In fact, when carried out with sincere intention, studying the Word of God and teaching it to others is considered one of the greatest acts of worship in Islam.
Its wonders are endless”.Īnd because the Qur’an is the highest code for Muslims in everything relating to their spiritual, religious, ethical, social and legal matters, they have been strongly prompted to study and teach it. It is God’s firm Rope, the Wise Remembrance and the Straight Path. Whoever seeks guidance in other than it, Allah will send him astray. 2 In another tradition, Imam ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib also reported that the Prophet said: “ The Book of Allah contains the narrations of nations that have come before you and the news of nations that will come after you as it is the ultimate judgment between you. In one of these traditions he is reported to have said at the farewell pilgrimage ( Hajjat al-Wada‘), at the end of his sermon: “I have left with you two things which, if you were to adhere to them, you will never err: the Book of Allah and my practice”. This same firm conviction is also reiterated in many traditions of the Prophet of Islam, God’s blessings and peace be upon him. This is echoed time and again in the Glorious Qur’an itself: ( The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’ an, a guidance for mankind, and a clear proof of the guidance and the Criterion ( of right and wrong)…), ( And We reveal of the Qur’ an that which is healing and a mercy for believers…), ( Lo! This Qur’an guideth unto that which is straightest…). The firm idea that the Qur’an is Islam’s normative text is not a belated conclusion that Muslim apologetics had awoken to or accredited their sacred Book with late in history. 1 Everything that is Islamic has its origin in or takes inspiration from the Qur’an, whether it is a question of norms of daily life, tenets of faith, law or spirituality. It is the ultimate and uncontested authority in the worldview of Islam which decides truth from falsehood and right from wrong.
The Qur’an is the heart and soul of Islam.
