In this great walk of life,the greatest blessingand the most powerful and miraculousthing exist on the surface of the earth is the great book of Allah Almighty, The Quran, The mighty rope, the wise guide, the book above every book. All the praises of Allah the Creator and the Sustainer of the world. We seek his help from the evils of ourselves.
The Quran is such a Kalam of Allah (SWT), blessed with great qualities that will last forever. Ramazan and the Holy Quran have a great relationship. The Quran, the words of Allah Almighty, were also revealed in this month of Ramazan. Allah Almighty has made this month of Ramazan a very blessed. If you know that such and such a time is blessed, then consider it blessed. Take advantage of every moment of this holy month. Fill your lap with the blessed days, nights and hours of honor come in Ramazan. Improve your personality. Try to improve your life. Try to encompass its blessings, mercy, and happiness in your lap. The Quran and Ramazan have a strong association. In this holy month of Ramazan, the most valuable time of the youth should be spent with the Quran. They must read the Quran; follow its instructions for their daily lives and keep pondering its blessed verses. Try to understand and follow to achieve the greatness and elevation in their academic, social, and spiritual lives, In Sha Allah.
This Quran has such a power that whoever is associated with it, Allah Almighty grants him the paths of success, grace and progress. This is His decision and human history is testifying to this. Allah Almighty revealed the Holy Quran in Arabic and the relationship of Arabic with the Quran was connected, and because of this association, the Arabic language was given that permanence. And since this Arabic language came into existence till today, it has stood with high glory. Similarly, whoever adopts the guidance, commands, principles, and rules contained in the Quran, will continue to progress and get the high grace. The more he adopts them, the more the paths of greatness and success will be paved, In Sha Allah.
The main and one of the major purposes of the revelation of the Holy Quran was to guide people on the straight path, as mentioned like that Surah Nisa, (4: 174-175).
In order to eliminate the decline of the Muslim Ummah, we must once again strengthen our relationship with the Holy Quran, and for astrong association and renewed relationship, what better clocks can be found than the clocks of Ramazan.
I invite through this column the top stakeholders of the country, academics, businessmen, students, and especially the youth of the nation, let’s absorb the guidance and the light of the Holy Quran towards our daily lives. Some important lessons and guidance for the youth covered the important aspects of lifein the light of the Quran as follows:
1. Seek the Life of Purification and Do the Good Deeds: One should place Allah at the top of one’s life and prioritize Him above all else. He must have the foundation of Faith by following the Prophet Muhammad (SAAW). Regular Remembrance (Zikr), offering prayers and social welfare towards people. Quran stated “Whoever does good, whether male or female, and is a believer, we will surely bless them with a good life, and We will certainly reward them according to the best of their deeds”. Surah An-Nahl [16: 97].
2. To Deny the Soul from Its Pleasure: This isa great significance and importance of fearing the Majesty of Allah and controlling one’s desires. The people who are conscious of Allah’s Authority and refrain from succumbing to personal lusts and worldly temptations are promised a place in Paradise. Quranic guidance in this regard must be followed “But as for he who feared the Position of his Lord and prevented the soul from (unlawful) inclination, then indeed the paradise shall be his dwelling place”. Surah An-Nazi’at [79: 40-41].
3. Keep Worldly Possessions with ALLAH: It is a common human tendency for people to accumulate worldly possessions, such as wealth and material goods, which are fleeting and will not remain with them forever. This serves as a reminder that materialistic things and worldly gains are temporary; they exist only for a short time before coming to an end. In contrast, the rewards, blessings, and provisions from Allah are eternal and will endure forever. Therefore, one should strive to engage in acts of charity, as these actions lead to great rewards from Allah Almighty. Quran states “Whatever you have will end, but whatever Allah has is everlasting” Surah An-Nahl [16: 96].
4. Be Something in the Sight of Allah and Remember the Standard of Respect: In this great walk of life people seek their respect, reputation, and honor in the social status, ethnicity, material wealth, and in the perception of others. This is the scale and standard of this materialistic and mortal world. On the other hand, the most respected, valuable and noblest person in the sight of ALLAH Almighty is that person who has fearful awareness, (Taqwa). The true measure of nobility and honor in the sight of Allah is based on one’s level of piety and consciousness (Taqwa). As mentioned, such that in the Quran “Indeed the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the one who has the most fearful awareness (Taqwa)” Surah Al-Hujurat[49: 13].
5. Never Worried about Your Sustenance, Your Share Will Come to You: It is part of human nature to often feel fear and jealousy over what others possess. However, one should learn to be content with the blessings that Allah has bestowed upon them. Allah knows what is truly best for us and the perfect timing for everything. The distribution of livelihood, sustenance, and wealth is based on divine justice. Allah knows better what is truly suitable and beneficial for us. Quran said in this regard, “It is We who divide their livelihood among them in the life of this world” Surah Al-Az-Zukhruf[43: 32].
6. Satan is Your Worst Enemy: In this worldly life, people often hold enmity towards one another, seeking to assert dominance over their opponents. Courts, rural areas, and urban centers are filled with disputes, sometimes over trivial matters. Despite living in misery, individuals persist in their conflicts and grudges. They must strive to live peacefully and foster love for one another. People should recognize that the only true enemy is Satan, the open adversary of humanity. His role is to mislead and tempt individuals toward sin, steering them away from righteousness. Quran Said. “Indeed, Satan is an enemy to you; so, take him as an enemy” Surah Fatir [35: 06].
7. Allah is the Provider: In this vast journey of life, all provisions and needs, whether for humans, animals, birds, or any creature on the surface of the earth are entirely dependent on Allah and His sustenance. All are under His control and care. Quran Said “There is no moving creature on earth but that its sustenance is dependent on Allah” Surah Hud [11: 06].
8. Allah is Enough for You: People often place their reliance on their resources, political connections, material possessions, and social status. However, the Quran teaches that a believer’s complete trust in Allah is enough. Those who place their trust in Allah will receive His support and sufficiency, no matter the circumstances. This unwavering trust empowers believers to face challenges with confidence and inner peace. Quran Said: “And whoever puts their trust in Allah, then He alone is sufficient for them” Surah At-Talaq [65: 03].
I invite the young minds of our nation to embrace the guidance and light offered by the Holy Quran, seeking healing for their physical, social, and spiritual ailments. The people of our beloved land can only attain grace, greatness, and success when their intentions and actions align with the teachings of the Quran. The youth are the true assets of any nation, and it is very essential to inspire them to turn toward the Holy Quran. May Allah grant us the strength to build and cultivate a strong and pure relationship with this great blessed book, the Holy Quran.
