The Holy Quran (1) - The Most Perfect Book…

Unfortunate are those who didn’t know this holy book, or never read it, or never understand what it came up with..

Unfortunate are those who didn't listen to its words, and didn't read them in their prayers…
--------

The Holy Quran is the well known book all over the world as the Book of Islam. Muslims believe that it’s the last revelation from God to his Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and these are words of God literally written in a book called "Mosahaf".

This article will try to explain some of the attributes of this great book, and show them to both muslims and non-muslims, maybe they will read this book with passion, and follow what it teaches.

Structure of this book:

This Book contains 114 chapters, chapter size ranges from 50 pages to 1.5 lines' chapter.

Each chapter has number of phrases called "Aya", some chapters have +200's of Ayas, and the shortest has 3 Ayas only.

The Chapters are sorted from the beginning of the Quran to the end, from the longest to almost the shorter.

The Book is divided into 30 equal parts, Aya's count is 6,236, Words count is 77,845, Letters count is 330,733.

Miraculously, if we take the number of "Aya's" of each chapter with each chapter order starting from Al-Fatiha and draw them on excel, we get the names of "ALLAH" and "Muhammad" in Arabic and on the same graph !! [1]


Now, let's go deep in this book and try to understand even a little of its greatness..


- Book with no Doubts:

ALLAH says:

الم -   ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابُ لاَ رَيْبَ فِيهِ هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِين

Alif-Lâm-Mîm. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'ân and none but Allâh (Alone) knows their meanings] (1) This is the Book (the Qur'ân), whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqûn [the pious and righteous persons]. (2:1-2)

This first Ayas in Quran first pages, in its biggest Chapter of "Al-Baqra", ALLAH says that: "This is the book whereof there is no doubt". Some may ask what the difference that such phrase will do?

Before answering, we have to ask the following: did anyone read a book who is written by a human and has such phrase in its beginning, can a scientist or a writer states in the beginning of his book, that his book surely has no doubts, means no error, no revisions, no claims can alter his book writings whatsoever, not even a single printing error !!

The answer is NO, it's impossible to find someone who can write such thing, otherwise people will immediately start complaining, and some may start picking up the errors and start listing them, and may publish them to show his mistakes to the public.

But this book is from GOD, so he is the one who knows that his book has no errors and can't have errors.

Even in the Bible, Torah, or any other scripture such phrase doesn't exist, although some might truly came from God, but this to show that some of them may be corrupted through copying during old ages, but Quran is never corrupted and never will be and it will be reserved like that till end of days, and will be kept in its original language too.

Note that some infidels tried to list some of their bad understanding about Quran as errors, but we will see later how it's a perfect book, and that they didn't understood this book correctly (or didn’t want to).


- The First Arabic Book ever

For those who may don’t know that Arabs were an illiterate nation, they never wrote a book before Islam, not even a single one !!

Imagine a nation that was called the nation of "unlettered" people, those among Arabs who can read and write were counted on fingers.

Therefore, the first book that came in Arabic the Holy Quran was so pure and so ideal, it's impossible to be done by human whatsoever, first "trial " will never be in such perfection.

ALLAH says:

هو الذي بعث في الاميين رسولا منهم يتلو عليهم اياته ويزكيهم ويعلمهم الكتاب والحكمة وان كانوا من قبل لفي ضلال مبين

He it is Who sent among the unlettered ones a Messenger (Muhammad SAW) from among themselves, reciting to them His Verses, purifying them (from the filth of disbelief and polytheism), and teaching them the Book (this Qur'ân, Islâmic laws and Islâmic jurisprudence) and Al-Hikmah (As-Sunnah: legal ways, orders, acts of worship, of Prophet Muhammad SAW). And verily, they had been before in mainfest error; (62-2)

Although Arabs were articulate people and too many poets among them, they stood astonished in front of Quran miraculous words.

Therefore, it's impossible that such book is a human work, it must be a revelation, knowing that first books to be translated to Arabic was 150 years later during the Caliph Al-Ma'amoun.


- No author except God

The infidels lie and say that the Quran was written by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), but Muhammad (PBUH) himself call that it the Book of God, and never claim that it's his book. On the cover of Quran you will never see the Book of Muhammad, similar to 10's of bibles exist in the world, such as Bible of John, Luke, Mathew, Mark. 

Similarly in Torah, you will find many chapters by the name who wrote them such as: books of Mosses, Joshua, Ruth, Samuel, Ezra, Esther, Job, Song of Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Amos, Jonah, Nahum, etc…

But Quran is named as: Book of God, Book of ALLAH.

