The Almighty says, “It is a Book We have sent down to you, full of blessings, so let people of intelligence ponder its Signs” ((38:29)) and ‘Will they not then ponder the Qur’an or are there locks upon their hearts?” (47:24) Therefore it is obligatory for anyone chose by Allah to memo rise His Book to have proper respect for it, reflect on the truth of its words, understand its marvels and clarify what is unusual in it. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “The Qur’ an is an argument for you or against you.” ((Muslim))
If someone is given knowledge of the Qur’ an and does not benefit from it, is not constrained by its prohibitions and is not deterred by it and commits ugly sins and vile crimes, the Qur’ an is an argument against him. Allah Almighty said, “In this way We have made you a middlemost community, so that you may act as witnesses against mankind.” ((2:143)) The argument is against the one who knows it and neglects it, more than against the one who is lacking in it and ignorant of it. He has taken on the burdens of the Messengers and has become a wit ness in the Rising against the opponents among the people of other religions. They asked, “Who are they, Messenger of Allah?” He replied, “They are the people of the Qur’an, the people of Allah and His elite.” ((Ibn Majah and Abu Bakr al-Bazzar))Īnyone who knows the Book of Allah and remembers what has been explained to him in it should be restrained by its prohibitions and fear Allah, be mindful of Him and be ashamed before Him. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Allah has placed two kinds of people among us.” They are the khalifs of His Prophets and His trustees, who are His people, elite and chosen ones. So those who recite the Qur’an bear a concealed secret of Allah and guard His preserved knowledge. The Almighty says, ”We have not omitted anything from the Book.” (6:38) He addresses it to His friends and they understand, and He explains to them what He means in it and they know it. In it, He repeats admonitions and stories for under standing and different types of metaphors and reports about matters of the Unseen. In it, He explains the obligatory judgments and differentiates the lawful and unlawful. He made its examples lesson for those who reflect on them and His commands guidance for those who study them. They cannot bring its like, even if they help one another. He sent him with the Clear Book which distinguishes between doubt and certainty which eloquent men cannot oppose and intelligent men cannot contradict.
I testify that there is no god but Allah alone with no partner, the Lord who is One and Self-Sustaining, the Living, Self-Subsistent who does not die, the Master of Majesty and Nobility and immense gifts, He who has spoken the Qur’an, He who created the human being and blessed him with faith and sent His Messenger Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, with the clarification. Praise belongs to Allah who began by praising Himself before any praiser praised Him! We seek His help and may Allah bless our master Muhammad and his family and Companions and grant them abundant peace. In the Name of Allah, the All-Merciful, Most Merciful
