We are in the month of the Holy Qur’an, the month of Ramadan or the month of fasting and devotion to the Almighty Allah.

The month of Ramadan is a month of the Holy Qur’an as we all know. It’s the month in which the Holy Qur’an was first revealed to prophet Muhammad (saw). That’s why we all try our best to read the Holy Qur’an in Ramadan as many times as we can.

But the question is, how committed are you to the Holy Qur’an even before the arrival of this month of Ramadan?

If you are someone who doesn’t read the Holy Qur’an but only in the Ramadan, then you are missing something big of rewards from ALLAH.

In Hadith, ROSULULLAH (saw) said:

(لله عز وجل من الناس اهلون، قيل ومن هم يا رسول الله: قال اهل القران، هم اهل الله وخاصته)

ALLAH exalted He is, has family (chosen people) among people. The companions asked: O’ the messenger of ALLAH, who are the family of ALLAH among people?

And He said: they are the people of the Holy Qur’an. Those who always read the Holy Qur’an, they are special people (like a family) to ALLAH.

Won’t you be the most happiest person on earth to be classified as a family member of ALLAH because of your commitments to the Holy Qur’an?

If you have not started reading and learning the Holy Qur’an, it’s not too late to be among the special people of ALLAH. Read the Holy Qur’an, because that’s the whole of Islam and it’s a guidance to mankind.

May Almighty Allah use the blessing of this Ramadan to clear up the contaminated pandemic that is killing people all over the world, kidnapping, rapping, killing and many more difficulties that we are facing in Nigeria.

RAMADAN KAREEM
