Introduction

All praise is for Allaah. We praise Him, seek His help and forgiveness. We

seek refuge in Allaah from the evils of ourselves and the evils of our actions. I

bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah & I bear

witness that Muhammad صلى اهللا عليه لوسم is His servant and Messenger.

Undoubtedly the more one knows about the Qur'aan, the closer he will feel it in his heart & mind. The heart attains real life when it is joined with the Qur'aan. It is the Book which contains the teachings that the believer needs, to know his Lord and to worship Him. It is the light that guides the person. And it is the source of the Muslim’s dignity, honor and happiness in both this life and the Hereafter.

Allah has said,

öθs9 uρ ¨βr& $ZΡ# u ö�è% ôN u� Éi� ß™ ϵÎ/ ãΑ$t6Åfø9 $# ÷ρr& ôM yèÏeÜè% ϵÎ/ ÞÚö‘ F{$# ÷ρr& tΛ Íj>ä. ϵÎ/ 4’sAöθyϑ ø9 $# 3 ≅ t/ °! ã� øΒ F{$# $�èŠÏΗ sd ⟨

“If there were a Quran with which mountains were moved, or the earth were cloven asunder, or the dead were made to speak, (this would be the one). But truly the Command is with Allah in all things.”

(Al-Ra3d:31) The Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu 3Alayhi wassallam) said, “The superiority of the speech of Allah over all other speech is like the superiority of Allah over His creation.”

(At-Tirmidhi) When a person realizes the superiority of the Qur'aan he will be moved to fulfill his obligations towards it. First and foremost a Muslim must have a strong love for the Qur'aan. But this love is not simply at a theoretical level. It must be exhibited by one’s actions towards the Qur'aan. This would include reading, studying, memorizing, defending and acting in accordance with the Qur'aan.

Knowledge of the Arabic language is indispensable for the purpose of understanding and comprehending the Qur'aan. The Qur'aan embodies linguistic and literary beauty which exceeds anything of human origin. Although it has been translated into many languages, these translations

cannot replace the original language as a language of worship, which continues to be Arabic for all Muslims, native speakers or otherwise. It must be clearly understood that reading the translation is, at best, a poor substitute for learning the Qur'aanic language. One cannot understand the exact meaning and the spirit of the Qur'aan without understanding it’s text. It is implicit that anyone professing Islam cannot ignore the role Arabic plays in his faith. It is important for the learner to know that the Arabic language is easy to learn as it is a highly sophisticated language based on a very refined and systematic set of rules and patterns. This fact is confirmed by Allah in the following verse:

ô‰s) s9 uρ $tΡ ö� œ£o„ tβ# uö� à) ø9$# Í� ø.Ïe%# Ï9 ö≅ yγsù ÏΒ 9� Ï.£‰ –Β ∩⊇∠∪ ⟨

“And we have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (and receive admonition).”

(Al-Qamar:17) Nevertheless, it does require consistent effort, sincerity and commitment, to attain this most important treasure of knowledge.
