Five Powerful Reasons to Study the Quran Seriously 📖

By Prof. Dr Musharraf Hussain

If you aren’t a serious student of the Quran yet, I invite you to study the Quran seriously now. How can you afford to waste precious time? And how can you neglect your Creator and Sustainer? Or how can you be so shallow? The reading of The Majestic Quran will give you a purpose and make you devout and deeply thoughtful.

1. The Quran teaches you to live a purposeful life

As the representatives of Allah on earth, life takes on significant meaning: to worship the Lord and appreciate and value the gifts and bounties that He has blessed us with. The aim is to live a good life that pleases the Lord and be able to live in His proximity in heaven in the hereafter. So, human life is a journey on earth, a probationary period of doing good that then entitles us to Divine proximity in paradise and the beatific vision in the hereafter.

2. The Quran reasons using examples from nature

The intricate and complex mathematical design of the material and living world is so accurate that it’s impossible to argue there’s no designer. The Big Bang theory explains what happened at the beginning of the universe, and discoveries in astronomy show beyond doubt that the universe did in fact have a beginning. Prior to that moment, there was nothing; during and after that moment, there was something, our universe. In other words, the universe was created; who caused the Big Bang? Who was ‘the first cause?’ That was Allah, the magnificent creator.

3. The Quran provides guidance for strong character

A major objective of Islamic teachings and preaching is to help people develop strong character, which is reflected in their lives as kindness, generosity, patience, and forgiveness. The aim is to produce good citizens capable of distinguishing right from wrong and who are capable of doing the right things.

4. The Quran is Allah’s authentic word

The Quran has remained unchanged for more than 14 centuries. Its authenticity and accuracy are proved beyond doubt; there are millions of Huffaz. People who have memorised the entire Quran from cover to cover. Its inimitable style, powerful rhetoric and challenging questions are evidence of its divine nature.

5. The Quran inspires faith and devotion to the Creator

Islamic teachings brought about a massive change in human history, it taught people to use reason, logic and observations. Three foundations of scientific and empirical methods. That’s why Muslims are the founders of modern science. Similarly, it revolutionised other fields of human endeavour. Justice and human brotherhood in politics, kindness and forgiveness in society. Islam preached equality of all races, the brotherhood of man; it stood up for the oppressed and the needy and vulnerable in society.

Conclusion

The Quran is far more than a book to be read; it is a divine guide to be studied, understood and lived. It gives our lives purpose, strengthens our faith, shapes our character and deepens our relationship with Allah. In a world filled with distractions, its wisdom offers clarity, direction and peace.

The question is not whether we have time to study the Quran, but whether we can afford not to. Make a sincere commitment today to engage with its message, reflect upon its teachings and put them into practice. Let The Majestic Quran be your companion on this life-changing journey towards a more meaningful, fulfilling and God-conscious life.
