Al Kitab- the most beautiful Word
This is called “al-Kitab” (the book). When a Muslim talks about “this book”, it is understood that he is referring to the Holy Quran and it is highly respected. It is a book above all books, because it is the complete and final revelation of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala to humanity. It is the most beautiful Word, the Word of Guidance, the Book of Wisdom and will remain unchanged and protected until the Day of Judgment. Many Muslims decorate the pages and covers of their books and place them on the highest shelf in their homes to show their high status. Most Muslims begin the most important ritual of their lives by reciting prayers. But when they recite, few people listen attentively, and even fewer understand. But fewer consider its importance and devote their lives to studying it. A human would never abstain from the elements that are necessary for nourishing his body, yet so many humans go for extended periods of time depriving themselves from that which nourishes the hearts and the mind – Holy Qurâan.