 
- Book delivered by an illiterate Prophet !! 

For those who may don’t know, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was illiterate, he never went to school, or been taught by a teacher while he was young, he was poor and orphan, and raised by his mother first, then grandfather, then his uncle, who has many children and didn’t have money enough to spend it on teaching Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), so he was been illiterate.

But did anyone ever heard that an illiterate person during entire human history was able to write a book or to dictate a complete book of 615 pages from his own head ?!!

This was by ALLAH wisdom, which he states that in the Quran, so unbelievers won't have doubts and say that Muhammad (PBUH) may copied the Quran from other books, ALLAH says:

وَمَا كُنتَ تَتْلُو مِن قَبْلِهِ مِن كِتَابٍ وَلا تَخُطُّهُ بِيَمِينِكَ إِذًا لّارْتَابَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ

Neither did you (O Muhammad SAW) read any book before it (this Qur'ân), nor did you write any book (whatsoever) with your right hand. In that case, indeed, the followers of falsehood might have doubted. (29-48)

Since it is completely impossible and never happened before, then it must be a miracle from GOD and Muhammad (PBUH) is really a prophet from God and Quran is his holy book.

Proof:

In Hydabeiya, when Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was finalizing the conciliation between the Muslims and Infidels of Makkah, he asked Ali to write the following statement:

"This what Muhammad Apostle of ALLAH agreed about with Kuraysh (Makkah people)"

Suhayel who was negotiating from Kuraysh side, said:

"If we know truly that you are the Apostle of ALLAH, we would followed you, write your and your fathers names only"

So Prophet Muhammad asked Ali to erase it and write instead:

"This what Muhammad son of Abdullah agreed about with Kuraysh (Makkah people)"

But, Ali refused to erase it and swore he will never do it !!

So Prophet Muhammad asked him where the words "Apostle of ALLAH" and Ali showed him, then Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by his kindness and wisdom erased them by his hand !!

Imagine he didn’t know the words of "Apostle of ALLAH", and he was calling day and night, so people believe that he is really the "Apostle of ALLAH". But, ALLAH the Creator planned from the beginning that he will be illiterate to show that this miraculous book came only from him.


Proof that Prophet Muhammad is NOT the author.

Some infidels still argue and argue, again and again, that Prophet Muhammad was literate person regardless all the evidences that came in his life story that he was not. But, are there any other proofs?

The Answer is yes, and they are from the Quran, and the following evidences show that it's impossible that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was the author of Quran:

1 - Quran mentions Prophet Muhammad by name few times only

Prophet Muhammad was mentioned in the Quran only 4 times by name, knowing that other prophets were mentioned much more, such as: Moses x 136 times, Ibrahim x 69, Noah x 43, Joseph x 27, Lut x 27, Jesus x 25, Adam x 25, Aroun x 20, etc..

2 - Quran never mentions about Prophet Muhammad birth, father, mother, etc..

Not even a single phrase, although Qurans mentioned the miracle birth of Jesus, John, and Moses, but nothing about Prophet Muhammad or his family member.

3 - Quran instructs Prophet Muhammad how to receive the revelation from God and not to rush

While Prophet Muhammad receiving the revelation from the Holy Spirit (Gabriel), he used to move his tongue trying to repeat the words, so he won't forget them, ALLAH instructed him not to worry about that, and ALLAH will save it in his heart and mind, and he will never lose it. ALLAH says:

لا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ   -  إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ - فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ -  ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ

Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur'ân, O Muhammad SAW) to make haste therewith. (16) It is for Us to collect it and to give you (O Muhammad SAW) the ability to recite it (the Qur'ân), (17) And when We have recited it to you [O Muhammad SAW through Jibril (Gabriel)], then follow you its (the Qur'ân's) recital. (18) Then it is for Us (Allâh) to make it clear (to you). (75-19)

4 - Quran informs Prophet Muhammad that Quran will be collected later on and reserved by God

In the same verse listed above, ALLAH says and "it's for us to collect it", and this was a promise from God that Quran will be collected, and indirect signal that it will be collected after Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), otherwise he will said and then you will collect it. In addition to the following verse that promises that Quran will be reserved for ever:

انا نحن نزلنا الذكر وانا له لحافظون

Verily We: It is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur'ân) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption) (15:9)

5 - Quran warns Prophet Muhammad not to change or alter any word in the revelation

