The Holy Quran

The duality of the apparentand the hidden in the Quran

Linguists have been discussing the issue of words with multiple layers of meaning. They have come up with two theories.

Justice to disbelievers from a Quranic perspective

Amongst the Quranic verses on justice is a verse that talks about how to deal with peaceful disbelievers, for disbelievers are of two kinds: those who are in a state of war with Muslims, displacing them and offending them with various aggressive means, and those who are peaceful but differ with the Muslims on the religious/conviction level, for they simply do not believe in Islam, yet they coexist with Muslims just as various groups coexist together in a pluralistic society.

The Quran calls on the weak and oppressed to gain strength

The Quran thus reinforces people�s inner strength using several methods that mainly involve ridding man of the feeling of weakness that leads him to deviate from the path of God.

The �blessings� in the Quranic conception

In the Holy verses, the term �blessed� occurs [several times] to describe the Quran. Much controversy arose on the nature of such blessing; is it concrete and subjected to the rule of cause and effect in the sense of leading to prosperity and materialistic and practical benefit, as came in the interpretation of the following Ayah: �And He hath made me blessed,� (19:31); i.e. a benefit to the people, or is it moralistic and spiritual in a way that it opens up to man�s spiritual aspect through the abundant graces and blessings of kindness and mercy Allah bestows upon man, as mentioned in the Ayah which entails the conversation between Ibrahim and the angels: �the grace of Allah and His blessings on you�?!

The Quran: A Divine Message to mankind

Allah says in His Glorious Book: �Here is a Message for mankind;� a Message Allah has revealed to His Prophet to draw a line between the right and falsehood, and between good and evil: �Let them take warning therefrom,� so as to think responsibly, realistically and objectively, for the Quran entails a methodology for thinking and a method for dialogue and disallows turning any disagreement into a personal complex; but rather, it regards it as a basis for intellectual �give and take� that is founded on strong evidence and clear proofs�

Experience in the Quran inspired from Cain and Abel�s story

Allah says in His Glorious Book: �Then Allah sent a crow digging up the earth� hollowing the earth out as if searching for something, �so that he might show him how he should cover his brother�s dead body,� (05: 31), signifying the ugly state of his brother after his death, who would become a fetid corpse or food to predators, which he would hate for him. Apparently, this Ayah clarifies that Cain (Qabil) was na�ve and inexperienced as he had no on-the-ground experience
