Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim, Exalted Aphorisms And Pearls Of Speech The Qur’an The Quran-القرآن The Qur’an is the better of the two forms of guidance. 1ـ اَلْقُرْآنُ أفْضَلُ الهِدايَتَيْنِ. Excel in your recitation of the Qur’an, for it is indeed the most beneficial (or the best) of stories, and seek cure from it, for it is the cure for [what is in] the breasts.

2ـ أحْسِنُوا تِلاوَةَ القُرْآنِ فَإنَّهُ أنْفَعُ (أحْسَنُ) القَصَصِ، واسْتَشْفُوا بِهِ فَإنَّهُ شِفاءُ الصُّدُورِ. Follow the light that is not put out and the face that does not become old, and surrender and submit to its command, for indeed you will not go astray with submission [to it]. 3ـ اِتَّبِعُوا النٌّورَ الَّذي لايُطْفَأُ، والوَجْهَ الَّذي لايَبْلى، واسْتَسْلِمُوْا، وسَلِّمُوا لأمْرِهِ، فَإنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَضِلُّوا مَعَ التَّسليمِ.

The best reminder is the Qur’an, through it the breasts are expanded and the souls are illuminated. 4ـ أفْضَلُ الذِّكْرِ القُرْآنُ، بِهِ تُشْرَحُ الصُّدُورُ وتَسْتَنيرُ السَّرائِرُ. Verily the outer aspect of the Qur’an is elegant and its inner aspect is profound [in meaning]; its marvels do not end, its wonders do not cease, and the darkness [of ignorance and misguidance] is not removed except through it.

5ـ إنَّ القُرْآنَ ظاهِرُهُ أنيقٌ، وباطِنُهُ عَمِيقٌ، لاتَفْنى عَجائِبُهُ، ولاتَنْقَضي غَرائِبُهُ، ولا تُكْشَفُ الظُّلُماتُ إلاّ بِهِ. Verily this Qur’an is the adviser that does not deceive, the guide that does not lead astray and the speaker that does not lie. 6ـ إنَّ هذا القُرْآنَ هُوَ النّاصِحُ الَّذي لايَغُشُّ، والهادِي الَّذي لايُضِلُّ، وَالمُحَدِّثُ الَّذي لايَكْذِبُ. Reflect upon the verses of the Qur’an and learn lessons from it, for indeed it is the best imparter of lessons.

7ـ تَدَبَّرُوا آياتِ القُرْآنِ واعْتَبِرُوا بِهِ فَإنَّهُ أبْلَغُ العِبَرِ. Learn the Qur’an, for it is indeed the spring of the hearts and seek a cure from its light, for verily it is the cure of the hearts. 8ـ تَعَلَّمُوا القُرْآنَ فَإنَّهُ رَبيعُ القُلُوبِ، واسْتَشْفُوا بِنُورِهِ فَإنَّهُ شِفاءُ الصُّدُورِ. Hold fast to the rope of the Qur’an and take counsel from it, consider as permissible what it permits and forbidden what it forbids, and act on its injunctions and rulings.

9ـ تَمَسَّكْ بِحَبْلِ القُرْآنِ وانْتَصِحْهُ، وحَلِّلْ حَلالَهُ، وحَرِّمْ حَرامَهُ، وَاعْمَلْ بِعَزائِمِهِ وأحْكامِهِ. The charm of the Qur’an are [in the surahs] al-Baqarah and Aāl ‘Imrān . 10ـ جَمالُ القُرآنِ البَقَرَةُ وآلُ عِمْرانَ.
