“Read the Qur’an., for indeed it will come on the Day of Judgment as an intercessor for its companions.” [Sahih Muslim] To be a companion of someone (or something) entails being in their presence most of the time and being with them wheresoever they are. To be a companion of the Qur’an. therefore means that we not only read it, but we accompany it throughout our lives – studying it, pondering over it, consulting it, memorising it, acting upon it, teaching it and defending it from the plots of its enemies. Indeed, to be from the people of Qur’an. amounts to being from the people of Allah as Anas ibn Maalik narrates that the Messenger (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) said,“The people of Qur’an., they are the people of Allah and His specialties.” [Ahmad, Nisaa’ee, Ibn Maajah] It’s important for us to strive to become companions of the Qur’an. and much of the destiny of this Ummah depends on this crucial factor – have we grasped it firmly, or have we abandoned it? “And the Messenger will say: “O my Lord! Verily, my people deserted this Qur’an.” [Al-Furqaan: 30] One of the ways that we can pull this Ummah out of its current suffering, oppression and disunity is to return to the Revelation as Imam Maalik (rahimahullaah) once stated, “Nothing will rectify the latter part of this Ummah except that which rectified the first part of it.” That was Quran Indeed.
