1. The various orders and rules (Shariah) for the Prophets and their communities.
وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُوۡلٍ اَنۡ يَّاۡتِىَ بِاٰيَةٍ اِلَّا بِاِذۡنِ اللّٰهِ ؕ لِكُلِّ اَجَلٍ كِتَابٌ (۳۸) يَمۡحُوۡا اللّٰهُ مَا يَشَآءُ وَيُثۡبِتُ ۖ ۚ وَعِنۡدَهٗۤ اُمُّ الۡكِتٰبِ ﴿۳۹﴾۔
(Allah says for the books and scriptures revealed to all the prophets)! “And it was not within the power of any messenger to bring any verse without Allah’s command. Allah has revealed the Book for all periods. Whatever (command) Allah wants to destroy, He destroys, and whatever (command) He wants to preserve, He preserves, and the Mother of book [Lauhe Mahfooz (Divine Scripture)] is with Him.
Allah Ta’ala updated the Shari’ah according to the times and needs, with keeping all the Prophets a order i.e., the Word of True Justice (the term monotheism/Sunnah of God). And when the Almighty felt the need, He sent down the scriptures and books with the new law to the prophets. Here it is a point of view that not every prophet got a scripture or a book, but when the time required it.
Requirements change over time. People’s crimes and crime patterns keep changing. Punishments also change. New laws are made. And between all of them, the court (Allah) has the right to decide from the beginning to the end. Ultimately, the adopter of change succeeds Otherwise it ceases to exist.
Now it becomes clear that it is obligatory on the ummahs of the Prophets from the first Prophet Adam to the last Prophet Muhammad. That is necessory to conquer the goal of success happily accepting the new Sharia of the Highest (which is in accordance with the times of that time). Otherwise, the law revealed on the Prophet before that period, which has become obsolete with time, will turn him away from the path of Allah.
However, Allah says that!
if the first community faithfully adhere to their own Sharia along with the term monotheism (Sunnah of God), then on the day of justice, their decision will be in accordance with their sharia.
اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَالَّذِيۡنَ هَادُوۡا وَالصَّابِـُٔـوۡنَ وَالنَّصٰرٰى مَنۡ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالۡيَوۡمِ الۡاٰخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًـا فَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُوۡنَ ﴿۶۹﴾۔
[Q-05:69]
In fact, those who are Muslim, or Jewish, or Saibi, or Christian. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day (term monotheism/Sunnah of God) and does righteous deeds (according to the Shari’ah), they will have no fear, nor will they grieve.
اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَالَّذِيۡنَ هَادُوۡا وَالنَّصٰرٰى وَالصّٰبِـِٕـيۡنَ مَنۡ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالۡيَوۡمِ الۡاٰخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًـا فَلَهُمۡ اَجۡرُهُمۡ عِنۡدَ رَبِّهِمۡ ۚ وَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُوۡنَ ﴿۶۲﴾۔
[Q-02:62]
Those who are Muslims or Jews or Christians or star worshipers, (i.e. all the People who related to Books) who will believe in Allah and the Last Day (term monotheism/Sunnah of God), and do good deeds (According to sharih), such people will get their (deeds) reward in the presence of God. And (on the Day of Judgment) they will have no fear, nor will they grieve.
But the condition is that those people of the book have not made anyone a partner to Allah. That is, these people do not disbelieve.
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَغۡفِرُ اَنۡ يُّشۡرَكَ بِهٖ وَيَغۡفِرُ مَا دُوۡنَ ذٰ لِكَ لِمَنۡ يَّشَآءُ ؕ وَمَنۡ يُّشۡرِكۡ بِاللّٰهِ فَقَدۡ ضَلَّ ضَلٰلًاۢ بَعِيۡدًا ﴿۱۱۶﴾۔
[Q-04:116]
Indeed, Allah will not forgive the one who associates anyone with Him. Besides this (the sin of disbelief) He will forgive whomever He wills, and whoever associates partners with Allah, He went into great astray.
وَقَالُوۡا لَنۡ يَّدۡخُلَ الۡجَـنَّةَ اِلَّا مَنۡ كَانَ هُوۡدًا اَوۡ نَصٰرٰىؕ تِلۡكَ اَمَانِيُّهُمۡؕ قُلۡ هَاتُوۡا بُرۡهَانَکُمۡ اِنۡ کُنۡتُمۡ صٰدِقِيۡنَ ﴿۱۱۱﴾ بَلٰى مَنۡ اَسۡلَمَ وَجۡهَهٗ لِلّٰهِ وَهُوَ مُحۡسِنٌ فَلَهٗۤ اَجۡرُهٗ عِنۡدَ رَبِّهٖ وَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُوۡنَ ﴿۱۱۲﴾۔
[Q-02:111-112]
And they say that no one will go to heaven except a Jew or a Christian. This is their wishful thinking. Say, if you are truthful, present your argument. Yes, whoever bows his face to Allah and does righteous deeds, his reward is with his Lord, and there will be no fear on them, nor will they grieve (112).
Indeed, Allah loves those people. Who strive towards Allah. (Q-29: 69).
*******************
2. A same ruling for all prophets and their communities. (The term monotheism/Sunnah of God).
All the Prophets were given the same command, the term Tawheed (لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُۙ) means there is no God but Allah. The way to reach Allah is through the commands and rules (Sharia) those holy books, which were revealed to the prophets. And the most updated version of them is the Qur’an. Which Allah the Almighty revealed to the last prophet Muhammad ﷺ, “and whom He declared as a source of advice for the whole world”. (Q-68: 52). “And in whom Allah has blessed.” (Q-6:155).
Same order to Mohammad (SAW) and all the prophets.
مَا يُقَالُ لَـكَ اِلَّا مَا قَدۡ قِيۡلَ لِلرُّسُلِ مِنۡ قَبۡلِكَ ؕ ﴿۴۳﴾۔
[Q-41:43]
O Muhammad ﷺ! The same thing is repeated from too you that was said to the messengers before you.
Indeed, the commandment that Allah revealed to Muhammad and all the messengers before him is the commandment of monotheism. Be it a polytheist or a hypocrite or an atheist, everyone knows that Allah, God, Ishwar, Bhagwan, by whatever name you call them. But He is the same. He is also the creator of this universe. All the people of the world are children of the same parents.
But man! to whom God gave the conciousness. That he should think and bow after seeing, recognizing, and understanding the power of God. But man! He divided God himself. The tongue says that the creator is one. But sitting in temples, mosques, churches and other religious places of worship, he invents your God and my God. God bless you.
No matter how many prophets came to the world, regardless of which nation they were from, their message was the same, that . . . . . ..
وَهُوَ اللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَؕ لَـهُ الۡحَمۡدُ فِى الۡاُوۡلٰى وَالۡاٰخِرَةِ وَلَـهُ الۡحُكۡمُ وَاِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُوۡنَ ﴿۷۰﴾۔
[Q-28:70]
And He is the One God besides whom there is no god, He is praised in the beginning and in the Hereafter (both worlds). And his order is followed. And to Him you must return.
وَمَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنَا مِنۡ قَبۡلِكَ مِنۡ رَّسُوۡلٍ اِلَّا نُوۡحِىۡۤ اِلَيۡهِ اَنَّهٗ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّاۤ اَنَا فَاعۡبُدُوۡنِ ﴿۲۵﴾۔
[Q-21:25]
And We did not send such a Messenger before you, to whom this revelation was not revealed, that there is no god but Me, so worship Me alone.
وَمَا خَلَقۡتُ الۡجِنَّ وَالۡاِنۡسَ اِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُوۡنِ ﴿۵۶﴾۔
[Q-51:56]
And We have creat the jinn and humans. So that they may worship Me.
قُلۡ اِنَّمَاۤ اُمِرۡتُ اَنۡ اَعۡبُدَ اللّٰهَ وَلَاۤ اُشۡرِكَ بِهٖؕ اِلَيۡهِ اَدۡعُوۡا وَاِلَيۡهِ مَاٰبِ ﴿۳۶﴾۔
[Q-13:36]
Say, O Muhammad! That I has been commanded (By God) to worship one God, and not associate anyone with Him. It is to Him (Allah) that I invite (to you) and to Him I must return.
******************
Then Jesus said to him, “Go away from here, Shetan (Devil)! For it is written, you will worship the Lord your God, and you will serve him only.” (Gospel of Matthew-4:10).
******************
Where did religions existence come from?
When Allah sent the first man to this world, there was no such thing as religion. This man performed the essentials work of life, and thanked his Lord. And that’s finish. But with time, when the family grows, Shaitan (Devil) intervenes in human thoughts. As a result, crimes arise. God sees this and comes in His glory, and in the form of the scripture, the constitution (Sharia & Sunnah of God) is revealed. And the chain of prophecy established.
