(2)”A Book revealed unto thee,- So let thy heart be oppressed no more by any difficulty on that account,- that with it thou mightest warn (the erring) and teach the Believers). “
(3)” Follow (O men!) the revelation given unto you from your Lord, and follow not, as protectors, other than Him. Little it is ye remember of admonition.”
<i>[The Quran , 7:2-3]</i>
<b> </b>
كِتَابٌ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ فَلاَ يَكُن فِي صَدْرِكَ حَرَجٌ مِّنْهُ لِتُنذِرَ بِهِ وَذِكْرَى لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ (2)
اتَّبِعُواْ مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ مِن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاء قَلِيلاً مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ (3)
-> In these 2 verses we have a clear message from Allah that He sent the Quran and the prophet should not be hesitant to warn the people using it ”TO WARN AND TEACH THE BELIEVERS”:<b>” Book revealed unto thee,- So let thy heart be oppressed no more by any difficulty on that account,- that with it thou mightest warn (the erring) and teach the Believers).”</b>. This is very important note, because the Quran is what the prophet have used to teach and warn THE BELIVERS , then Allah is telling us to follow the Quran and NEVER TAKE ANY ONE “WHATSOEVER” as a Protector other than Allah:<b>” Follow (O men!) the revelation given unto you from your Lord, and follow not, as protectors, other than Him.”</b> however most humans:<b>” Little it is ye remember of admonition.”</b>, a very strong message to use the Quran as the major source of belief.

”A. L. R. (This is) a Book, with verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning), further explained in detail,- from One Who is Wise and Well-acquainted (with all things):”
<i>[The Quran , 11:1]</i>
<b> </b>
الَر كِتَابٌ أُحْكِمَتْ آيَاتُهُ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتْ مِن لَّدُنْ حَكِيمٍ خَبِيرٍ (1)
-> We have seen how Allah stressed in a couple of verses that the Quran is the major source of belief and guidance, we have also read that Allah made it easy as well He explained it within itself, in this verse we see that Allah also saying: <b>” (This is) a Book, with verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning), further explained in detail,- from One Who is Wise and Well-acquainted (with all things):”</b>, ie, the Quran has verses basic or fundamental “established meaning” and yet Allah further explained it in details, well if you read the Quran a lot you will see the miracle in how the verses relate to each others and NEVER conflict despite the additional info they add to each other to bring a complete story, many things are repeated numerous times using different words with the same exact meanings.
<b></b>
”A. L. R. These are the verses of Revelation,- of a Qur'an that makes things clear.”
<i>[The Quran , 15:1]</i>
<b> </b>
الر تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْحَكِيمِ (1)
-> A short verse to tell us that the Quran makes things clear:<b>” These are the verses of Revelation,- of a Qur'an that makes things clear.”</b>
<b> </b>
”Alif Lam Ra. These are the verses of the Book that makes (things) manifest.”
<i>[The Quran , 12:1]</i>
<b> </b>
الر تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ (1)
-> Same is confirmed here, <b>”These are the verses of the Book that makes (things) manifest.”</b>, but please have a look at the last 2 verses and compare the Arabic words by shape, you will see the first 4 words are the same : <b>” الر تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ”</b>, however the last word was different, the first one was <b>” الْحَكِيمِ”</b> and was translated “<b>Clear</b>”, the second one was <b>” الْمُبِينِ”</b> and was translated “<b>Manifest</b>” which also means “<b>Clear</b>”, however the first word should be “the book that is WISE or full of wisdom”, and the second should be “the book that makes things CLEAR”, and this is just a small translation error, we have to investigate every single word in the Quran, this is what Allah has told us to do with His Quran.
<b> </b>
”Alif Lam Ra. (This is) a Book which We have revealed to you that you may bring forth men, by their Lord's permission from utter darkness into light-- to the way of the Mighty, the Praised One,”
<i>[The Quran , 14:1]</i>
<b> </b>
الَر كِتَابٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ لِتُخْرِجَ النَّاسَ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَى صِرَاطِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ (1)
-> This verse also shows us the objective of the Quran as the main tool for the prophet to bring the people out of the darkness to the light<b>” (This is) a Book which We have revealed to you that you may bring forth men, by their Lord's permission from utter darkness into light”</b>, and what is the light? It is: <b>“to the way of the Mighty, the Praised One”</b>, ie the Quran is the main and most important source to know the way to Allah.
