Narrated Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "The best among you (Muslims) are those who learn the Qur'an and teach it to others."
Islam does not merely makes it incumbent upon Muslims to learn the Qur'an, but also encourages them to be teachers of the Qur'an. Learning the Qur'an is a challenge in itself, being a teacher is even more so. However, neither learning nor teaching the Qur'an is merely an intellectual exercise. It requires a frame of mind that is ready to subject itself to the golden touch of its divine guidance. It is even truer for those who want to educate others about the Qur'an. To be an educator of Qur'an is among the highest and noblest pursuits for Muslims. When Muslims, who have received greater bounties from God in terms of talent and resources, would commit themselves to this pursuit and inspire their progenies to do the same, the Muslim society would chart a new course in history once again. One must remember that the Qur'an has come to change our lives by transforming our vision and outlook, our aspirations and desires, our behavior and personality at both individual and collective level. Limiting the Qur'an to a scope narrower than our entire spectrum of life is a gross injustice to both ourselves and the Qur'an.
