Heart Of Web

Unprecedented technological advancement has served humanity quite brilliantly, especially since past several decades. The same unprecedented technological advancement, on the other hand, has also served to inflict restlessness, hopelessness, greed, meanness, and social isolation as well. Today, people surrounded by countless superficial means of distraction, are increasingly becoming socially alienated from each other.

We see parents and children living in the same house seeing and interacting each other to a minimal degree. We see children engaged with different kinds of false interactions with fake virtual identities, dedicating hours and hours of their time, but the same children get irritated when they need to interact with their parents for a few minutes.

Thus, we see technological advancement affecting people socially and morally in both ways, i.e. positively as well as negatively. Negative impact of technological advancement leads people to immense social suffering, while the same technological advancement when used positively can serve to transform lives completely.

The concept of live quran can be the best example of positive use of technology. Currently, it is serving thousands of people all across the world in bringing them closer to the ultimate reality of life, i.e. the Mighty Allah. For those who want a positive outcome of technological advancement, this innovative concept is best of the example one can have.

It is not merely about fulfillment of a religious obligation, but it is about learning the best possible way of living your life, as guided by Allah Almighty in this miraculous book known as “Holy Quran”. Look what Allah (SWT) says about Quran Himself:

Yunus [10:57].  O mankind! There has come to you a good advice from your Lord (i.e. the Qur’an, enjoining all that is good and forbidding all that is evil), and a healing for that (disease of ignorance, doubt, hypocrisy and differences,) Which is in your breasts, – a guidance and a mercy (explaining lawful and unlawful things) for the believers.

Therefore, if you also want to seek guidance from the ultimate source of guidance, resorting to live Quran can be the best solution that you can have.

Islam is the last religion Allah Almighty has chosen to serve as a path that helps people on the most virtuous path leading them to the most gracious God. In fact, this is what Allah Almighty Himself reveals to us through a verse in Quran:

This day, I have perfected your religion for you and completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion…” (Holy Qur’an, 5:3)

Now, it is duty of every person alive to learn about this religion chosen by God, and the best way to do so is following the data and content that Allah Almighty claims to be His, which is in fact nothing else but Holy Quran:

“Indeed it is We who have sent down the Quran, and indeed it is Us who shall preserve it.” (Surah 15:9)

All these facts point towards one conclusion, i.e. Quran education is necessary for Muslims (or anyone who wants to seek the path leading to Allah Almighty). This is not simply because Allah wants people to learn more about religious principles (which are in fact part of Holy Quran), but also because He has descended Quran as an absolute guidance that can help people in any kind of situation:

Al-Araf [7:52] For We had certainly sent unto them a book, based on knowledge, which We explained in detail― a guide and a mercy to all who believe.

It is for reasons like these that one of the first concerns of Muslim parents all over the world are for arranging best possible Quran education for their children.

(In the Name of Allah (SWT), Most Gracious, Most Merciful, all praise and thanks are due to Allah, Lord of the Realms and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger (SAWS) and upon all his family and companions)

We as Muslims are often pondering about certain things for which there are none but the lack of knowledge and lack of attention at that moment of time where we should/could have learned the very precise details about our religion, ISLAM.

‘Ihdinas Siratul Mustaqeem’ meaning “Guide us to the Straight Way” is what we seek from Allah (SWT) and this is what we recite over and over again but the fact is that there can be nothing more or less than mere repetition as if we seek guidance, but not knowingly we are to believe that we should understand the very Islamic, Arabic language.

It does not mean that you memorize the translation of Quran from here and there, but what I am referring to you is the need to understand the very wording of the Quran and Salah that you pray behind an Imaam or on your own you are to realize and understand the meaning of Quran to know and practice what Allah (SWT) expects us to do.

This is where the idea of Muslim Schools came in to existence and Making The Real Difference in which you are to know that there could be none but the fact that there are several Islamic schools who are determined to help you in teaching, learning and understanding of Quran and this is where the stress initially is based upon the language which if understood would lead you to identify the correct guidance of the recommended path.

(In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful, all praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger)

To this context we all know how we are told about different sins in ISLAM and to certain context we are told How Gambling Is Considered To Be an Evil and what is the level of self control on our wishes and desires, the remembrance of death and our Lord, ALLAH (SWT) has mentioned again and again in the Holy Quran. The following extracted quotes will help you to understand the very precise concerns from our Lord.

