Description

Indeed the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) summarised this Religion with his statement: The Religion is naseehah (sincerity)! So then Tameem ibn Aws, may Allah be pleased with him, then said, We asked, To whom? He said: To Allah, HIS BOOK, His Messenger, the leaders of the people, and their common folk. [Muslim] The sincerity that is due to the Book of Allah includes its regular recitation, learning the rules of tajweed and reciting it beautifully, learning about its tafseer and the reasons for its revelation, affirming that it is the Truth, the perfect Speech of Allah and not part of the creation, honoring it and defending it, abiding by the orders and prohibitions found in it, teaching it and calling to it. [See Jaamiul-Uloom wal-Hikam of Ibn Rajab Al-Hambalee] So by reading and reflecting over the Quran, one fulfills an obligation and is rewarded for that. Upon fulfilling this obligation, the Quran then becomes a proof for him on the Day of Judgment! And that is our second benefit we will take by embracing this Noble Book.