Read the following horrible warning, if just Prophet Muhammad thought he may say something from himself in Quran that ALLAH didn’t truly said to him: 

تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ - وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ الأَقَاوِيلِ - لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِالْيَمِينِ - ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِينَ - فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَاجِزِينَ

This is the Revelation sent down from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists). (43) And if he (Muhammad SAW) had forged a false saying concerning Us (Allâh swt), (44) We surely would have seized him by his right hand (or with power and might), (45) And then we certainly would have cut off his life artery (Aorta), (46) And none of you could witheld Us from (punishing) him. (69:47)

6 - Quran warns Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) not to be angry, doubt of what is revealed from God

Explained in the following verses:

فَلَعَلَّكَ تَارِكٌ بَعْضَ مَا يُوحَى إِلَيْكَ وَضَائِقٌ بِهِ صَدْرُكَ أَن يَقُولُواْ لَوْلاَ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ كَنزٌ أَوْ جَاءَ مَعَهُ مَلَكٌ إِنَّمَا أَنتَ نَذِيرٌ وَاللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَكِيلٌ

So perchance you (Muhammad SAW) may give up a part of what is revealed unto you, and that your breast feels straitened for it because they say, "Why has not a treasure been sent down unto him, or an angel has come with him?" But you are only a warner. And Allâh is a Wakîl (Disposer of affairs, Trustee, Guardian) over all things. (11:12)

فَإِن كُنتَ فِي شَكٍّ مِّمَّا أَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ فَاسْأَلِ الَّذِينَ يَقْرَؤُونَ الْكِتَابَ مِن قَبْلِكَ لَقَدْ جَاءَكَ الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَلاَ تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَرِينَ 94  وَلاَ تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ

So if you (O Muhammad SAW) are in doubt concerning that which We have revealed unto you, then ask those who are reading the Book [the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] before you. Verily, the truth has come to you from your Lord. So be not of those who doubt (it) (94) And be not one of those who belie the Ayât (proofs, evidences) of Allâh, for then you shall be one of the losers. (10:95)

7 - Quran wishes if Prophet Muhammad did something else

When Prophet Muhammad forgave for those who didn’t go to fight with him, the Quran came with the following verses:

عَفَا اللَّهُ عَنكَ لِمَ أَذِنتَ لَهُمْ حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكَ الَّذِينَ صَدَقُواْ وَتَعْلَمَ الْكَاذِبِينَ

May Allâh forgive you (O Muhammad SAW). Why did you grant them leave (for remaining behind, you should have persisted as regards your order to them to proceed on Jihâd), until those who told the truth were seen by you in a clear light, and you had known the liars? (9:43)

Also, when he took prisoners of war after the battle of Bader and free them for money before getting God permission first, ALLAH revealed to his prophet the following:

مَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَن يَكُونَ لَهُ أَسْرَى حَتَّى يُثْخِنَ فِي الأَرْضِ تُرِيدُونَ عَرَضَ الدُّنْيَا وَاللَّهُ يُرِيدُ الآخِرَةَ وَاللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ - لَّوْلاَ كِتَابٌ مِّنَ اللَّهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ -  فَكُلُواْ مِمَّا غَنِمْتُمْ حَلالاً طَيِّبًا وَاتَّقُواْ اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the captives), but Allâh desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise. (67) Were it not a previous ordainment from Allâh, a severe torment would have touched you for what you took. (68) So enjoy what you have gotten of booty in war, lawful and good, and be afraid of Allâh. Certainly, Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (8:69)

8 - Quran warns Prophet Muhammad not to listen to infidels or follow them

ALLAH says: 

وَإِن كَادُواْ لَيَفْتِنُونَكَ عَنِ الَّذِي أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ لِتَفْتَرِيَ عَلَيْنَا غَيْرَهُ وَإِذًا لاَّتَّخَذُوكَ خَلِيلاً  73 وَلَوْلاَ أَن ثَبَّتْنَاكَ لَقَدْ كِدتَّ تَرْكَنُ إِلَيْهِمْ شَيْئًا قَلِيلاً 74 إِذَاً لَّأَذَقْنَاكَ ضِعْفَ الْحَيَاةِ وَضِعْفَ الْمَمَاتِ ثُمَّ لاَ تَجِدُ لَكَ عَلَيْنَا نَصِيرًا 75