Now with the passage of time the population increases as a result of which the opposing views of the people increase. People stop thanking God and start disbelief. Then Allah Almighty reveals a new constitution (Sharia & Sunnah of God) with a new prophet. This is time! where religion comes into existence. Because people do not accept the new Constitution of Allah, but very few people. And the new Constitution that comes into existence here is 100% right against the old Constitution of that time.
The world knows that time and progress go hand in hand. But this world has not been like progressive in religious matters since the beginning. While man needs, that they should consider the signs in this universe, and then refer back.
Indeed, Allah loves those people. Who strive towards Allah. (Q-29: 69).
******************
Sunnah.
A great complexity has arisen in this word “Sunnah”. Sunnah is a arbic word. The original meaning of Sunnah is ‘method, constitution, custom or law’. But in general, when the word Sunnah is spoken, it refers to the sayings and actions attributed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ;
- It has meaning according to the dictionary. “The method on which the Messenger of Allah Muhammad and the Companions of the Caliphs followed”.
- The meaning of ‘Sunnah’ in the eyes of today’s scholars and common people. “The way the Messenger of Allah Muhammad (S.A.W) lived his life or carried out the affairs of life”.
In the both sentences meaning difference is such as like a hair line. But this difference is equivalent to walking on the such street. Meaning, if you fall, you will go directly to hell without a door. A large number of Muslims are confused in Sunnah and Hadith.
- According to the Qur’an, the meaning of ‘Sunnah’ is something like this…
سُنَّةَ مَنۡ قَدۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا قَبۡلَكَ مِنۡ رُّسُلِنَا وَلَا تَجِدُ لِسُنَّتِنَا تَحۡوِيۡلًا ﴿۷۷﴾۔
[Q-17:77]
The Messengers whom We sent before you (O Muhammad SAW), verily this was (our) Sunnah (word of monotheism) with them also. And you will not find a change in our Sunnah. (Q-17:77)
مَا كَانَ عَلَى النَّبِىِّ مِنۡ حَرَجٍ فِيۡمَا فَرَضَ اللّٰهُ لهٗ ؕ سُنَّةَ اللّٰهِ فِى الَّذِيۡنَ خَلَوۡا مِنۡ قَبۡلُ ؕ وَكَانَ اَمۡرُ اللّٰهِ قَدَرًا مَّقۡدُوۡرَا ۙ ﴿۳۸﴾ ۔
[Q-33:38]
There is no hardship on the Prophet in the work that God has made obligatory for him. And the Sunnah of God (the word of monotheism) was the same for those who had passed before. And Allah’s command is final.
سُنَّةَ اللّٰهِ فِى الَّذِيۡنَ خَلَوۡا مِنۡ قَبۡلُۚ وَلَنۡ تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ اللّٰهِ تَبۡدِيۡلًا ﴿۶۲﴾۔
[Q-33:62]
Those (people) who passed away before you, surely for them too was the Sunnah of God (the word of monotheism). And you will not find any change in the Sunnah of God.
سُنَّةَ اللّٰهِ الَّتِىۡ قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِنۡ قَبۡلُ ۖۚ وَلَنۡ تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ اللّٰهِ تَبۡدِيۡلًا ﴿۲۳﴾۔
[Q-48:23]
Those (people) who passed away, indeed, for them too was the Sunnah of God. And you will not find any change in the Sunnah of God.
**********************
Meaning of the Sunnah of God.
The meaning of the Sunnah of God is Law of God or Way of God or Method of God or Constitution of God. And that is “la-ilaha il lal laah” (there is none worthy of worship except God)
*****************
Muhammad has bequeathed in his last historical sermon of Hajj that . . ….
“And I leave such a thing among you, that if you hold fast to it, so you will never go astray after that, and that! The Book of Allah is the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophets”.
Here, the Sunnah of the Prophet refers to the term of monotheism or Sunnah of God. And this Sunnah was ordered to be conveyed to the whole world. And the Prophet himself was ordered to follow the same Sunnah of God.
كَذٰلِكَ اَرۡسَلۡنٰكَ فِىۡۤ اُمَّةٍ قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهَاۤ اُمَمٌ لِّـتَتۡلُوَا۟ عَلَيۡهِمُ الَّذِىۡۤ اَوۡحَيۡنَاۤ اِلَيۡكَ ؕ ﴿۳۰﴾۔
[Q-13:30]
“In the same way, We have sent you to this Ummah before which many Ummahs have passed. So that you recite to them what We have revealed to you.”
All that Allah Almighty revealed during the time of the Prophet is not all the Qur’an because at that time there were new difficulties every day. People and their forefathers who followed Devil traditions. It was not possible to change them until their hearts were completely illuminated by the light of faith. For this reason, Allah sends down a suitable command (Aayat). Which reserves for some time. After that, the new order suspends to the earlier order.
Finally! that Qur’an which came into existence, Allah says for him.
وَلَقَدۡ جِئۡنٰهُمۡ بِكِتٰبٍ فَصَّلۡنٰهُ عَلٰى عِلۡمٍ هُدًى وَّرَحۡمَةً لِّـقَوۡمٍ يُّؤۡمِنُوۡنَ ﴿۵۲﴾۔
[Q-07:52]
And indeed We have revealed to them a Book, which We have explained in detail with Our knowledge, it is a guidance and a mercy for the believers.
Every intelligent person in the world who has read even a little about the religions in the world knows that the prophets of each religion taught the same God. But still, after the deaths of these prophets, it did not take long for idolatry to start. For example, idolatry among the Jews in the past, the presence of the idol of Jesus in the churches, idolatry of all the prophets who came to India are examples.
Now in such circumstances, the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad ﷺ, who came as a mercy to the whole world. Could they say that? That obey me after me. Praise be to God. Never. The absence of a picture of the Messenger of God, Muhammad, is a proof of how serious he was on this issue. Obedience is to Allah, and Allah’s to that book, Whose! The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself obeyed.
There is a saying in our India that interest is dearer than principal, but this example is of infidels and oppressors. While for the believers, Allah has forbidden usury. The original inheritance of Islam is the Qur’an, and if anything is added to the Qur’an, it is usury.
Prophetic Sunnah.
The meaning of Sunnah according to the dictionary is correct. “The method followed by the Messenger of Allah Muhammad ﷺ, the Companions and the Caliphs”.
Indeed, Muhammad, the Companions, Caliphs and all the Prophets called the people out of ignorance and idolatry to the word Tawheed laa ilaha illal lah (Monotheism or Sunnah of God). And he himself also followed the method of “Sunnah of God”. Whose was held by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
QUESTION?
When a particular topic is discussed, questions also arise.
- The life of the Mohammad ﷺ according to the Qur’an is the best example. So why not act according to the life of the Prophet?
- In the Qur’an, Allah Almighty commands to obey the Messenger. what is the meaning of this?
- What is Hadith? How is it to obey the hadith?
- Can you recite the Qur’an without the help of a scholar? Is the Qur’an easy to understand?
Before looking for answers to these questions, there is one verse to consider.
وَاِذَا قَرَاۡتَ الۡقُرۡاٰنَ جَعَلۡنَا بَيۡنَكَ وَبَيۡنَ الَّذِيۡنَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِالۡاٰخِرَةِ حِجَابًا مَّسۡتُوۡرًا ۙ ﴿۴۵﴾ وَّجَعَلۡنَا عَلٰى قُلُوۡبِهِمۡ اَكِنَّةً اَنۡ يَّفۡقَهُوۡهُ وَفِىۡۤ اٰذَانِهِمۡ وَقۡرًا ؕ وَاِذَا ذَكَرۡتَ رَبَّكَ فِى الۡقُرۡاٰنِ وَحۡدَهٗ وَلَّوۡا عَلٰٓى اَدۡبَارِهِمۡ نُفُوۡرًا ﴿۴۶﴾ ۔
[Q-17:45-46]
“And when you recite the Qur’an, We place a veil between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter. And We seal their hearts, so that they do not understand it (the Qur’an). And in their ears heaviness. And when you mention your only Lord in the Qur’an, they turn away in disgust.”
That is, the natural consequence of not believing in the Hereafter is that the ability to understand the Qur’an ends. Now you would think that everyone believes in the Hereafter, because the Hereafter is a pillar of every religion in the world.
If so, tell me. Doesn’t belief in the Hereafter mean giving account to God? And if a person is afraid of the hereafter, then! Why does one brother keep an eye on another brother’s prosperity? How is perjury committed? How does he steal? How does he mess up the measurements? Howdo you forget parental rights? How do you forget the difference between haram and halal? How sisters and daughters are shamed. Why doesn’t a person think before committing a crime that Allah is watching everything and the angels are recording our actions.
