also turns. You undergo a change of character; and come out better.
You come closer to Allah and you understand your religion more.
Be so close to the Qur'an that not only do you consider it to be your
companion in life, but it also considers *you* to be its companion
both here and on Yawm al-Qiyamah (Day of Resurrection).
Be so close to the Qur'an that whenever you open to read it, it draws
you indeeply and takes you on amazing journeys through power concepts
and thought-provoking dialogue, through history and the undisputed
facts of the future and Hereafter; learning life lessons and learning
about yourself. The journey doesn't end until you end it (by closing
the Book).
Be so close to the Qur'an that you make it your first point of
judgement and guidance when you quarrel or fall out with a relative,
spouse, friend orstranger. You place it before you with the sincerity
to resolve matters and follow the causes for peace.
"… If they both desire reconciliation, Allah will cause harmony
between them. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and All-Aware." [al-Nisa:
35]
Be so close to the Qur'an that if you happen to miss your daily
portion ofit, it preoccupies your mind and you are not at peace until
you take yourregular nourishment from it.
Be so close to the Qur'an that just hearing the words, "O you who
believe…" strikes something within your heart. You are all ears and
attentive; ready to respond.
Be so close to the Qur'an that you truly feel its blessings in your life.
Be so close to the Qur'an that while many love listening to music and
lyrical tunes, for you nothing can beat the melodious recital of your
favourite Surah (chapter).
Be so close to the Qur'an that you actually walk F E A R L E S S. In
every place, at all times, and every stage of your life. Your fear is
only from One Being, and He is above His Throne, `azza wa jall.
Be so close to the Qur'an that the mere contemplation of a verse
brings tears to your eyes.
Be so close to the Qur'an that after a long and tiring day, all you
want to do is make wudhu' (ablution) and sit down with a cuppa tea in
a cosy spot for some heartwarming reading and reflection.
Be so close to the Qur'an that it becomes the first companion you turn
to when you need to hear comforting words, or a shoulder to lean on in
difficult times, or guidance in times of confusion. It becomes your
first point of contactalongside salah (prayer) and du'a
(supplication).
Be so close to the Qur'an that its melodious verses drown away the
meaningless chatter of this world and you preferlistening to it
instead of listening to much of Mankind…
Be so close to the Qur'an that you become recognised for it; in your
character and the way you carry yourself through life.
Be so close to the Qur'an that being in its companymakes you feel like
you are in the best company; the most serene, thought-provoking,
heart-warming, and tranquil of gatherings. People think you are alone…
but you are anything but alone.
Be so close to the Qur'an that you can't fathom theidea of dying
without having memorised it. Youcan't see yourself standing in front
of Allah in complete ignorance of His Book, His Verses, His Words.
Be so close to the Qur'an that everytime you hear a verse, you stop
and check yourself against it. Is it a command/prohibition which you
adhered by? Divine advice which you've taken on board? Wisdom which
you've learnt from? Check yourself against every verse and be the
first to benefit from it, because you are that close.
Be so close to the Qur'an that before embarking on the path of
knowledge, you first immerse yourself in it. You do not place any
branch of 'ilm before knowledge of the Book, and thus you spend your
early learning days learning all about it.
Be so close to the Qur'an that its verses replay melodiously in your mind…
Be so close to the Qur'an that you can find for yourself a verse
reflecting every moment of your life. You will always know what to do.
Be so close to the Qur'an that the worldy chaos around you only
increases your yearning towards secluding yourself, reciting its
verses and being in its beautiful company.
Be so close to the Qur'an that nothing, nothing can come in between it and you.
