The answers to all our questions about life are in the Noble book of Allaah (i.e., The Qur’an) Allah - the Most High – Says (what means): [This is] a blessed Book (the Qur’an) which We have revealed to you [O Muhammad], that they may ponder over its Verses, and that men of understanding may remember. [Sad 38:29] And Allah - the Most High – Says (what means): Indeed, those who recite the Book of Allah (the Quran) and establish prayer and spend [in His cause] out of what We have provided them, secretly and publicly, [can] expect a transaction [i.e. profit] that will never perish. That He may give them in full their rewards and increase for them of His bounty. Indeed, He is Forgiving and Appreciative. [Al-Mala’ikah 35:29-30] The Qur’an is a book detailing the glory of Allaah and the wonder of His creation; it is also a testament to His Mercy and Justice. It is not a history book, a storybook, or a scientific textbook, although it does contain all of those genres and more. The Quran is Allaah’s greatest gift to humanity – it is a book like no other, for it contains the answers to the mysteries of life. It answers the questions and asks us to look beyond materialism and see that this life is little more than a transient stop on the way to everlasting life. Islam gives a clear aim and purpose to life. Do not think that you are better than Allahs Messenger Muhammad, peace be upon him, who was watching a whole single night meditating one verse: If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily You, only You, are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. [Al Mai’dah 5:118] What about the Qur’an??? What about the Ahadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)??? How many times we thought to allot even an hour to meditate one verse of Allahs verses??? How can anyone prefer the words of man to the words of Allaah, may He be exalted!! How can anyone think that something other than Qur’an are better for his heart and soul than the words of Allaah, may He be exalted, and the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)??? Remember – may Allaah guide us and enlighten us – that the Qur’aan of the Most Merciful and the recitation of the Shaytaan (namely songs and other man made distracting things) cannot be joined together in the heart of the believer. As here Allah, May He be glorified, says (interpretation of the meaning): And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing, etc.) to mislead (men) from the Path of Allah without knowledge, and takes it (the Path of Allah, the Verses of the Qur’an) by way of mockery. For such there will be a humiliating torment (in the Hell-fire). [Luqman 31:6] Furthermore Allah, May He be glorified, says (interpretation of the meaning): ”But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Quran nor acts on its teachings, orders, etc.) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and we shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection.” He will say: O my Lord! Why have you raised me up blind, while I had sight (before).” (Allah) will say: Like this, Our Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) came unto you, but you disregarded them (i.e. you left them, did not think deeply in them, and you turned away from them), and so this Day, you will be neglected (in the Hell-fire, away from Allah’s Mercy). [Taha 20:124-126] Allah, May He be glorified, tells us of the means of attaining peace of mind, as He says (interpretation of the meaning): “Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.” [Ar-Ra ‘d 13:28] That is the peace and tranquility of Islam, after each obedience to Allah The Almighty your heart will be filled up with joy and happiness, your face will be shining just like a dazzling star, and you will feel comfort and peace in your inner soul. It’s light of obedience that Allah The Almighty has filled the heart and face of his righteous servants. Al-Hassan was asked: How is it that those who stay up at night have the most attractive faces? He [may Allah have mercy upon him] replied, Because they are on intimate terms with The Merciful, and He adorns them with some of His light.
