An Example on how to reflect upon the Verses of The Noble QuranDo they not then ponder and reflect about the Quran, or are their hearts locked up?The Noble Quran (47: 24)
The Answer (Conclusion)
Why did Allah (God) Almighty use the word ponder and did not use the words (simply read) The Noble Quran?
Ponder is to think and reflect upon the verses of The Noble Quran. Thus this this the best way to understand and benefit from the Noble Quran
The Manner in which the Noble Quran is approached Now A DaysReading without pondering about what is read
Questions to reflect upon:What are you doing for the sake of Allah ?(God) Almighty What is the goal you are striving for in this life?
Do you really love Allah ?(God) and His messenger
What is The Goal you are ?striving for in This Life
People in their knowledge of the purpose they were created for
90% 9.999%They do not know it and do not care to know it
They follow weird ideas and philosophies that are far away from Islamic teachings
0.001%The minority know their goal in life as stated in the Noble Quran
Not knowing the purpose a person was created for leads to the following results:
Increased interest in clothes, food, gossip, pointless conversations, . Trying intoxicants, drugs, etc. Depression, which leads to:
Reduced productivity Increased anger Deep sadness and losing the will to live Hating oneself and others
Dishonor, need for others, and inability to be productive
And surely, Allah (God) has created many of the jinns and mankind for Hell. They have hearts wherewith they understand not, they have eyes wherewith they see not, and they have ears wherewith they hear not. They are like cattle, nay even more astray; those! They are the heedless ones.The Noble Quran (7: 179)The person who does not know the purpose he was created for
In The Name of Allah (God) Almighty The Most Compassionate The Most Merciful
Why the analogy between the two is given in the Noble Quran?
The Cattle
Eating and drinking
Eating and drinking
Procreation
Procreation
Many people do not the purpose they were created for in life, and thus they are lower than the cattle
The cattle know their purpose in life by default (by installed guidance from Allah (God) Almighty)
What is The Goal you are ?striving for in This LifeThe Answer to this Question can be found in The Noble Quran
7. O you who believe! If you make Allah (God) victorious , He will make you victorious , and make your foothold firmThe Noble Quran (47: 7)
Allah (God) Almighty teaches us in this Quranic verse the purpose He created people for which is to make the creator victorious on earth
How does a person make Allah (God) victorious?
A person makes Allah (God) Almighty victorious by striving to make His word supreme and this is done by propagating the faith
Allah (God) Almighty promised victory to the person who strives to make the word of the creator supreme
160. If Allah (God) makes you victorious , none can defeat you ; and if He forsakes you , who is there after Him that can make you victorious ? And in Allah (God) let believers put their trustThe Noble Quran (3: 160)
Allah (God) Almighty states that if a person strives to make His word supreme then Allah (God) will make him victorious and non can defeat him
In contrast if a person lets down Allah (God) by not striving to make His word supreme then Allah (God) Almighty will forsake him
From this Quranic verse we find the answer to the question which is (Why Muslims are not victorious?)
The answer is that because the majority of Muslims forsake Allah (God) by not striving to make His word supreme
Victory and high status will not be for the Muslims unless they realize this truth and strive to make the word of the creator supreme by propagating the faith to people as a whole
Miracles of knowledge found in the Noble Quran and the teachings of Prophet Mohammad peace be upon Him represent the continuing miracle which testifies to the truthfulness of the message contained within the Noble Quran. Which believers can use to strive to make the word of Allah (God) Almighty supreme by showing this miracle to people as a whole
What are you doing for the Sake of Allah (God) Almighty?
What are you doing for the sake of Allah (God) Almighty?
Prayer, fasting, religious taxes

You do this for yourself to earn heaven
Pilgrimage
You do these actions to comes closer to Allah (God), to earn blessings, to wipe out your bad deeds, etc.
You do this for yourself to earn heaven
Doing good to people
You do these actions to comes closer to Allah (God), to earn blessings, etc.
You do this for yourself to earn heaven
All of the above actions you do for yourself
The question now is: what are you doing for Allah (God) Almighty and you want heaven in return?
What Allah (God) Almighty wants you to do for Him is given in verse 7 of chapter 47: O you who believe ! If you make Allah (God) victorious then He will make you victorious and make your foothold firm. Allah (God) Almighty wants you to make Him victorious and this is done by striving to make His word supreme (i.e. propagating the faith of Islam)
This strive to make the word of the creator supreme is done by showing the miracles of knowledge found in the Noble Quran and the teachings of Prophet Mohammad peace be upon Him to the whole of mankind, as shown in this website .
Do you really love Allah (God) and His Messenger?
Do you really love Allah (God) and His messenger ? A Muslim says that he loves Allah (God ) and His messenger more than anything else
If you love a person and his teaching
Then you would strive to spread his teachings
Most Muslims do not strive to spread the word of Allah (God) Almighty
And when your love for the person increases then your strive to spread his teaching also increases
Thus Muslims who say they love Allah (God) and do not strive to spread His word are in fact hypocrites and do not really love Allah (God) Almighty
In The Name of Allah (God) Almighty The Most Compassionate The Most Merciful
But honor, power and glory belong to Allah (God), His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and to the believers, but the hypocrites know notThe Noble Quran (63: 8)
Why did Allah (God) use the word hypocrites and not disbelievers?
The Answer: It is possible that dishonor might befall a hypocrite Muslim and not just a disbeliever
A hypocrite Muslim: The one who shows the opposite of what he believes in (i.e. shows the love for Allah (God) and His Messenger but in his heart there is no such love)
