Surah Yunus, Ayat 56-57

Ayat 56. It is He Who gives life, and causes death, and to Him you (all) shall return. 

Ayat 57. O mankind! There has come to you a good advice from your Lord (i.e. the Qur'an, ordering all that is good and forbidding all that is evil), and a healing for that (disease of ignorance, doubt, hypocrisy and differences, etc.) in your breasts, - a guidance and a mercy (explaining lawful and unlawful things, etc.) for the believers. 

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Once the Prophet  [SAWW](PBUH) said "Every Prophet was given miracles because of which people believed, but what I have been given, is Divine Inspiration (Quran) which Allah has revealed to me. So I hope that my followers will outnumber the followers of the other Prophets on the Day of Resurrection." [Al-Bukhari Volume 6, Book 61, Number 504]

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Yunus Ayat 57. ""O mankind! There has come to you a good advice from your Lord (i.e. the Qur'an)", This Hadith evidently shows the importance of Quran and its faithful following and the practice of the Prophet  [SAWW](PBUH). The followers of the Prophet  [SAWW](PBUH) exceed the followers of other Prophets in number. Only such people will be successful who act upon the teachings of the Qur'an and abstain from what is forbidden by Allah. The Muslims of the early centuries of Islam were blessed with great honour by Allah because they loved and applied the Qur'an. Because of this meaningful attachment with the Qur'an, they made great achievements in religious and worldly spheres. Those who neglected the teachings of Islam will be disgraced and humiliated. May Allah guide and enable us to re-establish our contact with the Qur'an so that we can regain our past glory. Exaltation and humiliation mentioned in the Hadith is bound to happen in both this life and the Hereafter.
