QURAN AND THE SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL NEEDS OF HUMAN

27- QURAN AND THE SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL NEEDS OF HUMAN

WE BELIEVE that whatever is needed in SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL dimensions of man is fundamentally found in the holy QURAN. All the governmental and political tenets, all the social principles, the bases of symbiosis, the fundamentals of war and peace, the elements of judgements and economics, and whatever is needed, can be traced in the BOOK and taken out for use, so as to alight the space of human life:__

"And We have sent down to you the BOOK, explaining all things, It is a GUIDE, a Mercy, and Glad tidings to Muslims."

THE HOLY QURAN _ S16: 89

This is why WE BELIEVE that Islam is not APART of politics and diplomacy. This belief makes the Muslims to rule over themselves, so as to revive the precious Islamic values in their societies, leading towards justice and equity. A Muslim Must be just and fair to his enemy as he does justice to friends:_

"O, Believers! Stand up firmly to hold JUSTICE, and be as a witness to ALLAH, even against yourselves or your parents or your kins, and whether it be against rich or poor for God is preferable to all that.

Follow not your lusts, lest you swerve. If you fail to do justice, verily Allah is aware of all that you do."

THE HOLY QURAN _ S4: 135

"O, BELIEVERS! Stand up firmly for the sake of Allah, and bear true witness, and let not the hatred for other men, turn you away from doing justice. Deal justly. Justice is nearer to PIETY. Have fear of Allah. He is aware of all that you do.

THE HOLY QURAN _ S5: 8

28- RECITATION, CONTEMPLATION, AND ACTION

WE BELIEVE that the recitation of QURAN is the best of worship, because it inspires the reciter to think and to contemplate, by which actions may result. QURAN addressing the prophet says:_

"Keep vigil all the night (i.e. stand in prayer) except for a few hour,half the night, more or less; and with measured and." rhythmic tone recite the QURAN." THE HOLY QURAN _ S73: 2_4

And addressing all the Muslims, QURAN has:_
"Read you the QURAN as much as you can."
THE HOLY QURAN _ S73: 24

"Do they not contemplate the QURAN, (so as to catch its meanings) or their hearts are locked up?"
THE HOLY QURAN _ S47: 24

"And We have indeed made the QURóAóN, easy to understand and remember. Then is there anyone who may receive admonition?"
THE HOLY QURAN _ S54: 17

"And QURAN is a book which We have revealed as a blessing: So follow it, and be righteous, so that you receive God's Mercy."
THE HOLY QURAN _ S6: 158

Therefore those who read QURAN, without any contemplation, and action, lose a lot for ignoring two main, important elements (thought and act) and grasping only one. (reading)
