ANSWERS FROM THE QUR'AN
Qur'an, for every unbelieving society contains people of intelli-
gence and conscience who have remained ignorant because they
have not yet received Allah's message of morals. For this reason,
believers communicate the values of the Qur'an to these people
with compassion and courtesy. This is also a recommendation of
Allah's Messenger (pbuh) who said, "The best of you is he who has
learnt the Qur'an and then taught it." (Bukhari)
When such unbelievers encounter Muslims for the first time,
they are likely to have many questions, because devoted believ-
ers, who possess the morality of the Qur'an, are unlike all other
people they have ever known. Being used to living among self-
ish, conceited, remorseless, and arrogant people, they may well
feel amazed when meeting conscientious, self-sacrificing, mod-
est, reliable, self-possessed, and tolerant people.
Nevertheless, believers are sincere and honest people, for
they follow Allah's guidance, which is the unique true guidance.
How could it not be, since it was determined by humanity's
Creator? All of the doubts and questions belonging to those who
have only recently been introduced to the Qur'an's morality
stem from the ignorant beliefs and concepts upon which they
were raised.
This book seeks to clarify the probable questions likely to
occur to people who are new to the Qur'an's morality.