<b></b>
”And We sent down the Book to thee for the express purpose, that thou shouldst make clear to them those things in which they differ, and that it should be a guide and a mercy to those who believe.”
<i>[The Quran , 16:64]</i>
<b> </b>
وَمَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ إِلاَّ لِتُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ الَّذِي اخْتَلَفُواْ فِيهِ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ (64)
-> The verse tells us that the Quran was revealed so people can resolve things in which they differ :<b>” And We sent down the Book to thee for the express purpose, that thou shouldst make clear to them those things in which they differ,”</b>, as well its purpose :<b>” and that it should be a guide and a mercy to those who believe.”</b>, another strong message that highlights the importance of the Quran by Allah “The Quran Author”
<b></b>
”We have revealed for you (O men!) a book in which is a Message for you: will ye not then understand?”
<i>[The Quran , 21:10]</i>
<b> </b>
لَقَدْ أَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ كِتَابًا فِيهِ ذِكْرُكُمْ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ (10)
-> a straight forward verse :<b>” We have revealed for you (O men!) a book in which is a Message for you”</b>, but look how the verse is ending with wonder: <b>” : will ye not then understand?”</b>, it is like come on, please understand.
<b></b>
”Surely they who recite the Book of Allah and keep up prayer and spend out of what We have given them secretly and openly, hope for a gain which will not perish.”
<i>[The Quran , 35:29]</i>
<b> </b>
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَنفَقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ سِرًّا وَعَلَانِيَةً يَرْجُونَ تِجَارَةً لَّن تَبُورَ (29)
-> we can see here that Allah is describing the belief in Him as we are tradesman who want to trade and end up with profit, so those tradesmen need to do the following to really profit: NUMBER 1: <b>“ recite the Book of Allah”</b> , NUMBER 2 :<b>” keep up prayer”</b> NUMBER 3: <b>” spend out of what We have given them secretly and openly”</b> ie, giving money to the poor, and this tradesmen hoping: <b>” hope for a gain which will not perish.”</b>, but can you see that reading the Quran was NUMBER 1?
<b> </b>
”Then We have given the Book for inheritance to such of Our Servants as We have chosen: but there are among them some who wrong their own souls; some who follow a middle course; and some who are, by Allah's leave, foremost in good deeds; that is the highest Grace.”
<i>[The Quran , 35:32]</i>
<b> </b>
ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا الْكِتَابَ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا فَمِنْهُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِ وَمِنْهُم مُّقْتَصِدٌ وَمِنْهُمْ سَابِقٌ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ذَلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْكَبِيرُ (32)
-> This verse is very important, it divides the believers into 3 groups in the judgment day, but I will not discuss this with you now but I would love to discuss this verse in great details later with all of you please, the main important point I want to mention here is the people who never saw the prophet (pbuh), ONLY INHERTITED the Quran : <b>” Then We have given the Book for inheritance to such of Our Servants as We have chosen”</b>, i.e. we only have this evidence in our hand
<b></b>
”I swear By the Book that makes things clear;”
<i>[The Quran , 44:2]</i>
<b> </b>
وَالْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ (2)
-> A small verse that Allah is swearing with the Quran than makes things clear: <b> “I swear By the Book that makes things clear;”</b>
<b></b>
”Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (Between right and wrong)……”
<i>[The Quran , 2:185]</i>
<b> </b>
شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِيَ أُنزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِّنَ الْهُدَى وَالْفُرْقَانِ ..... (185)
-> In this verse “a popular one in the Quran”, Allah is telling us that He revealed the Quran in the month of Ramadan :<b>” Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an,”</b>, and why Allah sent the Quran down: <b>” as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (Between right and wrong)”</b>, very clear verse of the importance of the Quran.
<b></b>
”Do they not consider the Qur'an (with care)? Had it been from other Than Allah, they would surely have found therein Much discrepancy.”
<i>[The Quran , 4:82]</i>
<b> </b>
أَفَلاَ يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ غَيْرِ اللّهِ لَوَجَدُواْ فِيهِ اخْتِلاَفًا كَثِيرًا (82)
-> This is the verse that the enemy of Islam are obsessed with, I brought it here, because it tells us a very important note, it tells us, if this Quran was made by any other source, we would have find it full of corruptions, <b>” Do they not consider the Qur'an (with care)? Had it been from other Than Allah, they would surely have found therein Much discrepancy.”</b>, this really means that any other book or hadith may be corrupt if Allah was not the Author of it.
<b>To be coontinued.......