The Qur’an is such a holy book that if a person reads it with a balanced heart and mind, he gets guidance, and it is easy to understand the Qur’an. (Al-Hamdu Lillah. The same is the experience of this Insignificant person). And if one reads with evil in mind, he gets what he wants.
********************
Q-1. The life of the Mohammad ﷺ according to the Qur’an is the best example.
لَقَدۡ كَانَ لَكُمۡ فِىۡ رَسُوۡلِ اللّٰهِ اُسۡوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَنۡ كَانَ يَرۡجُوا اللّٰهَ وَالۡيَوۡمَ الۡاٰخِرَ وَذَكَرَ اللّٰهَ كَثِيۡرًا ؕ ﴿۲۱﴾۔
[Q-33:21]
Indeed, the best example for you is in the Messenger of God ﷺ, for one whose hope in God and the Day of Resurrection, and he remembers God frequently.
Indeed, the life of Muhammad is an example for all the world. Because they lived their lives according to the monotheism (Sunnah of God) and commands of the Qur’an. In the book ‘The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History’, written by American author Michael H. Hart, Muhammad ﷺ is ranked first among the most famous and successful people since the first human Adam (A.S) to till now. While religiously they themselves are Christians.
So, shouldn’t Muslims also live according to the Sunnah of God and the orders of the Qur’an?
اِتَّبِعُوۡا مَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَيۡكُمۡ مِّنۡ رَّبِّكُمۡ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوۡا مِنۡ دُوۡنِهٖۤ اَوۡلِيَآءَ ؕ قَلِيۡلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُوۡنَ ﴿۳﴾۔
[Q-07:03]
(O Mankind), Follow that (book) has been revealed to you from your Lord. And do not obey other saints besides Allah. There are very few people who take advice.
Allah clearly commands that you obey this thing. which has been revealed to you from your Lord through the messengers. Not that Obey the messengers. For example. . . . . .
1. A polite and dignified person brings you a letter from a loved person one from the land of nothingness. So, tell me? The letter is important to you or that person bringing the letter? There is no doubt that the letter will be important. Yes, the person bringing the letter should be respectable. That is why Allah commands to send blessings on the prophets and to honor them.
2. Gabriel (peace be upon him) continued to convey the revelation of Allah to all the prophets. Ask yourself that? Was revelation more important to the prophets or Gabriel? Will get the answer.
Now the question arises. Those who want to live their lives considering the life of the Prophet as an ideal, is this the best decision for them? Or to live according to God’s word Quran. The Quran on which Muhammad himself lived his life. You decide for yourself!
Can light and shadow be equal? Is the Quran from the Prophet? Or the Prophet from the Qur’an? In fact, the Prophet is from the Qur’an. Because if Allah willed, He would have chosen another person to reveal the Qur’an. How many such events are we seeing today. That when the enemies of Islam read the Quran. As a result, they accept Islam. [It should be clear here that these people read the Qur’an, not the Hadith because their enmity is only with the Qur’an from 1400 years]. Is another document required? The Qur’an explains everything clearly, but you have the right to determine the path, because Allah says.
وَالَّذِيۡنَ جَاهَدُوۡا فِيۡنَا لَنَهۡدِيَنَّهُمۡ سُبُلَنَا ؕ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَمَعَ الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ ﴿۶۹﴾۔
[Q-29:69]
And those who tried for us! We will certainly explain to them the ways of guidance, and surely Allah is with the righteous people.
********************
Q-2. Allah commands in the Qur’an to obey the Messenger. what is the meaning of this?
وَمَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنَا مِنۡ رَّسُوۡلٍ اِلَّا لِـيُـطَاعَ بِاِذۡنِ اللّٰهِ ؕ﴿۶۴﴾۔
[Q-04:64]
And We do not send any Messenger, except that it may be obeyed by the permission of Allah.
وَمَا نُرۡسِلُ الۡمُرۡسَلِيۡنَ اِلَّا مُبَشِّرِيۡنَ وَمُنۡذِرِيۡنَ ۚ ﴿۵۶﴾۔
[Q-18:56]
And We send the Messengers only to give glad tidings (of God’s blessings to the people), and to warn them (of punishment).
وَاَطِيۡعُوا اللّٰهَ وَالرَّسُوۡلَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُوۡنَۚ ﴿۱۳۲﴾۔
[Q-03:132]
And obey! Of Allah and His Messenger. So that you may be blessed.
وَاَقِيۡمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اٰ تُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَاَطِيۡـعُوا الرَّسُوۡلَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُوۡنَ ﴿۵۶﴾۔
[Q-24:56]
And establish prayer and give alms and obey the Messenger of Allah. So That you may be blessed.
مَنۡ يُّطِعِ الرَّسُوۡلَ فَقَدۡ اَطَاعَ اللّٰهَ ۚ وَمَنۡ تَوَلّٰى فَمَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنٰكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَفِيۡظًا ؕ ﴿۸۰﴾۔
[Q-04:80]
He who obeyed the Messenger. Indeed, he obeyed Allah.” And whoever turned away (from you ﷺ), We did not send you as their guardian.
وَاَطِيۡعُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِيۡعُوا الرَّسُوۡلَ وَاحۡذَرُوۡا ۚ فَاِنۡ تَوَلَّيۡتُمۡ فَاعۡلَمُوۡۤا اَنَّمَا عَلٰى رَسُوۡلِنَا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ ﴿۹۲﴾۔
[Q-05:92]
And obey Of Allah and His Messenger. And be afraid. Then if you turn away. So remember that our Prophet is only responsible for conveying the message clearly.
قُلۡ اَطِيۡعُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِيۡعُوا الرَّسُوۡلَۚ فَاِنۡ تَوَلَّوۡا فَاِنَّمَا عَلَيۡهِ مَا حُمِّلَ وَعَلَيۡكُمۡ مَّا حُمِّلۡتُمۡؕ وَاِنۡ تُطِيۡعُوۡهُ تَهۡتَدُوۡاؕ وَمَا عَلَى الرَّسُوۡلِ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ ﴿۵۴﴾۔
[Q-24:54]
Say, Obey Allah and His Messenger. Then if you turn away (i.e. leave the path of truth). So whatever responsibility is on the Prophet, he is responsible for that. And your responsibility is what is expected of you. And if you obey the Messenger, you will be guided. And the responsibility of the Messenger is to convey [God’s command, i.e. the Quran] clearly.
كَمَآ اَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيۡکُمۡ رَسُوۡلًا مِّنۡکُمۡ يَتۡلُوۡا عَلَيۡكُمۡ اٰيٰتِنَا وَيُزَكِّيۡکُمۡ وَيُعَلِّمُکُمُ الۡكِتٰبَ وَالۡحِکۡمَةَ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمۡ مَّا لَمۡ تَكُوۡنُوۡا تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ؕۛ ﴿۱۵۱﴾۔
[Q-02:151]
Just as We sent among you a messenger from among yourself. Who recites Our verses to you. And purifies you. And teaches you Our Book and wisdom. And teaches you that. What you didn’t know.
يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اٰمِنُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوۡلِهٖ وَالۡكِتٰبِ الَّذِىۡ نَزَّلَ عَلٰى رَسُوۡلِهٖ وَالۡكِتٰبِ الَّذِىۡۤ اَنۡزَلَ مِنۡ قَبۡلُؕ وَمَنۡ يَّكۡفُرۡ بِاللّٰهِ وَمَلٰٓٮِٕكَتِهٖ وَكُتُبِهٖ وَرُسُلِهٖ وَالۡيَوۡمِ الۡاٰخِرِ فَقَدۡ ضَلَّ ضَلٰلًاۢ بَعِيۡدًا ﴿۱۳۶﴾۔
[Q-04:136]
O you who believers! Believe in Allah and His Messenger. And also on the Book which He revealed to His Messenger. And also on those books that were revealed earlier. And whosoever denies Allah, and His angels, and His messengers, and His books, and the Day of Resurrection, then that person has gone astray in a great distance.
يٰبَنِىۡۤ اٰدَمَ اِمَّا يَاۡتِيَنَّكُمۡ رُسُلٌ مِّنۡكُمۡ يَقُصُّوۡنَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ اٰيٰتِىۡۙ فَمَنِ اتَّقٰى وَاَصۡلَحَ فَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُوۡنَ ﴿۳۵﴾۔
[Q-07:35]
O children of Adam, if there come to you messengers from among you. Who recites my verses to you, then whoever will reform himself, there will be no fear for those people. And they will not be sad.
Indeed, the order of the messengers is the order of Allah. Because the Messenger preaches what God commands him through revelation. They cannot even bring a single verse from their side. So, it was determined that by obeying the command of the messengers, we are actually obeying the command of Allah. Because a messenger is just a messenger for people. As Gabriel (peace be upon him) is a messenger for all prophets. And the Prophets themselves have been ordered to follow the same revelation that they are preaching.