Verily, they were about to tempt you away from that which We have revealed (the Qur'ân) unto you (O Muhammad SAW), to fabricate something other than it against Us, and then they would certainly have taken you a Khalil (an intimate friend)! (73) And had We not made you stand firm, you would nearly have inclined to them a little. (74) In that case, We would have made you taste a double portion (of punishment) in this life and a double portion (of punishment) after death. And then you would have found none to help you against Us. (17:73-75)

9 - Quran declares the Prophet Muhammad not to be shy of what he was been ordered to do

Let's read the following verses, that explain the whole story:

وَإِذْ تَقُولُ لِلَّذِي أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَاتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَتُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ وَتَخْشَى النَّاسَ وَاللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَن تَخْشَاهُ فَلَمَّا قَضَى زَيْدٌ مِّنْهَا وَطَرًا زَوَّجْنَاكَهَا لِكَيْ لا يَكُونَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَرَجٌ فِي أَزْوَاجِ أَدْعِيَائِهِمْ إِذَا قَضَوْا مِنْهُنَّ وَطَرًا وَكَانَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ مَفْعُولا - مَّا كَانَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ مِنْ حَرَجٍ فِيمَا فَرَضَ اللَّهُ لَهُ سُنَّةَ اللَّهِ فِي الَّذِينَ خَلَوْا مِن قَبْلُ وَكَانَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ قَدَرًا مَّقْدُورًا - الَّذِينَ يُبَلِّغُونَ رِسَالاتِ اللَّهِ وَيَخْشَوْنَهُ وَلا يَخْشَوْنَ أَحَدًا إِلاَّ اللَّهَ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ حَسِيبًا

And (remember) when you said to him (Zaid bin Hârithah radhiallahu'anhu the freed¬slave of the Prophet SAW) on whom Allâh has bestowed Grace (by guiding him to Islâm) and you (O Muhammad SAW too) have done favour (by manumitting him) "Keep your wife to yourself, and fear Allâh." But you did hide in yourself (i.e. what Allâh has already made known to you that He will give her to you in marriage) that which Allâh will make manifest, you did fear the people (i.e., their saying that Muhammad SAW married the divorced wife of his manumitted slave) whereas Allâh had a better right that you should fear Him. So when Zaid had accomplished his desire from her (i.e. divorced her), We gave her to you in marriage, so that (in future) there may be no difficulty to the believers in respect of (the marriage of) the wives of their adopted sons when the latter have no desire to keep them (i.e. they have divorced them). And Allâh's Command must be fulfilled. (37) There is no blame on the Prophet (SAW) in that which Allâh has made legal for him. That has been Allâh's Way with those who have passed away of (the Prophets of) old. And the Command of Allâh is a decree determined. (38) Those who convey the Message of Allâh and fear Him, and fear none save Allâh. And Sufficient is Allâh as a Reckoner. (39)

10 - Quran mentions one name of prophet companions only, WHY?

In the above verse, Quran mentions the name of one of Prophet companions "Zaid", knowing that it meant "Zaid Ibn Haritha", but if we know the one who collected the Quran named also "Zaid" but Ibn Thabit, we know that it's a miracle and a signal to the one who will collect the Quran after the death of the Prophet. 

Some may say it's only a coincidence, then why among 100,000's of the companions, only Zaid was mentioned not Abu Baker not Omar not Othamn not Ali, only Zaid, the first name of the one who collected the Quran 2 years later after Prophet death..
If coincidence, then what a coincidence !!

Conclusion:

From all the above, for those who claim that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) wrote the Quran or invented it, then answer the following questions:

- Is there anyone on Earth who wrote a (religious) book and didn’t mention any thing about his family, parents, etc… Even the bible it's all about Jesus life, where did he go, eat, sleep, pray, teach, etc…how come this book didn’t mention anything about Prophet Muhammad family or personal life?

- Is there a book that warns who wrote it (as per their claim), that he must do something else, or he mustn't do that thing, or warn the writer not to do such act again, or to listen to someone, or threaten the writer himself to be punished if he did a certain thing (alter Quran words)!!

It's clear that this book is impossible to be written by Muhammad (PBUH) himself, these words are not human words and not logically to be directed from human to human, it's impossible that a writer threaten himself in his own book, unless these are truly words of God.


- Quran is not copied from other scriptures

Some infidels used to mention that Quran is copied from other scriptures like Bible and Torah, and like to promote this among others to claim that Quran is not a new revelation from God..
But did they ever compare the Quran word to word with the Old and New Testaments?

