The Holy Qur’an is the Greatest Living Miracle that Allah has blessed us with. It comprises the ultimate and undeniable proof for mankind that Allah Ta’ala does indeed exist; and complements the fact that he has sent His most beloved and final messenger as a teacher and guide for each and every person until the Day of Judgement.
The Ahaadeeth of our Noble Prophet Muhammad (Allah’s Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him are replete with narrations expounding the great significance of Reciting and Practising upon the Qur’an Majeed.
It is obligatory upon Muslims to Learn to Read Quran and, to teach it to others. When a Muslim teaches Quran to others he, or she, is greatly rewarded for it. There are Muslims who practice their religion – or Deen (a complete way of life) as it is called in Islam – and those who don’t. Those who practice their religion Learn to Read The Quran, recite it regularly, and if they have children, they also teach them how to read Quran.
The state of Muslim nations after World Wars I and II, along with the reciprocal rise of Western powers due to their technological, military, and economic advancements, saw a reversal of the flow emigrants between the two worlds. There had been a period of considerable length of time when the flow had been in the opposite direction, that is, from West towards the East. People from all over Europe used to come to Muslim lands to learn various sciences, such as mathematics, astronomy, medicine, etc. But now the trend had been reversed.
One miracle, among the many miracles of the Quran, is that its meanings and recitation usually have a huge impact on a person’s heart, regardless of whether one recites the Quraan oneself, or is listening to someone else’s recitation, even if the listener has never ever heard a single word of the Quraan before. For a Muslim, it is a wajib (compulsory) to listen attentively when the Quraan is being recited in his, or her presence.
