The current situation
As Muslims, the Qur’an should have been the center of our existence. The big challenge is that almost 90% of the non-Arab Muslims doesn’t even understand one page of it!
The Ultimate Solution
Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala said: “[This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], that they might reflect upon its verses…” (Al-Quran 38:29)
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “I am leaving with you two weighty things: the first is the Book of Allah … (and he said)… hold fast to the Book of Allah and adhere to it.” [Muslim]
Why is stress prevailing everywhere?
Because we are struggling with our priorities. We want to find peace but when it comes to Islamic knowledge, we don’t know where to start. On top of this, our schools are not teaching the complete Quran. That sure is a recipe for disaster. We need to correct our priorities.
Do you see the urgency? The time is now to realize that the Quran is not just a nice book to have, but it is a must to understand and practice it for our own benefit.
