The Book he was sent with is the Qur’an categorically the best and the most sacred of all books, the only book on the face of the earth that is perfect and that is free from any and all defects
Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) and his Book
The Book he was sent with is the Qur’an categorically the best and the most sacred of all books, the only book on the face of the earth that is perfect and that is free from any and all defects. Not a, line, not a word, nay, not even a letter of falsehood can be found in any of its pages; Which is not surprising, considering that it was revealed by the All-Wise, the One Who is worthy of all praise. Everything about the Qur’an - its meanings, the ordering of its words, the arrangement of its chapters, the legal rulings it contains - is perfect.
What is more, it is a blessed Book: One is blessed when one recites it, when one contemplates its meanings, when one uses it to cure one’s physical and spiritual ailments, when people turn to it to judge their disputes, and when one applies its teachings. For each of its letters that one recites, one receives ten rewards.
The Qur’an is the best of companions, being always available, truthful, comforting, trustworthy, and beneficial. It has about it a quality of sweetness. It surpasses all else, but is never surpassed itself. It is neither magic nor poetry nor the speech of man; rather, it is the speech of Allah: From Him it emanated, and to Him. it shall return. That most trusted of Angels, Jibreel came down with it to the heart of the Messenger of Allah .
The Qur’an was revealed in clear Arabic. To all who know the Arabic language, it is the standard of eloquence, and yet it is a standard that no man can meet or equal or reproduce in any way. It is, moreover, guidance, mercy, an admonition, light, a clear proof, and a cure for what is in the hearts of men. It is divinely protected, so that, no matter how much Islam’s enemies try to corrupt or change its verses, it cannot be changed in the least: Allah will always protect it from any additions or deletions. As such, the Qur’an is an eternal and lasting, miracle.
The Qur’an is a protection for those who follow it; a means of salvation for those who apply its teachings; a gateway towards happiness for those who follow its guidance; and a door to ultimate success for those who turn to it for judgment in every aspect of their lives. The Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) said: “Recite the Qur’an: for indeed, it will come as an intercessor for its people (for the people who recite it and apply its teachings) on the Day of Resurrection. ” According to another narration, the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) said: “The best among you is he who learns the Qur’an and teaches it (to others)." And according to yet another narration, the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) said: “Verily, through this Book, Allah raises certain people; and, through it, He lowers others.”
It is the Book that has confiited poets, silenced philosophers, struck dumb the most eloquent of people, amazed scholars, and left speechless the wise.
(Verily, this Qur’an guides to that which is most just and right...)
(Qur ’an 17: 9)
