Recite the Quraan with no other purpose than to come nearer to your Lord and seek His guidance and good pleasure. You should seek guidance from the Quraan, for your total life, and only from the Quraan. It is the word of Allah; and it requires as much exclusiveness as He does. One who desires worldly ends from the Quraan may get them, but he shall surely lose a whole ocean that could have filled his cup. One who has the Quraan with him and yet goes to other sources for guidance, is surely running after mirages.
