THE LIVING MESSAGES OF THE QURAN

Has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allah and what has come down of the truth? And let them not be like those who were given the Scripture before, and a long period passed over them, so their hearts hardened; and many of them are defiantly disobedient.” (Al Hadeed:16

How many hearts have long forgotten remembrance so that they have dried up and hardened, While the divine call still knocks at the door of return... Is it not time for them to humble themselves?

Has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allah and what has come down of the truth? And let them not be like those who were given the Scripture before, and a long period passed over them, so their hearts hardened; and many of them are defiantly disobedient.” (Al Hadeed:16

Heedlessness hardens hearts, and remembrance softens them and brings them back to life.

Don't wait for the world to extinguish your flame... Return now.

It is a light for the heart, a deterrent for the soul, and a way up to steadfastness.

The more you remember Him sincerely, the nearer to Him you become.

“Do they not then reflect upon the Quran, or are there locks upon their hearts?” [Muhammad: 24]

The Quran is not a book to be read only, but rather to be meditated... Whoever does not meditate its meanings, is like one whose heart is locked and cannot be opened.

“Do they not then reflect upon the Quran, or are there locks upon their hearts?” [Muhammad: 24]

“And if We had made it a foreign [i.e., non-Arabic] Quran, they would have said, "Why are its verses not explained in detail [in our language]? Is it a foreign [recitation] and an Arab [messenger]?" Say, "It is, for those who believe, a guidance and cure." And those who do not believe – in their ears is deafness, and it is upon them blindness. Those are being called from a distant place.” [ Fussilat:44]

The Quran is not reserved to one language or one people, it is rather guidance and healing for every believing heart.

And whoever turns away from it, there will be an unbridgeable gap between them and the truth.

Hearts understand, but ears do not...

Whoever opens their heart to the truth will find light in the Quran, and whoever closes their heart will not hear even if all the verses are recited to them.
