The Glorious Quran is the word of
Almighty Allaah which was revealed upon the Holy Prophet Muhammad [Sallal
Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] The
Quran is the most exalted Book of the Books sent by Almighty Allaah and is a
guidance for the entire mankind. The Holy Prophet Muhammad
[Sallal Laahu
Alaieh Wa Sallam] taught
the Quran to thousands of Noble Companions [Sahabah-e-Kiraam] and from
amongst them approximately 10 000 Sahaba-e-Kiraam were Huffaaz
[The one who memorize the entire Quran] of the Glorious Quran.
There is no room for doubt in the Holy Quran and no person can even make
one Verse [Surah] equivalent to the Surah of the Holy Quran. It is
essential to bring Faith [Imaan] on every word in the Quran and to
refute even one word in the Quran is Kufr.
The Quran cannot be touched without
Ghusl and Wudhu/Wuzu. To read the Quran is a great way of worship [Ibaadah]
and to look at and to touch the Quran with love is a means for great blessing
and reward.
It is not even permissible to read
the Quran from memory when you are in an impure state. To recite Ta'ooz [A'uzu
billaah] before reciting the Quran is Waajib [compulsory] and to
recite the Tasmiyah [Bismillah] is Sunnah [Tradition] and
Mustahab [desirable]. The Quran should be recited softly and attentively
in a gathering where many people are reciting the Quran.
When the Quran is being recited
aloud, it is compulsory [farz] for all those present to listen
attentively. To be a Memorizer [Haafiz] of the Holy Quran is a very
great gift and an act worthy of great blessing, but to learn the Quran and then
to allow it to be forgotten is a great sin.
When a page of the Quran tears or
becomes old, then it should be wrapped in a clean piece of cloth and buried in
a small grave [hole]. If the Quran falls from your hand unintentionally,
it should be picked up and kissed. One should repent for this error and take
flour [wheat] equivalent to the weight of the Quran and give it as
charity [Khairaat].
It is Waajib to respect and honour the Glorious Quran. One should not face his feet or back towards the Quran. One should also not sit higher than the Quran, since these are all acts of disrespect.
When confronted with a problem, turn to the Holy Quran. All your
problems will be solved with great swiftness. Read the Holy Quran and also
teach it. This is the true teaching of Islam.
