Alhamdulillah, wasalatu wasalam, ala rasoolillah, wa ala alihi
wa sahbihi ajma'een.
Amma ba'ad, audhu billahi minash shaitanir rajeem,
bismillahir rahmanir raheem.
Ya ayyuhal nasu qad ja'atkum maw'idatum

My respected elders and my dear brothers and
sisters, I welcome all of you with the
Islamic greetings.
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
May the peace, mercy and blessings of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala, of Almighty God be
upon all of you.
It is a pleasure and honour to be
in Perlis and to be delivering a lecture
in the Perlis Sunnah Convention.
The topic of my talk is Al-Quran,
the most positive book in the world.
What is the meaning of the word positive?
Positive, according to the Oxford Dictionary, means consisting
in or categorised by the presence rather than
the absence of distinguishing features.
According to the Cambridge Dictionary, optimistic refers
to something that is full of hope and
confidence.
The glorious Quran, it is the last and
final revelation of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
which was revealed to the last and final
messenger, Prophet Muhammad, may peace and blessings be
upon him.
The glorious Quran, it is the most positive
book in the world.
It is a proclamation for humanity.
It is a fountain of mercy and wisdom.
It is a guide to the erring, an
assurance to those in doubt, a solace to
the suffering and a hope to those in
despair.
How is it possible to derive all of
these benefits from the glorious Quran without reading
the glorious Quran with understanding?
That's the reason I say the glorious Quran,
it is the most positive book in the
world.
The glorious Quran, it is the best book.
It was revealed in the best month, that
is the month of Ramadan.
It was revealed on the best night, that
is Laylatul Qadr.
It was revealed through the best angel, that
is Angel Jibreel, it was revealed to the
best messenger, that is Prophet Muhammad, may peace
and blessings be upon him.
It was revealed in the best land, the
best city, that is the city of Makkah.
As far as today's talk is concerned, Al
-Quran, the most positive book in the world,
I have divided it into six subheadings.
The first is Al-Quran, a source of
guidance for the entire humanity.
The second, the challenge of the glorious Quran
to produce something similar to it.
The third, Al-Quran, a source of shifa,
that is a healing for the body and
soul.
The fourth, positivity does not necessarily mean instant
gratification at the click of a button.
The fifth, Al-Quran is optimistic about forgiveness
and mercy.
And the sixth, Al-Quran, the future world
constitution, a governing charter.
First we'll discuss Al-Quran as a source
of guidance.
The glorious Quran, it is not a revelation
or a guidance only for the Muslims or
the Arabs, but the glorious Quran, it is
meant for the whole of humanity.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the
glorious Quran, in Surah Ibrahim, chapter number 14,
verse number 1, The book has been revealed
to thee, that is Prophet Muhammad, peace be
upon him, in order to lead mankind from
the depths of darkness into light.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the
glorious Quran, in Surah Ibrahim, chapter number 14,
verse number 52, Here
is a message, let them take warning thereof,
and let them know that there is one
God, let men of understanding take heed.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the
glorious Quran, in Surah Al-Baqarah, chapter number
2, verse number 185, Ramadan
is the month in which the glorious Quran
was revealed as a guidance for humanity.
And as a distinguishing factor between right and
wrong.
The glorious Quran, it is a guidance for
the entire humanity.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala also says in
the glorious Quran, in Surah Az-Zumar, chapter
number 39, verse number 41, That we have
given thee the message in order to instruct
humankind.
So the glorious Quran is not a book
that is only meant for the Muslims or
the Arabs, but it is a guidance for
the entire humanity.
That's the reason we should see to it
that we share the message of Islam, we
share the message of the glorious Quran with
the entire humanity.
That's the reason I say the glorious Quran,
it is the most positive book in the
world, because it is a guidance for the
entire humanity.
So there are several verses in the glorious
Quran which clearly indicate that the glorious Quran,
it is a source of guidance for the
entire humanity.
