Indeed, the Noble Qur’aan is the Book of Allaah which is the Seal of all
the Scriptures… it is the course for a complete life that ensures
prosperity and happiness for the servant in this life and in the
Hereafter. It is the inimitable Word of Allaah that is not approached by
falsehood neither from before it nor from behind it.
Before the advent of the Prophet
(sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam), Mankind was in the darkness of shirk
and kufraan (disbelief) until the Messenger (sallallaahu `alayhi wa
sallam) came with the Book of Allaah ‘azza wa jall, to take this entire
universe out from this darkness into the lights of Tawheed and Imaan –
and for this reason, Allaah subhaanahu wa ta’aala has said about this
great Book,
“…(This is) a
Book which We have revealed unto you in order that you might lead
mankind out of darkness into light by their Lord’s Leave to the Path of
the All-Mighty, the Owner of all Praise.”[Ibrahim: 1]
So this Ummah (Nation) turned around with
this Book and turned away from shirk and jahiliyyah (ignorance) towards
guidance and tawheed, away from the worship of creation to the worship
of the Lord of creation and went from being an Ummah that lived along
the margins of life to one that took leadership over Mankind and steered
it towards the success of both worlds.
The Noble Qur’aan came to train up an
Ummah, to produce a society and to build a wellfunctioning system… this
training requires a portion of time and it needs to have an effect. It
needs to act upon a Word and it needs to have a movement that expresses
these actions and effects into a visible reality for the people.
Contemplate over the saying of ‘Aisha
(radi’Allaahu ‘anhaa) when she was asked about the Prophet (sallallaahu
`alayhi wa sallam), she said – as is narrated in Sahih Muslim – “His
character was the Qur’aan.”
So whoever wishes to take on the
character of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam), then he needs
to take hold of the Qur’aan and the Sunnah of the leader of Mankind
(sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam).
