ولو ان قرانا سيرت به الجبال او قطعت به الارض او كلم به الموتى بل لله الامر جميعا افلم يياس الذين امنوا ان لو يشاء الله لهدى الناس جميعا ولا يزال الذين كفروا تصيبهم بما صنعوا قارعة او تحل قريبا من دارهم حتى ياتي وعد الله ان الله لا يخلف الميعاد ٣١
If there were a recitation that could cause mountains to move, or the earth to split, or the dead to speak, ˹it would have been this Quran˺. But all matters are by Allah’s Will. Have the believers not yet realized that had Allah willed, He could have guided all of humanity? And disasters will continue to afflict the disbelievers or strike close to their homes for their misdeeds, until Allah’s promise comes to pass. Surely Allah never fails in His promise.
Sometimes when I open up my Quran and the book splits into two sides, with the binding in the center, I reflect upon the splitting of the sea and how this Quran in front of me is a miracle too!
We recognize that the splitting of the sea was a great miracle, but do we truly recognize the miracle that sits right in front of us?
This Quran has the ability to change your life, and the lives of those who journey through it with a receptive heart.
Reflect on this when you feel like your heart has become too hard to feel anything, or when the bad habits seem impossible to change, or when your soul feels dead:
'If there were a recitation that could cause mountains to move, or the earth to split, or the dead to speak, ˹it would have been this Quran˺' (13:31)
Don't underestimate the power of having a close connection with the Quran. Open it, read it, reflect on it, listen to it, learn about...
