Q. What does the Qur’an say about the reason for the creation
of humankind?
A. The Qur’an answers:
(Allah says) “I have not created jinn and humankind, except for
My worship.”
Chapter 51. v. 56.
Q. What is the daily prayer of a Muslim?
A. The opening chapter of the Qur’an, surah Fatihah:
“ In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful,
Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of all the Worlds,
Most Gracious, Most Merciful;
Master of the Day of Judgment;
Thee alone do we worship, and Thine aid we seek;
Show us the straight way;
The way of those on whom Thou has bestowed Thy Grace
Those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.”
Chapter 1. Vv. 1-7.
•
Commentators of the Qur’an have commented as follows:
•
“Those whose portion is wrath” are the Jews who have
deliberately distorted the message and are cursed by
ALLAH for this.
•
Those who have gone astray, are the Christians, as they
have made Jesus into god, son of god, and believe in a
triune god etc. Every prophet of GOD taught the worship
of ONE GOD only but the Church corrupted this
fundamental teaching.
Question: How would you describe the life of this world?
Qur’an answers:
Chapter 57. v. 20.
