Quran is the last book of guidance which was revealed
on Our Beloved Prophet Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam). The Quran deals
with the ultimate goal of mankind. Allah Ta'ala has clearly explained the goal
and aim of our lives as Allah Ta'ala says in Quran: "I have only created
Jinns and men, that they may serve Me".
If someone wants to understand
the core and essence of the Holy Quran he or she must have some characteristics
and beliefs. Here are they:
- first: who believe in the Unseen
- second: who steadfast in prayer
- third: who spend money in the way of Allah
- fourth: who believe the Holy Quran and other
books of Allah
- fifth: who have the assurance of the
Hereafter
The second
chapter of Quran talks about these characteristics as Allah says: "This is
the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah. Who
believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in prayer, and spend out of what we have
provided for them; and who believe in the Revelation sent to thee, and sent
before thy time and (in their hearts) has the assurance of the Hereafter".
The companions (Sahaba Radhiy
allaho anho) of Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) used to say first we
learned Imaan (belief) from Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) and then we
learned Quran. one can't really understand the core of Quran without Imaan
however it is such amazing Book that it opens up gates of guidance for every
single human being no matter he/she is a Muslim or not.
Quran says that the people who
have the above characteristics would not only get guidance but also they are
the ones who will prosper. The fifth verse of Surah Al-Baqarah / The Cow
states: "They are on (true) guidance, from their Lord, and it is these who
will prosper."
On the other hand there are some
unfortunate people who would not get guidance at all. Allah says to Rasulullah
(Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) that whether you warn them or not they will not
become Muslims as
Quran
says: "As to those who reject Faith, it is the same to them whether thou
warn them or do not warn them; they will not believe."
The question is that why Allah
says whether you warn them or not they will not believe in Me? the reason is
told in Quran as well, the reason is given in the very next verse "Allah
hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, and on their eyes is a
veil; great is the penalty they (incur)" they are the ones who are
"Deaf, dumb, and blind, they will not return (to the path)" primarily
because whenever they are told about the Truth, they not only reject but also
make fun out of it.
