Holy Quran is a book of Muslims that was revealed to Prophet Muhammad in different stages over the period of 23 years. All the Muslims believe that the book of Holy Quran contains the sacred words of Almighty Allah. It is still present in its same original form as it was revealed some 1400 years ago. Holy Quran was the revelation of Almighty Allah to Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) in the Arabic language.

Some fragments of Quran are so old that they were revealed in eighth and seventh century. The oldest copy so far is from the ninth century. Some of the early variants of Holy Quran are still present. There are almost 114 chapters in the Holy Quran that are written in very old Arabic dialect. The longest Surah of Quran is Surah Baqarah with 286 verses , while the shortest one is Surah Al-Kawther that has only 3 verses.
Holy Quran is further divided into 30 different parts, that are known as juz. These divisions make the reading of Holy Quran very easy for all the Muslims during the course of month and most of them will read only one juz each day, especially during the Holy Month of Ramadan.

Translations of the Holy Quran is present in 40 languages, however Muslims still learn to recite the Holy Quran in the Arabic language, as it is the language of Holy Quran. Memorizing Holy Quran is a noble act and any person who accomplishes it is known as Hafiz. He will be among  noble person on the last day.

Most of the entrepreneurs of today are thinking about ways to make their business run successfully. They look upto companies like Amazon.com, Nordstron and Zappo and try to adopt marketing strategies of these companies and also take business lessons from them. After doing some research I found out that all these companies have put customer service at the top of core values of company.

If the rules and concept of dawah are implemented then this would certainly help in enhancing the sales of your business. A good Quran Teacher will tell you about the rules of dawah that are told by the religion Islam. Given below are some ways by which you can enhance your business.

* Always try to be honest with your customers, especially when your company has messed up anything. Don’t worry much about your boss.
* · Try to be gentle with your customers even if they piss you. It is stated in a Hadith: “Allah’s mercy descends on one who is gentle at the time of buying, selling, and requesting payment.”
* Learn from the companies like Amazon, Zappos and Nordstrom and listen to the sayings of your customer. Most of the times they are the biggest critics and you can improve through their criticism.
* Another important thing that you can do is to reward your customers. This is one of the most effective method for keeping the customer happy.

It is quite clear that people use dawah for inviting people to Islam and they always remember you by the ways how they treated you in the first impression. As Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran:

“Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from His way, and He is most knowing of who is [rightly] guided”. (16:125)

Professor Armstrong was asked various questions about the verses of Quran related to his field of work and specialization. He was asked: “ You discovered and saw the true nature of the astronomy and by the use of equipments like satellites and rockets that are developed by man. You have also seen the facts that are mentioned by the Holy Quran various centuries ago. So what is your opinion about the relation of the findings of science related with Holy Quran?

Professor Armstrong was quite astonished to see the findings and he said that I am very much impressed with the findings of Holy Quran and how they correlate with the modern science, he also admitted that “ I am not sufficient enough scholar of the human history to project myself some 1400 years ago and predict all the truth.  If you Learn Quran, you will find about some of the greatest truths about astronomy that scientists have explained today.

He explained that there are some findings beyond his understandings and an ordinary human being will not be able to account for the writings that have been seen. Upon asking about the facts of Quran, Armstrong said:

” I am quite impressed by finding the true facts of astronomy in the Holy Quran, and for all the modern astronomers who are studying a small piece of universe. As with the help of telescopes, we are only able to see the whole universe. So by reading Holy Quran, we think that we can find more ways for the future investigations.”

There comes a time in every person’s life when they find themselves inclined greatly to think what they are here for in this world, the purpose of their life, who created them, and most importantly, who created all of this (the whole universe).

This state of mind, when not addressed appropriately by feeding appropriate answers to it, can lead a person to get strayed; not only becoming oblivious to everything going around him, but also from his own being.

To stay away from such a situation, the best way is to heed to what creator of the whole universe, i.e. The Mighty Allah tells you to, and that is nothing other than teachings of Quran and Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Quran learning is the best way to go for, if you want to achieve this purpose.

You will better understand this by going through the content of Qur’an as explained in this chapter of the Holy Book:

In the Name of God, the Lord of Grace, the Ever Merciful We have always sent messages (of guidance) as a mercy from your Lord. He alone is the One who hears all and knows all, the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if only you were firm believers. There is no deity other than Him; He gives life and deals death. He is your Lord and the Lord of your earliest ancestors. Yet they remain in doubt, playing about. (Smoke; Al-Dukhan; 44: 5-10)

This shall serve a motivation and inspiration enough to compel every single person in this world towards Quran Learning, because this is just one instance of Holy Qur’an, with whole of it filled by specimens like these. That is why learning of Quran is so important as per Islamic traditions.

Allah has blessed us with the Holy Month of Ramadan which enables us to gather blessings and mercy of Allah by which we can come close to him. Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him) was the one to set this example. Those who believed in Muhammad and his teachings followed his path to be successful among the noble persons. The best advice that anyone can give to a person is to fear Allah during this blessed month as well as recite Online Quran to get the mercy of Allah.

But the month of Ramadan has special merit and significance that Allah has described and it is a unique occasion for performing good deeds. The Prophet would then supplicate to Allah in order to allow him to reach Ramadan. The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) has encouraged his companions to strive hard for performing good deeds during the month of Ramadan. The good deeds include prayer, charity, showing goodness and kindness, being patient while obeying Allah and spending his day with fasting, 1 night of praying and one hour of Quran recitation in order to get Allah’s mercy.

For some people the month of Ramadan has nothing to offer except various types of food and beverages. So they go to great extent in giving up their souls what they desire and then spend lot of time in buying foods and drinks. We all know that eating too much food can result in laziness and thus a person might not be able to devote whole time for worship.
