Page 2 - Learning from the Qur'an
P. 2
he Qur’an is not a book that consists solely of lawful and unlawful
deeds; it covers a wide range of subjects, including descriptions
Tpertaining to moral perfection, various characteristics of human
beings, all situations and circumstances that are likely to occur in this
life, information related to the life of this world and the hereafter, fear of
God, love for Him, the ways to attain the good pleasure of God, etc. In
brief, the Qur’an is a book that consists of all the information that man
may need throughout his life. It is the Book the Creator has sent to the
created and it will remain as the sole guide for humanity until the Day of
Judgement.
A believer who becomes aware of the importance and indispensability
of the Qur’an to his life must have a good knowledge of the Qur’an so
that he can conduct his entire life in line with the principles of the Qur’an
and thus serve God as is due. This book is prepared to strengthen the
knowledge of the Qur’an for those who wish to get to know Allah, who
are willing to meticulously perform their duties as servants of Allah,
reorient their lives in line with the values of the Qur’an and make
attaining the good pleasure, mercy and Paradise of Allah their main
objective.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The author, who writes under the pen-name Harun Yahya, was born in
Ankara in 1956. He studied arts at Istanbul's Mimar Sinan University,
and philosophy at Istanbul University. Since
the 1980s, the author has published many
books on political, faith-related and scientific
issues. His main focus has been the refutation
of Darwinism and materialism, two modern
myths presented under a scientific guise.
Harun Yahya's books appeal to all kinds of
readers, Muslims and non-Muslims alike,
regardless of their age, race, or nationality, for
they focus on one objective: to broaden the
readers’ perspective by encouraging them to
think about a number of critical issues, such
as the existence of God and His unity, and to display the decrepit
foundations and perverted works of godless systems.
