Praise be to Allaah and blessings of Allaah be upon His Messenger and Chosen.
It is important for us to revive our relationship with the Qur’aan and restructure our lives around it.
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Read the Qur’aan, for indeed it will come on the Day of Judgment as an intercessor for its companions.” [Saheeh Muslim]
To be a companion of someone (or something) entails being in their presence most of the time and being with them wheresoever they are.
To be a companion of the Qur’aan therefore means that we not only read it, but we accompany it throughout our lives –studying it, pondering over it, consulting it, memorising it, acting upon it, teaching it and defending it from the plots of its enemies.
It’s important for us to strive to become companions of the Qur’aan and much of the destiny of this Ummah depends on this crucial factor – have we grasped it firmly, or have we abandoned it?
“And the Messenger will say: “O my Lord! Verily, my people deserted this Qur’an.” [Al-Furqaan: 30]
One of the ways that we can pull this Ummah out of its current suffering, oppression and disunity is to return to the Revelation as,Imam Maalik (Rahimahullaah) once stated:
“Nothing will rectify the latter part of this Ummah except that which rectified the first part of it.”
My fellow Muslims!
We need to return to the Qur'aan as a source of judgment between us and make it the light which penetrates our hearts and illuminates it such that we become a people of strength who walk with light.
May Allaah bless us and lead us through the path of righteousness.
