Muslims believe that Quran is the Book of Allah revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) which it will certainly continue till completion of the world to admonish and direct the entire mankind, irrespective of nation, country, continent, time and area. It is not only a source of remembrance and guidance for the believers but also a healing mercy. This belief demanded that Muslims ought to have established an active relationship with it, comprehended it, pondered over its verses, obtained the light of its teachings, followed it truly and should have fulfilled the responsibilities placed on them by this book.
But the case of Muslims is odd. They do not even feel the need of reading this book with understanding. They are pleased just with believing in and reciting it. In consequence their relationship with Quran has really been weakened. The central location of significance which ought to have been occupied by this book and the traditions (Sunnah) of the prophet (PBUH) for Muslims is taken up by other personalities and their books or that they have actually ended up being independent to follow their own free will. This state of affairs is not such that we could simply pass over it. Cursorily, but there is a need to analyze the cause and get rid of the mental blocks concerning this.
Understanding Arabic
Generally people think that Quran is in Arabic and they do not know Arabic, it is not needed for them to understand the sense and definition of the Quran. This reason would have been acceptable if there were no resources available for understanding its definition and message. However what does this excuse depicts when every type of resource to comprehend its meaning and message is readily available? In modern times education is common and the new methods of printing has actually provided tremendous resources for publication and dissemmation of knowledge, and so far as Quran is concerned its translation is readily available in lots of, and commentary in quite few, languages of the world. Then what avoids us to get take advantage of them?
Today everyone has to do a lot to make up a bright future and career; an university student reads a great deal of books, studies them in depth and devotes a precious part of his life for obtaining knowledge. How tough is his task! Everybody is ready to face these difficulties for worldly benefits, however to accomplish the advantages of the Hereafter none takes care of the research of Quran. By learning the language of Quran or its translation, the capability to understand the Book of Allah can be established and when Quran is recited in the prayer (Salat), its meanings can be recognized and its sweet taste can enhance faith.
If a person gets a letter from his pal in a language not familiar to him, he makes some one else read it in order to comprehend it. However he does not care to understand the message sent out by the Lord of the word for His slaves. See More >>>
