The objectives of the Noble Qur'an
0:13
The Noble Qur'an has numerous objectives and aims.
0:17
Among them are guidance, its miraculous nature, and worship through its recitation.
0:22
It includes glad tidings for the believers and warnings for the disbelievers and hypocrites.
0:27
And it clarifies the path of the believers and the path of the criminals.
0:31
And ruling and governing humanity by it.
0:34
And strengthening hearts and finding tranquility in it.
0:37
And so forth.
0:39
However, its primary objectives among those mentioned
0:42
are the first three.
0:44
Worship through its recitation.
0:47
For Allah, the Mighty and Majestic,
0:49
has ordained a great reward for reciting the Noble Qur'an.
0:53
Allah, the Exalted, says:
0:55
“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)
0:59
"And spend from what We have provided for them, secretly and publicly."
1:04
“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)
1:08
“That He will pay them their wages and increase them of His grace. Lo! He is Forgiving, Responsive.” (35:30)
1:13
"Indeed, He is Forgiving and Appreciative."
1:16
And Mutarrif ibn Abdullah used to say,
1:19
"This is the verse of the reciters."
1:22
And the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
1:25
"Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah
1:28
shall have a good deed recorded for him,
1:30
and a good deed is multiplied ten times.
1:33
I do not say that 'Alif, Lam, Meem' is one letter,
1:36
but rather Alif is a letter,
1:38
Lam is a letter,
1:40
and Meem is a letter."
1:42
Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi.
1:44
And he, peace be upon him, said:
1:47
"The one who is proficient in the Qur'an will be with the noble, righteous scribes.
1:51
And the one who recites the Qur'an and stumbles over it, while it is difficult for him,
1:56
shall have two rewards."
1:58
Agreed upon.
2:00
The miraculous nature (I'jaz).
2:03
And the fundamental purpose of it
2:05
is to be a sign and proof of the Messenger's truthfulness in his call.
2:10
The explanation of its miraculous nature has already been detailed
2:13
in the concepts from 140 to 146.
2:19
Guidance.
2:21
And this is the principal objective of the Noble Qur'an.
2:25
And all other objectives of the Qur'an, whether mentioned or not,
2:30
can be encompassed under this principal objective.
