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:
