According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the definition of the word ‘miracle’ is: “An extraordinary and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws, and is, therefore, attributed to a divine agency.”

The Quran is a unique book. It is completely unlike any other book you have ever read. This is so because it is the Speech of Allah, God, in the Arabic language. There are many things which vouch for the fact that the Quran is divine text and is a miracle in itself. Here are some of the miraculous attributes of the Quran:

1. 1. The Quran is in the Arabic language, yet no writer, Arab or non-Arab, has ever been able to produce a text matching the majesty and power of the Quran using the same letters and the same language. In fact, the Quran, itself, has challenged those who scorn it without reading it, to come up with a book similar to it, or at least to produce just ten chapters equal in grace and depth to those of the Quran; nay, even a single Surah of matching quality. It is a historical fact that no one has ever been able to take up the challenge. The reason is simple: the Quran is divine speech and, hence, it cannot be reproduced by mere mortals.

1. 1. Like most people of the time, Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was totally unlettered. That is, he could neither read, nor write. There is absolutely no possibility, therefore, that he could have read any other divine text, copied from it, and then written the Quran himself. This is yet another proof that the Quran is divine text and, therefore, a miracle.

1. 1. Another fact is that there is absolutely no contradiction or discrepancy in the Quran. The Quran has survived intact, word for word, for hundreds of years. It is still as consistent and accurate as it was when it was first revealed almost fifteen hundred years ago, and there are no signs that this will ever change. No other book in the world has survived unchanged for that long a period.

1. 1. There are several scientific facts related in the Quran pertaining to various branches of science, from medicine and biology to astronomy and physics, the discovery of which came about many centuries later, although they had been accurately mentioned in the Quran. Scientists are, therefore, astounded when they read the Quran.

1. The Quranic text, hence, is a divine miracle. All miracles are from the one, omnipotent and omniscient, God, even those that people tend to ascribe to other people or things.

A parable of how divine speech differs from human speech – and one which is applicable for all God’s creation – can be observed in the common earth soil upon which people walk every day. This soil is made up of elements whose properties have been thoroughly studied by scientists and are well established. Yet, the most advanced products man has been able to manufacture out of soil is bricks, tiles, assorted containers, such as pots and jugs, or at the most various types of composite buildings. But Allah, on the other hand, has created life with these same elements of the soil.

The Quran – The Speech of Allah in the Arabic language – is similar to the example just given in that it uses although it employs the letters of the Arabic language, yet it is far superior to the ordinary Arabic language in its meaning and grammar. The second Surah, or chapter, of the Quran opens with these words:

“This is the Book; there is no doubt about it; a guidance for those who are conscious of, and fear, God.” Al Quran, Surah 02, Ayah 02.

This is an implicit example of the divinity of the Quran. The Arabs of the time when these verses of the Quran were revealed could not imagine producing anything like it, even though it was an era when the Arabic language was at its finest and most refined form. Yet, neither the Arabs of that era, nor has anyone ever since – Arab, or non-Arab – been able to replicate the superior vernacular of the Quran. That is why the people of those times were certain that the Quran was divine speech and they readily embraced its message of true monotheism. This holds true even nowadays. Anyone who reads the Quran becomes certain that it is The Speech of Allah and accepts Islam despite every effort to portray Islam negatively.

Thus the Quran first establishes the divine origin of its message, and then clearly proclaims that only those people would benefit from it who fear God. That the Quran is the unadulterated word of God, there is no doubt. Anyone who reads the Quran with an open mind and an unbiased heart will discover this fact right away. All it takes is clearing one’s heart of any traces of arrogance; for arrogance is the mark of obstinate people, and read Quran with a sincere wish for guidance and knowledge.

But what if one does not know how to read Quran? Thanks to modern communications technology, one can easily learn to read Quran online nowadays via the internet. Just search for a reputable online Quran school and register for online Quran lessons, and you will be on your way to the most amazing experience of your life.

However to get an idea of the reward of the Quran Recitation, we might consider the following verse.

“And when you recite the Quran, We place between you and those who do not believe in the hereafter a hidden barrier”. Quran Al-Isra [17:45]

The more we think about it the more we realize the benefits of the Quran recitation. Allah Almighty promises to place a barrier between those who recite Quran and those who are non-believers. Can a person who does the Quran Recitation ask for more? Consider the following verse of the Holy Quran.

