"[This is ] a blessed Book which We
have reveled to you [O Muhammad],
that they might reflect upon its verses
~ and that those of understanding would be
reminded" [Surah 38:- Sa'd : 29]
"No person can afford to be ignorant of the Qur'an, for it
is the constitution revealed by God (Allah) to regulate and govern human life.
It speaks with perfect knowledge of the Creator about his creation. It exposes
the truth. It contains important information about human destiny and that of the
individual. It educates and raises men to the highest moral, intellectual and
social level when they strive to comprehend it and apply its teachings to
life."
