Learn Quran - With Reference to Quran

Allah, Most Gracious, says,

"Truly there is a reminder in this for anyone who has a heart, or who listens attentively with presence of mind." (Qaf 50:37)

On numerous occasions in the Quran, the importance of learning the Quran is emphasized. The Quran itself invites believers to learn and reflect on its teachings. Learning the Quran is not limited to reading; it involves thoughtful study of divine messages and instructions sent by Allah for the welfare of humanity. It is a matter of spiritual life and death for Muslims, as stated:

"It is simply a reminder and a clear Quran so that you may warn those who are truly alive." (Ya Sin 36:69-70)

Failing to learn Quran is not an option for Muslims. Allah has made it a responsibility for all believers:

"Had We sent down this Quran on a mountain, you would surely have seen it humbling itself and rending asunder by the fear of Allah. Such are the parables which We put forward to mankind that they may reflect." (Al-Hashr 59:21)

The Quran is the ultimate source of all knowledge, offering guidance on faith, society, ethics, and nature. Those who recite, learn, and impart its teachings are honored in Allah's sight and are promised immense rewards.

With Reference to Hadith

"The best amongst you is he who learns the Quran and teaches it."

This saying of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) highlights the obligation of teaching and learning the Quran. The Prophet was a preacher of the Quran, and his companions were its learners. Through their understanding and implementation of the Quran’s teachings, they became the best Muslims of this Ummah.

"O people, I am leaving behind among you the Holy Book (Quran) and the Sunnah (way of the Prophet). If you follow these in letter and spirit, you will never be led astray." (Hakim Al-Mustadrik, Book 1 Hadith 318)

Don’t worry if you’re not proficient in reading the Quran. Begin your journey today. With Allah’s grace, learning the Quran has become easier through online sessions and courses. Allah rewards those who strive to learn, as mentioned in a Hadith:

"Verily, the one who recites the Quran beautifully, smoothly, and precisely will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels. And the one who recites with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses, will have twice that reward." (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

In conclusion, both the Quran and Hadith emphasize the importance of learning the Quran, practicing its teachings, and sharing its message with others. This approach leads to a guided, blessed life and guarantees success in the hereafter.