ALLAH (SWT) The Exalted says:

“Everyone shall taste death. And only on the Day of Resurrection shall you be paid your wages in full. And whoever is removed away from the Fire and admitted to Jannah, he indeed is successful. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception (a deceiving thing).” (3:185) Holy Quran)

In addition, ALLAH (SWT) says: “No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he will die…” (31:34) Holy Quran)

For which reason ALLAH (SWT) tells us “…when their term comes, neither can they delay nor can they advance it an hour (or a moment)” (16:61) Holy Quran)

“O you who believe! Let not your properties or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah. And whosoever does that, then they are the losers. And spend (in charity) of that with which We have provided you, before death comes to one of you, and he says: `My Rubb! If only You would give me respite for a little while

(i.e., return to the worldly life), then I should give Sadaqah (i.e., Zakat) of my wealth, and be among the righteous [i.e., perform Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) and other good deeds].’ And Allah grants respite to none when his appointed time (death) comes. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.” (63:9-11) Holy Quran)

“Until, when death comes to one of them (those who join partners with Allah), he says: `My Rubb! Send me back. So that I may do good in that which I have left behind!’ No! It is but a word that he speaks; and behind them is Barzakh (a barrier) until the Day when they will be resurrected.

Then, when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no kinship among them that Day, nor will they ask of one another. Then, those whose Scales (of good deeds) are heavy, they are the successful. And those whose Scales (of good deeds) are light, they are those who lose their ownselves, in Hell will they abide.

The Fire will burn their faces, and therein they will grin, with displaced lips (disfigured). `Were not My Verses (this Qur’an) recited to you, and then you used to deny them?’ They will say: `Our Rubb! Our wretchedness overcame us, and we were (an) erring people. `Our Rubb! Bring us out of this; if ever we return (to evil), then indeed we shall be Zalimun (polytheists, oppressors, unjust, wrong-doers, etc?

He (Allah) will say: `Remain you in it with ignominy! And speak you not to Me!’ Verily! There was a party of My slaves, who used to say: `Our Rubb! We believe, so forgive us, and have mercy on us, for you are the Best of all who show mercy!’ `But you took them for a laughing stock, so much so that they made you forget My remembrance while you used to laugh at them! Verily! I have rewarded them this Day for their patience, they are indeed the ones that are successful.

He (Allah) will say: `What number of years did you stay on earth?’ They will say: `We stayed a day or part of a day. Ask of those who keep account.’ He (Allah) will say: `You stayed not but a little, if you had only known! Did you think that We had created you in play (without any purpose), and that you would not be brought back to Us?”’ (23:99-115) Holy Quran)

(In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful, all praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger)

Quran is the book of light for every person in this world. Quran is a Gift from Allah to all the Muslims of the world and everyone who wants to gain benefit from it. Quran is the miracle itself. Holy Quran is not a book written by any human but Quran is words of Allah Almighty the creator of this world.

There are many Religions in this world and every religion has its own Holy book. Quran is the Holy book for Muslims, Bestowed upon Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) the last messenger of Allah. This book contains all there is to know how to live a life so that we may live peacefully and have a good afterlife.

The greatest Miracle and Dare of the Quran to Mankind is that it has been in this world for 1400 years and not a single world has changed in Quran. All the other books are being altered by humans because they were written by humans. But Quran is it in its original form and whoever tries to alter its content is destroyed by Allah.

Quran contains the history of human kind and it is explained so accurately that no one and say that this is wrong. Every story in Quran teaches us a good moral and tells us how to live. There are a lot of science facts some of which have been recently discovered. This is another proof that Quran is the book of Miracles.

In Quran there are different words used for paradise such as, Jannat-ul-Khuld, Darul as-salam, jannat-ul-Firdous and so. The word jannat has the meaning of a Garden. On the Day of Judgment it will be decided by Allah Almighty that who has paradise in his fate and who will go to Hell (jahanum). No man can see the paradise (jannat) until the Judgment Day. However, Allah Almighty has presented a very detailed description of paradise in Quran. Upon reading Quran one can have an imaginary picture of paradise.

Here are a few verses of Quran relating to the description of paradise.

“(Here is) a Parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised: in it are rivers of water incorruptible; rivers of milk of which the taste never changes; rivers of wine, a joy to those who drink; and rivers of honey pure and clear. In it there are for them all kinds of fruits; and Grace from their Lord….” 47:15.

“[They will sit] on gold-encrusted thrones of happiness, reclining upon them, facing one another in [love]. Immortal youths will wait upon them with goblets, and ewers, and cups filled with water from unsullied springs by which their minds will not be clouded and which will not make them drunk; and with fruit of any kind that they choose, and with flesh of any fowl that they may desire.” 56:15-21:

“And [accompanying them will be their] companions pure, most beautiful of eye, like unto pearls hidden in their shells. [This will be] a reward for what they did [during life]. No empty talk will they hear there, nor any call to sin, but only the tiding of inner soundness and peace.” 56:22-26:

There are so many other verses of Quran in which paradise has been portrayed in a lovely manner.  Those who believe in Allah, his messenger and have lead the life on earth to the will of Allah will be given the right by Allah almighty to enter paradise.
