In the Name of Allah,
The All-Merciful and Most Merciful
tion. (Surat al-Baqara, 185)
The Qur’an’s moral teaching correspond to the innate
nature of human beings, all of whom He created and are ob-
jects of His endless mercy and compassion. Everyone who
does not realize this fact lives in a state of material and,
more importantly, spiritual anxiety.
If the truth were to follow their whims and desires, the
heavens and Earth, as well as everyone in them, would
have been brought to ruin. No indeed! We have given
them their Reminder, but they have turned away from
it. (Surat al-Muminun, 71)
But only those who fear and respect Allah and His
power, who sincerely submit to Him and prefer the
Hereafter to this world, take advice and counsel from the
Qur’an:
We did not send down the Qur’an to you to make you
miserable, but only as a reminder for those who have
fear [and respect for Him]. (Surah Ta Ha, 2-3)
This is an important secret of the Qur’an. People do not
need to have great intelligence or skill to understand the
Qur’an; it is enough that they are sincere and well-inten-
tioned. The All-Merciful’s mercy will allow all people to un-
derstand everything. Allah reveals the straight path to His
sincere servants and allows them to attain salvation by
practicing the Qur’an’s moral teachings.
The Qur’an has been sent to all humanity, but it guides
to the straight path only for those who fear and respect
Allah and who believe in the Hereafter. As mentioned ear-
lier, it is a proof of His compassion for His sincere servants:
