takes the earth to orbit the sun is 365 (i.e., one solar year). When we count all mentions in the Qurโฤn of the word โdayโ in its singular forms, they shockingly add up to exactly 365! Is this all a coincidence?
Scientificโ The world of science belongs to the category of the โcreated signs of Allahโ and His Divine Speech belongs to the โrevealed signs of Allahโ. It is not surprising therefore, that each time there is a breakthrough in unravelling the universe, we increase in certainty that the One who created the universe is the One who revealed the Qurโฤn.[122]
Promise of Allahโ The future is an unknown entity for us. Only Allah knows the future. The Qurโฤn predicts the future and makes promises which later become true. For example, it promises the Believers will become rulers on earth (Qurโฤn 24:55). Historically, the Muslims rose to become the global super-power of the world, firstly destroying the Persian empire followed by the Roman (Byzantine) empire. Another example is the prediction that within 9 years of the defeat of the Roman empire in approximately 615 C.E., they shall be victorious again. After Greater-Syria was lost to the Persians, Egypt was also annexed, and much of the Roman territory was lost. This lasted till around the year 622 C.E.. The Roman empire was on the verge of complete collapse, and then โcame one of the most astonishing reversals in the annals of war.โ[123]In 624 C.E., the Romans had their first victory and began a four year streak of victories culminating in the recapture of much of their lost territory including Jerusalem.
Knowledge of Inner Realitiesโ The Qurโฤn addresses the human being with the knowledge of his innermost realities. Upon hearing its words, the reader senses as if he is being addressed personally.
Ruqyahโ The recitation of the Qurโฤn is a means of healing the sick, whether physically, emotionally or spiritually. Thousands of people throughout history can testify to the use of the recitation of the Qurโฤn in healing their illnesses.
Recitation and Memorisationโ It is a fact that the most popular book of all time is the Qurโฤn. No other book has been recited or memorised like the Qurโฤn. Today, there are millions of people throughout the world who have memorised the whole Qurโฤnic text.

- Be a Zahid.Zuhd is to only take and engage with those worldly possessions that will benefit your after-life. Do not choose to be a person who loves money, riches and the luxuries of this temporary world. Be a person who loves the riches and luxuries of the permanent after-life.
- Be a person of integrity.Never compromise your position as a bearer and companion of the Qurโฤn by flirting with people who will bring into question your integrity; albeit the rich, governments and people of power. Al-Ajurri writes, โHe (the bearer of the Qurโฤn) does not beautify his voice for the sake of the kings of this world.โ[124]
- Do not abandon the Qurโฤn.There are a number of ways that one can abandon the Qurโฤn;a. Abandoning honouring the Qurโฤn โ taking its words, commands lightly, as a joke or mocking etc.
b. Abandoning the listening of the Qurโฤn.
c. Abandoning learning and teaching others of the Qurโฤn.
d. Abandoning the recitation of the Qurโฤn.
e. Abandoning the memorization of the Qurโฤn.
f. Abandoning the Tadabbur (contemplation) of the Qurโฤn.
g. Abandoning acting on what you have learnt from the Qurโฤn.

The way out of every fitnah (trial) is to; firstly, learn the Book of Allah and secondly, follow its instructions and advice. Many people fall short in one of these two categories. Either there are shortcomings in how/what they learn from the Book of Allah or the shortcoming is in the implementation. Guidance is exclusively from Allah and He grants it to those who are deserving of it. It is therefore imperative to hold on to the Qurโฤn with strength (quwa), both in learning and implementation.End of Article

[3]Sahih Bukhari no. 4981 and Sahih Muslim no. 152. Unlike the tangible miracles of the previous Prophets like the splitting of the sea of Musa, the main miracle of the Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ, was the Qurโฤn itself. The effectiveness of the tangible miracles would have their greatest impact on eyewitnesses and their full impact would end with the death of these witnesses. If we ask a Jew or Christian to show us the miracles of the Prophet Musa or Isa โ they both would submit that it is not within human power to demonstrate any of those miracles now. The Prophet Musa cannot be asked to split the sea again and the Prophet Isa cannot be called to raise people from the dead. For us today, these miracles are historical reports. Yet if a Muslim is asked about the greatest miracle of the Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ, he can readily show the Qurโฤn โ for the Qurโฤn is a miracle which remains in our hands, and can therefore be examined by anybody today. The logical outcome of this is that the impact of the miracle of the Qurโฤn is far more widespread and far-reaching amongst humanity.

