The Qur’an is the Greatest Miracle

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya Sadat As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Dastur Mawlana Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Daghestani, Sheikh Nazim al-Haqqani.

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ says:

“The best amongst you is the one who learns the Qur’an and teaches it.” The best among you is the one who learns and teaches Qur’an. The Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan was sent to us by Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla as the greatest miracle of our Holy Prophet. It is the descended firm word of Allah ﷻ. There is no greater, no more useful book in this world. It is a gift of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla to us. People, Muslims should know its value. Whoever reads it receives all kinds of benefits. Thawab is written for every letter. Not for every word but for every letter. It is such a holy thing. Therefore, to read one Juz every day is a duty in our daily practice. Normal people can read as well. However, when it is not an obligation, they don’t pursue it much. They say they don’t know how to read it. Even if not one Juz, those who are learning should read at least a page. The more you read, the more it will open for you and your heart will be opened with the permission of Allah ﷻ. There is benefit for your ancestors, for you and your descendants in it both physically and spiritually. This is what our Holy Prophet ﷺ teaches us.

Those who cannot read Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan, can read in its transliteration. However, it is better to read in original Arabic. Some people may be old and cannot learn. They can read the transliteration that is in different characters which is better than nothing. They can read the Arabic text but in Latin or any other characters. There are so many languages and characters that Allah ﷻ has taught people. It is allowed to read Qur’an in those characters without changing its pronunciation. But it doesn’t bring any benefit to read the translation in English, Turkish, French or Chinese. It will not be counted as reading Qur’an. You may read to understand the word of Allah ﷻ. But it won’t be equal to reading the Qur’an. You cannot pray like that as well. You must do them all in Arabic. It is best for Muslims to learn and teach. As we said, Allah ﷻ doesn’t want hardship. But He created us differently. Some may not be able to learn at all. It is ok for them to read the transliteration, which is of Arabic pronunciation, in their language.

Shaytan messes with people’s minds by saying, “Why are you reading without understanding? Why are you doing that without understanding?” Subhan’Allah, even those who don’t know Arabic at all learn the Qur’an by heart and recite it fluently. Even without understanding its meaning, Allah ﷻ is giving it to their hearts that they learn this vast Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan by heart and recite it without mistakes. May Allah ﷻ not lessen its blessings. May we be from the people of Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan insha’Allah. It is good to learn it by heart. When you learn by heart, do not forget it. Always keep it. Always turn back to check and repeat it in order not to forget. May its blessings be upon us insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
