Advices from Qur’an



Dear Readers, As Salaamu Alaikum!

The first lesson to be learned by all students is about the importance of the Holy Qur’aan. The Qur’aan is the Book of Allah subhaanahu wa ta‘aalaa. Every word in the Qur’aan has come from Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala). That is why we say that it is a Holy Book. The words in the Qur’aan were sent by Allah to Prophet Muhammad sallal-laahu ‘alayhi wa-aalihi wa sallam. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam) received the words of Allah through angel Jibra’eel. This Qur’aan is a Holy Book that was not written by anyone but sent by Allah to Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam) through Jibra’eel.By now we know that the Qur’aan is a special book and deserves respect. The Qur’an is a book of wisdom and it teaches us several things. Keeping it short and simple, let us look at some 100 teachings from the Qur’an.