The second subheading that we will be discussing,
it is the challenge of the glorious Quran
to produce something similar to it.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the
glorious Quran, in Surah Al-Isra, chapter number
17, verse number 88, Say,
if mankind and jinn, they got together to
produce something similar to the glorious Quran, they
would not be able to produce it.
Even if they were to each other as
helpers and supporters, even if they backed each
other with help and support.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is giving us
a challenge that to produce something similar to
the glorious Quran.
Several people tried it and they failed miserably.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala eases this challenge
and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in
the glorious Quran, in Surah Al-Hud, chapter
number 11, verse number 13, They may say
that he forged it, referring to Prophet Muhammad
peace be upon him.
That the people, the kuffar at his time,
they accused him that he forged the glorious
Quran.
They may say he forged it.
Say, produce ten forged Surahs similar to it
and call forth whomever you can besides Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala if you are truthful.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he eases the
challenge even further.
First Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says that
produce something similar to the Quran.
No one was able to do it.
Then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala eases the
challenge and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says
produce ten Surahs like it.
No one was able to do it.
And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala eases the
challenge even further and Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala says in the glorious Quran, in Surah
Al-Hud, chapter number 10, verse number 38,
They may say that he forged it.
Say, produce a Surah similar to it and
call forth whomever you can besides Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala if you are truthful.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala also says in
the glorious Quran, in Surah Al-Baqarah, chapter
number 2, verse number 23, Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala gives a similar challenge in this
verse of the glorious Quran.
When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala says that if you
are in doubt to what has been revealed
to a servant from time to time, then
produce a Surah somewhat similar to it.
And call forth your witnesses and helpers if
there are any besides Allah if you are
truthful.
And of a surety, ye cannot.
Then fear the fire.
Whose fuel is men and stones.
Prepared for those who reject faith.
So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has made
the challenge very easy.
It is even applicable today.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is challenging to
produce a Surah similar to the glorious Quran.
A single chapter and the smallest Surah in
the glorious Quran.
It is hardly three verses, just a few
words.
No one has been able to do it
and no one will be able to do
it until the day of judgement.
This itself proves that the glorious Quran, it
is the most positive book in the world.
The glorious Quran, it is the only religious
scripture on the face of the earth that
is free from errors, that is free from
contradictions.
It is the religious scripture on the face
of the earth that is compatible with established
modern science.
The third sub-topic that we will be
discussing, it is Al-Quran, a source of
shifa, that is a healing for the body
and soul.
The verse of the glorious Quran, they are
a shifa, they are a healing for the
body and soul.
The glorious Quran, it is a holistic manual
and a healing for the body and soul.
When we read the glorious Quran, it brings
about tranquility, satisfaction in our lives.
It brings about tranquility, sakina to the soul.
And we see several non-Muslims when they
hear verses of the glorious Quran, tears shed
down their eyes.
They do not understand Arabic, but the mere
recitation of the glorious Quran has an impact
on their heart.
And there are several verses in the glorious
Quran which talk about the glorious Quran being
as a shifa.
The verses of the glorious Quran being as
a shifa.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the
glorious Quran, Surah Tawbah, chapter number 9, verse
number 14, وَيَشْفِي صُدُورَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِينَ وَيَشْفِي صُدُورَ
قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِينَ And Allah shall heal the *
of believers.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the
glorious Quran, in Surah Al-Yunus, chapter number
10, verse number 57, the verse I quoted
at the beginning of my talk, يَا أَيُّهَا
النَّاسِ قَدْ جَاءَتْكُم مَّوْعِظَةٌ مِّن رَبِّكُمْ O mankind,
there has come an instruction from the Lord,
from your Lord.
وَشِفَاءٌ لِّمَا فِي الصُّدُورِ وَهُدًا وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ And
a guidance and a mercy for the believers.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the
glorious Quran, in Surah Al-Isra, chapter number
17, verse number 82, وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا
هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ And we have sent
down verses of the glorious Quran, which are
a shifa, which are a healing, and a
mercy for the believers.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the
glorious Quran, in Surah Al-Fusil, chapter number
41, verse number 44, قُلْ هُوَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا
هُدًا وَشِفَاءٌ Say it is for those who
believe a guidance and a shifa.
