[quote][quote] [size=1]1. is it  a source of hidayat for the [i]muttaqeen[/i] only?

2. Do you have to be a [i]muttaqi[/i] to acknowledge hidayat from the Qur'an that will change one's life.

3 If someone is already [i]muttaqi,[/i] then does he still need hidayat?

4 Are we saying that [sub]non muttaqi's [/sub] or non muslims should not read it as they are unlikely to get hidayat from it.?[/size=1] [/quote]
[size=1][blue][b]Dear brother Waseem,

According to the Qur’an, Hidayah (Guidance) is of two types:

Type 1: Faith that resides in the heart. (None is able to create it except Almighty Allah)

Pl see 28:56, 22:272, 7:186.

Type 2: to explain the Truth, give direction and lead to it.

Pl see 42:52, 13:7, 41:17. (also see 90:10 which testifies the above meaning.)

Answer to questions two, three and four will also depend on the meaning of the word [i]muttaqi[/i][/b][/blue][/size=1]

[quote] [size=1][i][b]The conventional translation of muttaqi as "God-fearing" does not adequately render the positive content of this expression - namely, the awareness of His all-presence and the desire to mould one's existence in the light of this awareness; while the interpretation adopted by some translators, "one who guards himself against evil" or "one who is careful of his duty", does not give more than one particular aspect of the concept of God-consciousness.(Quran Ref: 2:2 )[/b] [/i]

[blue][size=1][b]Further I would like to state that a firm belief (faith)in the fact that the verses are truely the Words of Allah is necessary if one has to benefit from it.
Also, unless one has belief (faith) in the unseen (gaib) one will not take heed from the guidance.

I quote the verse 2:2 and the English translation of its meaning from [i]Muhammad Asad [/i][/b] [/size=1][/blue]

[green][b][font=Book Antiqua]ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابُ لاَ رَيْبَ فِيهِ هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ [/font=Book Antiqua] [/b] [/green]

[font=Century Gothic][green][b][i][size=1]2:2 THIS DIVINE WRIT - let there be no doubt about it is [meant to be] a guidance for all the God-conscious[/size=1][/i][/b][/green][/font=Century Gothic]
