So right at the beginning of the Quran,
Allah talks about the fact that you shouldn't
doubt the Quran. Where there is doubt, there
cannot be healing. Where there is doubt, there
will never be hope. So Allah concentrates on
the issue of
no doubt.
This book, there is no doubt in it.
It is authentic. It is absolutely
correct.
Allah says
In a translation,
we could say there is no doubt in
it. There is guidance for those who develop
taqwa.
And
just to recap
with what you may know, taqwa is to
develop the consciousness of Allah, developing the correct
relationship with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. That is
taqwa.
So when we say there is no doubt
in this book and there is guidance in
it for those who have taqwa, it means
if we try to develop the correct relationship
with Allah, that is the only time we
will be able to benefit from revelation
and from our relationship with Allah.
How will I know what Allah wants from
me if I haven't read the Quran? And
how will the Quran impact upon me if
I am not interested in developing the correct
relationship with Allah
or becoming conscious of Allah? So these are
all interconnected
matters.
Remember that your taqwa is closely connected to
how you are with the Quran.
Your guidance is closely connected with your relationship
with Allah and your search for guidance. So
continue searching and continue
pushing yourself to do the right thing.
