Characteristics of the Qur’an

Bismillah walhamdulillahi Rabbil ‘Alameen, was Salaatu was Salaatu ‘alaa Ashrafil Anbiyaa’i wal Mursaleen.

عن النواس بن سمعان رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول‏:‏
‏”‏يؤتى يوم القيامة بالقرآن وأهله الذين كانو يعملون به في الدنيا تقدمه سورة البقرة وآل عمران تحاجان عن صاحبهما ‏”‏
‏رواه مسلم‏

An-Nawwas bin Sam`an (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam saying, “The Qur’an and its people who applied it, will be brought on the Day of Resurrection preceded with Surat Al-Baqarah and Surat Al-`Imran arguing on behalf of their companions.” (Muslim)

May Allah ta’ala make us amongst the people of the Qur’an, Ameen.

This page is dedicated to studying and learning the Characteristics of the Qur’an. Just as we cannot love Allah, His Messenger or His deen without having knowledge of them, we also cannot love the Book of Allah or act upon it without knowing its qualities.

    You actually forgot one characteristic: ‘Qur’an’!
    There is a whole discussion to it being referred to as Qur’an.

    check out this lecture from a conference at our Masjid.: http://blip.tv/file/1793478/
