I bear witness that there is no deity besides Allaah—alone, who has no
partner, no equal; Lord of the Messengers, Creator of the heavens and
the earths. I bear witness that Muhammad is His devoted-servant and His
Messenger sent with a Clear Bookthat separates guidance from
misguidance, deception from righteousness, and conjectures from
certainty.
Allaah revealed the Book (Noble Quran) in order for us to read it, and
mull over it with care and vigilance; to enrich our souls from its
remembrance; to carry itand construe it in the best of manners; to
affirm it and strive to establish its commands and prohibitions; pick
the fruits of its precious knowledge that is our way to Allaah and to
glean the wisdom from its gardens and flowers.
For it is His Book, and nothing else, that can guide His seekers toHim.
It is the path that leads the traveler to Allaah. It is His
brilliantLight that illuminates the darkness of uncertainty and
disbelief. It is His mercy of guidance and source of happiness for all
creation. It is the bridge that connects His devotee to Him when all
else fails. It is the great door to Him that remains open, when all else
is closed. It is the straight path that is not tainted by the opinions
of mortals. It is the remembrance full of wisdom thatis not swayed by
desires. It is the noble revelation containing wisdom that sages can
never fathom. Its wonders never end, nor are its clouds barren, its
signs are never exhausted, its agreements never contradict.
The more a soul delves into its depths, the more it increases in insight
and guidance. It is the cure for mankind from diseases of the heart. It
is life to the hearts and pleasure and brillianceto the souls. It is the
harbinger that calls night and day: "O seekers of good, hurry to me"
It is the caller of faith at the headof the straight path, calling
(whatmeans): "O our people, respond to the caller of Allaah and have
faith in Him so He may forgive your sins for you and may save you from a
painful chastisement." [Referring to verse 31 of chapter 46]
The Quran is Allaah's greatest blessing on us. It is the fulfillment of
His promise to Aadam and his descendants, as Allaah Almighty Says (what
means): ''…There shall come to you guidance from Me, and whatsoever
follows My Guidance no fear shall be on them, nor shall they sorrow''
[Quran 2:38]
It is the only weapon for struggling against the forces of evil and
temptation in this world.It is the only means to overpowerour fear and
anxiety. It is the onlyLight as we grope in the darkness, with which to
find our way to success and salvation. It isthe only healing for our
inner sickness, as well as the social ills that may surround us. It is
the constant reminder of our true nature and destiny, of our stationand
our duties.
But alas! Desires have put out thelamps of the hearts, and opinionsof
the mortal humans have shut those doors of Divine guidance and lost the
keys. The hearts are laden with the rust of their own earning, so much
so that they do not find the realities of the Quranopening to them. The
burdens of ignorance have so settled upon itthat its knowledge does not
blossom into righteous actions.
Woe unto you, how have you made the nourishment of your heart those vain
opinions that contradict the Quran and Sunnah (Prophet's Tradtion) that
neither replenish it nor quench its thirst?So now your heart does not
accept nourishment of the Word of the Lord of the worlds, and thespeech
of His eminent Messenger!
For how will you ever find your way through the darkness of conjectures
and opinions of mortals to the clear distinction ofright and wrong when
you haveclosed your eyes to the light of the Book of Allaah and the
way ofthe Messenger?
Woe unto you, how have you adulterated the right opinions with the sick
ones, and the accepted ones with the rejected ones, and have managed to
incapacitate your souls from receiving the guidance and knowledge from
the Book that is immune to falsehood from all directions.
Nay, but it is, by Allaah, a trial that has blinded the hearts from the
sources of righteousness and has embezzled the minds from their goals.
The Book of Allaah is the coolnessof eyes for which the
competitorscompete, the finality to which the contenders contend.
How can you still be in the dark under a rising sun?
How can you lose your way undera bright constellation?
Glory be to Allaah, The Exalted!
