THE IMPORTANT OF READING AND UNDERSTANDING THE QUR’AN

By : roudlah4r@gmail.com

Hi Akhi and Ukhti... :)

Every believer is certainly already familiar with this one thing, in particular Muslims. Especially, each letter read it would be reward with ten rewards. The Qur’an is the word sent down by Allah through the Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad saw. The Qur’an is the book a complement to the books of the past such as the Torah, Gospel, Zabur, and the books of other. The Qur’an is a guideline, concepts, as well as the rules of life for human, as is known by all Muslims in this world. All questions and problems that occur listed in this book.

More than that, by reading the Qur’an and followed by the correct understanding, it is expected that the growing conviction of the truth of the Qur’an. Likewise, anyone who listens to the recitation of al-Qur’an will be judge like the people who read al-Qur’an (Samsul Ulum, 2007). So the magnitude of the value of the benefits obtained from the people who read and study the Qur’an.

Without we realize that by reading the Qur’an it can make our heart calm, relax, reduce emotions when we are angry, and much more. Also can reduce the feeling of hunger in the stomach, it can I feel as I am in boarding school by parents. Nevertheless, the problem for these moments that I feel around my neighbourhood is lazy to read this book. The parents just more concerned subjects in the school without considering the lesson in the field of spiritual. In addition, what is worse, the parents do not direct children to learn the Qur’an.

In fact a command from Allah that the first time is for read. Reading is very easy for those who want to can and be patient in the process. However, Allah will not let His servants who are seeking knowledge and a better yet is to secure it even though just one paragraph. Moreover, the Qur’an can lead us to His paradise. The Qur’an is not just for the sake of the world but rather as a provision for us to get His paradise.

Would be much better if the reading Qur’an can understand the content of each verse in the Qur’an that himself and at the same time practice in everyday life. However, the majority of the people around me can read it and not know what the content of the verses of the Qur’an they read. They say that is enough. But, I think it’s not enough. Why? Because I think by knowing and understanding the contents of the content of the verse, we can know that it turned out the problem faced or the number of phenomena that will or have already happened in the now and in the future, this is already explain in the Qur’an.

For example, is about the day of vengeance. Stated in Surah al-ghashiyah which means the Overwhelming Event. Consists of 26 verses and revealed in the city of Makah. Which is reads:

1.      Has the story reached thee, of the overwhelming (Event)?

2.      Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated,

3.      Labouring (hard), weary,

4.      the while they enter the Blazing Fire,

5.      The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring.

6.      No food will there be for them but a bitter

7.      Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.

8.      (Other) faces, that Day, will show pleasure.

9.      With their effort (they are) satisfied

10.  In an elevated garden,

11.  Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.

12.  Within it is a flowing spring.

13.  Within it are couches raised high

14.  And cups put in place

15.  And cushions lined up

16.  And carpets spread around.

17.  Then do they not look at the camels – how they are created?

18.  And at the sky – how it is raised?

19.  And at the mountains – how they are erected?

20.  And at the earth – how it is spread out?

21.  So remind, (O Muhammad); you are only a reminder.

22.  You are not over them a controller.

23.  However, he who turns away and disbelieves –

24.  Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.  

25.   Indeed, to Us is their return.

26.  Then indeed, upon Us is their account.

Hopefully, we are always given the ease by God. Be able to read and understand of the Qur’an. And also able to bring people around to the good. Aamiiin :)
