Status of the Al-Qur'an








" When the Quran is read, listen to it with attention,
and hold your peace: that ye may receive Mercy
. " Quran Al-A'raf(7):204



Rasulullah (Sallallahualaihewasallam) said:
'When a man dies and his relatives are busy in funeral, there stands an extremely handsome man by his head.

When the dead body is shrouded, that man gets in between the shroud and the chest of the deceased.

When after the burial, the people return home, 2 angels, Munkar and Nakeer(names of two special Angels), come in the grave and try to separate this handsome man so that they may be able to interrogate the dead man in privacy about his faith.

But the handsome man says, 'He is my companion, he is my friend. I will not leave him alone in any case. If you are appointed for interrogation, do your job. I cannot leave him until I get him admitted into Paradise '.

Thereafter he turns to his dead companion and says, 'I am the Qur'an, which you used to read, sometimes in a loud voice and sometimes in a low voice. Do not worry. After the interrogation of Munkar and Naker, you will have no grief.'

When the interrogation is over, the handsome man arranges for him from Al-Mala'ul A'laa (the angels in Heaven) silk bedding filled with musk.

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) said:
'On the Day of Judgement, before Allah, no other Intercessor will have a greater status than the Qur'an, neither a Prophet nor an angel.'



*****************************



Our Lord! Behold we have heard a voice calling us unto faith: "Believe in your Lord" and we have believed. Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and efface our bad deeds and take our souls in the company of the righteous. (3:193)

[Wahai Tuhan kami! Sesungguhnya kami telah mendengar seorang Penyeru (Rasul) yang menyeru kepada iman, katanya: Berimanlah kamu kepada Tuhan kamu, maka kami pun beriman. Wahai Tuhan kami, ampunkanlah dosa-dosa kami dan hapuskanlah daripada kami kesalahan-kesalahan kami dan matikanlah kami bersama orang-orang yang berbakti (yang banyak berbuat kebajikan). (Al-Imran : 193)]
