The Qur'an - a Book often spoken of, yet many people are unaware of what the Qur'an says. QuranicPath aims to portray the path of Allah (God) as shown in the Qur'an.
4) Love for Allah
The definition of belief in the Qur'an is complete devotion to Allah and Allah alone. The Hereafter is absolutely inescapable. The Believer is devoted to Allah because he knows he will certainly give an account of everything he did in the world... ( Read )
5) Understanding the Believers
The people around a believer may find it strange seeing his or her consistent right actions.

7) The Religion of Nostalgia
Among people are those who think themselves into believing that they are on the right path. These people lead their lives thinking they are the types of people who have Allah's approval.

When we look back
at our past, everything seems to be like a single moment. Years
spent doing something seems to appear as one moment in time.
All the things you did in your life from this point on till the
beginning of your life, does not seem representative of the
effort it took to live through each moment of them. When you
lived through those moments, you felt the stress, strain and
anxiety of the mental and physical demands each situation posed
on you. Yet, it all seems like it never happened now because it
has come to pass and become a single point in memory...

Selected Verse
1) Understanding the Arabic Language does not Mean One Understands the Qur'an
The majority of the people assume that if one understands the Arabic language, it means he is capable of understanding the Qur'an. They are also quick to dismiss anyone who has a point to make about the Qur'an's verses, if they are not an Arab or do not speak Arabic. A consistent feature of these sorts of people is that they themselves know little about the Qur'an... ( Read )
3) Reading the Qur'an but Practicing Something Else
There is a prevalent culture among Muslims where they only view the Qur'an as a way of gaining reward for reciting out loud the Arabic words correctly. Such people think that they hold the Qur'an in high esteem, but this only keeps them away from studying the Qur'an as they should. Parents teach their children how to pronounce the Arabic words and send their children to evening schools to learn to recite the Qur'an correctly. Such people do not deny the importance of the Qur'an, but their idea of the role of the Qur'an is extremely mistaken and shallow... ( Read )

8) Twisting the Qur'an with Tongues
Because of their mistaken belief that something taken from elsewhere has the credibility of the Qur'an, they think they have the right to say to every one 'it is in the Qur'an' (literally) to give their false claim authority, knowing very well it is not there. Allah has identified these sorts of intentional twisters of Allah's Scriptures in a Verse... ( Read )

14) The Only Legitimate Consumers of Earth's Blessings are the Believers
Allah has created all blessings on earth
solely for the purpose of mankind thanking and praising Him for it. This
includes all things in life, from the sweet taste of a fruit, the
fragrance of a
rose, the delightful clothes that we wear, or our spouses whom we enjoy, and
everything else we posses and find joy in.
Allah gives us these blessings solely so that we show thanks in return...

17) Using the Qur'an as a Bait
These sincere converts continue to learn about religion from the majority of so-called Muslims around them, but have no idea how much they have strayed from the true Book of Allah. They feel convinced they are on the right path due to the others around them also being on that un-Quranic path... ( Read )

A believer who understand that his or her duty is to uphold all the teachings of the Qur'an is on a refined path. None of the teachings of the Qur'an imposes impracticality or beyond reasonable obligations as stated in a verse we mentioned earlier. For example, a believer may dress according to his or her culture and tradition, though modestly and this is absolutely fine. He or she will not claim that another way of dressing such as the Arab style is better while dressing differently, since it is not from the Qur'an. There is no element of his or her faith which is not implemented at any moment. As stated, this is because the Qur'an is a guide which can be fully implemented easily...

We will briefly look at how the true believer is saved from the woes of everyday life of the mass, and earns the good life in this world, promised by Allah... ( Read )

When they realised they had no other way but to turn to Allah for help, they most probably sincerely sought Allah's help in a manner which they never did before. In that moment, they surrendered themselves completely to the will of Allah... ( Read )
9) The Plight of the Hypocrites
The term "non-Practicing Muslim" is often used by ignorant people who have not grasped true faith as described in the Qur'an. Those who consider themselves "practicing" freely use the term as well as the group being referred to by the term. This term is used to describe a group of large number of people who have an Arabic name and have parents who are considered Muslim, but openly do not lead a life endorsed by Allah's religion...

When a believer finds another believer, his or her love for that believer transcends all worldly criteria... ( Read )

20) Taking the Religion of Islam as a Dogma
