7 Reasons to Read the Glorious Quran

7 Reasons to Read the Glorious Quran

By: Shabir Ali

(1) Intimate:

It dares you to disprove it. How? It says that humans can not write
a book like this even if they pooled all their resources together and
got help also from the spirits. The Quran said this fourteen
hundreds years ago and yet no one has been able to disprove it. Billions of books have been written - but not another one like the Quran.

(2) Incorruptible:

It is the only religious sacred writing which has been in circulation
for such a long time and yet remains as pure as it was in the
beginning. The Quran was kept intact. Nothing was added to it;
nothing was changed in it; and nothing was taken away from it ever
since it was completely revealed 1400 years ago.

(3) Unsurpassable:

The Quran is God's final revelation to humankind. God revealed the
Torah to Moses, the Psalms to David, the Gospel to Jesus, and
finally the Quran to Muhammad. Peace be upon all of them. No other book will come from God to surpass his final revelation.

(4) Indisputable:

The Quran withstands the test of time and scrutiny. No one can
dispute the truth of this book. It speaks about past history and
turns out right. It speaks about the future in prophecies and it
turns out right. It mentions details of physical phenomena which
were not known to people at the time; yet later scientific discoveries
confirm that the Quran was right all along. Every other book needs
to be revised to accord with modern knowledge. The Quran alone is never contradicted by a modern discovery.

(5) Your Roadmap for Life and Afterlife:

The Quran is the best guidebook on how to structure your life. No
other book presents such a comprehensive system involving all
aspects of human life and endeavor. The Quran also points out the way to secure everlasting happiness in the afterlife. It is your roadmap
showing how to get to paradise.

(6) God's Gift of Guidance:

God has not left you alone. You were made for a reason. God tells
you why he made you, what he demands from you, and what he has in store for you. If you operate a machine contrary to it's manufacture
specification you will ruin that machine. What about you? Do you
have an owner's manual for you? The Quran is from your function for
success lest you fail to function. It is a healing mercy from God.
It satisfies the soul, and cleans the heart. It removes doubts and
brings peace.

(7) Your Calling Card to Communicate with God:

Humans are social creatures. We love to communicate with other
intelligent life. The Quran tells us how to communicate with the
source of all intelligence and the source of all life- the One God.
The Quran tells us who God is, by what name we should address God,
and the way in which to communicate with God. Are these not seven
sufficient reasons for reading the Quran?

Doing Quran recitation is the religious duty of every Muslim.  In saheed Sunnah, it is encouraged to do the recitation of Quran in a melodious voice by the holy Quran reciter by making the voice more melodious and interesting. Reading quran and Making it melodious does not mean that it should be made more in singing tone but once should at least recite and read quranic Arabic in a good tone so that he/she himself feels good while listening to it and others also feel good while listening to it.
