The Holy Qur\u2019an is the Word of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta\u2018ala). It is the Book of guidance
for all mankind till the Day of Judgement. The Holy Qur\u2019an was revealed by Allah
(Subhanahu wa Ta\u2018ala) to Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu \u2018alaihi wa Sallam) through
angel Jibreel (\u2018Alaihissalam). It was first revealed in the month of Ramadan. Allah
(Subhanahu wa Ta\u2018ala) had also revealed three more Books called Tawrat to Nabi Musa
(\u2018Alaihissalam), Zabur to Nabi Dawud (\u2018Alaihissalam) and Injil to Nabi Isa
(\u2018Alaihissalam).
The Qur\u2019an has 114 surahs (chapters) altogether. The surahs which were revealed in
Makkah over a period of 13 years are called Makki surahs while the surahs which were
revealed in Madinah over a period of 10 years are known as Madani surahs. The Qur\u2019an
has 6236 ayahs or verses. It also has 30 juz (parts) in it. There are 14 places in the
Qur\u2019an where we do a sajdah. The Qur\u2019an teaches about Allah\u2019s Message. The Qur\u2019an
teaches Muslims about respect. It also explains about Islam. The language of the Qur\u2019an
is sweet.
The first surah of the Qur\u2019an is Surah al-Fatiha. Its translation is:
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
All praise is to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
The Beneficent, the Merciful.
Owner of the Day of Judgement.
You only do we worship, and You only do we beg for help.
Guide us on the Straight Path.
The path of those whom You have favoured;
not (the path) of those on whom is (Your) anger,
nor of those who go astray. (1:1-7)
The last surah of the Qur\u2019an is Surah an-Naas. The most beautiful Names of Allah, the
Asma al-Husna are mentioned in the Qur\u2019an. The Qur\u2019an has many different names such
as al-Kitab (the Book), al-Furqan (the Criterion of Judgement), Majeed (Glorious) and
Karim (Honourable). The Qur\u2019an is in the Arabic language. It has been translated in all
the other major languages.
If you act according to the Qur\u2019an you will live a happy life. When you hold the Qur\u2019an
you should be careful because it might drop and some of your good deeds will be erased.
We all should recite the whole Qur\u2019an especially for those who have passed away, so
Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta\u2018ala) could forgive them. The Qur\u2019an tells us about Heaven and
Hell. The Qur\u2019an is the way of life for everybody. The Qur\u2019an will keep you safe. Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta\u2018ala) revealed the Qur\u2019an, so Muslims could know more about Islam.
The Qur\u2019an teaches the spiritual truth of Islam. The Commands in the Qur\u2019an are Allah\u2019s
Commands. The Qur\u2019an teaches elders to love children. It also teaches children to respect
elders. The Qur\u2019an teaches us about what is halal (permitted) and haram (prohibited).
The Qur\u2019an answers all the questions about life. The Qur\u2019an has everything we need to
know.
The Qur\u2019an has been guiding the destiny of mankind. The Qur\u2019an is more precious than
life. The Qur\u2019an is the path of life. The Qur\u2019an also takes us along the right path. The
Qur\u2019an is a great noble Book. Some Muslims learn the whole Qur\u2019an by heart. Men and
boys who have memorized the whole Qur\u2019an are called Hafiz ul-Qur\u2019an. Women and
girls who have memorized the whole Qur\u2019an are called Hafiza al-Qur\u2019an. It is preserved
through memory as well as writing. It was written down from the very beginning that
Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta\u2018ala) has given His Protection to it. It will always be preserved.
It is the last and final Book sent by Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta\u2018ala). It tells us how to serve
and worship Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta\u2018ala). It tells us how to live a life of virtue. It tells us
how to behave in our homes, like how to treat our parents, brothers and sisters, relatives
and friends, neighbours and strangers.
We should try to recite a minimum of one juz of the Qur\u2019an everyday. Prophet
Muhammad (Sallallahu \u2018alaihi wa Sallam) said that \u201ca person who doesn’t recite the
Qur\u2019an is like a ruined house.\u201d Even if a person is not able to understand the Qur\u2019an but
he can recite it, he will get thawaab (heavenly reward).
The verses which were revealed to Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu \u2018alahi wa Sallam),
were recorded. There were also some Sahaba (Companions) who had memorized the
whole Qur\u2019an, but many of them were martyred in battle. During his Khilafah, Sayyidina
Abu Bakr Siddiq (Rady Allahu \u2018Anhu) said that all these verses should be gathered and
he had the Holy Qur\u2019an compiled. Later, during the Khilafah of Sayyidina Uthman (Rady
Allahu \u2018Anhu), people in Iraq, Syria and Egypt were reciting the Qur\u2019an with some
differences in pronunciation. Therefore, Sayyidina Uthman (Rady Allahu \u2018Anhu) had
standard copies of the Qur\u2019an produced and sent them to those countries along with a
Qaari (reciter). And even today, all Muslims whether they live in Egypt or India or
Afghanistan, they all recite the same standard Qur\u2019an. This service of Sayyidina Uthman
(Rady Allahu \u2018Anhu) has helped preserve the Qur\u2019an in the way it was revealed.
Before we recite the Qur\u2019an or a Surah we should say Bismillah -ir- Rahman ir-Rahim
(In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful). We should try to
understand what is in the Qur\u2019an and act according to it. We should put the Qur\u2019an in a
clean spot and put it on top of everything. Every Muslim should know how to recite the
Qur\u2019an. We could make Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta\u2018ala) happy by completing the recitation
of the Qur\u2019an. We could make Him happier by memorizing the whole Qur\u2019an. More
people have memorized the Qur\u2019an than any other book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
