The Quran is a complete code of life, a book brought down upon the Holy Prophet (PBUH), a word of Allah and a set of principles whereby you can live your entire life, a source of happiness for the sad, a source of cure for the miserable. Everything is there is the Quran.
Just like the verse above, in the Quran Allah has mentioned again and again to be grateful to him for the blessings he endows upon us and to say thank you. Why? Is it because Allah needs our thanks? Certainly not. Is it because our gratefulness will make a difference to him? Absolutely not! Allah asks us to be thankful to him all the time in the Quran because it is US who it going to make a difference to.
The whole world and all its affairs, all its workings, and everything that goes with it is mentioned in the Quran. The mechanics of every night that proceeds every day is mentioned in this book as Allah tells us again and again that he has created the day and the night and that he is Supreme while the rest of us are insignificant.
The Quran is one of the most important books that can be found in one’s home and there is no disagreeing to the fact under any circumstances. Not only does the Quran give us a sense of safety it is also the blessing of Allah upon us 24 hours a day. However, that is not to say that the Quran can protect us if we just keep it in the house lying closed.
The book of Allah has been written in Arabic because it was the language of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), the Prophet onto whom the book was revealed. So it was natural that Allah chose Arabic for the verses to be sent down upon him. However, in his verses Allah asked us to read and learn the Quran and there is a tradition of the holy Prophet (PBUH) “The Best amongst you is (he) who learns and teaches the Holy Quran.”
As humans we go through many emotions that we feel unable to control. Anger is one of them and the strongest one too. Fortunately, for us, Allah has told us in the Quran how to deal with it. That is why the Quran as a source of information that will help us lead an Islamic life, is so very important.
Forgiveness is one of the most important attributes of the Divine Creator. It is also the attribute He, Subahanwatallah, uses the most generously. So there is little surprise when we see it mentioned in the Quran in a number of places. In the book of Allah the attribute of forgiveness is not only restricted to Allah forgiving us for our many sins (hope not too many!) but it also talks about forgiveness that His creation should show to each other.
The Quran is not only a book of complete guidance but it also one of the most important texts you will ever read that will help you out of your most gravest problems . And the best part is that the offer of help is mentioned in the Quran by Allah himself so many times, if only we would read carefully. When Allah sent us in this world as humans He knew that we would have good days and bad days.
Prayer 5 times a day is compulsory for all Muslims. However praying in a mosque is not compulsory but highly recommended for all Muslims (except on Friday, when it is compulsory for men to go to the mosque and pray). The importance of praying in mosques is highlighted in the Quran along with the importance of the prayer itself and doing so attains Allah’s good pleasure for the Muslims.
Allah is Al-Hafiz, The Protector of everything. It is said in the Quran by Allah, “Lo! My Lord is Protector over all things.” [Sūrah al-Hūd: 57]. When Allah Himself says that he is the protector over all things and He alone can save us from anything bad, that means that it is HIS power ONLY to protect us and save us.
