As mentioned, the Miftah Ul Quran in Arabic was exposed in the month of Islamic Book. But how was it divulged to our Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. for the first time, and what are the initial few verses that were exposed to him? The significance of Miftah Ul Quran learning can be understood in several instances. Reading Surah al-Mulk daily at night will save a person from punishment in the grave, as is the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad.
Well, it all commenced when Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.
discovered the cave of Hira’ on a mountain named The Mountain of Light, also known as ‘Jabal Nur’. As Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. felt restive and feeble with the decadence of the Meccan Quraisy, the Prophet s.a.w. discovered peace and consolation during his isolation in the cave of Hira’. Little did he recognise that on one of the days of his stay in the cave, Angel Jibril a.s. would visit him.
Learning the Miftah Ul Quran in Arabic is a very important practice
That every Muslim should be executing daily. It offers him or her information about all features of life, also brings him or her near to the Creator, and will be evidence of the rewards of his or her good actions on the Day of Judgment.
Learning the Miftah Ul Quran in Arabic is equally required for Muslim men and women
Muslims begin learning the Islamic book in the early years of life. The continuous connection with the Quran through its learning brings Muslims closer to the Creator. It also brings great blessings in this worldly life and will be a source of great reward in the future.
