The Holy Quran is the sacred book of the Muslims, it is the word of Allah revealed to the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) through the angel Jibril. This revelation has lasted 23 years.
The Holy Quran is the heart of Islam, it includes all the teachings and precepts of the religion, for every Muslim, it’s the divine symbol of faith. The Holy Book is also considered a miracle in itself because of its content and scope, which is extended to all possible areas and continues to fascinate scientists for its extraordinary advance over time.
Quran is the best source of inspiration and motivation for all Muslims. We, as a Muslim to be successful in both worlds, should learn and follow Quran Kareem. The following Hadith of Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.) shows the importance about learning Quran:
Uthman bin Affan (R.A.) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) said, “The best amongst you is the one who learns the Qur’an and teaches it.” (Sahih al-Bukhari : 5027)
Surah Al Fatiha with Transliteration, English, Urdu Translation | Sura Fatiha | سُورَةُ الْفَاتِحَةِ
Therefore in the light of this Hadith, the best people in the world are not those who have high degrees and positions, nor are those who possess excessive wealth. But the best person on the side of Allah is the person who wants to learn the Holy Quran and teach it to others.
The Quran has 114 chapters called Suras. The first one is called Al Fatiha (the opening). Each sura is composed of phrases or verses called “ayat”. The chapters or surahs are of unequal length; the shortest surah Al-Kawthar has only three verses while the longest sura is the Al Baqara, which has 286 ayas.
A part of the Quran was revealed to the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the city of Mecca and the other in the city of Medina, that is why we find a classification of the surahs in the Quran by Makiya and Madaniya, in fact by place of revelation.
May Allah bless all Muslims with strong Faith, Purity of heart, good manners, good deeds and understanding the true meaning of all teaching of Quran and Hadiths.
