Each one of us has been bestowed with an incredibly powerful brain. All of us have equally spectacular mental capacity. There are 10 trillion cells in a brain. Each cell has some 20000 connections. We use only 5 to 25% of the potential of our brain. Even after fully grown only a small proportion of brain capacity is used. Unused potential is tremendous; we are making only limited use.
While reading Quran we should try and understand it. Allah has made it easy.
Allah says in one hadees qudsi, “ I have divided prayer into two halves between Me and My servant”. When the devotee recites Fatiha surah, Allah replies by saying, “My servant has praised Me, he has extolled Me, he has submitted to My authority”.
We should check our attitude. We will die in few years. God observes when a person is praying. While reciting Quran, we should understand, realize and express gratitude from the depths of our hearts. He is giving free and continuous supply of oxygen.
Lip service is not good in prayer. One need not feel anything while saying two plus two is four. But while reading a poem, heart gets attached to it. Quran is God’s word. It should be felt in our heart.
Hamd means both praise and gratitude. God gave life to man. He provided peace and food. Every second crores of cells are reacting. Wipers in the eyes are functioning. We should be grateful. He is the One who made eyes, ears, heart work properly. He forcefully perpetuates His blessings. We are soaked in His mercy every moment from head to toe. So remember God and celebrate His praise. The name of Shaitan should bring irritation with it. God’s name should inspire happiness, peace and satisfaction.
The Day of Judgement is not like graduation day or birthday. It is the day when punishment and rewards will be given. It is different from salary day or wedding day. Yaumideen. Aalims usually cite this day to inspire fear. There is scope to have hope about rewards. It is the day when God can send us into the lush gardens of the heaven with His mercy.
Huwa, hum, antha, anthum, ana, nahnu, these parts of the words come nearly 1250 times in Quran. Hu, hum, ka, kum, e, na, these come nearly 10000 times. Rabbuhu means his rab, rabbuhum means their rab, rabbuka means your(singular) rab, rabbukum means your(plural) rab, rabbi means my rab, rabbuna means our rab.
Quran is easy. Let us understand and recite it.
