Assalaamu alaykum

Allah Most High says,

ٱقْرَأْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ﴿١﴾ خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ ﴿٢﴾ ٱقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْأَكْرَمُ ﴿٣﴾ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَ بِٱلْقَلَمِ ﴿٤﴾ عَلَّمَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ ﴿٥

Recite in the name of your Lord who created - (1) Created man from a clinging substance. (2) Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous - (3) Who taught by the pen - (4) Taught man that which he knew not. (5)

[Qur'an, Al-Alaq 96:1-5]

It’s our duty as Muslims to learn Arabic and to understand the true meaning of the words in the Quran. Arabic is a vast and deep language in the Quran, and each word has its own essence; their original meaning can conquer hearts if we only strive to understand. Otherwise we will be just like those Muslims who do not know what the Lord wants from them.

The Quran effects hearts according to the condition of iman (faith). If there is strong iman in a heart one can understand more as compared to a Muslim who has weak iman.

Abu Musa quoted that the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace), "the guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me are like abundant rain which fell on a land. A fertile part of it absorbed the water and brought forth profuse herbage and pasture; and solid ground patches which retained the water by which Allah has benefited people, who drank from it, irrigated their crops and sowed their seeds; and another sandy plane which could neither retain the water nor produce herbage. Such is the similitude of the person who becomes well-versed in the religion of Allah and receives benefit from the Message entrusted to me by Allah, so he himself has learned and taught it to others; such is also the similitude of the person who has stubbornly and ignorantly rejected Allah’s Guidance with which I have been sent." [Bukhari]

May Allah bring us closer to Him and grant us sound understanding of His Book and religion. Ameen.

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.

And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all.

Wassalaam
