The holy book of Allah, and every word of Holy book, is the word of truth and believing in it is a part of faith. As Allah Almighty says in the opening verses of the Qur’an: That is, this is the Umm Al-Kitab in which there is no room for doubt. In every age there have been many Pharaohs who tried their best to harm the greatness of the Qur’an, but they did not succeed then and they will not succeed because Interpretation of… انِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَ اِِنَّا لَهٗ لَحَفِظُون.
انِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَ اِِنَّO Beloved! ﷺ Indeed, We have revealed the Qur’an to you and We protect it from distortion, change, excess and deficie The divine book is the Holy Qur’an, the comprehensive book of all the principles and branches of religion and the highest answer of the world of humanity. A speech book is a complete law. The Qur’an is a prescription for healing. Qur’an is an enlightened leader, a precise balance, a strong preacher, an informed and insightful leader, a dark light, a strong orator and it is a mercy to the worlds and a book that separates truth from falsehood. It is also a collection of historical, political, military, educational, jurisprudential, ethical, doctrinal, natural, hygienic, industrial, philosophical, literary, mathematical and other sciences and subjects. History has shown that even if one tries to extinguish the light of the Qur’an, diminish its excesses, distort and change it or cast doubt on its characters, one will not succeed or succeed. Enemies of Islam and misguided people like Wasim Rizvi, despite all their tricks, deceptions and efforts for hundreds of years, have not been able to extinguish the light of the Qur’an in the slightest, and there will never be the slightest change in the word of Allah. Nor can Muslims be skeptical of any of its letters. There is a very popular saying in Persian The value of Gohar Shah Dand or Badand Johri ”means the one who knows the value of pearls and diamonds is either a king or a jeweler!
Allah Almighty is the first to compile the Qur’an. As stated in the Quran
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ (Al-Qiyamah 17
فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ (Al-Qiyamah 18).
Then when We have recited it (from the tongue of Jibreel), then follow what is recited. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) is the second compiler of the Qur’an. Beloved Prophet compiled the Qur’an on various objects. The whole Qur’an was written in different objects. Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique, 3rd Comprehensive Quran. In the battle of Yamama, when a large number of memorizers and readers were martyred, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique, on the advice of Hazrat Umar Farooq, collected the Holy Quran in book form from various objects. Thus, after the first Prophet (Pbuh ), Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq had written the Qur’aan in book form. Hazrat Usman Ghani is the fourth compiler of the Qur’an. During his caliphate, when the conquests became very great and the speakers of different languages entered the realm of Islam, they started reciting the Qur’an differently. At that time, in order to eliminate the differences with the Muslim Ummah and to compile it on one recitation, Hazrat usman compiled the Qur’an on one recitation.The commentry that was written along with the Quran was also abolished. Hazrat Usman collected the original Qur’an separately from the commentaries. For this reason, he is called Jami-ul-Quran. (Sahih Bukhari, Book of Virtues of Quran, Chapter Collection of Quran) Allama Suyuti writes with reference to the book “Fahm al-Sunan” by Abu Abdullah al-Mahsabi:
The writing of the Qur’an was nothing new. The Holy Prophet himself used to order it to be written, but it was scattered on pieces of paper, shoulder bones and palm twigs. Hazrat Abu Bakr combined it from different places. All these things were as if sheets were scattered in the house of the Prophet (Pbuh ) and the Qur’aan was written in them and Nothing is lost. And (the collection of complete Qur’anic memoirs in our beloved Prophet’s house) in which (Quranic Surahs) were written separately; by the order of Hazrat Abu Bakr, hazrat Zayd ibn Thabit gathered (all the surahs) in one place and tied them all with one thread… The Qur’an is not a forged statement but a confirmation of (Allah’s existing books) which were before it (i.e the Taurat ( Torah), the injeel (Gospel) and the other scriptures of Allah) and a detailed explanation of everything and a guide and a mercy for the people who believe (surah Yousuf 111)
Editing procedure: The method of Zayd ibn Thabit (R. A) in compiling the Qur’an should be well understood. Zaid (R. A) himself was a memorizer of the Qur’an Therefore, he could have written the whole Qur’an from his memory besides , there were hundreds of memorizers at that time. Also, Hazrat Zaid (R. A) could have copied the Holy Qur’an from the complete version of the Holy Qur’an which was written in the time of the Holy Prophet but as a precaution, they did not settle for just one of them; On the contrary, by using all these means at the same time, he did not record any verse in his scriptures until written and oral evidence of its continuity was found. In addition, the verses of the Holy Qur’an which the Prophet had written under his supervision were preserved in the possession of various Companions. Therefore, it was announced that whoever has any verses of the Holy Qur’an written to him should bring them to Hazrat Zayd (Fath al-Bari, Uloom al-Quran). Hazrat Abu Bakar (R. A) Himself supervised this work and continued to reward him with his useful advice. In this work It is proved from the traditions that Hazrat Abu Bakar (R. A) also engaged Hazrat Umar (R. A) as helper of Hazrat Zaid (R. A), and at the same time Hazrat Umar (R. A) and Hazrat Zaid (R. A) were also ordered to sit at the door of the mosque; then whoever brings to you the copy of the Holy Qur’an with a witness. Write down
Whoever brought the verses of the Holy Quran to Hazrat Zaid, Hazrat Zaid used to confirm it in four ways:
(1) First of all, he used to confirm it with his memory
(2) Then, as has been mentioned above, Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (RA) had also made Hazrat Umar (RA) his assistant in this work, so Hazrat Umar (RA) also used to check it with his memory.
