Yesterday, my friend spoke about ayah 102 of Surah Aal Imran.
O you who believe! Fear Allâh (by doing all that He has ordered and by abstaining from all that He has forbidden) as He should be feared. [Obey Him, be thankful to Him, and remember Him always], and die not except in a state of Islâm (as Muslims) with complete submission to Allâh
She discussed its tafseer in brief and how it had impacted her life. I was aware of the tafseer because i had studied the ayah many time before and atleast once in detail. But the beauty of the verse struck me this time. I was reminded of the wonder of the Quran, that it reveals new treasures each time its read. SubhanAllah! Now I'm not linguist, nor a literary expert but even I could appreciate the beauty of this address. The start and end of the ayah is such a contrast, exactly opposite (Iman and Kufr) to one another; and in the middle is the key to staying with Iman. This reminds me of another ayah from Surah Qamar:
And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?
The Quran is filled with such beauty, if only we were to take the time out to ponder.Everyday can provide us wondrous moments like these but we rush through; forgetting how this day can be ibadah for us. May Allah give me and you more intellect to ponder upon His greatness! Ameen
May allah help you in joining the Anbian and Sidiqquen for your kind words related with the beauty of the holy Quran. My Deen Diary is really a great topic for it. I would like to share an android application named as Noorani Qaida that may help in learning Quran with Tajweed. It includes beautiful pictures and voice to help you understand the correct pronunciation.
