The Merits of the Quran

The Merits of the Koran, by Muhammad Ibn 'Abd Al-Wahâb - فضائل القرآن

The Koran is the Book of Allah, it is a miracle that Allah sent down, it is uncreated. It is the best heavenly book. It is the word of Allah – Mighty and Majestic – , the good, the most truthful of words, sent down from Allah. It is the word of Allah which He sent down to Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم through Jibril, then Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم transmitted it to his community, who then transmitted it from generation to generation in generation, until Allah inherits the earth and everything in it. It reforms behaviors and improves the organization of life. The Quran is an argument for or against you.

Whoever clings to it firmly has surely grasped the strongest cove that cannot be broken, and whoever turns away from it and seeks guidance outside of it has surely strayed into deep bewilderment. It is written in the pages, memorized in the chests, recited with the tongue and heard with the ears; devoting yourself to the Quran is one of the best worships and the greatest ways to get closer to Allah. How could it not be so when each of his letters is equivalent to ten good deeds, which can be multiplied many times.

Allah has mentioned everything in the Quran. It contains laws and legislation, proverbs, wisdom, exhortations, history... stories . Whoever speaks with the Quran speaks the truth, whoever judges by it judges with justice, whoever practices it is rewarded, and whoever calls people to follow it is guided to the straight path.