(3) No written verse was accepted unless two credible witnesses testified that it was written before the Holy Prophet (Pbuh )
(4) After this, the written verses were compared with the collections which had been prepared by various Companions. Imam Abu Shama says: “The purpose of this method was to increase the writing of the Holy Qur’an as much as possible. Extreme Care should be taken and instead of just memorizing, it should be copied from the writings that were written before the Prophet (Pbuh ). When the work of compiling Qur’an was completed with the collective confirmation, the Companions consulted among themselves: What name should be given to it? So some of the Companions named it “Safar”; but this name was not passed due to the resemblance of the Jews. In the end, all the Companions agreed on the name “Mushaf”. (Al-Atqan 1/2).From Surah Al-Furqan, where the Almighty says: And the Messenger will say, “O my Lord! These are my people, the ones who had disabled and made this Qur’an of no account.” (MAHJUR = they had immobilized it like villagers who bind a cow by tying her front foot to her horn). If this ummah has been given a priceless book of guidance like the Holy Quran, then it is necessary to give thanks to it. The meaning of thanks giving here is that the rights of the Quran should be paid. The basic rights of the Holy Quran are as follows:۔ Believing in the Qur’an Reading the Qur’an Understanding the Qur’an Practicing the Qur’an Preaching the Qur’an. The entire month of Ramadan has been attributed to the blessings of the Qur’an, so the divine instruction is “The city of Ramadan in which the Qur’an is revealed”. “There is no greater blessing than the Holy Quran which deserves happiness and celebration, that is why Allah Almighty has bestowed upon us all of our happiness. I have associated the big Month Ramzan with the Qur’an . ” The more we realize Almighty’s love for us and his perfect wisdom, the less we will fear and anxiety and disharmony we’ll have about the future /life. I wish the Muslim Ummah would have realized that the greatest blessing on earth in the form of the Qur’an that has been bestowed upon it, is great book of Almighty, obey Allah, his messanger and quran you will be successful.. Quran melts hard hearts and mends broken ones. The crying of human kind is different compared to others, crying fear of Almighty and a request for his satisfaction. People weeping in grief sorrow for demand and hope for, and people cry a lie and deception and some of them are weeping with heartbreak and some non beneficial that is remorse. The Quran praise the cry of fear of Allah from the previous nation and command them for urged the sons of the Islamic nation to follow.
Reasons behind the Decline of Muslims : A hadith is narrated quoting Hazrat Ali in which it is stated that the best medicine for this ummah is the Holy Quran. On the authority of Ali, he said: The Prophet (Pbuh) said, “The best medicine is the Qur’an.” Today, the example of this Ummah has become like that of a thirsty person, in whose neighborhood a sweet spring is flowing. But instead of being irrigated by this spring, he wants to fill his stomach with dirty water . If history is asked why this ummah is in decline with such a great blessing as the Quran? So not only history but also the Qur’an will give us the answer to this. Therefore, in the Qur’an, Allah says: “Allah Almighty does not change the condition of a nation unless they change their condition by their own will and authority.” This is a very simple matter. If the Qur’an had been followed to some extent, this civil war would not have reached this point. There was a different kind of prosperity with the blessing of Qur’aan . My grandfather” Ahmad Akhoon” who was a very famous religious scholar, sage and businessman of his time used to teach the Qur’an to my father and my father says that he would not give us anything to eat in the morning until we do not pray and do not recite the Qur’an. I also heard from my kind parents three decades ago , the sound of reciting the Qur’an used to come from every house It is a different matter that people did not understand it properly, but the recitation would have taken place anyway. Yes, now there is no recitation, there is no question of contemplation and deliberation, who will learn and who will read? If we have any worldly interest in Arabic we learn otherwise our focus remains always on other languages. If we want to live the life of a Muslim, this is not possible without making the Qur’an a part of our life. Such situations have become our destiny due to not following the teachings of the Qur’an, so we should sincerely seek refuge in the footsteps of the Qur’an again. Without it, no other cure can be effective. In these circumstances, the real need is to turn to the Qur’an al-Hakim, our destiny will not change, and we will not be able to attain honor and glory until we pay due respect to this Qur’an. Therefore, if there is a ladder, it is the Qur’an. Our destiny is related to this book. If any path is opened, it will be opened through it. ”
Qur’anic verse on child rearing : There are many verses in the Qur’an and Ahadees on child rearing. I would like to quote some verses of Surah Luqman and a Ahadith from Trimidhi shareef for the readers here. Regarding the training of children, the Prophet (Pbuh ) said: “The best gift a father can give to his son is to train him well” (Sunan al-Tirmidhi). The testament that Hazrat Luqman made to his son is narrated by Allah in the Holy Qur’an that Hazrat Hakim Luqman while admonishing his son said, “O son! Not associating partners with Allah, indeed polytheism is a great injustice. Hazrat Luqman further said, “O my son, if an action is equal to a grain of mustard seed (even if it is not considered as trivial action) it is in a rock or in the heavens and then it is hidden inside the earth. Allah Almighty will reveal it, surely Allah Almighty is the Subtle, the Aware. O my son! Establish prayers, and exhort good deeds and forbid evil deeds, and be patient over what befalls you. Indeed, this (patience) is one of the deeds of courage. Surely Allah does not like the arrogant one, and be moderate in your ways, and keep your voice low. Surely the worst voice is that of the donkey”(Surat al-Luqman). O God, grant me success day and night . Give me the same fear in your outward and inward, Give me the love of the Sunnah, the love of the Qur’an. May the work be my lifelong service to the Qur’an Give me the understanding of the Qur’an, the light of mysticism? Constructive Note for readers. Some readers may not like the title of my article, but my purpose is not to offend anyone but the title is a source to draw the reader’s attention to the article. I just try to use my heartfelt feelings, Research, Reflections, Observations and Intellectual Abilities to preserve them through the pen. May Allah accept my small effort and I hope that future generations and writers will also write on this subject.
