| The study and knowledge of the
Qur'an is essential not only for Scholars and Philosophers, but for everyone:
an ordinary person, a student, a worker, a trader, a learned person as well as
for all faithful believers.
The study of the Qur'an is essential for every
committed Muslim, since it is the main source and foundation of the religious
thought and faith. Whatsoever gives meaning, essence and sanctity to his existence
lies in the Holy Qur'an.
The Qur'an is not just like other religious books
which are content to discuss the problems of existence of Allah (Glorified and
Exalted is He) and creation in cryptic tones, or like those which merely convey
a series of simple moral advice and counsels, so that those who believe in them
are hopelessly left to search for guidance in other sources.
It is a book
where all essential ingredients of life can be found. Unlike other books, the
Qur'an discusses and formulates all the ideas and views that are essential for
a man's life, besides communicating the tenets of faith. Since the Qur'an is book
of life, it also lays down all the principles of life including that of moral
and ethical values for the purpose of individual, social and familial existence.
Unfortunately, the study of Qur'an has been left for Scholars and learned people
only.
