Pak›stan - Rena›ssance

arun Yahya’s "Pondering on the Qur’an" appeared in the
H September, 2000, issue of this English-language magazine
published in Pakistan. Below is an extract from that article:
"Therefore, what is needed in the first place is to correct the wrong
point of view about the Qur'an and make people understand that the
Qur'an is not a book which is addressed only to the Prophet (sws) but
to all people who consider themselves Muslims. Any person who ut-
ters this statement: "I'm a Muslim, alhamdulillah" must read the
Qur'an and try to understand the meaning of the verses. In the Qur'an,
the importance of learning verses and reciting them are especially em-
phasized.
...Some people believe that the Qur'an addresses only Muslims of the
7th century and some others think that only a small part of the verses
addresses people other than the Muslims of the 7th century. A person
having such an approach gets satisfied with reading the Qur'an and
thinks he fulfils his religious duties by doing so. However, this is not
only a matter of learning what is inside of the Qur'an, but also put-
ting them into practice, fulfilling the duties ordered in the Qur'an,
adapting moral standards explained in the Qur'an; briefly, bringing
the Qur'an into one's own everyday life."
