3: Who sent the Quran?
Another important point that helps us gain benefit from the Quran is that it is the Book of Allah. While it may seem obvious, we tend to overlook. All the teachings, commands, prohibitions, wisdom and stories have been revealed by none other than Allah; the Creator of the Universe, The Most Knowledgeable, The Most Wise and The Most Loving.
Can He who loves you more than your mother command something that is harmful for you? Can He who is All-Wise and All-Knowing say something that is wrong? Whatever He has given us in the Quran is 100 % true and perfect. This is why Allah reminds us again and again that it is He who has revealed the Quran. For e.g. He says in the beginning of Surah Ghafir:
“The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.” (Quran 40:2)
When we remember this, it removes all doubts and hesitation from our hearts, knowing that we are following nothing but true words.
