Peace be upon you.
Peace be on you…..
TRANSFORMATIONS ACHIEVED BY PRACTICING THE TEACHING OF QURAN E KARIM
Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) is telling about miracles, he says:
‘The second miracle of the Holy Quran, which we can perceive and witness in our own time, is the marvelous transformation of the Companions of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.), through their submission to the Holy Quran and under the influence of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.)’s companionship. When we look at the kind of people they were and how they behaved before they accepted Islam, and how they were transformed by the company of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) and by submission to the Holy Quran, and how, in respect of their morals, their beliefs, their behavior, their demeanor, their conduct, and all their practices, they rid themselves of their evil conditions and entered into a pure and immaculate state; and when we look at the wonderful influence which brought a strange light and radiance to their rusty beings, we have to concede that this change was indeed miraculous and it was brought about specially by the Hand of God.’ [Three Questions by a Christian, page 33]
‘It is evident to every fair-minded person how much the very same ignorant, wild, vain and wicked-natured people changed after coming into Islam and accepting the Quran. This was because of the effects of the Word of God and the company of the pure Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be on him) which instantly so transformed their hearts in a very short time that after ignorance they were endowed with religious knowledge……. Forsaking love of the world, they were so absorbed in Divine love that they willingly abandoned their homelands, wealth, dear ones, honours and comforts of lives to attain the pleasure of Allah the Exalted. Therefore, both these phases of their earlier life and new life which they attained after Islam are so clearly mentioned in the Holy Qur’an that a pious person is spontaneously moved to tears when reading these. Thus what was it that so rapidly attracted them from one world to another world!
There were only two reasons; one was that the pure Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) was tremendously effective in his power of holiness, the like of which there never was and there never will be! Secondly, it was the tremendous and wondrous effects of the pure Word of the Omnipotent, the Living, the Self-Subsisting and All-Sustaining God. They brought a large number of people out of immense darkness into light. Without doubt, these Quranic effects are extraordinary because no one can give an example in the world of another book having such effect! Who can give proof that another book brought about as amazing a change and reformation as the Holy Qur’an did!.................It is the experience of hundreds of thousands of holy people that after following the Holy Qur’an Divine blessings descend on heart and one develops an amazing graft with Noble Lord. Lights and revelation of God the Exalted are revealed to their hearts and wisdom and points of knowledge are uttered by their mouths. They are granted a strong trust in Allah and they are granted an established certainty. And a delighted Divine love, which is nurtured by delight of Meeting, is placed in their hearts. If their beings were to be pounded in severe misfortunes and were wrung through tough clamps, their sap extracted would be nothing but Divine love.’ [Surma Chashm Ariya, Ruhani Khazain, Vol. 2, pages 77-79]
DIVINE LOVE FOR PEOPLE WHO PONDER OVER HOLY QURAN AND ADORE HOLY PROPHET (S.A.W.)
‘The world is unaware of them and they are very distant and higher than worldliness. God’s treatment of them is extraordinary. It is proved to them that God exists. It is disclosed to them that there is One Who listens when they pray; when they pray He listens; when they call out He answers them; when they seek refuge He runs to them. He loves to them, greater than fathers, and He showers blessings on their abodes. Thus they can be identified through His apparent, hidden, spiritual and physical supports. And He helps them in every field because they are His and He is theirs. These matters are not without proof.’ [Surma Chashm Ariya, Ruhani Khazain, Vol. 2, page 79]
TODAY MERE ACCEPTANCE OF HOLY QURAN IS NOT ENOUGH, PRACTICE IS REQURIED FOR SUCCESS
‘The reality is that as long as Muslims are not fully observant and adherent of what Allah the Exalted has taught in the Holy Qur’an they cannot attain any kind of success. The further they go from the Holy Qur’an the further they become from degrees and paths of success. Practicing the Holy Qur’an alone is the source of progress and guidance.’
ADVICE TO JAMA'AT
‘Be alert all the time and do not take a single step contrary to Divine teaching and the guidance of the Qur’an. I tell you truly that anyone who evades the least one of the 700 commandments of the Qur’an, shuts upon himself the door of salvation. The ways of true and perfect salvation have been opened by the Qur’an and all the rest is its reflection. Therefore, study the Qur’an with care and hold it very dear with a love that you have not for anything else. As God has said to me: ‘All good is contained in the Qur’an’. This is wholly true. Those people are to be pitied who prefer anything else to it. The fountainhead of all your prosperity and salvation is the Holy Qur’an. There is no religious need of yours which is not filled by the Qur’an. On the Day of Judgment, the Qur’an will confirm or deny your faith’.
QURAN WILL CONFIRM OR DENY THE STATE OF ONE’S FAITH
‘There is no other book under heavens except the Qur’an which can furnish you with salvation without the agency of Holy Quran. God has been very Beneficent towards you that He has bestowed a Book like the Qur’an upon you. I tell you very truly that if the Book that is recited to you had been recited to the Christians, they would not have perished. If this bounty and guidance which has been bestowed upon you had been bestowed upon the Jews in place of the Torah, some of their sects would not have denied the Day of Judgment. Thus value this favour that has been bestowed upon you. It is a very dear favour; it is great wealth. If the Qur’an had not been revealed the whole world would have been left like a dirty lump of flesh. The Qur’an is the Book in contrast with which all other guidance amounts to nothing. [Kashti Nuh, Ruhani Khaza’in, Vol. 19, pages 26-27]
SIGNIFICANCE OF HOLY QURAN
‘The Holy Qur’an is a pure Book which came in the world at a time when immense disorder had spread and many wrong creeds and erroneous practices had become customary and almost all people were embroiled in immoral practices and creeds. Allah the Exalted indicates to this in the Holy Qur’an: ‘Corruption has appeared on land and sea…’(30:42) That is, all people, be it people of the Book or be it others, all of them were embroiled in immoral creeds and great disorder was perpetrated in the world. Thus, Allah the Exalted sent a perfect Book like the Holy Qur’an for guidance and to refute all false creeds. It has the refutation of all false religions especially in Surah Al Fatihah, which is read five times a day in every unit of every Salat, complete guidance is indicated.’
FULFILLMENT OF PROMISES OF SUCCESS BY HOLY QURAN FOR HOLY PROPHET (S.A.W.)
‘The promises of success which God the Omnipotent gave by the perfect Glory of His Divinity to that humble, weak, poor, powerless, unlearned, unknowledged, untrained one against all world, all opponents, all enemies, all deniers, all the wealthy, all powerfuls, all kings, all wises, all philosophers, all followers of religions – can anyone from believers and seekers of truth doubt that, all these promises which are fulfilled at their times and are being fulfilled, this can be work of any human !’ [Brahin-e-Ahmadiyya, Ruhani Khaza’in, Vol. 1 pages 266-267, note 11]
HOW HOLY QURAN SHOULD BE READ
A person asked how the Holy Qur’an should be recited. Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) answered:
‘The Holy Qur’an should be read with pondering and attention. Hadith relates “rubba qarin yal-anohul quranno” i.e.t there are many reciters of the Holy Qur’an who are cursed by the Holy Qur’an. A person who reads the Qur’an but does not practice it is cursed by the Holy Qur’an. When reciting the Holy Qur’an one comes to a verse about blessing, blessing should be sought from God the Exalted and when chastisement of a people is mentioned, refuge should be sought from God the Exalted from God the Exalted’s chastisement. The Qur’an should be read with due care and attention and it should be practiced on.’ [Malfuzat, Vol. 5, page 157]