From these verses of the glorious Quran, we
clearly understand that the glorious Quran, it is
a shifa, it is a healing.
Whenever we are distressed in our lives, we
should turn towards the glorious Quran.
And we will find peace, tranquility, sakina, satisfaction
in our lives.
If we want to have ultimate success in
this world and the hereafter, turn towards the
glorious Quran, which is the most positive book
in the world.
And we will see our lives transform for
the better.
The fourth subheading, it is positivity does
not necessarily mean instant gratification at the click
of a button.
Many a times we do dua to Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala and we are impatient.
We want our dua to be accepted instantly.
Many a times Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
He tests us.
So sometimes we are granted what we want
or what we ask for immediately.
And sometimes we have to wait.
And we have both examples in the glorious
Quran.
We have the example of Musa alaihi salam.
And we all know the story of Musa
alaihi salam.
At his time was Pharaoh, who was a
tyrant, who was a ruthless leader.
He was a ruthless king.
And one of his advisors told him that
there will be a child that will be
born.
When he grows up, he will take over
your kingdom.
So Pharaoh, he commanded all the male children
to be killed the moment they are born.
At this time, Musa alaihi salam was born.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala commands the mother
of Musa alaihi salam to put Musa alaihi
salam in a basket.
And to let the basket flow in the
river.
Until the basket reaches the castle of Pharaoh.
And the wife of Pharaoh, she insists Pharaoh
not to kill this child.
And it was all the plan of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Imagine Musa alaihi salam, he reaches the castle
of Pharaoh and Pharaoh does not kill him.
This was the plan of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
And it was a test for the mother
of Musa alaihi salam.
She did not lose hope.
She followed the commandment of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
And Musa alaihi salam was returned to his
mother.
We have the example of Yusuf alaihi salam.
Yusuf alaihi salam's father, Yaqub alaihi salam, he
did not lose hope in Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
The brothers of Yusuf alaihi salam, they were
jealous of him.
That why does Yaqub alaihi salam love Yusuf
alaihi salam the most?
And they wanted to harm Yusuf alaihi salam.
So they throw him into a well.
And we know the story that the brothers
of Yusuf alaihi salam, they go to Yaqub
alaihi salam and they say that the wolf
ate Yusuf alaihi salam.
And Yaqub alaihi salam, he was patient.
He did not lose hope in Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
And he knew that one day inshallah Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala will return Yusuf alaihi
salam to him.
And after several years, Yusuf alaihi salam is
reunited with his father.
So Yaqub alaihi salam, he was patient.
He waited and he constantly did dua to
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And he was reunited with his son.
We have the example of Prophet Muhammad, may
Allah's peace and blessings be upon him.
During the first 13 years of prophethood, during
the Meccan period, he was tortured and persecuted.
Yet he did not lose hope in Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
He was patient, he was positive, he was
optimistic.
Until they went to Medina, the Prophet and
the Sahaba.
And they were welcomed by the people of
Medina.
The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is
a walking Quran.
He was a live example of how to
implement the teachings of the glorious Quran.
As Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in
the glorious Quran in Surah al-Qalam, chapter
number 68, verse number 4.
For where lead thou art in the highest
standard of character.
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him,
he depicted optimism and positivity.
And after several years, our beloved Prophet Muhammad
peace be upon him, he returns back to
Mecca during the conquest of Mecca.
And he displays his mercy and his forgiveness.
What does he tell to these very people
who tortured and persecuted him?
he tells these very enemies of his, all
those in Abu Sufyan's houses are safe, all
those in Abu Sufyan's house are safe, all
those in the precincts of the Kaaba are
safe, all those in their houses are safe,
our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him,
he granted safety and he forgave these people
who tortured and persecuted him.
