7 Reasons to Read the Glorious Qur'an 1. Inimitable It dares
you to disprove it. How? It says that humans cannot write a book like
this even if they pooled all their resources together and got help also
from the spirits. The Qur'an said this fourteen hundred years ago and
yet no one has been able to disprove it. BiIIions of books have been
written -but not another one like the Qur'an.
2.
Incorruptible It is the only religious sacred writing that has been in
circulation for such along time and yet remains as pure as it was in
the beginning. The Qur'an was kept intact. Nothing was added to it;
nothing was changed in it; and nothing was taken away from it ever
since its revelation was completed 1400 hundred years ago.
3.
Unsurpassable The Qur'an is God's final revelation to humankind. God
revealed the Torah to Moses, the Psalms to David, the Gospel to Jesus,
and finally the Qur'an to Muhammad. Peace be upon Moses, David, Jesus
and Muhammad. No other book will come from God to surpass His final
revelation.
4. Indisputable The Qur'an withstands the test of
time and scrutiny. No one can disput the truth of this book. It speaks
about past history and turns out right. It speaks about the future in
prophecies and it turns out right. It mentions details of physical
phenomena which were not known to people at the time; yet later
scientific discoveries prove that the Qur'an was right all along. Every
other book needs to be revised to accord with modem knowledge. The
Qur'an alone is never contradicted by a newly discovered scientific
fact.
5. Your Roadmap for Life and Afterlife The Qur'an is
the best guidebook on how to structure your life. No other book
presents such a comprehensive system involving all aspects of human
life and endeavor. The Qur'an also points out the way to secure
everlasting happiness in the afterlife. It is your roadmap showing how
to get to Paradise.
6. God's Gift of Guidance God has not
left you alone. You were made for a reason. God tells you why he made
you, what he demands from you and what he has in store for you. If you
operate a machine contrary to- it's manufacturer's specification you
will ruin 'that machine. What. about you? Do you have an owner's manual
for yourself? The Qur'an is from your Maker. It is a gift for you to
make sure you function for success, lest you fail to function. It is a
healing from God. It satisfies the soul, and cleans the heart. It
removes doubts and brings peace.
7.Your Calling Card to
Communicate with your Lord Humans are social creatures. We love to
communicate with other intelligent life. The Qur'an tells us how to
communicate .with the source of all intelligence and the source of all
life-the One God. The Qur'an tells us who God is, by what name we
should address Him, and the way in which to communicate with Him. Are
these not seven sufficient points for reading the Qur'an?
