How to understand the Quran

How to understand the Quran?


To appreciate the Quran fully one must take it up and launch into the task of calling people to God, making it one’s guide at every stage. Then and only then, does one meet the various experiences encountered at the time of its revelation. One experiences the initial rejection of its message, as was done by the city of Makkah. One comes face to face with Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab – (the enemies) as well as with Abu Bakr and Hamza (the friends) of Allah.

A man can neither understand the laws, nor the moral teachings, and the economic and political principles of the Quran, unless he tries to implement them in his own life. Hence, the individual who fails to implement this book into personal practice will fail to understand it.

As no other religious scripture present today provides a system of governance in the society except the Qurán, it is an only divine book which gives a perfect code of social governance, on individual as well as collective level.

Only Quran has the solutions to the problems of humanity. This book, initiated the greatest revolution in the history of mankind. Beginning with the preaching of a message by an individual; just within the short span of 23 years the kingdom of God was established on earth (Arabia) as it is present in the heavens above.

There is nothing left of the miracles shown by the earlier Prophets. That stick of Moses (peace be upon him) which turned into a serpent is no more to see. The miracles of Jesus (pbuh) healing the ones born deaf and blind cannot be witnessed by us today. But, the Qurán – the miracle of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is still very much present and alive. It is a proof – the irrefutable proof – the irrefutable evidence, that he was a true messenger of God.

That fountain of love, peace and security – that system of social and economic justice which we desperately need today, can only be achieved with laws of God, it is He Who is the legislator, He makes the Laws and tells us what is allowed and what is forbidden. The masses are unaware and the media is bombarding miss-information about Islam. In such circumstances it becomes an obligatory duty of every true Muslim to present the correct picture of the Qurán and show the world that in it, is guidance and a Mercy from the Lord of Mankind – for all of humanity – for all time.

We are suffering in darkness from last 200 to 300 years, we are witnessing the evil effects of men made systems. Communalism had already failed and capitalism is on the brink of collapse. Is it not high time to turn towards the system of God – the One who made us as well the laws to regulate our lives?

Think again...

Indeed, there has come to you from Allah a light and a Book (Quran). Wherewith Allah guides all who seek His good pleasure to ways of peace and safety, and brings them out of darkness, by His Will, to light and guides them to a Path that is Straight (Islam). Al-Quran Ch.5 Verse.15-16

How to conquer Time?

How to conquer Time? All history shows that Evil came to an evil end and time is always in favour of those live clean and pure lives and know how to wait in patience and constancy having faith in God and His messengers. Time through the ages bear witness that nothing remains except Good deeds and teachings of Truth. If he is going to waste or misuse life, Man against time is in loss. In the Qurán an appeal is made with respect to Time as one of the creations of Allah, of which everyone knows something but of which no one can fully explain the exact significance. If life is considered to be a business bargain, Man by merely accumulating material wealth or gains, will lose. When he makes up his account, it will show a loss. It will only show a profit if he obeys God and follow His messengers, leads a good life, and contributes to society by directing and encouraging other people on the path of Truth and constancy. If he lived only for himself, ...

What was the message of Jesus..?

What was the message of Jesus..? If there would have been more than one master of this universe, then there would surely have been great crisis. But, we don ’ t see any crisis around us, in fact there is such a perfect harmony behind all the forces of nature that no reasonable mind can fail to see behind all creation one single and all powerful Command of one single and all powerful Creator. Therefore, reason refuses to accept the idea of conflicting gods, and points towards the Unifying command in creation indicating the Unity of the Creator. This is not only the message of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) but the message of all the Prophets who came before him. The message given to every Prophet in all ages was to believe in One and Only God confirming with the fundamental basis of creation on which this universe runs. They never say anything before they receive Allah ’ s commands to say it, and their acts are conditioned accordingly. This is also the teac...

मिराज क्या है ..?

मिराज क्या है ..? मिराज भ्रम की एक अजीब घटना है। रेगिस्तान में एक अकेला यात्री, प्यास से लगभग मर रहा है, पानी की एक विस्तृत शीट देखता है। लेकिन हकीकत में वहां कोई पानी नहीं है, यह उसकी दृष्टि का एक धोका है - एक मिराज है। वह उस दिशा में आगे बढ़ता रहता है, लेकिन कुछ भी नहीं पाता और आखिरकार चरम शारीरिक और मानसिक दर्द में मर जाता है। ईश्वर का अस्तित्व एक पूर्ण वास्तविकता है, जबकि दूसरी ओर उसकी अस्वीकृति, खुद में वास्तविकता नहीं है बल्कि इस पूर्ण वास्तविकता से इनकार है - एक मिराज है। जो लोग इस तथ्य से इनकार करते हैं, उसके विरूद्ध विद्रोह करते हैं, और उसके चिन्हों को देखने से इंकार करते हैं, वे महासागर के गेहरे अंधेरों में हैं, अंधेरे में लहर, एक दूसरे के ऊपर, और उसपर घने अंधेरे बादल! वास्तविकता की दुनिया में प्रकाश का सच्चा स्रोत अल्लाह है, और जो लोग इस प्रकाश से खुद को काटते हैं वे वास्तव में अंधेरे में हैं, क्योंकि यह केवल एकमात्र सच्ची रोशनी को अस्वीकार करते हैं। उनके सभी कर्म एक मिराज द्वारा भ्रमित आदमी की तरह हैं। जिस सच्चाई को उन्होंने खारिज कर दिया वह हमेशा उनक...

 Islamization of Education --(TEACHER'S MANUAL)  By Dr. Bilal Philips The topic of Islamization of Education has been under discussion for almost the last 40 years. It can bedated back to at least the 20th century, where educators from various parts of the world gathered in Makkah in the 70s, and analyzed the problems. Muslims were facing with regards to Education. They looked at the existing models and discussed Islamic requirements, and they wrote about the need for Islamization of knowledge as it is conveyed in the educational institutions. In fact, they virtually wrote an encyclopedia on the topic at hand. Since that time, a number of Islamic schools have arisen in Muslim countries.. Education is primarily the responsibility of parents, it is primarily the responsibility of the Muslim parents to educate their Muslim children. The early scholars of the past, whether Imam Malik, Shafi’ee or Sufyaan Ath-Thawree ,talked about their mothers and not particular schools....

How a Muslim accepted Islam..!

How a Muslim accepted Islam..! Bought up in India under the mix influence of Hindu-Christian culture, celebrating Birthdays, New years, Christmas, Diwali as well as Eid and Bakra-Eid while going for prayer to Jumma Masjid every Friday with my father. Although born in a Muslim family, by the time I finished my graduation I was totally unaware of what Islam is, not knowing even the meaning of word Islam itself. But one day, one of my father’s friends forgot a copy of the Quran with English translation in our home and I started reading it. I myself didn’t know that what is going to happen after that. When I studied the Quran with open eyes it was a new world altogether, the spell of all that I had read in my school and college days were cast asunder. It was like wandering in ignorance up till now and the real roots of knowledge seemed to be found. By the Grace of Allah, I was from the world of falsehood into the world of truth – from doubt...

DO WE HAVE FREE WILL OR NOT ? WHAT IS PREDESTINATION (QADAA AND QADAR) ?

Qadar Qadar is an Arabic word, meaning predestination or “divine fore ordainment”. It is one of the sixth pillar of faith, along with faith in unanimity of Allah, the revealed scriptures, the prophets, the days of resurrection, and archangels. Note that  what’s  meant by belief in Q ada’ (   the Divine will) is , sure  belief that everything that happens  in this   universe happens by  will  and decree of Allah . Belief in Q adar (   the Divine decree   )  is the   important pillar  of faith , and no one’s  faith is complete  without   it. In Saheeh Muslim (8)  it is  narrated that Ibn ‘Umar (   may Allah be  pleased  with him   )  heard that some  folks  were denying Q adar. He said ,  “If I  me et these  folks,   I will  tell them that  I have  nothing  to do with them   and that they have nothing   ...
