Most People May Mislead You

As They Follow ‘Opinions’

It's Your Duty To Seek The Truth

From The Main Source – The Quran!

(M. Javed Naseem)

“These are verses of the Wise Book

(al-Quran), a Guide and a Mercy

to the doers of good.”

(al-Quran 31:2-3).

The Holy Quran is the divine source of knowledge, learning, information and guidance. All knowledge comes from Allah, the Almighty, and the Quran is His word. He guides whom He wills and bestows knowledge and guidance upon he who seeks guidance and strives for it.

Therefore, we should always seek and follow the true guidance of Allah, the Almighty, the best source of which is the Quran and the best model or example of which is our Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.). The knowledge of the Quran will protect us from all those who are out there to spread fabricated traditions and the sayings of the Prophet – Ahadith. The enemies of Islam have hired Muslims and non-Muslims to create 'Fitnah', dissent and confusion among the believers. They have created sects in Islam while Allah commands us not to create sects or divide Muslims in different groups following and promoting some particular ideology, hatred, division, sectarianism and misconceptions.

The knowledge of the Quran will eliminate the intermediary Mullah (the so-called ‘scholar’ or ‘sheikh’) and nobody would be able to fool you or misguide you in the name of ‘Deen’ or Islam. But our lack of knowledge of the Quran will leave the door open for all ‘doctors’ and preachers to present to us their own brand of Islam. Those brands never existed during the time of the Prophet (s.a.w.) and the Caliphs Abu Bakr and Umar bin al-Khattab.

So, in the name of Allah, please educate yourself and get the first-hand knowledge from the main source! Read the Quran with its translation in your own language! Study it again and again with attention and you'll see how guidance comes to you. Allah helps those who help theselves.

“The Truth (comes) from Allah alone;

so be not of those who doubt!”

(al-Quran 3:60)

Read the Arabic text with translation in your language, again and again and again. You will be amazed how clear the things get for you. That’s the Guidance! You can discuss the verses of the Quran with as many people as you like but always use your own head; and check things out on logic and reason. Listen to your heart and you can’t go wrong! Allah the Almighty warns us in the Quran:

“If you obey most of those on earth,

they would mislead you far from Allah's way.

They follow naught but an opinion, and

they do but guess.  Lo! Your Lord,

He knows best who errs from His way; and

He knows best (who are) the rightly guided.”

(al-Quran 6:116-117).

“One day We shall raise from all peoples a witness

against them, from amongst themselves; and

We shall bring you as a witness against

these (your people - Muslims); and We have

sent down to you the Book explaining all

things, a Guide, a Mercy, and Glad Tidings

to Muslims.”

(al-Quran 16:89).

In the Bible, Prophet Jesus (Isa) called all those corrupt preachers and hypocrites ‘doctors’. Yes, they are doctors of religion. They perform surgery on the Scriptures. They bring changes and innovations to the religion. They also monopolise the religion to make money. They don’t want general people to get true knowledge of religion as it hurts their business. But Allah warns them:

“Nor sell the covenant of Allah for a miserable

price, for with Allah is (a prize) far better

for you, if you only knew.”

(al-Qurtan 16:95)

Allah is Infinite Truth and all truth comes from Him. As a matter of fact, anything and everything that comes from Allah, comes in Truth. A believer cannot deny it. The Truth guides you to the right path which leads to Paradise.

“Verily this Quran does guide to that which is most

right (or stable), and gives the glad tidings to the believers

who work deeds of righteousness, that they shall have a

magnificent reward.”

(al-Quran 17:9)

We are free to choose our own path – right or wrong, and we’ll be rewarded or compensated accordingly. Our choices and decisions lay the foundations of the final abode. Our place in Heaven or Hell depends on our choices in this world. Allah, the Most Merciful, has made everything clear in the Quran to guide us. Those revelations have guided millions of Muslims who have passed before us and those are still guiding us and others who are seeking guidance. You cannot deny those revelations. Allah has issued a strong warning to those who deny His revelations.

“Say, ‘The truth is from your Lord’.

Let him who will believe, and let him who will,

reject (it); for the wrong-doers We have prepared

a Fire whose (smoke and flames), like the walls

and roof of a tent, will hem them in. If they implore

relief they will be granted water like melted brass,

that will scald their faces, how dreadful the drink!

How uncomfortable a couch to recline on!” –

(al-Quran 18:29).
