“This Quran does not bestow its treasures upon the one who does not approach it with this spirit: the spirit of knowledge that leads to action. The Quran hasn't just come to be a book for intellectual pleasure, or a book of literature and art, or a book of tales and history - even though it is all of these - rather, it has come to be a manual for life, a purely divine manual.

“The Quran, in pointing to God's existence, is a universe that speaks, the same way that this universe is a silent Quran.

Muhammad al-Ghazali

“I want to say to all Muslims: Your Quran is your primary source for true beliefs, and the sciences of the cosmos and life are interpreters that deserve pondering and pursuing. The greatness of the Deity shines more in the age of science. Scientific advance is the friend of faith and the enemy of atheism. I want to warn every Muslim of those who claim to belong to science while having no relation with it; Freud or Durkheim are not scientists, they are sick thinkers who have lost their way, and Marx and his followers are not scientists, they are modern shamans and fortune-tellers suffering from mental illness. They would not have been able to gain fame and power except due to the vacuum created by the negligence of the religious.

“The point of the books sent by God is that they should be followed and applied in daily life, the point is not to read them with the tongue and sing them like songs, for this is a way of disregarding them. Al-Ghazali says about this: This is like a king sending a scroll to one of his agents asking him to build a palace for him somewhere in the kingdom, but those who received the book, instead of building the palace, they simply recited the king's orders every day.

“In the best centuries of the Ummah-the first three- high status and fame were for the scholar who was endowed with great knolwedge, while in the ages of deviation and backwardness, high status and fame were for the haafidh (memorizer of Quran and hadith).

Nouman Ali Khan Quote: The Quran

Added on March 14, 2014

“From the outset, the Quran presents itself as the mirror of the universe. The term that the first Western translators rendered as "verse"-referring to biblical vocabulary-literally means, in Arabic, "sign" (ayah). Thus, the revealed Book, the written text, is made up of signs (ayat), just as the universe, like a text spread out before our eyes, is teeming with signs. When the heart’s intelligence, and not only analytical intelligence, reads the Quran and the world, then the two texts address and echo each other, and each of them speaks of the other and of the One. The signs remind us of what it means to be born, to live, to think, to feel, and to die. By its highly evocative form and contents, as well as by its spiritual power, the Quran is Islam’s miracle.

“If the Quran isn’t enough to change us and affect our hearts, then nothing else will. We need to stop looking for some out of body, supernatural, crazy experience. The Quran is THE ultimate experience. Pick it up. Read it. Understand it. Live it.
