Ep.2 – Qur‘an: the foundation for Revival

Allah (swt) said: ˹Consider, O Prophet,˺ the Day We will call against every faith-community a witness of their own. And We will call you to be a witness against these ˹people of yours˺. We have revealed to you the Book as an explanation of all things, a guide, a mercy, and good news for those who ˹fully˺ submit.

And the address of Allah (swt) to those who did not learn and appreciate its content, He (swt) related them to Donkeys who bear and carry goods on their backs but do not take advantages and benefits from the burden that they bear.

"The example of those who were entrusted with ˹observing˺ the Torah but failed to do so, is that of a donkey carrying books. How evil is the example of those who reject Allah’s signs! For Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people"

For Us Muslims, The Quran is the guidepost and the fundamental reference point and It is what defines and regulates life for us.

Allah (swt) said : "All living beings roaming the earth and winged birds soaring in the sky are communities like yourselves. We have left nothing out of the Record. Then to their Lord they will be gathered all together"

The Quran is what lead a group of people living in the deserts of Arabia to be the most revived and loftiest of the People.

’Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Verily, Allah elevates some people with this Qur’an and abases others.”

In this Podcast our discussion revolves around the following subjects – How do we take the Quran as a basis for revival and upliftment of the Ummah ? Did Foreign ideas affect and influence Islamic Uloom (Sciences) and how did the Ulama (scholars) dealt with it? How the Islamic Uloom (sciences) were sythesised to serve the Quran?

We join Shaykh Shuayb Wani to discuss these issues.
