Virtues of Quran

Hadhrat Abu Zar (Radhiyallaho anho) then enquired about the contents of the booklets received to Hadhrat Musa (Alaihis salaam). Rasullullah
(Sallalllaho alaihe wasallam) said,” They contained monitions only, such as ‘I am astonished by one who finds pleasures in anything in spite of his faith in the certainty of death.’ (Naturally when a person becomes sure of his sentence of hanging, and mounting the gallows, he can never find pleasure in anything). ‘I am astonished at who laughs in spite of his faith in certainty of death.’ ‘I am astonished by one who observes accidents, changes and revolutions of the world all the time, and still finds satisfaction in it.’ ‘I am astonished by one who believes in predestination, still suffers from grief and hardship.’ ‘I am astonished by one who believes that he will soon be required to render an account and still does no good deed.” (pg. 50)
