I do not know much about the quran, which muslims I think follow as guidance for life ?

Question

I just downloaded the holy qur'an onto my desktop to learn.

Where in the holy qur'an does it teach a person how to develop inner stable peace of mind ?
And where does it teach a person how to cultivate patience and compassion toward
oneself and toward others ?

I am seeking to improve myself, and am searching for ways to do this thru scriptures, and have, as mentioned above - have just downloaded the holy qur'an onto my desktop.

Where specifically, in what areas of the quran
do I go to, in order to have these questions answered so I can better myself, so I can become a more helpful person in life ?
Often I deal only with being helpful toward myself, and toward my wife and kids alone, and no one else.

Are there any Muslims out there that can possibly help me, teaching me where to go to in the holy quran to find these answers.

Thank You so much. May Allah bless you.

Answer 1

i think it will be useful if you buy a proper transaltion of the quran.
the quran is a healing for hardened hearts.
it's the most guidance giving book.
i think that you should complete all of it.
one good transalation quran would be ''Abdullah Yusuf Ali'' transaltion with commentry and transaltion also has arabic texts.
i've read the quran and i tell you it's the most perfect revelation may allah's peace be on muhammed.
may allah have peace mercy and blessings upon u.

Answer 2

Look, I'm a Muslim and i will try to help u as much as i can but i hope u keep up with me.
Holy Qur'an is 30 chapters, begin to read it then mail me and tell me the page u arrived 2.I will try 2 explain 2 u the meaning of what u have read.
GOD bless u 2, and i hope i got ur mail soon.

Answer 3

The whole Qur'aan speaks about inner stable peace of mind.
Please read it wholly and Pray to God, He is the only true Guide.

Answer 4

You could do what I did.

Download a version of the New Testament as well.

If you are looking to learn and develop inner peace.

Peace!

Answer 5

just reading Holy Qu'ran will make u better inside and outside.May Allah bless you and guide you to His Way.

Answer 6

I will say, first read Quran then Sunnah, then go back to Quran

Quran is the word of God. Sunnah describes it

Answer 7

i dont know how to specifically find the verses that relate to these things but maybe this will help look for certain things?

i agree that its better to read the whole Quran because you will be able to understand it more that way

Answer 8

No, you have to read all of it and then you will understand. if a Muslim wanted to guide you now they would have to write hundreds of sentences.

the best thing is to read the Quran for yourself and be patience.
