LEARN QURAN: 5 MISCONCEPTIONS PEOPLE ARE RENDERED BEFORE READING QURAN KAREEM

Learning Quran has never been difficult. You may have seen many celebrities and influentials reading it themselves. It does not matter to what religion or sector do you belong to, if you are feeling the urge to explore the Islamic notion of Muslims, Quran is within your convenient access, anytime. But, before you begin to explore Quran, you need to read the following 5 misconceptions people are rendered before reading Quran Kareem. I am optimistic this article would motivate you to read critically.
If you feel these misconceptions kept you from reading Quran and you got rid of them after reading this article. Please share it with people who are blindfolded and restrained from discovering the true recognition of Allah Subhana Wa Ta'aala. 

YOU WILL FALL ASTRAY

Self-centered scholars are often found prohibiting people from reading Quran Kareem without the assistance of any religious scholar due to the fear of falling astray. They frequently motivate people to listen to the Quran Kareem from those who can read and explain it without any mistake. Mistaking Quran is indeed a sin. But the more miserable consequence is that your own conclusion would lack clarity and misconceptions might emerge if you interpreted anything incorrect. There might be many reasons that keep people from reading this sacred guiding book but the ones I observed during my research were that Quran Kareem quotes divine words of Allah that the book would either enlighten you or lead you astray. Ordinary minds conclude it as prevention due to non-certification by Madrassa (religious institutions). They roll out as directed by their teachers or scholars. While Quran Kareem is as simple as any book ever can be and it will no doubt remain the same throughout eternity.  It is evidently clear that your intent matters here. If you are reading it to really ponder over this tremendously miraculous universe, get assured your journey will be towards the revelation of the most fascinating and tranquil discovery.

TRANSITIONS THAT PERPLEX THE READER

Quran Kareem is not an ordinary book. It comprises divine words of the mightiest Allah who is the only creator of this marvelous and mysterious world. It is a very powerful book, indeed. It comprises verses revealed on different occasions in order to declare any decree or responding to queries. People, at the time of the prophet’s presence, practiced their ancestral traditions until Allah revealed that He has chosen Mohammad PBUH as his messenger. When people accepted Islam, they begin to consult with the prophet about their rituals and traditions. Allah guided people through his commands revealed on his chosen prophet to respond to their questions and enforce divine laws. This unparalleled revelation was copied as it was therefore the reader might experience incoherence in the verses. But it won’t puzzle you longer if you carry on reading it with true spirit of guidance. Allah mentions a question in a specific chapter and answers it in a different chapter. Mankind is nothing but an ordinary being to break down the literal wisdom underlying behind the guise of apparent scripture but if, for someone, Allah decides for He is superior.

APPLICABILITY

You are living in an advanced era. Quran Kareem depicts universal laws applicable for all times; past, present, and future. While reading, you would notice many fables from the past keep coming frequently. The objective of depicting those fables is to aware readers to ponder on consequences that occurred when people demonstrated disobedience, infidelity, or paganism. When his commands were neglected, his might inflicted severe agony over them. He secured their leftovers as signs of his might.  

PREVENTION DUE TO LANGUAGE BARRIER

A native language speaker can speak his own language fluently, tactically, flawlessly, idiomatically, professionally meanwhile a foreigner might confront difficulties speaking like a native. You may be choosing to learn Arabic prior to reading Quran Kareem. It is not mandatory at all. You can read the translated versions for an accurate understanding. Your accurate understanding is the key to dive into and grasp the deeper essence guided about in the divine book. Its immerse power lies behind absorbing life-changing charisma conveyed in the simplest tone and style. It’s obvious you would find dissimilarities in the translations by different translators, but you would definitely realize the context remains indifferent despite translation variations. It falls back up to your own wisdom to link the scattered divine wisdom and obtain pure quality knowledge from it. Your true inner/spiritual peace resides within the sphere of Quran-centered life.

SPECIFIC REPRESENTATION

Quran Kareem’s revealability corroborates brotherhood between Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Sequential prophecies continuously predicted the arrival of every next messenger of Allah Subhana. Many people are up-brought with the misguidance that Quran does not accept their Prophets. If you critically study Quran, you will find out that Quran endorses the lessons taught by previous Prophets and accepts Bible, Torah, Zaboor as divine words of Allah. Quran is not only for Muslims, it is for the entire world. It has convincing facts uncovered to prove its credibility. It respects previous prophets and their followers. Quran is not for Muslims only. It guides everyone who believes in one Allah.
