Quran Teaching As An Inspiration To Renaissance Of Muslims

It is unimaginably unfortunate that majority of the world sees Islam as a religion behind promotion of illiteracy, warfare, and terrorism, more than anything else. Little do they know that Islam is the religion that set the foundations of Renaissance of Knowledge back in 14th and 15th century A.D, a time referred as the dark ages of Europe and Christianity.

There is a long list of Muslims scientists contributing in almost all the fields of science. The names and the area of expertise of some most prominent of them are mentioned in the lines below:

  • Jabir-bin-Hayan (also famously known as Geber): Chemistry(attributed as the Father of Chemistry)
  • Al-Asmai: Botany, Zoology, Animal Husbandry
  • Amr-ibn-Bahr Al-Jahiz: Zoology, Lexicography
  • Al-Khwarizmi (also known as Algorizm): Geography, Astronomy, Mathematics (Algebra, Algorithm, Calculus)
  • Ibn-e-Ishaq Al-Kindi (Alkindus): Physics, Optics, Philosophy, Medicine, Metallurgy, Mathematics

These are just a few of the most prominent names putting a greatly significant contribution in almost all the fields of science, and their brilliant work shines as a star in their respective fields. This is simply because of the fact that those early people resorted to Quran and Hadith for seeking any kind of guidance they needed, following the commandment of Allah Almighty.

Quran Teaching can be the key to lead Muslims to the same exalted position among nations of the world that they enjoyed during early centuries of Islam. All we need to do is realize the true potential of guidance concealed in Quran, as indicated by many verses from Holy Quran, such as:

Al-Baqara [2:2] This is the book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah.

How Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Transformed Arabian Society Being The First Quran Tutor

A society comes into existence with the coherence and harmony among a group of people coming from different backgrounds gathered in a specific location. However, this becomes very difficult if there are not persons among a society that teach mass how to live in coherence with each other. Such people are referred as teachers or tutors.

History tells us that the role of tutors is so significant in progress and development of societies that the societies boasting of great teachers are the ones that excelled among the nations of the world.

One of the most significant examples of the role of teachers in evolution of societies is of Allah’s Last Apostle Muhammad (PBUH) as the first Quran Tutor gracing Arab nation with the glory of knowledge.

The influence of teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was so much that Arabs became the most dominant force among the nations of the world within a matter of few decades.

Learn Quran Online To Better Understand The Teachings Of Islam

In wake of 9/11, Islam and Quran came out as the most debatable topics all around the world. Though Islam is totally a religion preaching peace, equality, tranquility, and piety, yet evil forces tried to associate the unfortunate incident of 9/11 with Islam, which is in fact, quite wrong.

This reality became even clearer to people who searched for the truth themselves after the atrocities of 9/11. That is why the number of people (particularly from the United States of America and other European nations) willing to learn the reality about Islam turned to learn Quran, the Scripture deemed as of Muslims.

In recent years, this has become quite convenient due to the innovative concept of “Learn Quran Online”, making it possible for people from various parts of the world to learn and understand Quran in order to learn more about Islam.

Though unbeknownst, but this quest of theirs turns out to be the biggest favor they can do with themselves, since Quran is the book of absolute guidance, and a person resorting to it for finding the truth ultimately benefits himself/herself. Look what Allah Almighty says about Quran in this particular verse:

Al-Araf [7:52] For We had certainly sent unto them a book, based on knowledge, which We explained in detail― a guide and a mercy to all who believe.

The Eloquence Of Quran Is Beyond Any Doubt

Anyone doubting about the positive impact of books on a person’s inner self is surely mistaken. The power and influence of a book is beyond any doubt, especially if it is a book as special as Holy Qur’an, the Scripture Allah claims to be containing nothing else but His own wise words.

There is no need of going into finer details for seeing how exalted a Scripture Quran is, as compared to other Scriptures, let alone ordinary books. Simply, the style of narration, the eloquence of this Holy Book bestowed to Muslims as their Scripture captivates one’s mind immediately.

That is why Allah Almighty simply challenges to produce just a single verse as eloquent as any one in whole of the Qur’an:

Al-Baqara [2:23] And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (i.e. the Qur'ân) to Our slave (Muhammad Peace be upon him ), then produce a Sûrah (chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allâh, if you are truthful.

In our daily lives, we feel very comfortable when there is a situation where we find some kind of guidance for us. Since learning is quite instinctive to humans, seeking for guidance is quite natural. In this case, the level of guidance you get plays very important role in your learning.

That is why Muslims are advised to resort to Holy Quran, the Scripture Allah claims to be purely His, without any kind of alteration, till eternity.

“To you We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety.” [5:48]

And

"Indeed it is We who have sent down the Quran, and indeed it is Us who shall preserve it." (Surah 15:9)

That is why Quran Education is considered as a religious and moral obligation amongst Muslims. In fact, the very first thing majority of Muslim parents seek for their child is Quran Tutor who can help their children acquire the praiseworthy knowledge of Quran.
