QUR’AN IS THE WAY OF LIFE

Allaah the Almighty, started sending down the Glorious Quran to  Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam on the night of Al-Qadr (Decree) ,from Jibreel (alaihisalam),( may Allaah exalt his mention)and conveyed it to people as it was revealed to him from His Lord. The Quran was revealed parts by parts and verses by verses; it was not all sent at once so that it would be easy for Muslims to memorize it.

 It guides all people, regardless of their different colors and languages, to the path of goodness and it leads them to the truth, and to safety and happiness in this world as well as the Hereafter.

The Glorious Quran is relevant for each and every time and place. Allaah sent down the Glorious Quran to Prophet Muhammad and He preserved and protected it against any distortion, change, or alteration. We still recite the Glorious Quran in the same form revealed to our Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu álayhi wa sallam.

The Glorious Quran contains all the rules, regulations, and guidelines that people need to reform their lives and establish an ideal society based on morals, virtues, justice, and solidarity. The Glorious Quran contains the fundamentals of the Islamic legislations, the pillars of Islam, the lawful and the unlawful, rules of good manners, the history of previous nations, and the stories of the Prophets and their struggle and sacrifice in order to convey the call for monotheism.

Whenever a verse or a chapter was revealed, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would command the scribes of revelation to write it down immediately.

He urged his companions, may Allaah be pleased with them, to learn and memorize it. A number of companions competed in memorizing and learning it.and  they also taught it to others. For example, the revered companion Ubayy Ibn Ka'b, may Allaah be pleased with him, taught a large number of companions .

 The Muslims are still learning the Quran at the hands of Shaykhs and reciters.

Allaah guaranteed that He would preserve the Quran up to the Day of Judgment: Allaah Says (what means): {Verily We It is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur'an) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption).}[Quran 15:9].

 Miracles  in the Holy Quran are many.some are here

1.       THE PEOPLE OF SABA AND THE ARIM FLOOD
2.      THE PEOPLE OF AL-HIJR
3.     PROPHET NUH(as)'S FLOOD
4.     PROPHET MUSA (AS) AND SEA'S SPLITTING IN TWO
5.      THE TROUBLES WHICH AFFLICTED PHARAOH AND THOSE AROUND HIM
6.              "HAMAN" AND ANCIENT EGYPT MONUMENTS

There are many authentic narrations that urge a Muslim to learn the Quran.The Prophet,

sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said: "The best of you is he who learns the Quran and teaches it to others." [AlBukhaari]

The Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, also said: "Recite the Quran, because on the Day of Resurrection, it will come as an intercessor for those who recite it." [Muslim]

the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said:

"One who is proficient in the Quran is associated with the noble, upright, recording angels, so beautify the Quran with your voices." [Al-Bukhaari

The Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, also said: "The one who recites a letter from Allaah’s Book will be credited with a good deed and a good deed is multiplied ten fold. I do not say that Alif, Laam, Meem is one letter, but Alif is a letter, Laam is a letter, and Meem is a letter. [At-Tirmithi]

Etiquettes of Recitation

A reciter should be entirely pure as far as his/her body, clothes, and location are concerned.

In addition to ritual purity, he should use a Siwak (tooth stick) The etiquettes of recitation include seeking refuge with Allaah from the cursed Shaitan before one starts reciting, i.e. to say "A'oodh Billaahi Minash-Shaytaani Ar-rajeem". Then to say Al-Basmalah, i.e. "Bismillaahi Ar-rahmaani Ar-raheem", at the beginning of the chapter or where one starts. One should stop recitation when yawning, because a reciter is addressing his Lord and yawning is from Satan. One should not interrupt his recitation in order to talk to people except in cases of dire need.

Etiquette of Listening to the Quran

There are some etiquettes pertaining to listening to the Quran as there are etiquettes for reciting it. A Muslim should listen attentively to the Quran, with humbleness, and ponder upon the meanings as Allaah Say (what means):

The Merits of the Glorious Quran

The Glorious Quran has numerous, unparalleled merits. It is the word of Allaah sent down from Heaven to earth. Many verses refer to the merits of the Glorious Quran such as:

"And verily, it is an honorable respected Book (because it is Allaah's Speech, and He has protected it from corruption, etc.). Falsehood cannot come to it from before it or behind it (it is) sent down by the All-Wise, Worthy of all praise (Allaah)." [Quran: 41:41-42]

In addition to the above verses, there are many Hadeeths that indicate the merit of the Glorious Quran, as well as applying its teachings and reciting it. The Prophet, sallallaahu álayhi wa sallam, said: "Recite the Quran, for on the Day of Resurrection, it will come as an intercessor for those who recite it." (Muslim)

We can get physical as will as spiritual guidance from it me not Only live a good life here but also can have better life later.

In short, the Holy Quran is not only for an individual or nation but also for the whole universe. It is for everyone. It is for believers. It can bring revolution in man’s life. It judges the mankind on the basis of good deeds.

May Allah increase our knowledge of Islam and grant us the best life -- of being true Muslims forever. 

May allah accept our all  good deeds .AmeenAmeen ya rabbal alameen
