The Book that Guides

This verse reveals the Quran's mission for the believers.

وَهُدٗى وَرَحۡمَةٗ وَبُشۡرَىٰ لِلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ

and as guidance and mercy and good tidings for the Muslims.

Quran, An-Nahl 16:89

In this verse, Allah describes the Book revealed to His Prophet. He calls it a clear exposition of all things. He also describes it as guidance, mercy, and good tidings for the Muslims. These three words show the richness of the Quran: it directs, it comforts, and it brings joy.

When we read the Quran, we can look for these three aspects. It guides our choices, consoles our sorrows, and announces a beautiful reward. Today, let us take a moment to welcome this guidance.

Open the Quran, read a few verses, and ask Allah to make them for you a guidance, a mercy, and good tidings.
