What is Tadabbur al-Qur’an?

Explanation: Qur’an is Composed of Learning Texts designated as Wisdoms. The Learning Texts of Qur’an designated as Wisdoms are based on Principles indispensable to success in hereafter.

The Learning of Qur’anic Texts as Tadabbur al-Qur’an is thus simplified to the point of convergence to “Adoption of the very Principles and Ensuring the Principles as working in all sensible actions and transactions carried out in waking life of an individual”.

To reiterate, it is attempt futile to get indulged in search for meaning and connotations of self-evident principles of Learning in nature.

It would be meaningless to search and research for meanings and connotations for truths exposed as Learning Maxims to follow and uphold.

{(This is) a Scripture that We have revealed unto thee, full of blessing, that they may ponder its revelations, and that men of understanding may reflect.} (Sad 38:29)

The holy attempt to learning as Tadabbur al-Qur’an is thus all about an exercise of introspection to look into the degree and conformance to demands and expectations of the principles of sincerity in practice, piety in approach, modesty in action, extending kindness to others apropos recognition of mercy showered upon one’s own self from God Almighty, acting righteously and behaving with justice in all transactions of waking life etc.
