TRAGIC enough that the entire human community has become preoccupied with the pursuit of worldly temptations and comforts, trading its time for them. Mankind is made of two components: corporal and spiritual. When it focuses only on corporal decoration and overlooks the spiritual aspect, man becomes handicapped and unable to find balance while walking the path of life. Islam is the only faith that gives such balance of life to mankind. All its teachings encompass all the aspects of life. Holy Quran is a book which is gateway to all guidance to man and a perfect body of teachings but regrettably we study this perfect text book to memorize lyrically it and not to conceive any wisdom we have reduced it only for the rituals for which we are historically addicted to it.
Today I after having gone through this Holy Book Quran thoroughly I have designed a guess paper for the students of this Holy Text Book Quran. It is comprising sections of the constitution book I have arranged the prominent parts concisely number wise to make it easy to study the students of this Holy Book. In the initiatory words of Holy Quran are so powerful and peace giving that the reader comes to a conviction that the Author of the book, the Creator is really so kind and loving towards His Creature.
Al-Quran: In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent and the Most Merciful. Al-Quran: Don’t worship the lords of the Lord to gain His favours. This is worship of traders, if one prays Him with a sense of gratitude and obligation this is noble and free worship. Al-Quran: Avoid greed it is a permanent slavery don’t call out things access of your needs, you act only as its trustee for someone else to use it spend out what we have given you to the impoverished people. This is your bending to us which will be return to you with high rate of profit from me.
Al-Quran: When my men in the long vigils in midnight prayers seeking my solace and call me in their times of sorrows and pains I go very near to them and listen to him most closely and cover him with a cloud full of my blessings and favours. Al-Quran: Every deed if it is good or bad by man is inked in the account of his life which will be shown to him at the day of Resurrection. Al-Quran: We commanded the man to serve goodness, reverence, patience and obedience all the round, one who will abide this command I will return all goodness to him in abundance.
Al-Quran: Remembers Allah is mighty wise and aware of all and all depend on Him. He is Lords of Lords. He has the power to parish man whom He wants to parish. Most certainly He tries His men with somewhat hunger and loss of property and many more. If a misfortune befalls on man, seek assistance of the Almighty through patience and prayers and submit himself entirely to Allah. He talks His men the right direction and way to way-out of the distress. Al-Quran: I never favoured asceticism I gave my men to enjoy all the opportunities and all variety of pleasures which we have bestowed upon you with in the bounded orders which we have drawn.
Al-Quran: We did not give importance or priority to wealth for mankind if it would be so all our apostles would have been privileged with wealth. Al-Quran: Listen, when men who in spite of knowing all our orders which are for their betterment and welfare disobey then grief and disease send upon them like their beddings. Al-Quran: If the man will keep on remembering Me in his joys and sorrows I will reduce his sorrows and enhance his joys.
Al-Quran: Islam is the only religion which is totally in harmony with the nature and circumstances. It is a guiding become for mankind related to all aspects of life, including the patron of rules for a ruler. If a ruler is righteous we send invisible help to him during the period of his rule. He should be very careful while selecting the office bears and judges of his state likewise selecting his soldiers the piety and the chivalry of soldier is imperative. My this column should be taken as an epigraph on which I have inscribed a few “Golden Sayings” from Quran-e-Hakeem. If every one of us before starting the services of daily life put a glance of this epigraph, it may provide ease, peace and comfort to it. We should deliver this epigraph to our children to whom parents have delivered noting to make them righteous human beings.
