The Holy Quran and Ramadan have a very deep relationship, and it is a very beautiful time for a Muslim to reconnect with the Holy Quran. The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, therefore commanded the entire Ummah to at least once, gather together and listen to the recitation of the Holy Quran at least once. We will share some secrets with you regarding this Holy Quran, and tell you some wisdom. Generally, people complain here that our language is not Arabic, how will we understand this Holy Quran? We have to take some translation. When people complain that our language is not Arabic, how will we understand the Quran? Allah has also answered this in the Quran. When the polytheists of that time, Allah Almighty says in the Quran regarding them, "Had We sent it down in a foreign tongue, they would have said, 'Why are its verses not made clear?' Is it (so that the Book should be) foreign and (the Messenger) Arab?" He says, "Say: For those who believe, it is a guidance and a cure." The condition here is to believe, not to know the language. And this is the perfection of this religion, that its revelation is not upon human intellect, but upon human heart. This is why we find many people whose language was not Arabic, but they understood the Quran in such a way that even great Arabs could not understand it in the coming times. If knowing the Arabic language was the only condition for understanding, then no Arab would be misguided today. But it is the perfection of Allah's religion, it is a miracle of this Holy Quran, the Messenger of Allah, in which Allah speaks to His creation. This is not limited to the Arabic language. Among the manners of reading the Quran that the elders, scholars, and Quranic experts have told us, we will talk about some of those manners with you today. And whoever abandons this Quran, whoever breaks their connection with this Quran, it is written in the Quran that on the Day of Judgment, the Quran will complain. Every ideology, every vision, every ism of the world is given importance, but they do not want to seek guidance from the Holy Quran. The way of the servants of Allah was that they used to read the Holy Quran continuously. It was their daily routine. Not a single day would pass without them reciting a portion of the Quran. And the perfection of the Quran is that when you start reading it repeatedly, this Quran begins to descend upon your heart, whether you know the Arabic language or not. For help in understanding, if you just keep looking at the translation and keep reading the Quran repeatedly, finish the entire Quran once, do it a second time, a third time, a fourth time, you will feel that you are understanding the Quran more each time. Even if you cannot speak in the Arabic language, this is the miracle of the Quran, this is its cure, this is the perfection, this is the good news that Allah has said, "Do you talk about your Lord? For those who believe, it is a guidance and a cure." And Allah says about this Quran that it has guidance for you, through it your purification happens, it is light, it is a cure for you. And in the month of Ramadan, Allah Almighty revealed the Quran, and its revelation, as mentioned, is upon the heart of man. Human eyes are not blind, their hearts are blind, and those whose hearts are blind receive guidance and cure from the insight of their hearts. [Music] A beautiful perfection of this Quran is that it speaks about what has happened before. It is from the Book, and there is no doubt in it. Whenever our elders faced any difficulty or trouble, they would start reading the Quran, whether it was worldly matters, legal matters, spiritual matters, matters of knowing Allah, or knowing the secrets of the universe, you will find everything in this Quran. The elders have even said that if we start reading the Quran for a particular problem, and we don't find the answer in the first reading, we read the Quran again, and again. After reading it 40 times, we get the answer to our problem from the Quran, whether that problem is apparent, spiritual, or related to knowledge. Ramadan is a very beautiful time. Whatever problems you have in your life, whatever questions you are troubled by, start reading the Quran. Today, our community has been distanced from the Quran. This Ramadan, this blessed month in which Laylat al-Qadr is also coming, Allah has given a very beautiful gift. On such an occasion, when the whole of Pakistan is waiting, people are troubled and worried, there is anger, the dominance of Satan, the nation is scattered, there is internal conflict, political and religious divisions, the enemy has surrounded us from all sides. In this, your refuge is only this Holy Quran. Establish a connection with this Holy Quran, its revelation will be upon your heart, and Allah Almighty, by His grace and bounty, will grant you guidance, light, and cure. And we will open it for living nations, to revive nations. Do not use this Quran only for sending blessings to the deceased. Or when bidding farewell to your children, placing the Quran on their heads. Besides this, Allah has kept much more use, bounty, grace, and blessings of this Holy Quran for you. So, this blessed Ramadan, befriend the Quran, read it. If you don't understand anything, don't worry, just sit and start reading the Quran. Its blessings and its goodness will start coming to you. Someone who could not read, could not understand the Quran, but he had love for the Quran. All day, from morning till evening, he would sit in the mosque with the Holy Quran open, and reading the Quran was his comfort. I am not educated, I don't know what is written here, but I do this: I move my finger over every letter and say, "This is true, this is true, this is true, this is true." And only by this love of his, he achieved what even great scholars could not achieve. Love this Quran, whether you understand it or not, read it. If you don't understand, just move your finger and keep saying, "This is true, this is true." Allah will take great care.
