                       he Qur’an guides people to faith and separates truth from false-
                       hood It is a gift from Allah, clear and intelligible, a reminder and
              T T an admonishment.
                 The above verse makes clear that the the Qur’an contains many exam-
              ples and explanations on a variety of subjects to meet the needs of all peo-
              ple while they exist in this world. From morals to everyday matters, from
              interpersonal relations to commerce, from the signs of creation in the heav-
              ens and the Earth to the signs about the future, they are all to be found in
              the Qur’an. For example, those wishing to live the religious morality are
              told: "… We have not omitted anything from the Book…" (Surat al-
              An`am, 38). This quality is revealed in the following verses:
                 "Am I to desire someone other than Allah as a judge, when it is He
                 Who has sent down the Book to you clarifying everything?" Those
                 to whom We have given the Book know that it has been sent down
                 from your Lord with truth, so on no account be among the
                 doubters. The words of your Lord are perfect in truthfulness and
                 justice. No one can change His words. He is the All-Hearing, the
                 All-Knowing. (Surat al-An`am, 114-115)
                 … We have sent down the Book to you, making all things clear,
                 and as guidance and mercy and good news for the Muslims.
                 (Surat an-Nahl, 89)