“And that I should recite the Quran. Therefore, whoever goes aright, he goes aright for his own soul, and whoever goes ‘ astray, then say: I am only one of the warners”. Quran An-Naml [27:92]

The Muslim parents have a responsibility of teaching the Quran to their children. The must encourage the Quran Recitation by their children as the rewards for this are immense. It is easier for the children to learn the Arabic script even when they are non-Arabs. In fact, the things learnt in the childhood usually, last in the memory for life. It does not mean that the adults cannot learn to recite the Quran in Arabic. It is easily possible with the help of a teacher trained in all the aspects of teaching the adults.

When the Quran Recitation has such, huge rewards it comes naturally to the mind that there must be some manners that should be observed for it. The Muslims must respect it from heart and take it seriously.

Before starting the Reciting Quran, a person should make sure that he is “pak” or clean in terms of the Islamic requirements. The person should perform ablution. Both, the Muslim men and the women should cover their satar properly to recite the Quran. Moreover, the Muslims should try not to make a mistake while reciting the Quran. If they are in learning phase, the recitation session should be administered by a qualified teacher.

The Muslims should also never forget that there are some manners, which must be observed even when one is listening to the Quran Recitation.

Allah Almighty says in the Quran,

“And when the Quran is recited, then listen to it and remain silent, that mercy may be shown to you”. Quran Al-Araf [7:204]

Some Islamic scholars say that listening to the Quran Recitation silently is compulsory in the Quran. The listening of the Quran Recitationis also a cause of virtues for the Muslims.

The manners of the Quran Recitation are not just limited to thephysical aspects and conditions.There are some spiritual conditions for the people who recite the Quran. Consider the following verse as the reference.

“So when you recite the Quran, seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan” Quran An-Nahl [16:98]

The above mention verse clearly explains the spiritual manners of the recitation of the Quran.

Quran the book for the muslims. As every religion has its own holy books, Quran is the holy book respective to the Muslim religion. It is a gift to human beings by the God. Quran has about 30 Chapters, 114 Surahs and 5500+ verses for guiding the humans towards their ultimate goal. Holy Quran consists of the rules and regulations for the general life of human beings. Because of some misunderstandings general people (other than Muslims) do not have a positive attitude for the teachings of Quran. But there are many historical and scientific prospects of Quran. With a detailed study of Quran anyone can understand its intention for human behavior.

The Quran particularly, is the ideal way to accept God religiously as well as mentally. The invitation to replicate on God’s signs is well said all through the Quran. Quran says, not to accept any information until unless you verify it, for which the god has gifted us the eyesight, brain, and senses. God has asked us to read the holy Quran very carefully.

In scientific prospects of Quran, it has so much scientific content in itself. The new researches by the scientist which are coming in the light in current scenario are described in Quran deeply. It is described in Quran that everything in this mortal world is derived from the word “Allah”, which has a deep resonance frequency. The big bang theory is the reflection of separate heaven and earth theory in Quran. In other scientific respects of Quran, the progress of a human child in mother’s womb is explained well in Quran from the generation of ovum up to a human child.

In historical aspects of Quran, it has the accurate historical events like the destiny of Pharaoh. Other historical facts of Quran include the defeat of Persians in Issus battle with the Romans. So, Quran has rich historical segments as well in its verses.

Verses of Quran gives a confirmation that God has given us proofs of His existence and also in the whole universe. It all gives a call to read, reflect and verify. Unhappily, some conventional Muslims still hadn’t accepted the great miracles of The Quran and find it hard to accept that God has a solid proof of its existence in Quran. It just exposes the ignorance of them towards God and Quran despite the fact that historical and scientific prospects of Quran have been proved.

According to the sculptures, there are a dozen of reasons, why Muslims should follow the Quran and nothing else should affect or amend the religious laws of Islam. The Quran contains God’s law that lay down the rituals and practices of worship, but also meant to attain justice. The Quran always offers solid and uncomplicated clear-cut solutions. If there is more than one solution, it always gives allowance for complicated or extraordinary conditions.

So, as per the present time holy Quran should be learned in the light of historical and scientific prospects of Quran. It is the main reason behind the fact that Muslim religion is growing and is a very large community now. It is another important fact that the virtues of True Islam are the consequences of Quran and derived from the customs of Muslim religion.
