Islam and its source, the Qur’an which our Lord, Allah, the One and
Only Lord of the universe, chose for humanity in order to restore the
truths previously revealed to prophets and messengers among all peo-
ples on Earth but forgotten and corrupted to some extent almost
everywhere. As Allah has told us, the Qur’an and the Sunnah are the
only things capable of rescuing humanity from darkness and bringing
us into the light; the Qur’an is the only book capable of being human-
ity's means of liberation. Allah explains this truth in the following
words in the Qur’an, which are addressed to whoever follows one of
the religions which existed before Islam:
People of the Book! Our Messenger has come to you, making clear
to you much of the Book that you have kept concealed, and pass-
ing over a lot. A Light has come to you from Allah and a Clear
Book. By it, Allah guides those who follow what pleases Him to
the ways of Peace. He will bring them from the darkness to the
light by His permission, and guide them to a straight path. (Surat
al-Maida: 15-16)
