00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.769
Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

00:00:08.769 --> 00:00:13.300
The objectives of the Noble Qur'an

00:00:13.300 --> 00:00:17.300
The Noble Qur'an has numerous objectives and aims.

00:00:17.300 --> 00:00:22.300
Among them are guidance, its miraculous nature, and worship through its recitation.

00:00:22.300 --> 00:00:27.300
It includes glad tidings for the believers and warnings for the disbelievers and hypocrites.

00:00:27.300 --> 00:00:31.300
And it clarifies the path of the believers and the path of the criminals.

00:00:31.300 --> 00:00:34.299
And ruling and governing humanity by it.

00:00:34.299 --> 00:00:37.299
And strengthening hearts and finding tranquility in it.

00:00:37.299 --> 00:00:39.299
And so forth.

00:00:39.299 --> 00:00:42.299
However, its primary objectives among those mentioned

00:00:42.299 --> 00:00:44.299
are the first three.

00:00:44.299 --> 00:00:47.340
Worship through its recitation.

00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:49.460
For Allah, the Mighty and Majestic,

00:00:49.460 --> 00:00:53.460
has ordained a great reward for reciting the Noble Qur'an.

00:00:53.460 --> 00:00:55.460
Allah, the Exalted, says:

00:00:55.460 --> 00:00:59.460
“Lo! those who read the Scripture of Allah, and establish worship, and spend of that which We have bestowed on them secretly and openly, they look forward to imperishable gain,” (35:29)

00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:04.459
"And spend from what We have provided for them, secretly and publicly."

00:01:04.459 --> 00:01:08.459
“Lo! those who read the Scripture of Allah, and establish worship, and spend of that which We have bestowed on them secretly and openly, they look forward to imperishable gain,” (35:29)

00:01:08.459 --> 00:01:13.459
“That He will pay them their wages and increase them of His grace. Lo! He is Forgiving, Responsive.” (35:30)

00:01:13.459 --> 00:01:16.590
"Indeed, He is Forgiving and Appreciative."

00:01:16.590 --> 00:01:19.590
And Mutarrif ibn Abdullah used to say,

00:01:19.590 --> 00:01:22.659
"This is the verse of the reciters."

00:01:22.659 --> 00:01:25.659
And the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

00:01:25.659 --> 00:01:28.659
"Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah

00:01:28.659 --> 00:01:30.659
shall have a good deed recorded for him,

00:01:30.659 --> 00:01:33.659
and a good deed is multiplied ten times.

00:01:33.659 --> 00:01:36.659
I do not say that 'Alif, Lam, Meem' is one letter,

00:01:36.659 --> 00:01:38.659
but rather Alif is a letter,

00:01:38.659 --> 00:01:40.659
Lam is a letter,

00:01:40.659 --> 00:01:42.659
and Meem is a letter."

00:01:42.659 --> 00:01:44.659
Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi.

00:01:44.819 --> 00:01:47.819
And he, peace be upon him, said:

00:01:47.819 --> 00:01:51.819
"The one who is proficient in the Qur'an will be with the noble, righteous scribes.

00:01:51.819 --> 00:01:56.819
And the one who recites the Qur'an and stumbles over it, while it is difficult for him,

00:01:56.819 --> 00:01:58.819
shall have two rewards."

00:01:58.819 --> 00:02:00.819
Agreed upon.

00:02:00.819 --> 00:02:03.140
The miraculous nature (I'jaz).

00:02:03.140 --> 00:02:05.140
And the fundamental purpose of it

00:02:05.140 --> 00:02:10.139
is to be a sign and proof of the Messenger's truthfulness in his call.

00:02:10.139 --> 00:02:13.139
The explanation of its miraculous nature has already been detailed

00:02:13.139 --> 00:02:19.139
in the concepts from 140 to 146.

00:02:19.139 --> 00:02:21.550
Guidance.

00:02:21.550 --> 00:02:25.620
And this is the principal objective of the Noble Qur'an.

00:02:25.620 --> 00:02:30.620
And all other objectives of the Qur'an, whether mentioned or not,

00:02:30.620 --> 00:02:34.620
can be encompassed under this principal objective.
