INTRODUCTION








                 Are you aware of the beauties presented to you by the Qur'an?
               Are you acquainted with the facts related in the Book that Allah
               sent to you as a book of guidance?
                 The Qur'an tells us the purpose of humanity's existence on
               earth and how to live so that each person's life is compatible
               with that purpose. It explains our obligations to Allah and how
               we will be rewarded according to our actions. The Qur'an, the
               Just Book Allah sent to His devotees as a mercy, calls us to
               beauty, righteousness, purity, and eternal happiness. These
               qualities of the Qur'an are stated in many verses:
                 There is instruction in their stories for people of intelligence.
                 This is not a narration that has been invented, but a confirma-
                 tion of all that came before, a clarification of everything, a guid-
                 ance and a mercy for people who believe. (Surah Yusuf: 111)
                 That is the Book, without any doubt. It contains guidance for
                 those who guard against evil. (Surat al-Baqara: 2)
                 The Qur'an is a Book that addresses all ages, one that contains
               all the basic subjects a person may need throughout his or her
               life. The forms of worship, the state of mind unique to a
               Muslim, the ideal morality, the good conduct that must be
               shown in the face of unexpected happenings or at difficult
               times, the ways to lead a physically and spiritually healthy life,
               the moment of death, the events that a soul will go through on
