the Qur'an. In many verses of the Qur'an, Allah invites man
to think and to ponder on the Divine wisdom in His creation,
and on the transience of the life of this world, and the
permanence of the life of the hereafter. Apart from these, in
the Qur'an we can also find passages of the lives of the

prophets; their sincerity in faith, their commitment to our
Almighty Lord's cause, and their determination in spreading
the Divine message. Finally, a number of verses in the Qur'an
also provide us with insight into how we should conduct
ourselves in our everyday lives.
In this book, based on information Allah provided us by
the way of Qur'an, and by the knowledge our Prophet (may
Allah bless him and grant him peace) told us , we will discuss
Allah, His attributes, the real purpose of our existence in this
world, what we need to do to comply with it, the reality of
death and that which awaits us, the Afterlife.
We highly recommend that you read this book carefully,
and reflect upon its lessons, because they are intended to
draw you nearer to our Creator, Almighty Allah, and show

you the way to infinite bliss and salvation.

the Qur'an:
