Blessings of the Quran Sharif – Hazrat Moulana Maseehullah رحمه الله
This is a translation of a Majlis conducted by Hadhrat Maulana Muhammad Masihullah Khan Sahib رحمه الله in Roshnee, South Africa, in the year 1983.
Blessings of the Quran Sharif …Bismillah is to be found here. In fact, there is need for Bismillah at every time and on every occasion and is necessary initially and in the very beginning. There is greatness in the Kalam of Allah Ta’ala, that being the Qur’an Sharif. Allahu-akbar! And with what does it start?
It starts with Bismillah – Bismilla-hir-Rahman-nirrahim. Then comes “Al-hamdu-lillah”. On what is hamd (praise) recited? It is on ne’mats (blessings). When is hamd recited? When we show gratitude to Allah Ta’ala. We will say “Al-hamdulillah”. Furthermore, there is no greater blessing than the Kalam of Allah Ta’ala, the Qur’an Sharif. The whole basis of life, the whole of life’s functioning, with its peace, with its comforts, with its luxuries, with its happiness, with its cheer, in this world as well as the hereafter – which is our original home from which we had been sent, i.e. Jannat – the basis of all aspects of our lives in this dunya and the akhirat, is the Qur’an Sharif, the Kalam of Allah Ta’ala. The Qur’an Sharif contains in it the teachings of the Taurah, it has the teachings of the Injil in it, it has the teachings of the Zabur in it, it has in it the kitab and scriptures revealed to Hadhrat Ibrahim عليه السلام, it has in it the scriptures revealed to Hadhrat Musa عليه السلام, which are in addition to the Taurah.
That is not to say that all the teachings from these scriptures are in the Qur’an Sharif. Those which have been abrogated are not included. These were subject matters meant for those times, and these were laws meant for those respective times. However, those teachings and laws that were meant to be still applicable, are all to be found in the Qur’an Sharif. Those laws that were revealed by wahi in the Qur’an Sharif by Allah Ta’ala and which He did not want to preserve, were abrogated. مَا نَنسَخْ مِنْ آيَةٍ أَوْ نُنسِهَا نَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ منْهَا أَوْ مِثْلِهَا أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَ ه ن ه اللََّ عَلَىٰ كُ ل شَيْءٍ قَدِ ي ر
Such of Our revelations as We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring (in place) one better or the like thereof. Knowest thou not that Allah is able to do all things? S.2 A.106 “That wahi which We had revealed previously, were appropriate at those times. We have
removed these, We have removed them from the chest, and We have replaced them through wahi with something better and We have established them till the day of Qiyamat.”