وَّاتَّبِعۡ مَا يُوۡحٰٓى اِلَيۡكَ مِنۡ رَّبِّكَ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ خَبِيۡرًا ۙ ﴿۲﴾۔
[Q-33: 2]
O Prophet! And follow what is revealed to you from your Lord. Indeed, Allah is aware of all your actions.
اِتَّبِعۡ مَاۤ اُوۡحِىَ اِلَيۡكَ مِنۡ رَّبِّكَۚ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ وَاَعۡرِضۡ عَنِ الۡمُشۡرِكِيۡنَ ﴿۱۰۶﴾۔
[Q-06:106]
O Prophet! Follow what is revealed to you by your Lord. There is no god but Him, and turn away from the polytheists.
قُلۡ هٰذِهٖ سَبِيۡلِىۡۤ اَدۡعُوۡۤا اِلَى اللّٰهِ ࣞ عَلٰى بَصِيۡرَةٍ اَنَا وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِىۡؕ وَسُبۡحٰنَ اللّٰهِ وَمَاۤ اَنَا مِنَ الۡمُشۡرِكِيۡنَ ﴿۱۰۸﴾۔
[Q-12:108]
O Prophet say! This is my way that I call people to Allah. I and those who obey me are all on the truth. Allah is holy. And I am not of those who associate (with Allah).
When the Qur’an says, “Obey Allah and His Messenger.” Then Allah Almighty wants to say that obey! Of Allah, and of the commandment La ilaha illa Allah (Islamic Monotheism or Sunnah of God), which is the inheritance of every prophet. And those orders (Shariyat), which Allah Ta’ala conveyed to us through His Prophet.
يٰۤـاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدۡ جَآءَكُمُ الرَّسُوۡلُ بِالۡحَـقِّ مِنۡ رَّبِّكُمۡ فَاٰمِنُوۡا خَيۡرًا لَّـكُمۡ ؕ وَاِنۡ تَكۡفُرُوۡا فَاِنَّ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ ؕ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلِيۡمًا حَكِيۡمًا ﴿۱۷۰﴾۔
[Q-04:170]
O Mankind! God’s Messenger has come to you with the truth from your Lord. So believe (in them), This is better for you. And if you disbelieve, then (know that) whatever is in the heavens and the earth belongs to God. And God is All-Knowing, and All-Wise (170).
يٰۤـاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدۡ جَآءَكُمۡ بُرۡهَانٌ مِّنۡ رَّبِّكُمۡ وَاَنۡزَلۡنَاۤ اِلَيۡكُمۡ نُوۡرًا مُّبِيۡنًا ﴿۱۷۴﴾ فَاَمَّا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ وَاعۡتَصَمُوۡا بِهٖ فَسَيُدۡخِلُهُمۡ فِىۡ رَحۡمَةٍ مِّنۡهُ وَفَضۡلٍۙ وَّيَهۡدِيۡهِمۡ اِلَيۡهِ صِرَاطًا مُّسۡتَقِيۡمًا ؕ ﴿۱۷۵﴾۔
[Q-04:174-175]
O Mankind! there has come to you a proof (i.e. the Qur’an) from your Lord. And We have sent to you this shining light (to dispel the darkness of disbelief). (174) So those who believe in God and hold fast to this (Qura’n). So God will admit them into Paradise (by His mercy and grace). And He will show them the straight path to Him (175).
Allah Almighty never orders to obey the Prophet’s life. Rather, Allah Almighty commands in the Qur’an to send blessings and peace on the Prophet and to honor him.
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ وَمَلٰٓٮِٕكَتَهٗ يُصَلُّوۡنَ عَلَى النَّبِىِّ ؕ يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا صَلُّوۡا عَلَيۡهِ وَسَلِّمُوۡا تَسۡلِيۡمًا ﴿۵۶﴾۔
[Q-33:56]
Allah and His angels send blessings upon the Prophet. O you who believe, send blessings on them, and send greetings and thanksgiving.
اِنَّاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنٰكَ شَاهِدًا وَّمُبَشِّرًا وَّنَذِيۡرًا (۸) لِّـتُؤۡمِنُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ وَ رَسُوۡلِهٖ وَتُعَزِّرُوۡهُ وَتُوَقِّرُوۡهُ ؕ وَتُسَبِّحُوۡهُ بُكۡرَةً وَّاَصِيۡلًا ﴿۹﴾۔
[Q-48:8-9]
Verily, We sent you as a witness and a bearer of glad tidings and a warner. (8) So, that (O people), you believe in Allah and His Messenger. And support him, respect him. And glorify [Allah] morning and evening.
To understand these words of Allah, we revise again.
- And obey Allah and the Messenger that you may obtain mercy.
- And We send not the messengers except as bringers of good tidings and warners.
- He who obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah; but those who turn away – We have not sent you over them as a guardian.
- And obey Allah and obey the Messenger and beware. And if you turn away – then know that upon Our Messenger is only [the responsibility for] clear notification.
- Say, “Obey Allah and obey the Messenger; but if you turn away – then upon him is only that [duty] with which he has been charged, and upon you is that with which you have been charged. And if you obey him, you will be [rightly] guided. And there is no responsibility on the Messenger except to convey a clear message.”
- Just as We have sent among you a messenger from yourselves reciting to you Our verses and purifying you and teaching you the Book and wisdom and teaching you that which you did not know.
- O children of Adam, if there come to you messengers from among you relating to you My verses, then whoever fears Allah and reforms – there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.
- And follow that which is revealed to you from your Lord. Indeed, Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted.
- Follow, [O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you from your Lord – there is no deity except Him – and turn away from those who associate others with Allah.
- Say, “This is my way; I and those who follow me invite to Allah with insight. And exalted is Allah; and I am not of those who associate others with Him.”
- Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet. O ye who believe! you alsoshould invoke blessings on him and salute him with the salutation of peace.
Now that the Messenger of God is not among us to teach us the Qur’an. But thank God that! We have that Qur’an in its original form, that which was obeyed by the Prophet Muhammad himself. So, what should we do now?
You have the right to decide because Allah says. “And those who strive for Us – We will surely guide them to Our ways”. [Q-29:69]
*******************
Q-3. What is Hadith? How is it to obey the hadith?
In the Shariah term, Hadith refers to the sayings and deeds attributed to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, as if the word Hadith is spoken in contrast to the Qur’an, because the Qur’an is ancient and the Hadith is modern compared to it. Hadith was written about 200 years after the Quran was revealed.
Which depended on hearsays and spoke. Ever since hadiths have been written down, the discussion of weak and strong hadiths has been common. The foundation of the hadith is attributed to references. For example, such and such a person heard his father or grandfather or a friend say that he heard to the father or grandfather or friend of such and such a person say to the Messenger of Allah that. . ..
Believe the hadith or not. It is important for him to understand the details of Question No. 1 and Question No. 2 as well as what Allah says. This is also important to know.
اَللّٰهُ نَزَّلَ اَحۡسَنَ الۡحَدِيۡثِ كِتٰبًا مُّتَشَابِهًا مَّثَانِىَ ۖ تَقۡشَعِرُّ مِنۡهُ جُلُوۡدُ الَّذِيۡنَ يَخۡشَوۡنَ رَبَّهُمۡۚ ثُمَّ تَلِيۡنُ جُلُوۡدُهُمۡ وَقُلُوۡبُهُمۡ اِلٰى ذِكۡرِ اللّٰهِ ؕ ذٰ لِكَ هُدَى اللّٰهِ يَهۡدِىۡ بِهٖ مَنۡ يَّشَآءُ ؕ وَمَنۡ يُّضۡلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنۡ هَادٍ ﴿۲۳﴾۔
[Q-39:23]
Allah has sent down the best Book of Hadith [the Qur’an], which is similar [to the earlier books; And whose verses] are repeated. Which causes the skins of the God-fearing people to tremble. Then their skins become soft. Then their hearts and their skins are attracted to the remembrance of God. This is the guidance of Allah, through it Allah guides whom He wills, and whoever Allah leaves astray, then there is no one to guide him (23).
اَوَلَمۡ يَنۡظُرُوۡا فِىۡ مَلَـكُوۡتِ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ مِنۡ شَىۡءٍ ۙ وَّاَنۡ عَسٰٓى اَنۡ يَّكُوۡنَ قَدِ اقۡتَرَبَ اَجَلُهُمۡ ۚ فَبِاَىِّ حَدِيۡثٍۢ بَعۡدَهٗ يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ ﴿۱۸۵﴾۔
[Q-07:185]
Did they not see! That the things that Allah has created in the kingdom of the earth and the sky. (and don’t even consider that), It is possible that the appointed time of his death has approached. So (Will they yet) will they believe in any other Hadith after this (Qur’an).
وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنۡ يَّشۡتَرِىۡ لَهۡوَ الۡحَدِيۡثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَنۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ بِغَيۡرِ عِلۡمٍۖ وَّيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًا ؕ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ مُّهِيۡنٌ ﴿۶﴾۔
[Q-31:06]
And some of the people are like that; Those who buy nonsense Hadiths. So that people can be misled from the path of Allah through without knowledge (i.e. that knowledge which is not from the Qur’an). And make it (i.e. the Qur’an) a joke. These are the people for whom there will be a humiliating punishment (6).
لَـقَدۡ كَانَ فِىۡ قَصَصِهِمۡ عِبۡرَةٌ لِّاُولِى الۡاَلۡبَابِؕ مَا كَانَ حَدِيۡثًا يُّفۡتَـرٰى وَلٰـكِنۡ تَصۡدِيۡقَ الَّذِىۡ بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ وَتَفۡصِيۡلَ كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ وَّهُدًى وَّرَحۡمَةً لِّـقَوۡمٍ يُّؤۡمِنُوۡنَ ﴿۱۱۱﴾۔
[Q-12:111]
(Those first nations who were punished). There is certainly a lesson for the wise in his historical stories. This Hadith (i.e. the Quran) such is not a (book) that is created (from own heart), rather it confirms the details of all that was revealed before it. And for those who believe are guidance and mercy (111).
فَبِاَىِّ حَدِيۡثٍۢ بَعۡدَهٗ يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ ﴿۵۰﴾۔
[Q-77:50]
So after this (Qur’an) which other Hadith will they believe in?
تِلۡكَ اٰيٰتُ اللّٰهِ نَـتۡلُوۡهَا عَلَيۡكَ بِالۡحَقِّ ۚ فَبِاَىِّ حَدِيۡثٍۢ بَعۡدَ اللّٰهِ وَاٰيٰتِهٖ يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ ﴿۶﴾۔
[Q-45:06]
These are the verses of God that we recite to you with truth. So what hadith will they believe in after God and His verses?
وَمَا هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكۡرٌ لِّلۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ ﴿۵۲﴾۔
[Q-68:52]
And (nothing) except that! That this [Qur’an] is an Reminder for all worlds.
بَلۡ هُوَ قُرۡاٰنٌ مَّجِيۡدٌ ۙ ﴿۲۱﴾ فِىۡ لَوۡحٍ مَّحۡفُوۡظٍ ﴿۲۲﴾۔
[Q-85:21-22]
Rather, it is a great Qur’an. (21) In a safe Lauh-Mehfooz (A Great Divine Book) (22).
اِنَّ هٰذِهٖ تَذۡكِرَةٌ ۚ فَمَنۡ شَآءَ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰى رَۖبِّهٖ سَبِيۡلًا ﴿۱۹﴾۔
[Q-73:19]
Indeed, this (Qur’an) is an guidence. So whom He (the Lord) wills. (By this) he guides you to the path of his Lord. (19).
وَالسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجۡعِۙ ﴿۱۱﴾ وَالۡاَرۡضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدۡعِۙ ﴿۱۲﴾ اِنَّهٗ لَقَوۡلٌ فَصۡلٌۙ ﴿۱۳﴾۔
[Q-86:11-13]
Swear by the sky, that rains. And swear of the exploding earth. (by the sprout of seeds). In fact, It (the Quran) is a clear judgement (between truth and falsehood).
فَمَا لَهُمۡ عَنِ التَّذۡكِرَةِ مُعۡرِضِيۡنَۙ ﴿۴۹﴾ كَاَنَّهُمۡ حُمُرٌ مُّسۡتَنۡفِرَةٌ ۙ ﴿۵۰﴾ فَرَّتۡ مِنۡ قَسۡوَرَةٍ ؕ ﴿۵۱﴾۔
[Q-74:49-51]
What has happened to them!Those who are turning away from this admonition (i.e. the Qur’an). (49) (Their condition will be) as if they are disoriented donkeys. (50) Who are running in fear of a predatory lion. (51).
Allah Almighty says. That He has sent down the best Book of Hadith [Qur’an] by which Allah guides whom He wills. And this Qur’an is an admonition for the whole world, and it is great, it is preserved in the Loh E Mehfooz (the safe book that has knowledge of the beginning from the end), and it is the one who opens the door of the Lord, and it is the one who separates the truth from the falsehood, and those who distance themselves from this book. They are like donkeys running away from a predatory lion.
It is proven from many verses in the Qur’an that Allah has revealed the best book of hadith, the Qur’an, and other books are prohibited for learning and teaching Islam. So, will you believe in other hadiths even after this? May Allah protect us.
وَيَرَى الَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوا الۡعِلۡمَ الَّذِىۡۤ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَيۡكَ مِنۡ رَّبِّكَ هُوَ الۡحَـقَّ ۙ وَيَهۡدِىۡۤ اِلٰى صِرَاطِ الۡعَزِيۡزِ الۡحَمِيۡدِ ﴿۶﴾۔
[Q-34:06]
And those who (Ahle Kitab) have been given knowledge. They know that [the Qur’an] your Lord has revealed to you is the truth. And this (Qur’an) guides to the Mighty and Praiseworthy Lord. (6).
قُلْ لَّٮِٕنِ اجۡتَمَعَتِ الۡاِنۡسُ وَالۡجِنُّ عَلٰٓى اَنۡ يَّاۡتُوۡا بِمِثۡلِ هٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنِ لَا يَاۡتُوۡنَ بِمِثۡلِهٖ وَلَوۡ كَانَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ لِبَعۡضٍ ظَهِيۡرًا ﴿۸۸﴾ وَلَقَدۡ صَرَّفۡنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِىۡ هٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنِ مِنۡ كُلِّ مَثَلٍ ؗ فَاَبٰٓى اَكۡثَرُ النَّاسِ اِلَّا كُفُوۡرًا ﴿۸۹﴾۔
[Q-17:88-89]
Say! That if mankind and jinns gather on this matter, to make an example of this Qur’an. Then they will not be able to match it. Although some of them are helpful to each other. (88) And surely We have explained every example in this Qur’an for the people. Still, most people do not remain without disbelief. (89)
قُلۡ اِنَّمَاۤ اَتَّبِعُ مَا يُوۡحٰٓى اِلَىَّ مِنۡ رَّبِّىۡ ۚ هٰذَا بَصَآٮِٕرُ مِنۡ رَّبِّكُمۡ وَهُدًى وَّ رَحۡمَةٌ لِّقَوۡمٍ يُّؤۡمِنُوۡنَ ﴿۲۰۳﴾۔
[Q-07:203]
You say! I follow what my Lord reveals to me. These are words of insight from your Lord, and a guidance and a mercy for a people who believe. (203)
وَاَنۡ اَتۡلُوَا الۡقُرۡاٰنَ ۚ ﴿۹۲﴾۔
[Q-27:92]
“And to recite the Qur’an”.
وَلَقَدۡ يَسَّرۡنَا الۡقُرۡاٰنَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِنۡ مُّدَّكِرٍ ﴿۱۷﴾۔
[Q-54:17/22/32/40]
And indeed We have made the Quran easy to learn. So is there anyone who can seek guidance? (17).
وَاتَّبِعُوۡۤا اَحۡسَنَ مَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَيۡكُمۡ مِّنۡ رَّبِّكُمۡ مِّنۡ قَبۡلِ اَنۡ يَّاۡتِيَكُمُ الۡعَذَابُ بَغۡتَةً وَّاَنۡتُمۡ لَا تَشۡعُرُوۡنَۙ ﴿۵۵﴾۔
[Q-39:55]
O Mohammad ﷺ “And follow the best of the Book, which was revealed to you from your Lord. Before a sudden chastisement befalls you. That of which you are not aware (55).”.
وَهٰذَا كِتٰبٌ اَنۡزَلۡنٰهُ مُبٰرَكٌ فَاتَّبِعُوۡهُ وَاتَّقُوۡا لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُوۡنَۙ ﴿۱۵۵﴾۔
[Q-06:155]
And this blessed Book i;e Quran that We revealed to you. So follow it. And adopt piety. So that you may be shown mercy (155).
وَهٰذَا صِرَاطُ رَبِّكَ مُسۡتَقِيۡمًا ؕ قَدۡ فَصَّلۡنَا الۡاٰيٰتِ لِقَوۡمٍ يَّذَّكَّرُوۡنَ ﴿۱۲۶﴾۔
[Q-06:126]
And this [Quran] is the straight path to your Lord. Indeed, for those who reflect, We have clearly explained Our verses. (126).
