The prophet (pbh) gave the sahabah and the whole Ummah the glad tiding the quran one end of it is with Allah subahnau wa tala and the other end is with you as a result hold fast to it you would never be lead astray you will never parish *.

Allah is the all hearer, all seer. so imagine Allah spoke the Quran and commanded angel Gibrel to reveal it to the prophet (pbh).

Verse of the Quran ( Allah created mankind and jinn to worship him)

عبادة: has 2 essential Pillars 1) the perfect love that a slave should have for Allah subhanah wa tala.

2) total and perfect submission to the creator of heaven and the earth.

Ponder~~ How can you love Allah if you do Allah perfectly if you don't know His words, the message.

Abdullah ibn Masoud: great companion, who memorized the Quran and specialized in Tafseer of the words of Allah. He said " who ever loves the Quran loves Allah and his messenger".

Claiming to love Allah in your heart means that you must love the words of Allah subhanhu wa tala.

Every messenger that was sent was sent with a miracle so that when the people saw it they would believe that he was sent by Allah. The prophet had miracles that people saw with their own eyes but the living miracle is the Quran it is until the day of judgement.

Ibn Marduwyah recorded that Ata' said,

"I, Ibn Umar and Ubay bin Umayr went to Aishah and entered her room and

there was a screen between us and her. She said, " O Ubayd! What prevents

you from visiting us? He said, " What the poet said, 'Visit every once in

a while and you will be loved more.' Ibn Umar said, "Tell us about the

most unusual thing you witnessed from the Messenger of Allah :saw:"

She cried

and said "All his matters were amazing. One night, he came close to me

until his skin touched my skin and said, "Let me worship my Lord." I

said,"By Allah I love your being close to me. I also love that you worship

your Lord. He used the water-skin and performed ablution, but did not use too

much water. He then stood up in prayer and cried until his beard became wet. He

the prostrated and cried until he made the ground wet. He then laid down on his

side and cried. When Bilal came to alert the Prophet :saw: for the dawn prayer,

he said,

"O

Messenger of Allah! What makes you cry, while Allah has forgiven your previous

and latter sins?"

He said,

"O Bilal, What prevents me from crying, when this night, this Ayah was

revealed to me,

Verily!

In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night

and day, there are indeed signs for men of understanding. [3:190]

Woe to he

who recites it and does not contemplate it."

You have had a good example in God's Messenger for whosoever hopes for God and the Last Day, and remembers God oft. Ahzab 21

1. the prophet went to the poor people of Al Sufah, and these people were the poor of the companions of the prophet they did not have a place to live they used to stay at the back of the masjid, they did not have enough cloth. The prophet said who among you would love to go to Buthan or to Al-'kek 10kilo or so outside the Madina and he would come back with two camels with big hump(very expensive, equivalent of expensive car), without committing a sin or severing the ties of kinship. The people answered " we all would love to do that o'prophet (SWA). Then the prophet directed them to what is even better than that, he said " if one of you would go the masjid and he learns two verses or recites two verse of the Quran it's like two camels, and 3 verses is like 3 camels, and 4 verses like 4 camles.

Q. From this hadith what are the treasures that a muslim could easily posses? Each verse of the Quran is a treasure and we need to treat it that way to be able to change our lives. because Allah has given each verse enough power to be able to change each the course of our lives.

When the last verse of the Surat Al-Baqrah was reveled (i.e Ayat Al-Kursi = the best and the most virtuous ayah)

2. Al-Baqrah (2:284) To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Whether you show what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allah will bring you to account for it. Then He will forgive whom He wills and punish whom He wills, and Allah is over all things competent.
