The Qur'an

NOTE: THIS E-BOOK VERSION EXCLUDES ARABIC SCRIPT

"There are numerous challenges and quests in human life. The most powerful drive, however, is to understand and connect with that which is timeless and boundless. Our keen interest in the beginning of creation and its end is part of this quest. The Qur'an is the voice of truth which involves what is considered to be rational and shareable consciousness. The majesty of the Qur'an is that it addresses most of the human situation and day to day realities whilst connecting it with the Absolute and Boundless. At a normal, conditioned, human consciousness, the Qur'an can help to reduce suffering and discord, but a point is reached where spiritual insights go beyond the mind and into the realm of the soul where discernment and differentiations melt away into a zone where energy and matter are not distinguishable. For this reason, most classical scholars of Qur'an refer to this higher level as the Divine Domain and refrain from commenting or discussing it."