And on this very day, during the conquest
of Mecca, our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be
upon him, he tells the people of Mecca,
اذهبوا فأنتم الطلقاء go away for you are
free.
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him,
he depicted optimism and positivity and this led
to many of these non-Muslims embracing Islam
and joining our beloved Prophet Muhammad may peace
and blessings be upon him.
During the incident of Taif, our beloved Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him, even though he
was tortured and persecuted by the people of
Taif, he was optimistic and when the angel
came to him and told him that if
you want I will crush Taif between the
two mountains, our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be
upon him, he was bleeding profusely but what
does he say?
He depicted the positive message of the glorious
Quran.
What does he tell the angel?
That do not do such a thing, do
not crush Taif between the two mountains, perhaps
from their progeny will be people who will
believe in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and
what do we see today in Taif?
Majority of the people, they are Muslims.
So the Prophet peace be upon him, he
was optimistic and positive.
The fifth subtopic or subheading is the Quran,
it is optimistic about forgiveness and mercy.
The word Rahma that is mercy and its
derivatives are mentioned in the glorious Quran no
less than 339 times in nine derived forms.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, his mercy outweighs
his wrath.
Each and every human being will enter Jannah
because of the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala and the opposite of mercy which
is Ghadab, that is anger, it is mentioned
in the glorious Quran only 24 times in
no less than five derived forms.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's mercy outweighs his
wrath.
Several verses in the glorious Quran which emphasize
and talk about the mercy of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala and one such verse that
comes to my mind, it is the verse
of the glorious Quran from Surah Az-Zumar,
chapter number 39, verse number 53 and 54.
Say, O my servants who have transgressed against
your souls, do not despair of the mercy
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
For Allah forgives all sins.
And turn to your Lord and submit yourself
to him.
So whatever sins we commit, they may be
as huge as mountains but if we truly
repent to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, inshallah
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he will accept
our repentance but our repentance, it should be
sincere and if we sincerely repent to Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala, whatever sin we may
have committed, inshallah Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
he will accept our repentance.
And there are several verses in the glorious
Quran which talk about mercy.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the
glorious Quran in Surah Al-Fusilat, chapter number
41, verse number 34, regarding repelling evil with
good.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, Nor
the good and evil are the same.
Repel evil with that what is good.
And you will see between you and him
whom there's enmity, he will become your close
friend.
Do not defeat your enemy but rather win
them over, win their hearts and win their
minds.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the
glorious Quran, Surah Al-Imran, chapter number 3,
verse number 159.
And by the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala, O Muhammad, you were lenient to
them.
And if you were rude in speech and
if you were harsh to them in heart,
they would have disabandoned you.
Then pardon them and have mercy on them.
And when you are dedicated, have trust in
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
When you have decided, have trust in Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
For Allah loves those who trust him.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala also says in
the glorious Quran, in several other places regarding
mercy, time does not permit me to discuss
all of these references.
I will just mention one more verse of
the glorious Quran from Surah Al-A'raf,
chapter number 7, verse number 56, wherein Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala says.
And do not cause corruption in the land
after it has been reformed.
And call upon your Lord in fear and
in aspiration.
For verily, the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala is close to those who do
good.
It is close to the Muhsineen.
So the believers always have hope in the
mercy of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And especially what is going on in Palestine,
the oppression, what are the Palestinian brothers and
sisters doing?
They are optimistic.
They are positive.
Even though parents are seeing their children being
martyred, being killed by Israel, what do they
do?
They say Alhamdulillah.
They are satisfied with the decree of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Many of the parents, they are saying, after
they see their children have been martyred, they
wish that they have more children so that
they can be sacrificed in the way of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Non-Muslims, when they look at the resilience
of the Palestinian brothers and sisters, they are
shocked and they want to read more about
Islam.
They are thinking, what is this religion?
Their people are being killed and murdered and
oppressed.
These people are being bombed.
