The book of Allah is the
life of spirit
The food of
the spirit is the book of Allah (Glory to Him). A believer should have a
portion of the book of Allah to have a divine balance and not to be exposed to
the problems of this life and not to be attacked by mental and psychological
diseases, so Allah ordered us to recite the Koran during prayers. The prophet
(May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to recite a lot of it
in dawn prayer to charge the hearts by light and transparency from the verses
of the book of Allah. When the hearts finish prayers after charging by these
luminous loads, it will be as Allah says:
"In
order that you may not be sad over matters that you fail to get, nor rejoice
because of that which has been given to you." (Surat Al-Hadeed, verse 23)
They become
dependent upon Allah's bounty and all their matters directed by Allah, so they
don't have these diseases in their lives. The companions of the messenger of
Allah (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to say:
"A day
in which man does not start by verses from the book of Allah, he will be
troubled all of it."
What can
remove worry and sadness? To start the day by verses from the book of Allah to
be as Allah says:
"And
We send down from the Koran that which is a healing and a mercy to those who
believe." (Surat
Al-Israa, verse 82)
Allah
didn't say We sent down, but He said We send down in the present
continuous for those who recite it by deep thinking and submission to Allah.
Allah sends him healing as He says in another verse:
"And
a healing for that (disease of
ignorance, doubt, hypocrisy and differences, etc.) in your breasts, "
(Surat
If we think
about the diseases that attack man at this time, we see that they are the
worries and distresses in chests, they can only be removed by the light of the
book of Allah, it is what can protect man from every hardship.
We recite
it in Ramadan, but after Ramadan we took a vacation to the next Ramadan as if
Allah only ordered us to recite it in Ramadan, why doesn't a Muslim always
recite it?
Whoever
can't recite, he can listen to it on condition that he listens carefully as
Allah says
"So,
when the Koran is recited, listen to it, and be silent that you may receive
mercy." (Surat Al-A'raf,
verse 204)
A Muslim
shouldn't speak with people while listening, if someone speaks with him, he
should say Sadaka Allah Al-Azeem and closes the recorder or the radio.
The Koran O
my brothers is the food of minds, the health of spirits and the success of male
and female believers in this life. Allah as I said before, made food for all
realities apparent and hidden, when a believer gives to each reality its proper
right, he is directed by The King of kings (Allah), He guides him either in
dream or by inspiration. He may see in his dreams as the companions of the
prophet (upon him the best pray and the most perfect peace) did, the prophet
(May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to pray the dawn prayer
with them, turns to them and ask them:
"Who
saw a dream this night?"[1]
Then every
one tells him his dream, because they slept in clear and pure condition, so
Allah took their souls to the highest kingdom to nourish them by clarity,
pureness and directions that make all their lives clear, pure and away from
troubles and distress. Or Allah may direct him by inspiration in his chest as
Allah says:
"If
you obey and fear Allah, He will grant you Furkan (a criterion to judge between right and
wrong)," (Surat
No one
could trick him because he has light to show him the way. The light of the lamp
only shows bodies, but the light of the Furkan coming from Allah shows the
tricks in eyes, the artifices in chests and every hidden thing in this life.
Whoever sees by the light of Allah, the prophet (May the blessings and peace of
Allah be upon him) says about him:
"Be
afraid of the believer's insight, because he sees by the light of Allah and
utters by the guidance of Allah."[2]
The words
that he says, no one could find them wrong to blame or punish him, why? Because
Allah says:
"And they are guided (in this
world) unto goodly speech and they are guided to the Path of Him Who is
Worthy of all praises." (Surat Al-Haj, verse 24)
Whoever
reaches this condition, he has no concern with the problems of life,
sustenance, how he lives, children and how they will marry, because Allah says:
"We provide sustenance for you and for them (your children);"
(Surat
Do you have
the key (causes)? Or are you with Allah (The Causer)?

Salama, she attributed these narrations correctly to the prophet, Al-Mostadrak
Lel-Hakem.
