What does the Quran have to say?

This should be important to know for all who are concerned with humanity and peace in this world, torn apart by strife, hatred and violence. It should be important
whether one believes that the Qur’an is the Word of God or not.
To know what the Qur’an says is important because the Qur’an has made a deep
and abiding impact on the course of human civilisation and history in many
fundamental ways; because it has been inspiring, shaping, governing and
directing countless human lives over the ages, since it first appeared fourteen
hundred years ago.
And it still does.
The Qur’an, among all other books believed to be divine, is the only book which
itself claims, and is believed by its followers to be literally the word of God.
Those who first heard it from the lips of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and
blessings be upon him) had absolutely no doubt that, through him, God was
speaking to them. It totally transformed them; it quickened their hearts, ir
reshaped their minds; it made their eyes overflow with tears and their bodies
tremble with awe, it changed them into new individuals, as well as a new
society and polity; it led them to be leaders of mankind and founders of a rich
and flowing civilisation.
More significantly, what a remarkable testimony it is to the unique power of
the Qur’an that, in an age when God has been made irrelevant to human existence
and concerns, millions and millions of human beings- as much as one fifth of
the human race- still cling tenaciously to the book which they believe with
certainty to be the Word of God, as the only blueprint for a bright, progressive, post modern future.
It is still the supreme source of inspiration, guidance and comfort in their spiritual, moral, social and cultural lives, it still influences and shapes their way of thinking and conduct, both private and public, in innumerable ways.
To know what it says is therefore not only important for better inter- human understanding and amity, but it may be crucial for the destiny of mankind too.
However, everyone cannot venture to read the whole of the Qur’an, though its
length is less than that of the New Testament.
Yet everyone should have the opportunity to taste the delicious fruits in the
garden of the Qur’an.
