Surah Yunus, Ayat 108


Ayat 108. Say: "O you mankind! Now truth (i.e. the Quran and Prophet Muhammad  [SAWW](PBUH), has come to you from your Lord. So whosoever receives guidance, he does so for the good of his own self, and whosoever goes astray, he does so to his own loss, and I am not (set) over you as a Wakil (disposer of affairs to oblige you for guidance)." 

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) was the most generous of the men; and he was the most generous during the month of Ramadan when Jibril visited him every night and recited the Qur'an to him. During this period, the generosity of Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) waxed faster than the rain bearing wind. [Al-Bukhari Volume 3, Book 31, Number 126]. 


Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Yunus Ayat 108. ""O you mankind! Now truth (i.e. the Quran and Prophet Muhammad  [SAWW](PBUH), has come to you from your Lord." This Hadith induces us to do two good things frequently and with full preparation in the month of Ramadan. First, benevolence and generosity so that people get maximum time for worship and reduce their mundane affairs during this month. Second, recitation of the Qur'an and Mudarsah, (reading and hearing the Qur'an from one another) as is done by two Huffaz in this manner. The reason for the stress on the Qur'an is that the Qur'an and the month of Ramadan are closely linked with each other. The Qur'an was revealed in this month.
