Quran is rope of ALlah, so where is Quran?
in Books?
There were no books at the time of Prophet and Sahab...
So where is Quran?
Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Volume 6, Chapter 31, Hadith No. 3788:
Zaid bin Arqam narrated that Muhammed said: "Indeed, I am leaving among you, that which if you hold fast to them, you shall not be misguided after me. One of then is greater than the other: (First is) The book of Allah is a rope extended from the sky to the earth, and (the second is) my family, the people of my house (ahlul bait), and they shall not split until they meet me at the hawd, so look at how you deal with them after me." (Sahih)
Quran is in the Soul of those who received from Prophet spiritually and whoever wish to be guided to Islam they must seek guidance from Awliya Allah. Those who are up on lineage to the Prophet Muhammad (alaihiswalathu wa salam)....and those who followed them in Ihsan. They are Awliya Allah,Imams of Ahlu Sunnah wal jamah and Imams of Ahlu Bayth.
So where is Quran, is it in printed Books?
Mountain can't hold Quran, remember that paper is weakest among things.
Can paper hold which mountain cannot hold?
Quran,Chapter 59:21-21"Had We sent down this Qur’an on a mountain, verily, you would have seen it humble itself and cleave asunder for fear of Allah, such are the similitudes which We propound to men that they may reflect".
"My ummah will be divided into seventy three sects. All of them will be in the Fire except one", [Saheeh Muslim, no.976)
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
The only sects enter in Paradise is the one who follow Awliya Allah and the lineage of Prophet Muhammad (alaihiswalathu wa salam).
As Prophet said:"Quran and my lineage never split until it reaches near my pond"
So stop self study and self tarbiyath...if you are living for Allah and His Messenger, then obey those who are in authority.(4:59)
Do not think that people who have no spiritual lineage can guide you.
If they can guide you with Quran and Hadith, then look at all this 73 sects have same Quran in their hand. And Quran is the rope of Allah, then why they are all misguided except one?
Where is the real meaning and knowledge of Quran?
It is Awliya Allah, who possess the knowledge of Quran, so follow them and be in saved sect.
So follow Imams of Madhab,Imams of Aqeedha and Shaykhs of Tasawwuf.
Do not follow self study and university originated scholars and shaykhs. They are strayed and they will stray you. They will say do not follow any Madhab blindly. But they are blind, they are making you blind too..2:2. This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear
Allah;