The answer is NO, because if they did they'll never find a single phrase that is copied from Bible into Quran exactly, except ONE !!!

This verse is the following:
الأَرْضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِيَ الصَّالِحُونَ
My righteous slaves shall inherit the land . (21: 105)

And if we search in the Old testament on this phrase we discover that its true, and it was mentioned in the Bible in the following verses:

لأَنَّ عَامِلِي الشَّرِّ يُقْطَعُونَ، وَالَّذِينَ يَنْتَظِرُونَ الرَّبَّ هُمْ يَرِثُونَ الأَرْضَ. المزامير ٩:٣٧
أَمَّا الْوُدَعَاءُ فَيَرِثُونَ الأَرْضَ، وَيَتَلَذَّذُونَ فِي كَثْرَةِ السَّلاَمَةِ. ١١:٣٧
لأَنَّ الْمُبَارَكِينَ مِنْهُ يَرِثُونَ الأَرْضَ، وَالْمَلْعُونِينَ مِنْهُ يُقْطَعُونَ. ٢٢:٣٧
الصِّدِّيقُونَ يَرِثُونَ الأَرْضَ وَيَسْكُنُونَهَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ. ٢٩:٣٧

9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. [Psalms 37]

Therefore, the above phrase is the only one mentioned literally as in the Psalms, Old Testament, how then it's mentioned in the Quran like that !!

But lets read the whole verse first, miraculously ALLAH says:

وَلَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِي الزَّبُورِ مِن بَعْدِ الذِّكْرِ أَنَّ الأَرْضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِيَ الصَّالِحُونَ

And indeed We have written in Az-Zabûr [i.e. the Psalms] after Al-Zekr (Praising God), that My righteous slaves shall inherit the land. (21: 105)

Who taught the illiterate Prophet that even if a single phrase is quoted from other resource he must mention its reference, he didn’t enter a school or university, and such principle didn’t exist before 1000 of years when universities start to exist..


- The only fully memorized book Ever..

If you ask any muslim to read the first chapter of Quran, he will recite it immediately, it's Al-Fatiha, 7 verses. Then if you ask any muslim read the last chapter of Quran "Al-Nass" 6 verses, he will recite it immediately.

Ask any Christian to recite the first verse from the bible or the last one, or any chapter even if it's the smallest, or one paragraph literally without any mistake, you rarely find someone..

Ask someone if he memorize the whole bible, the old or the new not necessary both of them, you will never ever find one.

But there are millions of muslims who majority are non-Arabs (since Arabs are only 16% of total muslims), who memorize the whole Quran from cover to cover, 30 x parts, 114 x chapters, 615  x pages, 6,236 x verses, 77,845 x words, 330,733 x Letters !!

It's the only Book on Earth in such size, which is memorized by millions completely, and partly by almost 1 billion Muslim.

In conclusion, it's the only book that deserves to be named and treated as "Book of God" on Earth, more than any book else.


- The most printed and distributed book ever

Some may claim, that the bible is the most printed book because it's older than Quran, but currently the situation is changed..

You rarely find a muslim family who don’t have a Quran in their home, or car, or shop, or office.
Every member of muslim family when he grew up and start reading, their family brought him a Quran of his own, so he can read it anytime he wants.

Ask any Christian or Hindu or Buddhist if they have their sacred book at home, and when they read it last time.

Almost 1 billion of muslims has at least 1 Quran in their home and sometimes more, not forgetting the billions of Quran books distributed in Muslims mosques all over the World !

In addition the daily distribution of new Quran books all over the World for free, for muslims and non-muslim, just for spreading the word of God (see next photos).


- The Book that can be read and read and read

Imagine that you have a very nice Novel that you like very much, how many times that you can read it?

The answer is maybe twice, maybe a 3rd time but after a decade !!

The Quran is read minimum by regular muslim each year once, but some of muslims read it all every month, some every week, and some in 5 days, some even less.

Some of old muslims scholars (worshipers) died and they read it for 4000 times during their lives like Ibn Idriss, and Shafe'ei used to read it 60 times during Ramadan month only where Al-Bukhari used to read it 30 times..

وذكر النووي أن كرز ابن وبرة كان يختم القرآن أربعاً في الليل وأربعاً في النهار، وختم ابن إدريس القرآن في بيته أربعة آلاف مرة، وكان الشافعي في رمضان يختم القرآن ستين مرة، والبخاري ثلاثين مرة، وكان أحمد يصلي في اليوم ثلاثمائة ركعة...

