Importance of Being Passionate about the Quran
Developing a love for the Quran leads to being able to speak passionately about it without the need for formal public speaking training. It is crucial to speak articulately about the Quran from a place of inspiration and contemplation, rather than aiming to become a public figure or influencer. By deepening one's connection with the Quran and sharing its lessons passionately, individuals can inspire others and make learning the Quran easier and more meaningful.
Significance of Raising a Messenger from Within the Community
Allah's decision to raise a messenger from within the unlettered people highlights the importance of choosing someone intimately connected to the community. By selecting a messenger from within the society, who is also considered one of them, Allah ensures that the message is relatable and accepted without external factors hindering its reception. This approach eliminates excuses for the community to reject the messenger, as his upbringing and background are known and aligned with their own.
Unique Communication Strategy in Choosing a Messenger
The term 'batha' is used to describe the appointment or raising of a messenger, emphasizing the process of selecting someone for a specific mission. The prepositions used with 'batha' such as 'Ila' and 'Fi' signify different aspects of sending or appointing someone, each carrying specific meanings. By employing 'Fi' in the Quranic verse, Allah indicates the intimate and embedded nature of choosing a messenger from within the community, ensuring a deeper connection and understanding of the message.
