For Muslims, the teachings contained in the Qur’an were dictated by God. Lessons that are more profound often get our attention, while the more superficial ones go unnoticed. With the Quran Class, you will learn it in a deeper sense.
If taken in and put into practice, these ideas may change the way one sees relationships, religion and life in general.
Any amount is appreciated, and when combined, they have the potential to make a significant difference.
1. The Power of Small Good Deeds
Little acts of kindness are valued more highly in the Qur’an than big acts of generosity and civic responsibility, which goes against popular opinion. Allah may be moved by even the most little acts of charity and generosity.
Qur’anic Reference:
“Indeed, those who believe and do righteous deeds – those are the best of creatures.” (Qur’an, 98:7)
Key Concept:
The power of acts of compassion and physical embraces is immense. Any time you bring joy to another person, whether they are a friend, a stranger or neither, Allah will reward you.
In the Qur’an, those who believe and act in a virtue-oriented manner stand out. For you see, even a small act of kindness performed now may have a far-reaching effect in the future. Simply put, for every small deed you do each day, there will be chances to bring enormous pleasure to Allah. As well as blessings on your side.
2. The Importance of Intentions
What happens depends on one’s intentions, according to the Qur’an. The significance of an action lies more in the motivation behind it than in the action itself. Whether or not other people value them is less essential than being genuine and generous.
Qur’anic Reference:
“And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion…” (Qur’an, 98:5)
Key Concept:
A true desire to serve Allah and an innocent heart are two things that are definitely required. You should focus on the quality of your acts rather than their quantity.
The niyyah or final aim should be front and center in everything you’re thinking and doing at all times.
3. Self-Accountability: The First Step Toward Personal Growth
Most importantly, a genuine Muslim must be cautious when judging someone. Furthermore, before you accuse, you should first check inside beforehand.
The initial stage in bettering oneself is to take serious responsibility for one’s own life before you get to judge others. In fact, every Muslim should try to take their own actions, shortcomings, and mistakes into mind before thinking about pronouncing judgment on others.
Qur’anic Reference:
“And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right…” (Qur’an, 17:33)
Key Concept:
Now then, you may take into consideration other people’s points of view and life experiences before taking action. Yet, one of the most encouraged ways to grow spiritually and personally is to hold oneself accountable before anyone else. In addition, it relates to the true meaning of humility, which is a highly encouraged way from our Prophet.
4. Everything in The Universe Is Subject To Evaporation
Life is continually emphasized in the Qur’an as being transient, regardless of our desires. The Qur’an assures us of all three realms of existence: this one, the next, and everlasting life. Things aren’t easy to change or create on our planet, and nothing lasts forever.
Qur’anic Reference:
“The life of this world is but amusement and diversion; and if you believe and fear Allah – He will give you your rewards and not ask you for your wealth.” (Qur’an, 47:36)
Key Concept:
The pleasures of this life are transient, but success in the next is permanent. You can be ready for what’s to come if you stay close to Allah and live honestly now. If you have faith and fear in Allah, He will reward you without demanding payment. This life is meaningless otherwise.
5. Seeking Knowledge: A Lifelong Pursuit
Both spiritual knowledge and practical insight are valued equally in the Qur’an. Better judgment, greater illumination, and advancement are the results of a lifelong commitment to study. The Qur’an places more value on intellect and practical application of knowledge than on rote memorization.
Qur’anic Reference:
“Say, ‘Are those who know equal to those who do not know?'” (Qur’an, 39:9)
Key Concept:
If you are seeking personal and spiritual growth, there is an endless supply of knowledge to be gained. One can achieve this objective via studying, practicing or contemplating religion. It is genuinely curious as to whether or not those with degrees are no smarter than the average person.
6. Justice in All Aspects of Life
In every aspect of life, the Qur’an emphasizes the significance of justice. In all interactions with other individuals, whether formal or casual, and in all proceedings involving the law, candor is paramount.
Qur’anic Reference:
“Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice.” (Qur’an, 4:58)
Key Concept:
Maintain your objectivity at all times. No one is above telling the truth, not even close relatives and friends. This is the golden rule in action.
7. Mindfulness and Reflection: Tafakkur
The Qur’an stresses the need of maintaining mental calmness and pray constantly. Islam requires its adherents to think profoundly about God, the universe and their role in it. Despite mindfulness’s extensive history, the practice is only briefly mentioned in passing in the Qur’an.
Qur’anic Reference:
“Do they not reflect upon the Qur’an, or are there locks upon their hearts?” (Qur’an, 47:24)
Key Concept:
Build time for contemplation into your routine every day. You can strengthen your bond with Allah and acquire insight by paying attention to His signals.
Praying with complete presence may help our thoughts and feelings align with Allah’s divine knowledge.
8. Environmental Responsibility
The Qur’an emphasizes that taking care of the planet is a key part of being a good steward. The preservation of Earth’s natural resources is a fundamental precept in Islamic law. If we want to keep Earth from suffering irreversible damage, we need to be very careful with our resources.
Qur’anic Reference:
“It is He who has made the earth subservient to you, so traverse in its tracks and partake of the sustenance which He has provided for you.” (Qur’an, 67:15)
Key Concept:
We owe it to all living beings to protect them, since Allah made them so perfectly. The universe acknowledges and yields to your dominion as a result of His work. A wise man once advised his followers to “Follow in His footsteps and eat the food He has provided for you.
