and forbidden. Therefore, it is an easy matter for believers who
listen to the voice of their conscience and avoid the selfish
promoting of their lower selves to find the truth. The Qur'an contains
advice that is full of wisdom. Its wisdom and the goodness enjoined in
its verses are clear. Sincere believers whom Allah has put on the
right path can understand it without difficulty and implement its
truths in their attitudes and ideas, for the Qur'an is "guidance for
humanity, with clear signs containing guidance and discrimination"
(Surat al-Baqarah: 185).
However, only those who fear and respect Allah, abide by His decrees,
submit to Him in their heart, and choose the next world to this one
can consider its advice:
We did not send down the Qur'an to you to make you miserable, but only
as a reminder for those who have fear [and respect for Allah]. (Surah
Ta Ha: 2-3)
This is a major secret of the Qur'an. It does not take a high
intellect, a broad culture, or any special ability to understand the
Qur'an; it is only necessary to have sincerity. Allah reveals the
truth to His sincere servants and brings them to salvation. The Qur'an
has been sent to humanity, but is the way to the right path only for
those who fear and respect Him and believe in the Last Day:
Those are the signs of the Wise Book - guidance and mercy for those
who do good. (Surah Luqman: 2-3)
O humanity, admonition has come to you from your Lord, and also
healing for what is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the
believers. (Surah Yunus: 57)
Given the above, we can see that the Qur'an contains advice for
everyone and guides the observant and generous Muslims to the right
path. As the great Islamic thinker Bediuzzaman Said Nursi said:"The
All-Wise Qur'an is the leader to the aware and the conscious, the
guide of jinn and men, the teacher of those attaining to perfection,
and instructor of those seeking reality."7 In order to bring humanity
out of its darkness and into the light, Allah revealed the answer to
every question to those who seek it in their conscience:
We have sent down the Book to you making all things clear and as
guidance and mercy and good news for the Muslims. (Surat an-Nahl: 89)
...We have not omitted anything from the Book - then they will be
gathered to their Lord. (Surat al-An'am: 38)
This is a manifestation of Allah's mercy toward His servants.
Moreover, Allah lets us know something about Him through the Qur'an.
For example, He reveals that He created the universe from nothing,
rich beyond need of any being, is beyond defect, knows everything, and
sees and hears every secret. Besides this, He revealed why and how
human beings were created; what kind of life will win His approval;
the existence of the Day of Judgment, Paradise, and Hell; taught human
beings how to pray and be good, how to be sound in body and spirit,
and what to do in times of difficulty and unexpected situations; and
described the various kinds of human character. But He has also
revealed far more than just these things, for some verses point to
scientific truths and knowledge as well as how to solve personal and
social problems. In other words, the Qur'an contains all of the basic
knowledge necessary for every moment of a person's life:
In this way We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an and have given
various warnings in it so that, hopefully, they will have fear of
Allah or that it will spur them to remembrance. (Surah Ta Ha: 113)
We have spread throughout this Qur'an all kinds of examples for
people, but most people spurn anything but unbelief. (Surat al-Isra':
89)
We have spread throughout this Qur'an all kinds of examples for
people, but, more than anything else, humanity is argumentative.
(Surat al-Kahf: 54)
Allah tells people to obey His decrees absolutely, to take Him as
their only friend and guardian, and that the only purpose of life is
to win His approval and mercy and thereby reach Paradise. The only
criterion for living is the Qur'an, and the only way to follow is the
way of Prophet Muhammad (saas).
Allah, Who was pleased to choose Islam as the religion for His
servants, revealed the Qur'an as a guide to which they could refer and
made the life of our Prophet (saas) an example for them. All other
paths are errant and false, based only on myths, heresy, and opinion.
Therefore, people can hope for a reward from Allah only if they take
the Qur'an and the Prophet's (saas) Sunnah as their measure of
judgment, obey Allah's commands fully by always doing good works to
win His approval, and take the Prophet's (saas) moral character as
their example.
As Allah revealed in the Qur'an, His words are "perfect" and people
can only reach the truth by following the Qur'an and the Prophet's
(saas) Sunnah, for:
"Am I to desire someone other than Allah as a judge when it is He Who
has sent down the Book to you clarifying everything?" Those to whom We
have given the Book know it has been sent down from your Lord with
truth, so on no account be among the doubters. The Words of your Lord
are perfect in truthfulness and justice. No one can change His Words.
He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. (Surat al-An'am: 114-115)-
