Whatever the
Creator of this universe wished to say to the man on earth was
finally revealed in the holy Qur'an. Whatever laws were
needed to be given for the enrichment and growth of human
personality were communicated in their most perfect form
through the last Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (a.s.).
In order that man attains his designated status in this
universe, he needs no other torch now to illuminate his path,
nor does he require any more guides.
Qur'an, we believe, is a challenge to
intellectual confusions, solution to all problems, and
basis of a stable, homogeneous and peaceful social order. It
has no contradictory ideas, leading to sectarianism or
disunity. It is self-explanatory and its teachings are easy to
understand provided it is approached without any mental
reservations or pre-conceived ideas [54:79].
The Qur'an is a unique book for all times
and at all levels. The objective of the Qur'an and its
method of explanation is that of educating the minds and
changing human attitude towards life. Its aim is to bring
about a revolution inside the man himself, for after all, the
external material civilization is the expression of the
internal spiritual condition of man himself. We are confident
that if Qur'an is understood with reason and knowledge, and
the principles laid down by the Qur'an itself, it promises
definite results.
We acknowledge with full sincerity the
scientific and cultural achievements of past generations but
to say that they alone could understand the Qur'an and that
the present and future generations must only blindly follow
them is indeed a negative attitude as it reduces the Qur'an to
historical and local level, while it claims to be universal
and eternal.
The purpose of this site is to judge the
Qur'an on its merit, and to understand it as it is, and not
according to our own wishes or in context of man-made
laws.
We do not belong to any sect and shall
not permit sectarianism to creep in. We will not indulge in
futile discussions and waste time and energy on frivolous
matters. As far as possible we will try to restrict ourselves
to practical issues of our own age.