Yet they are content with the decree of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Yet they are positive and optimistic.
This is a live example of positivity and
optimism.
The last subheading that we'll be discussing, it
is Al-Quran, the future world constitution, a
governing charter.
The most important thing in order to have
success in this world and in the hereafter,
it is believing in one God.
It is Tawheed.
And our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon
him, when he called the people of Quraish
towards the oneness of Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala, he stressed upon this for 13 years
during the Meccan period.
Removing them from the darkness and slavery of
worshipping idols, of worshipping man-made things towards
the light, towards the Noor of Islam.
So the primary requirement for success in this
world, for positivity, for optimism in our lives,
it is believing in one God.
It is Tawheed, that's the oneness of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
That's the reason we see today thousands of
people around the world, they are accepting Islam
in large numbers.
The media says that Islam subjugates the women.
Out of those people who are accepting Islam
in the western countries, two-third of them
are women.
If Islam subjugates the women, why are women
in large numbers accepting Islam?
Because Islam has a solution to the problems
of humanity.
The glorious Quran, it is a positive and
optimistic book.
It is the most positive book in the
world.
That's the reason when non-Muslims read the
glorious Quran, it has an impact.
Impact on their hearts.
Today we see crime, it is very prevalent.
We see murder, it is very prevalent, especially
in the western countries.
In countries like America, people look up to
America and say, you know America, it is
one of the most advanced countries in the
world.
It has one of the highest rates of
murder.
In Islam, we have a solution that if
anyone kills any other human being intentionally, then
he needs to be killed.
We have the rulings of Qisas for intentional
murder and the moment you implement the Islamic
Sharia, you will get results.
Islam, besides saying that murder is wrong, it
shows you a practical way in which people
will not kill each other.
Allah says in the glorious Quran, Chapter 5,
verse 32, that
if anyone kills any human being, unless it
be for murder or for spreading corruption in
the land, it is as if he has
killed the entire humanity and the worst does
not stop here.
Allah says that if anyone saves any single
human being, it is as if he has
saved the whole of humanity.
I do not know of any religious scripture
on the face of the earth which mentions
such a thing.
This is the beauty of Islam.
This is the positivity about Islam.
This is the optimism about the glorious Quran.
Saving a single human being is like saving
the entire humanity and there are several examples
which prove that if we implement the teachings
of the glorious Quran, then we will have
peace and tranquility in the world.
We have in Islam a system of Zakah.
Every rich person who has a saving of
more than Nisab level, of more than 85
grams of gold, he should give 2.5
% of his saving every lunar year in
charity.
If every rich man gives charity, poverty will
eradicate from this world.
There will not be a single human being
who will die of hunger and after that,
if any man robs, Allah says in the
glorious Quran, Surah Al-Maidah, Chapter 5, verse
number 38, As for the one who robs,
whether it be man or woman, chop off
their hands as a punishment from the Lord.
Some people might say, chopping off the hands
in this 21st century?
Islam is a barbaric religion.
Islam is a ruthless religion.
America, happening to be one of the most
advanced countries in the world, people look up
to it.
It has one of the highest rates of
robbery, crime and theft.
The moment we implement the Islamic Sharia, we
will get results.
Wherever you implement the Islamic Sharia in any
part of the world, you will get results
and the crime rate, it will reduce drastically
because the Islamic Sharia, it is a practical
law.
The moment you implement it, you will get
results.
Allah says in the glorious Quran, Surah Al
-Baqarah, Chapter 2, verse number 278 and 279,
O you who believe, fear
Allah and stay away from Riba, that is
interest.
If you are those who fear Allah, if
you are believers, and if you do not
do so, so take notice of waging a
war against Allah and His Messenger.
If you deal in Riba, it is as
if you are waging a war against Allah
and His Messenger.
And unfortunately, we see that it is very
prevalent in today's world.
Many Muslims, they are involved in Riba.
They give and take Riba, unfortunately.
A Muslim, he should follow the teachings of
the glorious Quran.
