Answer:
Found copy of quran
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah
Baqarah verse 185:
Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was sent
down: this Book is a Perfect Guidance for mankind and consists of clear
Teachings which show the
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 16 Surah
Nahl verse 89:
We have sent down to you this Book (the Quran),
which makes everything plain, and is a
guidance, blessing and good news to
those who have surrendered themselves entirely.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 18 Surah
Kahf verse 1-3:
All praise is for Allah Alone, Who has sent down this Book (the Quran) to
His Servant (Mohamed (saws), and
assigned nothing crooked to it. This
Book says everything directly, so that it
may warn the people of the severe chastisement of Allah and give good news to
the believers, who do righteous
deeds, that they will have an excellent
reward.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 14 Surah
Ibrahim verses 1-2:
This (Quran) is a Book which We have sent down
to you (O Prophet) that you may bring mankind,
by the help of their Lord, out of
the dark ways (of ignorance) into the Light (of knowledge), to the Way of that Lord, Who is All Powerful, and inherently All Praiseworthy, and the Owner of whatever is in the heavens
and the earth.
Beloved brother in humanity, do bear in mind that the Book
which you have accidentally found is a copy of the verbatim Words of none other
than the One Lord God Who Created the heavens and the earth and all that exists
between it. Rather than leaving this
wealth of guidance and salvation on a shelf, it would only be prudent to make
an effort to read this Glorious Book with understanding and allow its wise
wisdom to enter your heart…..perchance it may become a source of your guidance
and salvation in this world and the Hereafter as it has been for billions of
people around the world since its Revelation 1400+ years ago.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