اَفَغَيۡرَ اللّٰهِ اَبۡتَغِىۡ حَكَمًا وَّهُوَ الَّذِىۡۤ اَنۡزَلَ اِلَيۡكُمُ الۡـكِتٰبَ مُفَصَّلاً ؕ ﴿۱۱۴﴾۔
[Q-06:114]
Say, O Prophet. “Shall I make someone other than Allah a ruler, even though He (Allah) has sent down to you a Book in which all the details have been explained” (114)?
Allah Almighty says that those among you who are true scholars know that this Qur’an is a book revealed by its Creator. And even if all the jinn and them were to meet, still they could not bring a copy of this book. Muhammad (ﷺ) declares by the command of Allah that I also follow what Allah has revealed to me. Which are words of understanding and open the way to guidance and mercy.
Allah says that We have explained every important thing in the Qur’an in different ways so that you can understand. So, recite the Qur’an (in your own language so that you can understand it). And then Allah declares that before death comes upon you. Is there anyone to be guided? Those who obey this book. And choose piety. That I may have mercy on you.
Now that Allah has made everything clear with all the proofs. So, is there still any truth left? Let’s look into the past.
The journey from Adam to Noah’s flood is about 1600 years. And in these 1600 years, man was so inclined to Satanism, that apart from Prophet Noah and a few of his companions, all the souls of the earth were disbelieved. And Allah had to annihilate everything with the resurrection of water due to the bad prayer of Hazrat Noah.
There is an interval of about 350 years between the flood of Noah and Abraham, and in those 350 years there was no believer on this earth except Abraham. As a result! From here the Lord of the worlds was called the God of Abraham. And he remains the god of a family or tribe.
There is an interval of about 430 years between the establishment of this family of Abraham in Egypt from Canaan and the departure of Moses from Egypt. During this period, the Israelites accepted the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But they do not true believer even after enjoying all the miracles of Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) and the mercy and grace of God. And from time to time, they keep quarreling with Hazrat Musa.
That’s the end. When the Israelites started worshiping the Golden Calf in just 40 days in the absence of Prophet Moses. And they became unbelievers. May Allah have mercy on them. And then it becomes a custom to oppose and kill God’s messengers. There is available examples of Hazrat Yahya and Hazrat Isa.
During this time, it became a hobby of scholars and politicians to distort the holy books and orders received from God. If Let alone the ancient Torah and Psalms. even then! There are more than 100 different versions of the Bible in modern times. In the same way, in the name of interpretation of the Qur’an, sometimes in the name of Muhammad, sometimes in the name of the Caliphs and Companions, sometimes in the name of weak and strong, Various hadiths came into being after 200 years of Islam.
The purpose of this discussion is that I Dr. Mansoori want to ask some questions to my readers. Leave aside all the Islamic sects in the world and ask yourself for an answer.
- When God has given us such a book (Qur’an), which is still based on its original copy, and which God himself took responsibility for its protection (Quran 6: 115), In which all the commands are clear and explained in different ways. (Q-7: 52), and ordered that from this day on, Islam became the religion for all the universes. (Q-3: 85), and obedience to the Qur’an is obligatory upon those who follow Islam (Quran 7:52). So will we still obey those hadiths? while . . . . . ..
- This Hadith came into existence 200 years after Islam.
- There are different authors of these hadiths and those who are human.
- Did God or Muhammad predict that scholars would write hadiths 200 years after Islam? And you Muslims will always obey them.
- Is not the word of God (Quran) perfect?
- Hasn’t Allah the Most High appointed the Qur’an as a source of guidance until the Day of Resurrection?
- Are there not differences each other these hadith?
- Didn’t the light of these Sunnahs and Hadiths divide Islam into hundreds of sects?
- Is the existence of sects lawful in Islam? Allah Almighty says.
اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ فَرَّقُوۡا دِيۡنَهُمۡ وَكَانُوۡا شِيَـعًا لَّسۡتَ مِنۡهُمۡ فِىۡ شَىۡءٍ ؕ اِنَّمَاۤ اَمۡرُهُمۡ اِلَى اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ يُنَـبِّـئُـهُمۡ بِمَا كَانُوۡا يَفۡعَلُوۡنَ ﴿۱۵۹﴾۔
[Q-6:159]
“Verily, those who divided their religion into sects, and turned into sects.” You have nothing to do with them, their matter belongs to Allah. Then He (Allah) will tell them what they used to do” (Q-6: 159).
Now one thing can be said with hundred percent that the Quran does not teach sects. Islam is the only Islam that can be easily provided by obeying the Qur’an. People who are involved in sects. These are that people. Those who believe in the Sunnah and Hadith written by today’s scholars, Just like the Muslim Ummah of the next prophets used to believe in the scholars and mixed books of that time.
Indeed, the Qur’an explains everything clearly, but you have the right to decide.
Because Allah says. “We shall certainly guide those who strive for Our cause to Our path”. (Q-29:69).
********************
Q-4. Can you recite the Qur’an without the help of a scholar?
هُوَ الَّذِىۡۤ اَنۡزَلَ عَلَيۡكَ الۡكِتٰبَ مِنۡهُ اٰيٰتٌ مُّحۡكَمٰتٌ هُنَّ اُمُّ الۡكِتٰبِ وَاُخَرُ مُتَشٰبِهٰتٌؕ فَاَمَّا الَّذِيۡنَ فِىۡ قُلُوۡبِهِمۡ زَيۡغٌ فَيَتَّبِعُوۡنَ مَا تَشَابَهَ مِنۡهُ ابۡتِغَآءَ الۡفِتۡنَةِ وَابۡتِغَآءَ تَاۡوِيۡلِهٖ ۚ وَمَا يَعۡلَمُ تَاۡوِيۡلَهٗۤ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ ۘ وَالرّٰسِخُوۡنَ فِى الۡعِلۡمِ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ اٰمَنَّا بِهٖۙ كُلٌّ مِّنۡ عِنۡدِ رَبِّنَا ۚ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ اِلَّاۤ اُولُوا الۡاَلۡبَابِ ﴿۷﴾۔
[Q-03:07]
He it is (God). Who has revealed the Book to you; some of its verses are decisive [Muhkamat- The meanings of which are clear], they are the basis of the Book. And others are allegorical [Mutashabihat- Those verses that are difficult to understand or have multiple meanings]; then as for those in whose hearts there is perversity, they follow the part of it which is allegorical, seeking to mislead and seeking to give it (their own) interpretation. but none knows its interpretation except Allah, and those who are firmly rooted in knowledge say: We believe in it, it is all from our Lord; And advice is accepted only by the wise.
This verse is the key to reading and teaching, understanding and explaining the Qur’an. According to this verse, the Qur’an tells us about the three periods of time: past, present and future. When the Qur’an talks about the past and the present, these are decisive verses. Which are easily understood by us. Allah Almighty says that Which is easily understood by you. This is Ummul Kitab [Mother of Quran], that is, the soul of the Qur’an or the essence of the Qur’an.
And what you don’t understand. It is the future, that is, Mutashabihat. And none knows the future except God. Even the Messenger of God, Muhammad (S.A.W) did not know, yes, as much as God willed. Now those who scholars try to interpret or detailed these Mutashabih verses. They only stir up temptations. Because these verses cannot be interpreted unless God wills. And when God wants to explain to someone the interpretation of a Mutashabih verse, He explains it according to that era.
Believe it! This trifle person is a witness that Allah revealed the understanding of many verses in such a heart. As if inspiration has happened, and the heart is so calm, that yes, that’s it, that’s it. And this happened while I was neither in worship nor in sleep, but engaged in worldly needs. And just suddenly everything happened.
*******************
Muhkam (Understandable) verses.
While reciting the Qur’an, we should consider the muhkam (understandable) verses. Because these verses are the Ummi Qur’an {Mothers of Quran}, the guidance and mercy and the rules and orders of Allah are clear in their verses.
هُوَ الَّذِىۡۤ اَنۡزَلَ عَلَيۡكَ الۡكِتٰبَ مِنۡهُ اٰيٰتٌ مُّحۡكَمٰتٌ هُنَّ اُمُّ الۡكِتٰبِ ﴿۷﴾۔
[Q-03:07]
He it is (God), Who has revealed the Book to you; Some of its verses are decisive [Muhkamat- The meanings of which are clear], they are the Ummul Kitab (basis of the Book).
*********************
Mutashabihat (Heritage of the future) verses.
وَاُخَرُ مُتَشٰبِهٰتٌؕ فَاَمَّا الَّذِيۡنَ فِىۡ قُلُوۡبِهِمۡ زَيۡغٌ فَيَتَّبِعُوۡنَ مَا تَشَابَهَ مِنۡهُ ابۡتِغَآءَ الۡفِتۡنَةِ وَابۡتِغَآءَ تَاۡوِيۡلِهٖۚؔ وَمَا يَعۡلَمُ تَاۡوِيۡلَهٗۤ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ ؔۘ ﴿۷﴾۔
[Q-03:07]
And some verses are Mutashabihat (Heritage of the future), then as for those in whose hearts there is perversity. They follow these Mutashibihat for mislead (people), and offer their own interpretation. But no one knows its meaning except Allah.
While reciting the Qur’an, when we come across such verses, which cause confusion and incitements of the Devil in the heart, understand that these verses are Mutashabihat (heritage of the future). How are the hearts and thoughts of true believers in these situations? Allah says.
وَ الرّٰسِخُوۡنَ فِى الۡعِلۡمِ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ اٰمَنَّا بِهٖۙ كُلٌّ مِّنۡ عِنۡدِ رَبِّنَا ۚ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ اِلَّاۤ اُولُوا الۡاَلۡبَابِ ﴿۷﴾۔ رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغۡ قُلُوۡبَنَا بَعۡدَ اِذۡ هَدَيۡتَنَا وَهَبۡ لَنَا مِنۡ لَّدُنۡكَ رَحۡمَةً ۚ اِنَّكَ اَنۡتَ الۡوَهَّابُ ﴿۸﴾۔
[Q-03:07-8]
And those who are perfect in knowledge say that we believe in them, all this is from our Lord. Allah says! that Only the wise accept advice. (7). And these people say! O Lord, when You have given us guidance, do not create perversion in our hearts after that, and grant us blessings on Your behalf, You are the One who bestows great gifts. (8).
[A] Now, if you are considering these verses positively, Allah will explain to you understand, as much as He wills.
To this Allah says that . . ….
وَمَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنَا مِنۡ قَبۡلِكَ مِنۡ رَّسُوۡلٍ وَّلَا نَبِىٍّ اِلَّاۤ اِذَا تَمَنّٰٓى اَلۡقَى الشَّيۡطٰنُ فِىۡۤ اُمۡنِيَّتِهٖ ۚ فَيَنۡسَخُ اللّٰهُ مَا يُلۡقِى الشَّيۡطٰنُ ثُمَّ يُحۡكِمُ اللّٰهُ اٰيٰتِهٖ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيۡمٌ حَكِيۡمٌ ۙ ﴿۵۲﴾۔
[Q-22:52]
And (O Prophet)! We did not send such a prophets or messengers before you, Whose desire for religious message has not been misled by Devil. So Allah nullifies the temptations of Devil. And Allah secures His verses. And Allah is All-Knowing and All-Wise. 52
وَّلِيَـعۡلَمَ الَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوا الۡعِلۡمَ اَنَّهُ الۡحَـقُّ مِنۡ رَّبِّكَ فَيُؤۡمِنُوۡا بِهٖ فَـتُخۡبِتَ لَهٗ قُلُوۡبُهُمۡ ؕ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهَادِ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسۡتَقِيۡمٍ ﴿۵۴﴾۔
[Q-22:54]
And (this is so that) those who have been given knowledge should know that! these are the truth from your Lord. And believe in him. And their hearts should bow down for this. And surely Allah guides the believers to a straight path (54).
[B] And if you are thinking negatively, so understand that you have fallen into trial, because Allah says.
لِّيَجۡعَلَ مَا يُلۡقِى الشَّيۡطٰنُ فِتۡـنَةً لِّـلَّذِيۡنَ فِىۡ قُلُوۡبِهِمۡ مَّرَضٌ وَّالۡقَاسِيَةِ قُلُوۡبُهُمۡ ۚ وَ اِنَّ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ لَفِىۡ شِقَاقٍۭ بَعِيۡدٍۙ ﴿۵۳﴾۔
[Q-22:53]
And (this is because) He makes Devils’s doubts a test for them. Those whose hearts are sick. And hardens their hearts. And surely the wrongdoers are engaged in fierce opposition (of the Divine Verses) (53).
وَلَا يَزَالُ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا فِىۡ مِرۡيَةٍ مِّنۡهُ حَتّٰى تَاۡتِيَهُمُ السَّاعَةُ بَغۡتَةً اَوۡ يَاۡتِيَهُمۡ عَذَابُ يَوۡمٍ عَقِيۡمٍ ﴿۵۵﴾۔
[Q-22:55]
And the unbelievers will not remain in doubt about it (the Quran) forever, yes until then! That a sudden resurrection may come upon them, or that the punishment of the Day of Destruction may come upon them. (55)
وَالَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا وَ كَذَّبُوۡا بِاٰيٰتِنَا فَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ مُّهِيۡنٌ ﴿۵۷﴾۔
[Q-22:57]
And those who disbelieve and deny Our revelations, for them is a shameful punishment. (57).
And the way to get out of this trial was also told by Allah Ta’ala. ‘Alhamdulillah’.
وَاِمَّا يَنۡزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيۡطٰنِ نَزۡغٌ فَاسۡتَعِذۡ بِاللّٰهِؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِيۡعُ الۡعَلِيۡمُ ﴿۳۶﴾۔
[Q-41:36]
And if a evil whisper comes to you from Devil, then seek refuge in Allah, surely He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing (36).
وَاِمَّا يَنۡزَغَـنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيۡطٰنِ نَزۡغٌ فَاسۡتَعِذۡ بِاللّٰهِؕ اِنَّهٗ سَمِيۡعٌ عَلِيۡمٌ ﴿۲۰۰﴾ اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ اتَّقَوۡا اِذَا مَسَّهُمۡ طٰۤٮِٕفٌ مِّنَ الشَّيۡطٰنِ تَذَكَّرُوۡا فَاِذَا هُمۡ مُّبۡصِرُوۡنَۚ ﴿۲۰۱﴾ ۔
[Q-07:200-201]
And if a evil whisper comes to you from Devil, then seek refuge in Allah, surely He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing (200). Undoubtedly, those who fear Allah, when they are touched by a temptation from the devils, they remember Allah. And suddenly they get relief. (201)
How to seek refuge from Allah. “Masha Allah”.
رَّبِّ اَعُوۡذُ بِكَ مِنۡ هَمَزٰتِ الشَّيٰطِيۡنِۙ (۹۷) وَاَعُوۡذُ بِكَ رَبِّ اَنۡ يَّحۡضُرُوۡنِ (۹۸) ۔
[Q-23:97-98]
Pray that, “O My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the incitements of the devils, And I seek refuge in You, my Lord, lest they be present with me.”
QUESTION?
Now another question arises. Will these Mutashabihat ever be easy to understand?
Of course, it will! Every passing day turns the future into the present. It is a matter of consideration that as much as we understand the Qur’an today, did they know as much when the Qur’an was revealed? The answer is no.
An example to prove this is that in recent times when we read the Qur’an regarding the development of science, we find that it is already written in the Qur’an. That is, when the verses related to science were uncovered by Allah through man, they are in front of us with their existence. While before that, those verses were being interpreted and explanation for unknown reasons.
Another example is that when Pharaoh drowned in the river, Allah says:
فَالۡيَوۡمَ نُـنَجِّيۡكَ بِبَدَنِكَ لِتَكُوۡنَ لِمَنۡ خَلۡفَكَ اٰيَةً ؕ﴿۹۲﴾۔
[Q-10:92]
“We will save (from worldly attachment) thee and your body on this day. So that you may be a sign for those after you”.
For about 1300 years, the meaning of this verse was that! Allah saved Pharaoh’s sinful body from the trials of this world by giving him death. And drowned him in the sea along with his entire army as a sign of lesson for the coming (next) nations.
But today after almost 3500 years the body of Pharaoh is available. The meaning of this verse is slightly different. . . . . .
“We will save you with your body. So that you may be a sign for those after you”.
In 1891, when the natural mummy of Pharaoh (who died by drowning 3500 years ago) became available, Allah proved that the Qur’an is also the truth and that the Prophet of Allah, Muhammad too. So that people will consider. At the same time, it has been proved that the meanings of the ‘Mutashabihat’ verses change with time. And the meanings of the verses become clear when the change future into present. And this series will continue till doomsday. But people still don’t think. In the second part of the same verse, Allah Almighty says:
وَاِنَّ كَثِيۡرًا مِّنَ النَّاسِ عَنۡ اٰيٰتِنَا لَغٰفِلُوۡنَ ﴿۹۲﴾۔
(Nevertheless) ”verily many people are heedless of Our verses”. [Q-10:92]
conclusion! When the Qur’an is recited, one should not strain oneself, nor strain one’s heart. Rather, as much as is understandable, one should think positively about it, and what is not understood, one should not bother with negative thoughts considering it as a trust for the future. The rest as much as God wills, He will explain to you according to your time. He is the greatest Knower and the Most Merciful.
Quran is easy to understand.
اِنَّاۤ اَنۡزَلۡنٰهُ قُرۡءٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ ﴿۲﴾۔
[Q-12:02]
Verily, We have revealed this Qur’an (for the Arabs) in Arabic, so that you may understand (2).
