THE FINAL REMINDER: Ponder Over The Quran

Assalaamu Alaikum!

MashaAllah...it's very great to be a part of this.

And in sha Allah I wish to share with you in the next few episodes my favourite verses of the Quran.

That is a very very interesting question!

The reason is...everyone knows that as Mulimeen the favourite book of every Muslim is the Quran!

And if it isn't, it's supposed to be.

Some people don't have the knowledge of the Quran and for that reason they distance themselves from the Quran.

However, to be very honest with you, my favourite book ever is the Quran!

And it's because I've read it.

It's because I've have tried my best to understand it!

It's because, every single day, I try to look into the meanings of the Quran and how they apply to me in my life.

Every single day I try to open the Quran and find peace in it!

And I do!

And subahanAllah we learn and continue learning.

If we take a look at the question...now that we know which is supposed to be the favourite book for every Muslim.

Let's ask, 'which is the favourite verse?'

Well I can answer that question for myself.

I have many favourite verses.

All the verses that are connected to, 'why Allah (subḥāanahu wa ta'āla) revealed the Quran, I really find intrigue in them.

I find them to really really on a different level!

When I see the reason why Allah revealed the Quran or some of the secrets of the Quran, or that Allah (subḥāanahu wa ta'āla) is encouraging us to do something regarding the Quran...Amazingly!!

I find those verses really really powerful!!

Let me take you through one these such verses.

In Surat Sa'ad, Allah says, 'A book, a book...' subahanAllah!

'A book that We have revealed, a book that We have revealed'

This is what Allah (subḥāanahu wa ta'āla) is saying, 'blessed' -- 'mubaarakun'

'Blessed' - the book is blessed

So, it is the most blessed book in existence because it's the word of Allah (subḥāanahu wa ta'āla)

Imagine!

People are looking for blessings in everything else, SubahaanAllah the word of Allah (subḥāanahu wa ta'āla) has great blessings!

He says it is a book, a book in which there are great blessings or a book that is blessed!

Mubaarakun!

'In order that they, in order that they do something known as...tadabbur.'

'Tadabbur' is deep pondering!

Deep reflection!

You know, deep rooted pondering over its verses!

So Allah is telling us, 'A book that We have revealed blessed in order that they ponder very deeply over its verses.'

'And for it to act as a reminder or for those to take heed who are of sound intellect.'

So...Amazing!

If you have sound intellect what would happen?

You would realize the blessed book!

And you would want to learn what is in it.

So this is how we would achieve the closeness to Allah, our Maker (subḥāanahu wa ta'āla)!

And this how we will become people who know that their link with their Maker is what will take them to Paradise.

How can I expect to enter Paradise when I don't have a link with the Owner of Paradise?

That Owner of Paradise has His words in our midst!

And those words are in the form of the Quran.

And He is telling us so many times, 'Ponder over the verses of Quran.'

This to me is one of the favourite verses if not the most favourite verse.

No verse is in the Quran just without purpose!

There is a purpose for every single verse.

And it's important for us to know that unless we go to ponder very deeply over the verses of the Quran we will not be able to achieve the blessings of Allah Subḥānahuwata'āla, the comfort, the peace, the happiness!

And perhaps we might lose out when it comes to the hereafter.

We don't want to lose out.

These are amazing words that are used in the Quran.

So, in sha Allah we meet again.

Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaathuhu
