The Holy Quran is fountain head of entire learning, but there is a striking difference between the Holy Quran and other books The Quran is word of Allah (SWT) and books on various branches of knowledge are human studies of Allah’s creation. These books deal with specific subjects and topics. A book on one discipline is quiet on other disciplines. They are no way comparable with the Holy Quran. The Holy Quran is a treasure of our knowledge and learning that man may need till end of time. All knowledge originates from the Holy Quran. This is the basic truth of Islamic doctrine of knowledge. We need to get out of the darkness of
ignorance and move towards the limelight and bright future. The Holy Prophet (SAW) said,
“O people I am leaving behind among you the Holy Book (Quran) and the Sunnah (way of Prophet (SAW)), if you follow these in letter and spirit you will never be strayed.”
(Hakim Al-Mustadrik, Book1 Hadith 318)
Reading the Quran fulfils an Islamic duty.
The Quran will be a proof for us on the Day of Judgment
The Quran will intercede for us on the Day of Judgment.
Your status in this life will be raised.
The Quran is the key for peace and satisfaction.
There are ten rewards for each letter you recite from the Holy Quran.
The reciters of the Quran will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels.
Your position in Paradise is determined by the amount of Quran you memorize in this life!
The Quran will lead you to Paradise!
Why learning Quran?
The Holy Quran is the last and final message of Almighty Allah (SWT) through His Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon Him), which guarantees success for mankind in this world and life hereafter. Allah Almighty has laid down all the laws of valuable knowledge, good deeds and prosperity of the whole mankind in His Book (Quran). In the present era the Muslims are politically, financially, culturally and socially reached the verge of decay and destruction only because they have turned a deaf ear to Holy Quran. The only solution to overcome the miserable plight of Muslim is to resort to the teachings of Holy Quran. It is stated in the Holy Quran
“And how will you disbelieve (now) while you are (fortunate) ones to whom the Verses of Allah are recited, and the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace be upon him) is (himself) present among you? And whoever holds fast to (the Embrace of) Allah is most surely guided to the straight path.”
(Sura A’l-Imran 3, verse # 101)
To develop close affinity with Holy Quran and to understand it is the most important need of the hour. When a man starts learning or teaching the Holy Quran, the doors of spiritual satisfaction and solace start opening in his heart. Holy Quran makes the character of its reader unprecedented and exemplary.
“And indeed We have made the Qur’an easy for direction and guidance, but is there anyone who will take advice?”
(Sura Al-Qamar 54, verse # 17)
Students and teachers of the Holy Quran both have been praised many times in Ahadith (traditions) by the Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon Him).
“ The Best amongst you is (he) who learns and teaches the Holy Quran.”
(Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Hadith # 4739)
It is narrated by Hazrat Abu Zar (RA) that Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon Him) said him:
“O Abu Zar! It is better for you to learn a single verse of Holy Quran in the morning rather to pray hundreds of Rakaat (Nafal Prayer)”
(Ibn-e-Ma’ja, Volume 1, Hadith # 619)
The Minhaj-ul-Quran is actively involved in da`wa, propagation of true Islamic teachings, reformation of the moral and spiritual affairs of Ummah, revival of Islamic sciences and renaissance of Islam from its very first day. “Call for turning towards the Holy Quran” is one of the main call for achieving these goals. In the recent era it is much difficult for overseas Muslims to go the Mosques and learn Holy Quran with their busy life. That’s why for the ease and betterment of Muslim Ummah, It is special order of Shaykh-ul-Islam to offer online courses so that they may rebuild their association with Quran and Sahib-e-Quran and get knowledge of the Holy Quran by comfort of their home. Thus those who can’t approach to Mosques or Islamic centers we invite them to come and benefit from our online services and enlighten their inner and outer self with the light of Holy Quran.
