THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 18th day of Rabeeul Awwal 1440, (Sunday, 25th November, 2018). QURAN, THE LIVE MIRACLE FOR MANKIND AND JINNKIND. BismilLah. How do you explain to your non Muslim colleagues when they ask you to explain to them all about the Quran?. Let's study together on this first day of the week. Basically, we can reliably say that Quran is the direct SPEECH of the CREATOR ALLAH (The Mighty GOD in English), a Final Testament or Revelation for Humankind. The Quran, the last revealed words of GOD, is the primary source of every Muslim’s faith and practice. It deals with all the subjects which concern human beings: wisdom, doctrine, worship, transactions, law, etc., but its basic theme is the relationship between God, ALLAH and HIS creatures.  At the same time, it provides guidelines and detailed teachings for a just society, proper human conduct, and an equitable economic system. Note that the Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) in Arabic ONLY.  So, any Quranic translation, either in English or any other language, is neither a Quran, nor a version of the Quran, but rather it is only a translation of the meaning of the Quran. Any errors or mistakes within any translation CANNOT be attributed to the Quran. The Quran exists only in the Arabic in which it was revealed. You study Arabic to know the Quran properly or take the risk following translations. There is no single certified translations of the Quran by ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal, The Mighty and the Majestic) or HIS Messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam. The Quran represents the fountainhead of Divine guidance for every Muslim. Its revelation to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his practical implementation of the revelation (Hadith), completed ALLAH’s blessing for humanity, in providing us with a belief and value system that is valid for all times. The Quran confirms the revelations given to earlier Prophets, though these might not be accessible to us, in the form they were originally revealed. The most sublime language and a rational message that directly appeals to the human heart have caused this Divine book to move nations and civilizations. It will continue to guide those who turn to GOD with a sincere heart, for all times. ALLAH (Al-Haaliq, The CREATOR) has sent us the Quran as a mine map, so that we may safely cross the mine field of life. But our ignorance and arrogance are such, that we wish to negotiate this mine field with our own mined without following the QURAN AND SUNNAH. Results = Disastrous. May ALLAH (Al-Haadi, The Guide) keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
