Of all of the hundreds of thousands of species current on our planet, human beings are the one ones endowed with speech – the power to articulate our ideas and feelings into phrases. Phrases are the device of communication, the unit of speech, the constituents of language. They’re what join us to different homo sapiens.
Who can deny the facility of phrases? Phrases may help us join, or disconnect; they’ll assist in communication or trigger miscommunication. Phrases have the facility to mesmerize, to besot, to flatter; simply as they’ve the facility to offend, to anger, to deceive.
But, regardless of their indispensible function in human connection and communication, we people are excessively careless with phrases. We waste them and misuse them and exploit them.
In line with analysis, ladies communicate a median of 20,000 phrases every day, whereas males communicate round 7000. God is aware of what number of of those phrases are completely mandatory, and what number of are spoken out of utter mindlessness. In accordance the Regulation of Trigger and Impact, “Each human thought, phrase and deed is a Trigger that units off a wave of vitality all through the universe which in flip creates the Impact whether or not fascinating or undesirable.” Therefore, we must always really feel accountable and accountable for the phrases we utter (ladies particularly!), as our phrases are repeatedly affecting the universe. House could also be a vacuum that may suck sound, however phrases are extra than simply sound, they comprise feelings, emotions, sentiments.
Though all people have been endowed with speech, but we routinely encounter such people who seem extra gifted within the artwork and ability of articulation, who simply appear to have a approach with phrases. They’ve the ability to take advantage of and manipulate phrases to their very own benefit. And whereas such phrases might declare to comprise the reality, but, they might be false, and sometimes deceptive. The reality is that the one phrase which comprises the Absolute Fact is the Phrase of God.
Not like the phrases spoken by males, the Phrase of God comprises Fact, Mild and Steering in each letter. It protects the guts and thoughts from being corrupted, and guides it in direction of the straight path. The facility of human phrases is nothing in comparison with the facility of Divine Phrase. Whereas phrases spoken by people can break hearts, God’s phrase mends and heals hearts, reconstructs the damaged schemas of the self and brings order and symmetry to life. No phrase uttered by any human being, regardless of how clever or alluring, can ever maintain a candle to it.
The Quran states:
If We had despatched down this Qur’an upon a mountain, you’ll have seen it humbled and coming other than worry of Allah. And these examples We current to the folks that maybe they may think about. (59:21)
How can we, who crumble earlier than phrases spoken by individuals, ever comprehend or apprehend the facility of God’s Phrase? Can we, within the coronary heart of our hearts actually imagine that this one Phrase, this one Guide comprises steerage for all occasions, and comprises an answer to each one in every of our issues?
As soon as, when Allama Iqbal’s father noticed him studying the Quran, he suggested him to, “learn it as if it was addressed solely to him.” That is one recommendation all of us ought to heed. It’s a miracle of the Quran that in occasions of misery while you open the blessed e-book, you’re sure to come across a verse or ayah that may definitely handle your downside.
The topic of the Quran is the Human Being, which it addresses not solely on the particular person, but additionally on the collective stage. It speaks to individuals and it speaks to nations. In his well-known Persian work Javednama, Iqbal says,
Look at your individual conscience, and the Quran—
100 new worlds be inside its verses,
entire centuries are concerned in its moments;
one world of it suffices for the current age …
Thus this Final handbook of Life is there not simply to information us within the trivia of life, however to additionally direct nations learn how to vogue their destinies and to create new worlds for themselves and for the remainder of humanity. Because of its ‘melioristic’ outlook, the Quran preaches that the world can change into a greater place by means of human effort and wrestle. Our job, particularly in the course of the Holy month of Ramazan, is to reconnect to our soul by means of this True Phrase despatched by God. If phrases join us to one another, then Divine Phrase can join us not solely to one another, however to our personal selves, and may help us find which means on this world round us.