فَاِنَّمَا يَسَّرۡنٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَذَكَّرُوۡنَ ﴿۵۸﴾۔
[Q-44:58]
So We simplified this Quran in your language. So that they may understand. (58﴿.
وَلَقَدۡ ضَرَبۡنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِىۡ هٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنِ مِنۡ كُلِّ مَثَلٍؕ وَلَٮِٕنۡ جِئۡتَهُمۡ بِاٰيَةٍ لَّيَقُوۡلَنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡۤا اِنۡ اَنۡتُمۡ اِلَّا مُبۡطِلُوۡنَ ﴿۵۸﴾۔
[Q-30:58]
And surely We have explained all kinds of examples in this Qur’an to [understand] the people, and if you present a sign (verse) infront of them, then these unbelievers people will say that you are liars (58).
وَلَقَدۡ صَرَّفۡنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِىۡ هٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنِ مِنۡ كُلِّ مَثَلٍ فَاَبٰٓى اَكۡثَرُ النَّاسِ اِلَّا كُفُوۡرًا ﴿۸۹﴾۔
[Q-17:89]
And indeed, We have described every example for the mankind in this Qur’an. But most mankind ungrateful. And did not accept. (89).
Of course, understanding the Qur’an is easy, but it is important that you try to understand it in the language that you are proficient in. The Qur’an was revealed to the Arabs in Arabic. so that they could easily understand. Later it was declared as a source of guidance for all the world. Now, because the language of all the world is not Arabic, in order to understand it, you should read its translations in that language, in which you have mastery. There is no need for a scholar for this, because Allah Ta’ala has explained the Qur’an in various ways with examples.
For example, when a non-Muslim reads the Qur’an, he reads the meaning of the Qur’an in his own language, not the Arabic Qur’an. As a result, the truth descends into his heart. Then those whom Allah enables. They accept Islam declaratively. And those whom Allah does not enables; their hearts become harder.
On the other hand, there are born Muslims who read the Quran, but what they read, 99% of Muslims know better. Scholars also say that read the Qur’an with understanding, but has anyone seen a scholar in any general seminary who teaches Quran to read with your language and understanding?
Finally, born Muslims who do not read the translation of the Qur’an in their own language. They cannot be pure believers, because they do not know what Islam and its commandments are. Yes, these born Muslims are very adept at creating temptations. As a result! These Muslims seem to stand equal of the disobedient Israelites. May Allah Almighty grant us Muslims the ability to read, teach, understand and explain the Qur’an. Ameen.
Allah has loved the Qur’an for the whole world.
هٰذَا بَصَاٮِٕرُ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدًى وَّرَحۡمَةٌ لِّقَوۡمٍ يُّوۡقِنُوۡنَ (۲۰) ۔
[Q-45:20]
It [the Qur’an] is the words of insight (understanding) for the mankind. And for the people who believe, there is guidance and mercy (20).
اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ يَتۡلُوۡنَ كِتٰبَ اللّٰهِ وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاَنۡفَقُوۡا مِمَّا رَزَقۡنٰهُمۡ سِرًّا وَّعَلَانِيَةً يَّرۡجُوۡنَ تِجَارَةً لَّنۡ تَبُوۡرَۙ (۲۹) ۔
[Q-35:29]
Verily, those who read the Book of Allah (Quran), and establish prayer and spend secretly and publicly from what We have given them. Their hope (from Allah) and their trade will never be in loss. (29)
قُلۡ نَزَّلَهٗ رُوۡحُ الۡقُدُسِ مِنۡ رَّبِّكَ بِالۡحَـقِّ لِيُثَبِّتَ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَهُدًى وَّبُشۡرٰى لِلۡمُسۡلِمِيۡنَ ﴿۱۰۲﴾۔
[Q-16:102]
You say! That this [Qur’an] has been revealed by the Holy Spirit (Gabriel) from your Lord with truth. So that it [Qur’an] may strengthen the believers. And for the Muslims, [this Qur’an] is guidance and glad tidings (102).
*******************
A Muslim is the one who understands the Qur’an and follows it.
وَهٰذَا صِرَاطُ رَبِّكَ مُسۡتَقِيۡمًا ؕ قَدۡ فَصَّلۡنَا الۡاٰيٰتِ لِقَوۡمٍ يَّذَّكَّرُوۡنَ ﴿۱۲۶﴾۔
[Q-06:126]
And this (Islam) is the straight path to your Lord. Indeed, We have explained the verses (of the Qur’an) in detail for those who remember us. (126).
وَلَقَدۡ جِئۡنٰهُمۡ بِكِتٰبٍ فَصَّلۡنٰهُ عَلٰى عِلۡمٍ هُدًى وَّرَحۡمَةً لِّـقَوۡمٍ يُّؤۡمِنُوۡنَ ﴿۵۲﴾۔
[Q-07:52]
And indeed we brought a book for them. Which we have described in detail with our knowledge. It is a source of guidance and mercy for the believers (52).
وَالَّذِىۡ جَآءَ بِالصِّدۡقِ وَصَدَّقَ بِهٖۤ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡمُتَّقُوۡنَ ﴿۳۳﴾ لَهُمۡ مَّا يَشَآءُوۡنَ عِنۡدَ رَبِّهِمۡ ؕ ذٰ لِكَ جَزٰٓؤُ الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ ۚ ﴿۳۴﴾۔
[Q-39:33-34]
And [Muhammadﷺ] who brought the truth (i.e. the Quran). And those who confirm this (truth), they are pious. (33) They will receive whatever they want from their Lord. This is the reward of those who do good deeds (34).
تِلۡكَ اٰيٰتُ الۡكِتٰبِ الۡحَكِيۡمِ ۙ ﴿۲﴾ هُدًى وَّرَحۡمَةً لِّلۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ ۙ ﴿۳﴾ الَّذِيۡنَ يُقِيۡمُوۡنَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَيُؤۡتُوۡنَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَهُمۡ بِالۡاٰخِرَةِ هُمۡ يُوۡقِنُوۡنَ ؕ ﴿۴﴾ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ عَلٰى هُدًى مِّنۡ رَّبِّهِمۡ وَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡمُفۡلِحُوۡنَ ﴿۵﴾۔
[Q-31:2-5]
These are verses from the Book of Wisdom. Which is guidance and mercy for those pious. Who establish prayer and give zakah, And they believe in the hereafter. These are the people who are guided by their Lord. And these people will prosper.
الٓمّٓۚ ﴿۱﴾ ذٰ لِكَ الۡڪِتٰبُ لَا رَيۡبَ ۚ فِيۡهِ ۚ هُدًى لِّلۡمُتَّقِيۡنَۙ ﴿۲﴾ الَّذِيۡنَ يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِالۡغَيۡبِ وَ يُقِيۡمُوۡنَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنٰهُمۡ يُنۡفِقُوۡنَۙ ﴿۳﴾ وَالَّذِيۡنَ يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِمَۤا اُنۡزِلَ اِلَيۡكَ وَمَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِكَۚ وَبِالۡاٰخِرَةِ هُمۡ يُوۡقِنُوۡنَؕ ﴿۴﴾ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ عَلٰى هُدًى مِّنۡ رَّبِّهِمۡ وَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡمُفۡلِحُوۡنَ ﴿۵﴾۔
[Q-02:2-5]
This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for pious.
Who believe in the unseen, establish prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them, and who believe in what has been revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what was revealed before you, and of the Hereafter they are certain [in faith].
Those are upon [right] guidance from their Lord, and it is those who are the successful.
وَمَنۡ اَحۡسَنُ دِيۡنًا مِّمَّنۡ اَسۡلَمَ وَجۡهَهٗ لِلّٰهِ وَهُوَ مُحۡسِنٌ وَّاتَّبَعَ مِلَّةَ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ حَنِيۡفًا ؕ وَاتَّخَذَ اللّٰهُ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ خَلِيۡلًا ﴿۱۲۵﴾۔
[Q-04:125]
And who is better in religion than a person who devotes himself to Allah while doing good. And he should follow Millat-e-Ibrahim (Faith of Abraham) by doing good deeds. And Allah had made Abraham his friend.
O borned Muslims, read the Qur’an. Read in your language. Ask your questions from Allah, and get answers to your questions. From the beginning of this universe to the end, there is no such question that is not answered in the Qur’an. Know the purpose of man’s creation. Know the humanity and God’s order, so that you can please your Lord by following it. Learn to be a believer. Be able to stand before God on the Day of Judgment. you can join the list of those, who will be blessed with the intercession of the Holy Prophet (Mohammad).
O my Lord, grant all Muslims the ability to respect Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) and all the Prophets and to send blessings and peace upon them, and grant me the ability to read with understand the book Quran of my Lord. Ameen.
