THE POWER OF LIVING THE QURAN AND SHARING ITS MESSAGE IS AWE INSPIRING 

 I received a beautiful lecture on the first verse of surah Mulk ,which i forwarded to one of my aunts.Instantly  within few minutes i came to know that many others in different parts of the world   had benefitted from it. Subhanallah💖 it was humbling moment to recognise the powerful impact of just one Quranic verse. 

SubhanAllah, this experience made me reflect on how the Quran, though revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W), continues to reach countless hearts around the world, guiding and inspiring.

That night while i was reading quran i reached the following verse from Surah Anaam.

Al-An'am 6 :19 

Ask ˹them, O  Prophet˺, 'Who is the best witness?' Say, 'Allah is! He is a Witness between me and you. And this Quran has been revealed to me so that, with it, I may warn you and whoever it reaches. Do you ˹pagans˺ testify that there are other gods besides Allah?' ˹Then˺ say, 'I will never testify ˹to this˺!' ˹And˺ say, 'There is only One God. And I totally reject whatever ˹idols˺ you associate with Him.'

And the Quran is blessed by Allah or it is Mubaraka...
And the Quran that was revealed to just one person, Prophet Mohammed Sallallahu Alaihiwasallam has reached to millions and millions of people across the world.And verses in it ,if followed or implimented we can see the barakah in our life both in this life and hereafter.

In the same Surah ,Allah assures us that ;
'Whoever comes with a good deed will be rewarded tenfold. But whoever comes with a bad deed will be punished for only one. None will be wronged.'

HOLD ON TO THE QURAN,WHICH IS BLESSED TO GAIN MORE IN DUNYA AND AKHIRA.

A Blessed Book

In his biographical encyclopaedia of Hanbali scholars, Al-haafidh ibn Rajab included the following words from Dhiya' al-Maqdisi about his teacher Ibrahim ibn 'Abd al-Wahid al-Maqdisi:

[قال: وأوصاني وقت سفري، فقال: أكثر من قراءة القرآن، ولا تتركه فإنه يتيسر لك الذي تطلبه على قدر ما تقرأ، قال: فرأيت ذلك وجربته كثيرا، فكنت إذا قرأت كثيرا تيسر لي من سماع الحديث وكتابته الكثير، وإذا لم أقرأ لم يتيسر لي.]

Dhiya' said: He gave me advice about how to use my time while traveling [in pursuit of knowledge] by saying:

'Recite the Qur'an abundantly, don't leave it off. The more that you recite, the easier what you are seeking will be made for you.'

Dhiya' said: I found that to be true and have done it many times. When I would recite a lot, it became easy for me to listen and write down many hadith, but when I didn't recite it was not easy for me.

[Dhayl Tabaqat al-Hanabilah 3/205]
