Book Of Life

By understanding and obeying the Quran' in our setting, we will find it, as far as possible, as much contemporary event for ourselves as it was then.

For the essence of man has not changed; it is immutable,

Only man externalities- the forms, the modes, the technologies- have changed.

The pagans of Mecca may be no more, nor the Jewish or Yathrib, nor the Christians of Najran, nor even the "faithful" and the "unfaithful" of the community at Medina;

But the same characters exists all around us.

We are human beings exactly as the first recipients were, even though many find it extremely difficult to grapple with the deep implications of this very simple TRUTH.

Once you realize these truths and follow them,

Once you come to the Quran as the first believers did,

it may reveal to you as it did to them,

make partners of you as it did of them.

And only then,

instead of being a mere revered book,

a sacred fossil, or a source of magic-like blessing,

it will change into a mighty force,

impinging, stirring, moving and

GUiding us to deeper and higher achievements, just as it did before..