It is a major sin.
In fact, it is a grave, major sin
to deal in Riba.
And that's the reason we see that the
economies throughout the world, they are collapsing because
Riba makes a rich person richer and makes
a poor person poorer.
So if you want to have economic stability
throughout the world, we should not deal in
Riba.
We should follow the teachings of the glorious
Quran.
We see oppression, it is very prevalent today.
If we make the glorious Quran our constitution,
oppression throughout the world, it will reduce.
And I would like to give you a
striking example related to alcohol.
In 1930, the American government, they decided to
ban the consumption of alcohol.
But people, they loved alcohol so much that
it became very difficult for the American government.
Even though they banned alcohol, even though they
banned the consumption of alcohol, bootlegging, it became
common.
People started selling it illegally.
The jails were filled with people.
The American government, they spent millions of dollars,
but it proved futile.
Later on, just after four years, they had
to remove this ban and they had to
allow alcohol again.
And we are talking about one of the
most advanced countries in the world, even at
that time.
Now let's roll back in time, 1400 years
ago, when the glorious Quran was revealed.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says in the
glorious Quran in Surah Al-Maidah, chapter number
5, verse number 19, يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا
أَوْ يُهُوَ بِلِيْبِ إِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ Most certainly
intoxicants and gambling, وَالْأَنصَابُ وَالْأَزْلَامِ Dedication of stones,
divination of arrows, رِجْصٌ مِّنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ are
an abomination from Satan's handiwork.
فَجْتَنِبُهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ Abstain from such abomination that
you may prosper.
The moment this verse of the glorious Quran
was revealed, the Sahaba, even though they had
so much alcohol that they had it almost
after every meal, it was like a normal
drink for them.
The moment they heard this verse of the
glorious Quran, that alcohol is prohibited, immediate obedience.
They threw their barrels of alcohol.
The streets of Medina were filled with alcohol
flowing, and these barrels were never to be
filled again.
Some of them, they tried to induce vomit
in order to remove what they drank of
the alcohol.
This is what we call immediate obedience.
The Prophet peace be upon him, he did
not have the most advanced police force.
He did not have the police in order
to implement this.
But one verse of the glorious Quran was
sufficient for the people of Medina, for the
Sahaba to stop having alcohol.
This is the impact that the glorious Quran
has on our lives.
This is the positive impact, the optimistic impact
that the glorious Quran has on our life.
That's the reason I say the glorious Quran,
it is the most positive book in the
world.
It is not only theoretical, but it is
practical.
If we implement the glorious Quran in our
lives, we will see that there is a
drastic change in our lives.
And there are several such examples.
Time does not permit me to discuss all
of the examples.
Several examples that we can give from the
glorious Quran, which prove that the glorious Quran,
it is a practical solution to the problems
of humanity.
Whether it be any crime, whether it be
*, whether it be adultery, whether it be
fornication, whether it be drug addiction, whether it
be alcoholism, whether it be murder, whether it
be killing, whether it be corruption, Islam has
a solution to all of these problems.
The glorious Quran has a solution to all
of these problems.
But what we need to do, we need
to implement the teachings of the glorious Quran.
And the moment we implement the teachings of
the glorious Quran, we will see that the
glorious Quran has a positive impact on our
lives.
In Islam, we have a system of hijab.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala talks about hijab
for the man and hijab for the woman.
In Surah An-Nur, chapter number 24, verse
number 30, as well as 31.
And the moment you implement hijab, as per
the guidelines of the glorious Quran and authentic
hadith, we will see that *, adultery, fornication,
molestation, it will reduce drastically throughout the world.
So we pray to Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala, that may the glorious Quran have a
positive impact on our lives and may the
glorious Quran be embedded in our lives.
I would like to end my talk with
the verse of the glorious Quran from Surah
Al-Isra, chapter number 17, verse number 81.
Say truth has come and falsehood has perished
for falsehood is by its nature bound to
perish.
Al-Fatiha.
