 What is the correct way for the masses to seek knowledge of the Holy Quran?

                                       

Islam


Answer:

 It is our firm belief that the Holy Quran was sent down by Allah Almighty. It says:

تِبۡيَٰنٗا لِّكُلِّ شَيۡءٖ

“Tibyaanal LikulliShaie”

(In which everything has been clearly explained).

So nothing has been left unexplained in it. But together with it the Holy Quran says:

“Wamaa Ya'qeluhaaaIllal- 'Aalemoon”

(nobody can understand it but the learned). That's why it says: 

فَسۡ‍لُوٓاْ أَهۡلَ ٱلذِّكۡرِ إِن كُنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ

“Fas-Alooo Ahlazzikri In Kuntum Laa Ta'lamoon” 

(ask the learned men [about its knowledge] if you have no knowledge).

It is not so that the learned men have understood by themselves but it says: 

وَأَنزَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ ٱلذِّكۡرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيۡهِمۡ

“Wa Anzalnaa aIlaiekaz-zikra Litubaiena Linnaasi Maa NuzzilaIlaie-him” 

(O' Prophet! We sent down to you this (Quran) so that you may expound to people the exegesis of that which has been sent down towards them).

Glory be to Allah! How beautifully these two Quranic verses teach people to acquire the knowledge of the Holy Quran in a methodical and systematic way i.e. O' Illiterate people! Seek knowledge from “Ulama علماء” (the learned men) and O'Ulama! You should learn from the speech, words of Our Messenger (صلّی اللہ علیہ وسلم) so that you may understand Our “Kalaam”(the

Glorious Quran). It is, therefore, incumbent upon people to gain knowledge of the Quran from “Fuqaha-o-Ulama” (Muslim jurists and scholars) who are not only in know of the Quranic chapters, verses but also Prophetic practices, guidances, and sayings which explain the commands of the Quran.

 Whoever ignores “Fuqaha-o-Ulama” to this effect and tries to understand the Quran by his own understanding will go astray.
