Conditions to benefit from the Holy Quran

The Holy Quran was revealed for the guidance of the whole of the humanity. It gives glad-tidings to those who believe in Allah سبحانه وتعالى as their creator and sustainer and earn good deeds. It also gives warnings to those who disbelieve in Allah سبحانه وتعالى and are involved in evil deeds. The message of The Holy Quran is universal and any human being can seek guidance from it towards the straight path of success (Sirat-e-Mustaqeem). However, there are certain pre-requisites to understand and gain full benefit from the teachings of The Holy Quran and some of those mentioned by the Holy Quran are as follows: • To ward-off evil deeds for fear of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. • To fear that all human beings are going to be summoned to Allah سبحانه وتعالى on the Day of Judgment. • To ponder about the purpose of creation of the universe and the human life. • To listen attentively with your ears and your heart when the verses of the Holy Quran are recited. • To submit your life to the pleasure of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. • To develop willingness to follow the commandments of the Holy Quran as a means to a successful life. • To repent if bad deeds are committed rather than persisting on them.
