How many of you were born into a Muslim family?

How much of what you practice do you think isinfluenced by culture?

Can you honestly, hand on heart, say you have fallenin love.......with Islam?

Many of us find this difficult because we feel we wereborn into this without choice and so may not value it.

Some of us feel we have yet to discover what it reallyis.

Others unfortunately have not been shown the realIslam and so have a distorted view.

The order of the Qur'an has a purposeand the order of the revelation of theverses in the Quran also has a purpose.

The revelation of the Qur'an oftenresponded to specific problems orincidents at that particular time.

During the first 13 years of Islam, the main

task of the Prophet (saws) was to callpeople to Islam based on the Qur'anicrevelations that focused on the Onenessof Allah and righteous conduct.

When Muslims migrated to Madinah and anIslamic community started to be well-established and new challenges emerged, themain focus of the revelation was to guide the

life of Muslims through detailing the rulingspertaining to different acts of worship andsetting punishments for crimes and so on.

This shows us that the revelation in each of thetwo stages has a purpose. When the revelationstage was completed, the whole Qur'an wasthere and the whole message was put in theorder that was intended for it to stay till the Dayof Judgment.

Q: What has the order of the revelations got to do withfalling in love with Islam.

A: Its the order you should follow to establish Iman.

How do you fall in love with something without gettingto know it beforehand.Trying to establish prayers or quit drinking, music etc before you undoubtedly believe in the articles of faith, beforeyoure convinced there exists only One God, before your heart is filled with love for all theProphets (pbut), before you have tried to rectify your characteris like trying to run before you can even crawl.
