Special reasons for reading
Holy Quran By Said bin Salim - There are countless reasons for examining, understanding and applying the Word of the Creator of this universe and all what it contains. Inimitable: It challenges all that no one can dare to disprove it. How is it that humans cannot write a book like this even if they pooled all their resources together and got help also from the spirits. The Quran put this challenge over fourteen hundred years ago and yet no one has been able to disprove it. Billions of books have been written — but not one like the Quran. Incorruptible: It is the only religious sacred writing that has been in circulation for such a long time and yet remains as pure as it was in the beginning. The Quran was kept intact. Nothing was added to it; nothing was changed in it; and nothing was taken away from it ever since its revelation was completed over 1400 years ago. Unsurpassable: The Quran is God’s final revelation to humankind. Allah, the Almighty revealed the Torah to Moses, the Zabuur to David, the Injil to Jesus, and finally the Quran to Muhammad (PBUH). No other book will come from Allah the Almighty to surpass His final revelation. Indisputable: The Quran withstands the test of time and scrutiny. No one can dispute the truth of this Book. It speaks about past history and turns out right. It speaks about the future in prophecies and it turns out right. It mentions details of physical phenomena which were not known to people at the time; yet later scientific discoveries prove that the Quran was right all along. Every other book needs to be revised to be in accord with modern knowledge. The Quran alone is never contradicted by a newly-discovered scientific fact. Your roadmap for life and afterlife: The Quran is the best guidebook on how to structure your life. No other book presents such a comprehensive system involving all aspects of human life and endeavour. The Quran also points out the way to secure everlasting happiness in the afterlife. It is your roadmap showing how to get to Paradise. God’s gift of guidance: God has not left you alone. You were made for a reason. God tells you why He made you, what He demands from you and what He has in store for you. If you operate a machine contrary to its manufacturer’s specification you will ruin that machine. What about you? Do you have an owner’s manual for yourself? The Quran is from your Maker: It is a gift for you to make sure you function for success, lest you fail to function. It is a healing from God. It satisfies the soul and cleans the heart. It removes doubts and brings peace. Your calling card to communicate with God. Humans are social creatures. We love to communicate with other intelligent life. The Quran tells us how to communicate with the source of all intelligence and the source of all life — the One God. The Quran tells us who God is, by what name we should address Him, and the way in which to communicate with Him. Are these seven reasons not sufficient enough for reading the Quran? - Courtesy: http://main.omanobserver.om |
