Finding the Purpose of the Quran

We all have wondered once what is the purpose of the Quran, is it just a book to follow rules?

In this video “The Purpose of Quran”, Ustadha Taimiyyah Zubair explains that the Quran’s revelation to the Prophet (PBUH) is the blessing send for all of us and how to dig deeply into it to understand its function and meaning.

Reflecting upon the Quran is a must to keep inner peace and feel connected to Allah.

Alongside reading the Quran, it is always very useful to learn about the context to put things in perspective. Sometimes you read the Quran and the verses aren’t meaningful to you, but later on you will come across a situation that will remind you of these verses and will help you to make sense of it inshaAllah.

This is a book which we have revealed to you oh Prophet (PBUH) so that you bring people out of darkness into light

Light in arabic is “NOOR”, a word that is recurrent in the Quran.

She quotes an aya from the QURAN ( Sourat 14  Ibrahim / verse 1 )

Transcription:

[…]first of all we see in this ayah that Allah (subhana we taala) tells us that He is the one who has revealed this book and i want you to think about this… that the Quran is the revelation, it isthe word, it is the speech of the Creator, the owner of this universe

And explains the divine dimension of the Quran:

Transcription:

[…] This is the reason why the Quran is better than all what people gather because everything that people accumulate, whether it is dollars or gold or property or whatever…  it may be anything that people accumulate, it is from this world and the Quran is the speech of Allah

[…]It is literally from out of this world because everything we see is the creation of Allah, but the Quran is actually the word of Allah, iit is the speech of Allah and in this ayah Allah (subhana we taala)  tells us about the purpose of the revelation of the Quran.

She explains that the Quran is for all of us, to shed light on our lives and the problems and pain we will have go through. The verses of the Quran are here to heal you and give you hope.

Transcription:

[…] bring people out of darkness into light[…]

[…]The fact is that all of us experience darkness in our lives and this darkness could be of different kind.

It could be the darkness of despair, it could be the darkness of sadness, it could be the darkness of confusion, of doubts, of ignorance, not knowing what is right what is wrong and the Quran constantly brings people out of darkness.

It brings us hope when we’re feeling despair, it brings us delight and joy when we’re feeling sad, it brings us clarity when we find ourselves in confusion.
