Reseña del libro "In Qur'aanic Light (en Inglés)"
Preface to First EditionBrought together in this book are articles written in the span of over 10 years. And, as the title of the book suggests, various topics are examined in the articles on the basis of divine Guidance given in the Qur'aan.2. When our first grand-parents, Adam & Eve, were being sent down to this earth, they were advised, ..".if there comes to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My guidance shall neither go astray, nor fall into distress and misery. But whosoever turns away from My Remembrance/Reminder, surely then is there for him a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection." [Q: 20.123, 20.124]3. Unfortunately, mankind has miserably failed to follow that divine advice and has consequently found itself embroiled in hardship and misery, time and again. Even the custodians of that divine message, the Muslims, are far from following the advice. And Allah's Wrath has fallen especially on them. That is why Muslims generally have become the favourite whipping boys of every Tom, Dick and Harry, all over the world today.4. The Qur'aan asks the Muslims to do one thing, and they do something else. It is this dichotomy that is highlighted in most of the articles in this book. In other articles, evidences of the divine origin of Qur'aan are brought out. The evidences lay in Verses that foretold scientific truths and events that were unknown at the time of the revelation of the Qur'aan. 5. I hope - and I pray Allah for fulfilment of the hope - that this book will induce at least some persons, Muslims and non-Muslims, to make the Qur'aan their default opening page on the monitors of their lives in order to make frequent references to it and get guidance wherefrom.