[7]Sahih Muslim no. 2865a.
[8]Sahih Bukhari no. 7522. The Qurโฤn is preserved and pure, whereas previous scriptures were corrupted or lost. In terms of human writings, books represent the knowledge available to a writer at a certain time and place. As a result, books become obsolete after some time due to the information being found to be either false or incomplete, raising the need for them to be revised or re-written. This is the case for the writings of every physicist, scientist or philosopher. No human being has ever written a comprehensive book with absolute perfection and certainty of knowledge. It is also the case that a writer usually has knowledge of a specific subject or a few related subjects. For example, one can write about history or economics or philosophy or physics etc. But it is not possible for a human being to write simultaneously on a great variety of different subjects with such in-depth and accurate information. The Qurโฤn, Godโs final revelation, speaks about the origins of the universe, movements of celestial bodies, stages of human embryonic development, behavioural patterns of species, historical and archaeological truths etc. The Qurโฤn contains over 6,000 Ayat (verses) with over 70,000 words and yet, it is a fact, that not a single verse contradicts any established fact.

Doubt can be defined as a feeling of uncertainty or lack of conviction. From a spiritual perspective, doubt is a disease of the Qalb (Heart) and sins committed by an individual affect their ability to attain certainty in faith. There is a direct correlation between sins and the ability of the Heart as an organ of understanding of the metaphysical. Certainty (Yaqin) is the polar opposite of doubt. Whereas doubt causes a person anxiety, sadness and depression, certainty brings about happiness and contentment. Having said this, uncomfortable thoughts that come to our mind do not contradict Yaqin. These can actually serve as evidence for the existence of Iman (faith). The Prophet ๏ทบ was asked; โO Messenger of God, verily we perceive in our minds that which any one of us would consider too grave to even express.โ The Prophet ๏ทบ replied, โDo you really have such thoughts?โ They said, โYes.โ Upon this he said, โThat is the manifestation of faithโฆโ(Sahih Muslim). Imam an-Nawawi explains how such thoughts paradoxically indicate strong faith. He explains that the personโs reaction to such involuntary thoughts indicates that they are protective of their faith and wish to ensure its security. The reason they feel uncomfortable and blasphemous is because faith is present. If there was no faith, these thoughts would not cause any anxiety.

Tirmidhi commentsุฅุณูุงุฏู ู
ุฌููู โ The chain is weak due to an unknown narrator. Some scholars comment that this is more likely the statement of Ali (ra) and not the Prophet. However, the meaning is authentic and parts of the Hadith are mentioned in other narrations, like Hadith no. 5 in this collection. โThis Qurโฤn is the Banquet of Allah. Learn as much as you can from His banquet. This Qurโฤn is the Rope of Allah, and it is the clear Light and (is the effective) Healing. It is a protection for the one who clings to it and a rescue for the one who follows it. It is not crooked and so puts things straight. It does not deviate so as to be blamed. Its wonders do not cease. It does not wear out with much repetition.โ(Mustadrak al-Hakim no. 2040. Similar wording in Musannaf ibn Abi Shaybah no. 30008, Musannaf Abdur Razzaq no. 6017, Sunan as-Sagheer by Bayhaqi, Darimi no. 3358 and Muโjam al-Kabeer Tabrani no. 8648).

There are many lessons that can be learnt from this Hadith. The phrase, โO Hudaifah, learn the Book of Allah and follow (practice) that which is in itโ is repeated in this narration ten times. This demonstrates the importance of the advice and shows the way out of any Fitnah (trial). Firstly, learn the Book of Allah and secondly follow its instructions and advice. Many people fall short in one of these two categories. Either there are shortcomings in how/what they learn from the Book of Allah or the shortcoming lies in the practice. Guidance is exclusively from Allah and He grants it to those who are deserving of it. The following narration adds two important points. Firstly, the importance of โacting onโ and implementing the Qurโฤn and secondly, the proportionate amount of what is achieved;
