My Favorite Book
A Room without Books is Like a Body without a Soul - Cicero
There Are indeed books and books, and there are books which as Lamb said are not books at all. Ive read both types, the worthless as well as the useful but Ill mention only that one which really impressed me.
I remember, Holy Quran was the first book I recited. Its a religious book revealed on Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be upon Him) from Allah Almighty through Jibrael e Ameen.
It was revealed in Arabic, in the Holy Month of Ramzan. The first verse revealed on Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be upon Him) is:
Read! In the Name of your Lord, who has created you! He created man from a clot of blood. Read, and your Lord is the Most Gracious, He who has taught by the pen, Taught man what he did not know. [Surah Al Alaq
-4]-[Holy Quran]
The last verse was revealed at Hajja tul Wida. The verse is quoted below:
This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. [Surah Al Maaida-5]-[Holy Quran]
For easy daily recitation the Holy Quran is divided into 30 equal parts called Para, contains 7 Manzils, 114 Chapters (Surah), 540 Ruku, 14 Sajda(s).
Some Surah (Chapters) were revealed in Makkah and others wese in MAdina.
Holy Quran is the book in which Allah told us about the five Pillars of Islam:
It is the word of Allah Almight, Revealed in Ramazan.
On reading the Qur'an one is at once convinced that it is the Word of Allah, for no man can write such perfect guidance on so many subjects.
The Book of Allah is like an ocean. The less learned, like children, collect pebbles and shells from its shores. The scholars and thinkers, like pearl divers, bring out from it the highest philosophy, wisdom and rulse of a perfect way of living.
Anyone can Hifz Holy Quran. Many Muslim Children Hifz the Holy Quran at the age of 5 to 7 and above without even knowing the meaning of it, which is the open Miracle of Allah.
The Holy Qur'an says that no man will be able to forge even a part of it and that no corruption shall touch it from any side. It is a miracle that the Holy Qur'an has remained unchanged and unaltered during all these 1400 years and it shall remain so till the Day of Resurrection, for Allah, has taken it on Himself to protect it. By saying:
