In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful




       What can the
         Qur’an
        give me?
(For Students of high school; WAMY – Jan 05)
The Ultimate Questions…
 – Suppose you wake up tomorrow in a
   nice new place with all the facilities
 – Questions…
Qur’an & Youth
– The same questions are valid for this
  world too!!!
– Get the answers directly from the
  Creator
– QUR’AN GIVES ME THE ANSWERS
  DIRECTLY FROM THE CREATOR!!! IT
  IS CREATOR’S BOOK!
Qur’an & Youth
– Can we neglect this? No!
– Who are we?
Qur’an & Youth
– Suppose you bring a computer. Plug it
  in 220V
– Did you read the manual?
– THE QUR’AN GIVES ME THE
  AUTHENTIC ANSWERS!
What happens when you open
         Qur’an?
   – How is the relationship between this
     book and Allah?
   – How is that different from other books?
   – Allah starts talking to you!
My Main Enemy?
– Who is enemy? Shaitaan. His plan: To
  take us to hellfire.
– His strategy (step by step)
Shaitaan’s strategy
– Most Important Aspect: Don’t get
  attached to the book of Allah.
– Example: For a future doctor/engr/mgr,
  ‘kill’ his/her education at school
– Alim vs. Abid?
Qur’an & Shaitaan?
– Al-Qur’an helps us in taking refuge in
  Allah from Shaitaan
– Al-QURAN SHOWS ME all kinds of
  attacks of Shaitaan and also as to how I
  can save myself
WHAT DO WE WANT IN THIS
         LIFE?
   – Peace & Happiness!
   – Means?... Success?
   – To get the success, whom will you
     follow?
   – And what did he (pbuh) have?
   – Qur’an guided him (pbuh) throughout his
     life.
Qur’an – the Ultimate
    Possession!
– People take so much pride in having
  precious items
– Qur’an is the ultimate possession, only if
  you realize it!!!
The Ultimate Possession
 – A noble laureate writes a letter to YOU..
   how to be successful. You will read it 10
   times.
 – Here is a book … Preserved 1400 years.
 – IT IS FOR ME… He sent M pbuh for
   me. Suppose everyone goes to Jannah
   and if I go to hellfire (may Allah protect
   me), then I am loser
The Ultimate Possession!
 – According to a research in Harvard
   University, when a person gets a job or
   promotion, 85% of the time it is because
   of ATTITUDE, and only 15% of the time
   because of intelligence and knowledge
   of specific facts and figures.
 – It applies everywhere
 – Any task: Either you don’t know how to
   accomplish or don’t want to do the work
For Teenagers
– Teenage
   is the most unstable part of your life
   Bustling with energy
For Teenagers
– Youth / Teenagers
– After this age, you will be making many
  critical decisions of your life..
        job;
        new friends/colleagues at job
        new settlements (countries,
        cities, ..)
        settling in a new place; new city;
        new environment; settle in life
Have a New Look at the Qur’an!
    – Don’t look at it from the abusive history –
    – Old book! What has it got for me in this
      21st century?
    – It is the most powerful Book authored by
      the Most Knowledgeable and the Most
      Powerful
Qur’an’s role in History
– Most important / influential (statement in
  the British parliament: as long as
  Muslims have Kaabah and Qur’an, we
  can not defeat them).
– Those who do not believe say that EB
  (Koran).
– In HUMAN HISTORY.. has created
  wonderful people. Who changed the
  history of the world.
– Even today.. it is the issue. Why?
Qur’an and History
– People are so blinded with the west!
– Think/live/act…
– but US is superpower for only 100 years.

– And Muslims… for more than 1000
  years.
– And why are they not powerful today?
  Because they have left it. yarfa’oo
  bihaadhal kitaabi…
Ideology rules!
– It is not the tech., not the gadgets, not money,
  and not power. It is the idealogy that rules.
– Leaders of powerful countries are not
  engineers / doctors but social scientists.
– Why are we suffering.. In Indopak context.. bad
  leaders
– Qur’an will give you the vision of leadership; the
  ideology
– You can be the leaders with Al-Qur’an, the true
  guidance
Qur’an & Youth
Some of you will
– invent things;
– will be leaders;
– For success you need positive attitude &
  Self-confidence.
– Qur’an fills in enormous positive attitude.
   Ibn-Taimiyah
How does it guide?
– Chandelier
– Space & time
How does it guide?
– You don’t need lectures
– 1 verse is enough to turn you on.
– Remember 1 verse of Allah > 1000
  lectures (if received with open heart)
– The actual challenge is: Mood and
  resources
How does it guide?
– You don’t have to be Hafiz
– You don’t have to wait till you know full
  Qur’an to get the Guidance
– Just keep pondering on what you know
– Ask Allah to guide (Ihdinassiraa…) and
  he can open your heart
– Example: Surah al-Fatihah
– Remember the hadith
Ultimate…
– Attitude
– Qualities of interaction (Hujarat)
– Confidence
– Hope
– Character
The Signs
– Qur’an : the revealed Book
– Universe: An open ‘Book’ of Allah
– Qur’an is not ‘colorful’ but when you link
  it with the Universe, every thing of the
  Universe confirms the message of the
  Qur’an.
– History becomes meaningful!
– Space and Time become completely
  integrated and speak about Qur’anic
  signs
Examples
– Upset about friends/teachers/brothers
  or sisters/assets:
     Liyabluakum…
     Ja’alna ba’dakum fauqa ba’d
– Impressed by creation
     Wa-la asghara min zaalika..
     Tusabbihu lahu..
Impressed by Inventions
  Wa-laa yuheetoona bishay…
Models of Success
– Quran gives me inspiration from true
  models of success
– to become strong spiritually
– to enjoy continuing spiritual and
  intellectual growth
Qur’an & Me
– Qur’an is for Musilms.
– But what is imp. is whether I follow it or
  not
– If I end up in paradise.. Successful; if all
  end up in paradise except me (may
  Allah forgive me).. It is a complete loss
  for me.
For the Hereafter
– How precious each word, line, .. A line
  may give some point which may prompt
  you to do something which will improve
  your status… (difference in grades of
  Jannah). All of us given the same paper.
   The only reason …
Start now…
– SO START BUILDING YOURSELF
  FROM NOW.
– ALLAH WILL BRING BACK ISLAM TO
  THIS WORLD. WILL DO IT WITH OR
  WITHOUT US, IN SPITE OF US.. We
  will be lucky to ourselves… Let us
  therefore follow it.
How can it give?
– Understand it first!!!
Qur’an can give a lot… but
  – We don’t know how to read Qur’an
    (French newspaper?)
  – Example: Dad and son
  – Last example. Why are you studying?
    Future of 40 years?
  – What about Eternal Future
Qur’an & Youth
– What is the relationship of the Qur’an
  with Ibraheem (a)?
– QUR’AN is what Ibrahim (a) had asked
  for me (among other things)!!!
Examples
– Tell me an incident in your life where a
  verse has affected you
– If it is in the area of worship, how did
  your worship change
– It is not the info that you get (perhaps
  you already know it) but did your heart
  get affected
