Read Holy Quran with deep devotion
The holy Quran is a Divine Book revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (SM) for mankind. Allah completed the revelation in 23 years through the Holy Spirit Jibreel. Allah began to reveal the verses of the Quran in 610 A.D. The first five verses are:-
1. Read in the name of thy Lord Who creates,
2. Creates man from a clot.
3. Read and thy Lord is the most Bounteous,
4. Who teaches by the pen,
5. Teaches man what he knew not.
There are 114 Surah and 6236 verses. Of the Surah, 92 were revealed in Mecca and 22 in Madina. The verses are of different classes and categories. Some verses are explicit, some are implicit, some are simple, some are allegorical, some relate to history and some are advisory.
The holy Quran deals with every human faculty, individual, family, social, economical, political and spiritual life. It defines man’s relations with Allah, Angels, Prophets and another man. Some verses elucidate the position of Hazrat Muhammad (SM), Seal of the Prophets, other prophets and the necessity of ethics and morality to fight indecency, evil and vice. For salvation in the Hereafter, we must study the Quran with deep attention and from the core of the heart, and its explanatory notes.
The Prophet said, the Quran enters the heart of a man as much as it (heart) is pure. On another occasions, he said: The volumes of its mystic are so vast that can’t be contained even by the backs of 70 camels.
