                  According to the Quran, a person’s life has been divided into  two
                        phases: the pre-death period and the post-death period.
                  The present life is only temporary and is meant as a test. Depending
                upon our performance in this test, we shall be judged in the eternal life
                after death. The Quran aims to make one aware of this reality and help                          Quranic
                one lead one’s life in this world in such a way that one is rewarded with
                                  Paradise in the life Hereafter.                         Quranic Wisdom



                “‘Quran’ is an Arabic word. Its literal meaning is ‘to be read’. This means that
                the Quran is a book of study.”                                                                 Wisdom
                “Learning is basic to all our hopes and aspirations: the greater the learning, the
                greater the progress in life.”
                “All men and women are equal in the eyes of God. If there is any difference,
                it is only between the Creator and His creatures.”

                “If you read the Quran, you will find that almost all its verses convey the same                MAULANA WAHIDUDDIN KHAN
                positive message, either directly or indirectly.”
                “A good man is one who is like a good tree. A tree begins from a seed, then
                it turns into a plant, then a strong trunk, then branches and leaves, and then
                flowers and fruits.”

                “Saying Bismillah is, thus, an acknowledgement of the higher authority—that
                without God’s blessings you could not achieve anything in this world.”
                “God is not the God of some community or group, He is the God of all
                mankind.”                                                                  MAULANA WAHIDUDDIN KHAN
