"[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."
