GUARANTEE AS ​​A PROVISION:

In the Qur'an, a pregnant Muslim has heard the word of God direct and encourage, comfort and blasphemy, promising righteous mercy and eternal bliss, while threatening the wicked with eternal wrath and torment. For Muslims, the Qur'an is the word of God, which has entered man's time to build history. According to Islamic sources, the Angel Gabriel appeared to the Prophet Muhammad in 610 CE while in prayer from a cave in Mount Hira, outside Mecca. It is said that at this first meeting, the Angel Gabriel was so oppressed to Muhammad that he felt trapped. The Koran says that an angel then instructed:

Call on the name of your old Master, who creates a man in a robe of blood. Repeat, for your Lord is very great - who was instructed by the pen; he taught man what he could. (Qur'an 96: 1-5)

Muslims say that God has warned the Prophet Muhammad: We will add to you heavy talk, and instruct him to rise all night in prayer, and to remember with fondness what he was told to be, "Lord of the east and west" (Qur'an 73: 5 and 73: 8). To Muslims this "weighty talk" identified the Prophet Muhammad as the last Messenger of God to mankind; the event would have the most positive impact on human history.

The Quran is said to have been transmitted to the Prophet Muhammad in two ways. Muslims believe that it was transmitted through Angel Gabriel. This connection was expressed in small fragments: single verses, groups of verses, and chapters or suras over twenty to twenty-two years. The Islamic Qur'an is not the only word that can be uttered, heard and recorded; and the celestial archetype in which the recited and written Quran is an earthly copy only. The Qur'an in its archetypal celestial form is for Muslims a source of divine revelation throughout human history and is kept by God forever. It is God's covenant with mankind that He established with the children of Adam while they were visions or foundations in the divine realm. The Prophet Muhammad said that he had received this celestial Quran, in addition to being the recipient of revelation. He felt spiritually close, terrified on a hot summer day or sweating on a cold winter's day, and heard a sound like a bell. These sounds disguised themselves into people's names, memorized and recorded.

Muslims also believe that the Qur'an was also sent in part, to the heart of Prophet Muhammad on a "night of determination" (Qur'an 44: 3 and 97: 1), a blessed night for all Muslims. The event sanctified his life and made the Prophet Muhammad an example for Muslims to follow. In the Qur'an, God asked: Am I not your Lord? and those who have chosen to serve God affirm as the Lord answers with the words: Yes, we testify ... (Koran 7: 172). The Koran is a symbol and evidence of this covenant. Its message, it is about Muslims, the strong tenacity of divine sovereignty and the commitment of Muslims.

The Quran as a secular text is tied unequally to the history of Islam. It served as a response to the problems of the Arab world in the time of Prophet Muhammad. The Qur'an was also the answer to the Prophet Muhammad's question about the meaning of human life and the mystery of creation, and was closely linked to the social history of the Muslims of Mecca and, later, to Medina. Many Qur'anic verses are said to be revealed in answer to specific questions or health conditions. The answers given are viewed by Muslims as general principles, moral imperatives, or commands applied to all times and places. The family of the Prophet, directly referred to by the Qur'an (see Qur'an 33:32), is seen by the MuslimIn the Qur'an, a pregnant Muslim has heard the word of God direct and encourage, comfort and blasphemy, promising righteous mercy and eternal bliss, while threatening the wicked with eternal wrath and torment.

Editing of the Quran:

The Qur'an was followed closely and memorized by professing Muslim men and women. However, when the Prophet died in 632 CE, ten years after the Hijra, that is, his migration from Mecca to Medina, the Qur'ans as it is known today, never existed. Verses and chapters, or suras, at that time scattered fragments of the writings of the Prophet Muhammad's authors, were stored in private collections of stones, stones, palm sheets, and leather, in addition to words stored in human memory. It was during the reign of the third Muslim chief (or religious leader) Uthman, who ruled the Muslim community for several generations after the death of the Prophet Muhammad, that the Qur'an was given its usual form, which remains unchanged to this day. The suras are arranged in such a way that, in general, there is a progression from the longest to the shortest chapter. It is that provision which is preserved as the authoritative version of the Qur'an.


It is important that all believing Muslims memorize as much of the Qur'an as possible. The prayer of Muslims in a solitary place in a room or congregation begins with the words of the opening image of the Qur'an (Al-Fatihah). Prayer is considered a way for Muslims to be ready for the word of Allah. This supernatural exchange is clearly revealed in the hadith qudsi, a quote of the Prophet quoting God:

Separate the prayer between me and my servant, my servant will receive whatever he prays for. For when the servant says: 'Praise be to God, the Lord of all beings,' God says: 'My servant has glorified me'. When a servant says: 'You are merciful, jealous,' God says: 'My servant has glorified me ... this is my portion and not his'. (M. Ayoub, The Quran and Its Translators).

Fatihah, the opening scene of the Qur'an, is considered by Muslims as a complete prayer. The first three and a half of its seven verses are a prayer of praise. All that remains is prayers for divine guidance and mercy. Not only the Fatiha but the whole Qur'an is an Islamic prayer. It is also the divine address to Muslims. Therefore, in all prayers, God believes that he reveals himself and the Muslim believer to receive the word of God. Islamic prayer is the connection of man to God through the Qur'an.




QUR'AN AS RECITATION:

The Islamic Qur'an is a source of divine blessing and importance, peace and guidance. Through it, the baby is greeted at birth, through which it is guided by a journey of life, and through it, sent to the final destination. This lengthy pilgrimage through the Qur'an will involve the recitation of the entire Qur'an over a specific period of time or week, month, or longer in accordance with the division of the holy text to be repeated daily. This process is known as Khatm al-Qur'an or its completion. On special occasions, such as the fasting month of Ramadan, the foremost promise to repeat the whole Qur'an by dividing it into thirty equal parts and thirty nights in the holy month of Islam. The Prophet Muhammad is said to have called such a traveler of the Qur'an a "pilgrim traveler". This is because when a follower arrives only, he or she must start again.


Muslims find reciting, memorizing, copying or having a copy of the Qur'an in their homes is a great blessing. Indeed, it is believed that on the day of resurrection, the status of a Muslim man or woman in paradise will be determined by the number of verses the Qur'an memorized during their earthly life. The greatest and most appropriate source of blessing for Muslims is to be found by studying and understanding the principles and principles of the Qur'an. It is said that the Prophet declared: There are no people gathered in one of the houses of God to recite the Book of God and read it at once but that the sakinah (divine peace)
