The Two Basic Concepts

                                              Sharia and Jihad



                                         God describes the Qur'an as follows in
                                    one verse:

                                         ... This [the Qur'an] is not a narration
                                         which has been invented but confirmation
                                         of all that came before, a clarification of
                                         everything, and a guidance and a mercy
                                         for people who have faith. (Qur'an, 12:111)

                                         As God explicitly states in this verse, the
                                    Qur'an is "a clarification of everything,"
                                    although it is never enough for the peddlers
                                    of superstition. They do not regard the path
                                    revealed by the Qur'an as suited to their own
                                    false religious conceptions. For that reason,

                                    throughout the course of history they have
                                    maintained that some of the commandments
                                    of the Qur'an are "not sufficient" (surely the
