MORNING SUPPLICATION IN SEHRULLAH - Post 3

 

In the very beginning Imam Zayn al Abedeen (SA) shows how transformation happens in Ramazan.

Step 1- Discipline the Body

Through fasting, the body becomes quiet. Desires weaken and self-control increases.

Step 2- Purify the Heart

Through restraint and repentance, spiritual impurities begin to fall away

Step 3- Illuminate the Mind

Now finally  the Qur'an can be read not just with the eyes but with the heart. The Qur'an then becomes guidance (Hudā) and criterion (Furqān).

Imam (SA) describes the three powerful qualities of Quran

Hudā - Guidance for humanity

The Qur'an shows the path.

Bayyināt - Clear proofs

The Qur'an clarifies what the mind may find confusing.

Furqan - The Criterion

The Qur'an enables the believer to distinguish truth from falsehood.

But this guidance is truly effective only after the heart has been prepared.

Ramazan therefore acts as a purification process so the Qur'an can penetrate the soul.

A Beautiful Analogy

The scholars often explain this with a simple image:

The heart is like soil -The Qur'an is like rain

If the soil is hard and dry, rain simply runs off the surface.

But when the soil is softened and prepared, rain nourishes life.

Ramazan softens the soil of the heart.

Thus Ramazan is not merely about finishing recitations of the Qur'an. It is about becoming the kind of person who can receive the Qur'an. Alhamdolillah!
