Masdar Al-vahy Al-Qur'an (Inspiration of Al-Qur'an)

Assalmu Alaikum,

The following is an excerpt from a Khutbah, Aqua Moula (TUS) has delivered in arabic regarding Al-Qur'an..the kitaab is : Zikr-al-Safar-al-Jameel; published by D.E. Jamaluddin.

Dear respected brothers,

I praise Allah. He guided us with the Deen of Islam, and embillished us with the ornament of Eman, and honoured us with the honour of Al-Qur'an. Falsehood cannot come to it, neither from front nor behind. It is revelation from the Wise the Praiseworthy.

Dear brothers,

Verily Allah has made Al-Qur'an the LIGHT; by following it we seek guidance to dispel the darkness and doubts and ignorance. Allah made Al-Qur'an a CURE for him who listens to it carefully, testifying to its truth. He has made it the LIGHT OF GUIDANCE, whose proof is never extinguished for onlookers. He made it the BEACON of salvation; he who seeks its straight path never goes astray. The hands of perdition do not touch him who holds fast to the handle of its shelter.

Therefore, the Prophet (SAW) and his Ahle Bait and the chosen Ulema of his Ummah have placed great emphasis on the better recitation of Al-Qur'an and deriving pleasure from listening to it. In this way is provided the incentive for contemplating on its verses, and pondering over its clear arguments. So it may become the cause of our outward betterment, and save us from the devilish temptations of our hearts.

Allah (SWT) has said:

"And recite the Quran slowly and thoughtfully"

And the Prophet (SA) said:

"Embillish Al-Quran by your voices. Nothing is more dear to me than the recitation of Al-Quran".

Imam Jafer-al-Sadiq (AS) said:

"When we recite Al-Quran in our homes, we shine for the people of Heaven as stars shine for the people of Earth".

Insha'Allah, may Allah subhana w' Ta3ala provide us with the tofique from Al-Quran, and help us in the proper tarteel of Al-Quran. Allah (SWT) knows I'm the worst example of a mu'min, and insha'Allah through the dua of Moula (TUS) and the guidance of Allah Ta3ala I will be able to stay close upon Siraat al-mustaq'eem, and cleanse myself of my jahl.

Wa'salaam,
Abde Syedna (TUS)
