The key to really benefiting from the Quran is to check your heart first before you even touch Allah’s book. Ask yourself, honestly, why you are reading it. Is it to just get some information and to let it drift away from you later? Remember that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was described by his wife as a “walking Quran”: in other words, he didn’t just read and recite the Quran, he lived it. Allah says:
كِتَابٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَارَكٌ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوا آيَاتِهِ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ
“(This is) a Book We have revealed it to you, blessed, that they may ponder (over) its Verses and may be reminded those of understanding.” (Surah Sad 38:29)
Allah has sent the Quran through our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the Quran is a guidance for all Muslims. Recently, we aware of the Facts about the Quran, which tells the importance of it in making the relationship stronger. It is recommended for every believing man and woman to recite the Book of Allah, the Noble Quran, often, with due contemplation and understanding. Relationship with Allah is very important for all of us to live peaceful lives.
There are some easy ways that make your bond stronger with Allah:
- Forgive those who did wrong to you
- Thank Allah for what he gave you
- Make Du’aa’ (supplication)
- Do your Wudu (ablution)
- Repentance
- Face his Test
- Your road-map for life and afterlife
- Before you touch it, check your heart
- Do not just read, you have to listen too
- Make sure you understand what you(ve read
Allah informs us about His Prophet and Messenger, Muhammad, Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, that he said: “My Lord my people have abandoned – acting or listening – to the Quran” and that is because the idol-worshippers did not pay attention or listen to the Quran, as Allaah Says (what means): Allah says:
وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَا تَسْمَعُوا لِهَٰذَا الْقُرْآنِ وَالْغَوْا فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَغْلِبُونَ
“And those who disbelieve say, “Do not listen to this Quran and speak noisily during [the recitation of] it that perhaps you will overcome.” (Surah Fussilat 41:26)
People are social animals. We want to correspond with other astute life. The Qur’an lets us know how to correspond with the wellspring of all sagacity and the wellspring of all life-the One God. The Qur’an lets us know who God is, by what name we ought to address Him, and the path in which to correspond with Him. Might Allah provide for us Taufiq (awesome help) to follow up on these showing and direction?