During our times, those who memorize Quran are advised to read it at least every month or every 10 days if they don’t want to forget it.


- The Book can be felt, even without understanding its words

Some may not believe that Quran has an influence even on non-Arabs, who don’t understand Arabic Language and on non-muslims, but they are mistaken.

In many occasions while debating with non muslims, they were asked to hear Quran they feel it in their hearts, some may start crying while listening to Quran. Some of them admitted it's very nice and relaxing, although they don’t know why !?

Knowing that most of muslims who accepted Islam during Prophet Muhammad was after listening to its words, no miracles or signs, just listening to its words.

Let's see some clear evidence, in the following video a German young man accepted Islam after hearing a boy reciting Quran, he cried for the first time, although he didn’t know the meaning of its words, but he is confident that his soul had understood, let's watch..


Now let's do a practical test, the following verses talks about the regret of infidels when they will discover the Truth, that they were on the wrong side and they had to believe in God, let's read and listen to them..



Now, how do you feel?


- The Book that can be used to expel demons


Who don’t believe, then listen to the following "rouqya" (i.e. verses and prayers used for healing), it has certain words from Quran used to expel demons from homes and from humans bodies too.

During the listening, if you felt pricking in your fingers, means the demons are suffering.. 



- The book can be used to treat the sick

Many diseases especially psychological and some physical diseases can be treated by Quran and by some prayers that prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us, Like reading the following verses on headache, or fever, or stomach.

Let's test and see..
الله لا اله الا هو الحي القيوم لا تاخذه سنة ولا نوم له ما في السماوات وما في الارض من ذا الذي يشفع عنده الا باذنه يعلم ما بين ايديهم وما خلفهم ولا يحيطون بشيء من علمه الا بما شاء وسع كرسيه السماوات والارض ولا يؤوده حفظهما وهو العلي العظيم

Allâh! Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber, nor sleep overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter . And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursî extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great. [This Verse 2:255 is called Ayat-ul-Kursî.]— (2:255)

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ 1 مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ 2  وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ 3 وَمِن شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ 4  وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ 5

Say: "I seek refuge with (Allâh) the Lord of the daybreak, (1) "From the evil of what He has created; (2) "And from the evil of the darkening (night) as it comes with its darkness; (or the moon as it sets or goes away) (3) "And from the evil of those who practise witchcrafts when they blow in the knots, (4) "And from the evil of the envier when he envies." (113:1-5)

- Who memorize Quran never lose their minds

Some may don’t know that Quran is a treasure for his keeper, ALLAH's mercy on those who memorize his book that they never suffer from Alzheimer, they won't forget or lose their minds.

And this to protect the words that they know, because if they start to forget they may start mixing the verses or teaching their students wrongly, but ALLAH protects his slaves especially those who memorize his book.
Let's watch the following video, for old Sheikhs reading Quran and leading 100'000s of muslims in prayer, although they are in their 70's, sometimes they had to read complete pages of Quran without missing a word.

Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Saleh, born in 1911, praying in Madinah Mosque (1984), in age of 73, reading Quran and making Dua'a from his memory..

Knowing he used to read the whole Quran in daily prayers during month of Ramadan

Sheikh Abdullah Al-Khaliefy, born in 1914, praying in Makkah Mosque (1987), in age of 73, reading Quran and making Dua'a from his memory..

 



- The Book that can be reviewed while sleeping !!

Although many muslims and non-muslims may don’t know that, but only those who memorize Quran know that and it happens with them a lot, that even while they are sleeping they can read Quran in their dreams and review it, which is also mentioned in the following Hadith:
وإن الله نظر إلى أهل الأرض فمقتهم ، عربهم وعجمهم ، إلا بقايا من أهل الكتاب . وقال : إنما بعثتك لأبتليك وأبتلي بك . وأنزلت عليك كتابا لا يغسله الماء . تقرؤه نائما ويقظان -  المصدر: صحيح مسلم

And verily, Allah looked towards the people of the world and He showed hatred for the Arabs and the non-Arabs, but with the exception of some remnants from the People of the Book. And He (further) said: I have sent thee (the Holy Prophet) in order to put you to test and put (those to test) through you. And I sent the Book to you which cannot be washed away by water, so that you may recite it while in the state of wakefulness or sleep. (Book #040, Hadith #6853)

Of course, there is no single book on Earth, that can be recited by someone asleep, except Quran, and the following videos shows man after surgery or old man in comma reciting Quran, although they are totally unconscious !!
