SOME SECRETS OF THE QUR'AN

That some people cannot see while others have a grasp of
some hidden messages in the Qur'an is another secret created
by God. Those who do not seek these secrets revealed in the

Qur'an, live in distress and difficulty. Ironically, they never
know the cause of their distress. Those who learn about these
secrets of the Qur'an, on the other hand, lead an easy, joyful
life.
That is because the Qur'an is clear, easy and
straightforward enough to be understood by anyone. In the
Qur'an, God states the following:
O Mankind! A clear proof has come to you from
your Lord. We have sent down a Clear Light to you.
As for those who believe in God and hold fast to

Him, He will admit them into mercy and favour
from Him and will guide them to Him on a straight
path. (Surat an-Nisa': 174-175)
However, many people, despite being capable of solving
the most complicated problems, understanding and putting
the most puzzling and ambiguous philosophies into practice,
fail to grasp the clarity and simplicity found in the Qur'an. As
this book explains, this itself is an important mystery. Not
being able to grasp the fleeting nature of life in this temporal
world, these people draw closer to inevitable death every
day. The secrets in the Qur'an are a grace for believers while
they bring down torment on disbelievers both in this world
and in the hereafter. God relates this fact in a verse as follows:

We sent down in the Qur'an that which is a healing
and a mercy to the believers, but it only increases the
wrongdoers in loss. (Surat al-Isra': 82)
