Essence Of Quran
INDEX
Qur’an Is A Word Of Allah
And It Will Be Alive Till The End Of Times. It has an essence and spirit which when taken properly, has the potential to change the world. This is what happened with the companions of the Prophet SAW and early Muslims; they perceived Qur’an as a living breathing message from Allah and molded their lives in its essence and the result was a spiritual feat for the world.
Qur’an Is So Much More Than
Laws And Commands Of Do’s And Don’ts... Allah Sent Qur’an With Profound Essence. The More We Analyze It The More We Realize Its Depth... 
In Order To Truly Benefit From Qur’an,
We Need To Know Its Essence And How To Read It. Here I will reiterate the ten elements from the essence of Qur’an that a scholar has compiled.
Once We Know The Essence Of Qur’an
And The Purpose Of Its Revelation, It Has To Have Implications. We are not living the revelation of the Qur’an according to situations, neither do we have Prophet SAW to chart out for us our course of action. But this knowledge is preserved and the preserver of this knowledge Allah SWT knew that we will be here at this time in current circumstances and since He sent the Qur’an till the end of times, we have no choice but to know that it is just as applicable to us as it was to the companions.
It Is A Very Individual And Personal Struggle
On How I Can Relate To Qur’an And Have It Relevant To Me; Qur’an Holds All Our Situations And Personalities... We can find in it on how to behave as a mother, father, child, if we are rich, poor, sinner, knowledgeable, if we have an accident or sickness or we have been appointed in charge of a task or other people.
The First Prerequisite Of Personalizing Qur’an To Us Is
Absolute Humbleness To Allah... The more we are poor to Allah and realize that we don’t know anything and need Him SWT and His message to guide us, the more our vision will change and we will get in-depth understanding of the Qur’an.
The Second Prerequisite Is Acquisition Of Authentic Knowledge
And Understanding Of Qur’an From Early Scholars And Submitting To It, Instead Of Relying On Our Own Personal And Often Corrupted Understanding! Once we realize the essence of the Qur’an we can’t help but saying Alhamdulillah for the Imaan, salah and the bounty of dhikrullah (remembrance of Allah). Quran Chapter 10 Surah Yunus  O mankind! there hath come to you a direction from your Lord and a healing for the (diseases) in your hearts,- and for those who believe, a guidance and a Mercy. [Verse:57] Once the hearts are cured, our salaah—the source of communication with the Lord will be less distracted and more meaningful, thus elevating the level of the believer.
Qur’an Teaches Us To Thank Allah
And To Realize His Unlimited Bounties On Us. We, as humans, tend to be ingrate and forgetful, therefore Allah SWT is reminding us to be watchful of such mistake since bounties of the Lord are increased for the slave when he is grateful for what he has: Quran Chapter 14 Surah Ibrahim  And remember! your Lord caused to be declared (publicly): "If ye are grateful, I will add more (favours) unto you; But if ye show ingratitude, truly My punishment is terrible indeed." [Verse:7]  Quran Chapter 2 Surah Al Baqarah  Then do ye remember Me; I will remember you. Be grateful to Me, and reject not Faith. [Verse:152]
Allah Has Given Scenarios And Promises In Qur’an
That Curb These Extremities By Providing Hope And Announcing Punishments. Prophet SAW affirmed one of these promises of Allah SWT of mercy in the following ahadeeth: HADITH [SAHIH MUSLIM] The Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “There is no day on which Allah frees more of His slaves from Fire than the Day of Arafat, and He verily draws near, then boasts of them before the angles, saying: ‘What do they seek?” (Sahih Muslim). And in another hadith: “Verily Allah boasts of the people of Arafat before the people of Heaven (angels) saying: ‘Look to my servants who have come to Me disheveled and dusty.’” Allah SWT called himself Ar-Rahman in the Qur’an. He SWT is testifying of his mercy and promising His slaves His kindness. In one Hadeeth Qudsi, Allah SWT says: "O son of Adam, as long as you call upon Me and put your hope in Me, I have forgiven you for what you have done and I do not mind. O son of Adam, if your sins were to reach the clouds of the sky and then you would seek My forgiveness, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, if you were to come to Me with sins that are close to filling the earth and then you would meet Me without ascribing any partners with Me, I would certainly bring to you forgiveness close to filling it." Quran Chapter 39 Surah Az Zumar  Say: "O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah. for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [Verse:53]
How Can We Suffer From Depression, Anxiety,
Or Emotional And Mental Disorders If We Truly Have The Essence Of Qur’an Which Is Full Of Promises Of Allah’s Mercy, Kindness, And Hope? How Can We Be Lost And Aimless In Our Lives If The Qur’an Has Charted Out The Purpose Of Our Lives Clearly For Us? How can we not be grateful when Allah SWT has chosen for us to be among those blessed ones who have heard His message and responded to the call when majority of humanity is living in illusion and loss? How can we not love Allah SWT after all He has given us of forgiveness and promises of hearing our prayers? Quran Chapter 7 Surah Al Araf  The most beautiful names belong to Allah. so call on him by them. [Verse:180] Quran Chapter 2 Surah Al Baqarah  When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: Let them also, with a will, Listen to My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way. [Verse:186]
This Life Is A Constant Struggle...
Struggle Towards Hereafter Versus Duniya,
Struggle To Spend In The Way Of Allah Versus Collecting Wealth, Struggle To Spend Your Life For The Sake Of Allah Versus Your Own Desires And Nafs. And we will never win this struggle unless the essence of Qur’an becomes the essence of our souls and we learn to extract messages for our life’s circumstances and situations from the word of Allah.
Quran Enables Us To Reflect
Internally And Externally, Reflect On The Larger World Affairs, And Enables Us To Act Or React According To This Reflection Guided By The Meaning And Wisdom Of The Quran. The more we know and manifest this knowledge in ourselves, the more it enables us to pursue the promises of Allah: the happiness and dignity of this life and the hereafter.
Qur’an Is A Mirror Which Will Allow You
To See Yourself And The Outside World With A Clear Accurate Vision.
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW
WHO YOU ARE, WHERE YOU ARE, WHAT TO DO AND WHAT NOT TO DO, AND WHERE TO HEAD IN YOUR LIFE READ QUR’AN!  Daee Ahmed Moait
