The Quran contains principles and rules that concern and elevate gradually everybody, from primitive people to scholars and philosophers, from tradesmen to ascetic people, from the rich to the poor.The Quran states the existence, oneness, attributes, power and magnitude of Allah, the vastness of His mercy and pardon, the necessity of reliance on and trust in Allah, worshipping Him, and thanking Him for His bounties.It tells about worshipping like prayers, fasting, zakah (alms) and hajj (pilgrimage). It teaches people the principles of belief in Allah and worshipping Him. When it mentions belief and believers, it adds the condition of doing good and beneficial deeds; it teaches us that belief becomes perfect with deeds.The Quran teaches people all of the vital rules of the real system that contains all phases of the social and civilized life, from the family life and the mutual rights and duties of husband and wife to international relations, from greeting to entering houses by getting permission.The Quran states that human beings were a family created out of a man and a woman, that they were divided into tribes and families so that they would know each other, that the most honorable ones among human beings are those who fear Allah the most, that is, those who pay attention the most to the rights and duties imposed by Allah and that nobody had any privilege no matter what nation, tribe, class or career they belong to, whether they are male or female, rich or poor. The Quran orders people to keep their vows, to act honestly in trade, to help the poor, to mediate between cross people, to act justly, to give jobs and tasks to those who are qualified and to work; it also advises people not believe every piece of news they hear without searching whether it is true or not. The Quran teaches people to act in accordance with vital necessities, to consider this even when one is doing a favor and to do everything duly and on time.It advises people to forgive but it does not allow the order in the society to be broken. The Quran regards it necessary to prevent transgression through punishmentThe Quran advises us to be kind and generous to people but not to be so generous as to become poor and needy; it also warns people not to violate others’ rights while enjoying personal freedom and rights. The Quran forbids all kinds of evil deeds like jealousy, mischief, oppression, grudge, betrayal, slander, telling lies, deceiving, thinking of bad things about others, backbiting, talebearing, conceitedness, hypocrisy, theft, murder, extravagance and stinginess, and bad habits like drinking alcohol and gambling.The Quran advises people to keep their eyes and hearts open, not to act blindly, to contemplate, to study the earth, the skies and those between them, to have knowledge, to study the states of the previous nations and countries and to draw lessons from them. The Quran informs us that a hard aay of reckoning on which everybody will be questioned and all of our deeds, whether big or small, good or bad will be revealed.The Quran mentions every issue that concerns man from the cradle to the grave; it also mentions or implies some scientific realities to be discovered in the future.For instance, it stated fourteen centuries ago that the sun, the moon and other celestial bodies swim along their orbits, that every living being was created out of water (al-Anbiya, 21/30-33) that the sun runs its course (Yasin, 36/38), that the law of balance was imposed on the sky (ar-Rahman, 55/7), that the sky was in the form of smoke at first (Fussilat, 41/11), that all of descendants of human beings were present in Hazrat Adam in the form of particles (genes) )al-Araf, 7/173), that fruits were brought about through fecundating winds (al-Hijr, 15/22), that some extraordinary fine work carried out by animals especially by bees was revealed to them by Allah (an-Nahl 68-69), that animals walking on the ground and flying in the sky formed communities like human beings (al-Anam, 6/38), that there are living beings in the sky and that they will be gathered together one day (ash-Shura, 42/29), that the knowledge of man will not suffice to understand the spirit (al-Isra, 17/85), that the sky is continuously expanded (adh-Dhariyat, 51/47), that the things that are regarded as non-living and mute glorify Allah but that man cannot understand it (al-Isra, 17/44) and it pointed to many other things, opening new horizons of study and research for the world of science. The Quran has been read and studied not only by Muslims but also by many non-Muslim, conscientious scientists and academicians; they have appreciated the Quran and showed respect to it. We will give some examples of them:The Quran Can Guide Everybody

Stanley Lane Poole, a British expert on Arabic, states the following in the preface of his book, “Selection from the Quran”:
“The verses that the Prophet introduced in Madinah are especially interesting because they are the verses that guide the Muslims that govern the Islamic community. The verses revealed in Makkah contain everything that is necessary for a great and effective religion.”
The Quran Contains all of the Principles of Ethics and Philosophy

Sedillot, one of the most famous orientalists of France, states the following in pages 59, 63, 64 of his book called “General History of Arabs”:
“The Quran is a respectable book. It informed people about the rights of Allah and taught them what creatures should expect from the Creator and the relationships between the creatures and the Creator.
The Quran Contains all of the Principles of Ethics and Philosophy.
Virtue and disgrace, good and bad, the real nature of things, in short, every issue is mentioned in the Quran.
The rules that are the basics of wisdom and philosophy, the principles that teach justice, equality, doing favors to others and being virtuous are all present in the Quran.
The Quran leads man to economy and justice; it protects man from deviation.
It takes man out of the darkness of his weaknesses and elevates him to the light of ethical highness.
Those who call Islam a barbarous religion are people who are deprived of consciousness because they close their eyes to the clear and lucid verses of the Quran and they do not study how the Quran eliminated the disgraceful acts that lasted for centuries."
The Quran Contains the Foundations that the World Civilization is Based on

Gaston Carre, one of the most famous orientalists of France, wrote,
“The Quran contains the foundations that the world civilization is based on. We can say that this civilization came into existence out of the conformation of the principles introduced by Islam.”
The Quran is a Book of Ethics Full of Wisdom

Alexis Louvasonne, a French philosopher, said,
“The Quran revealed to Hazrat Muhammad for the guidance of the humanity is a bright book full of wisdom.
There is no doubt that Hazrat Muhammad is a real prophet sent by the Creator, who controls the destiny of the world.
Hazrat Muhammad left such a book that it is a rare example of rhetoric and a holy book of ethics.
That is, there is no problem among the problems that are settled by the help of scientific discoveries or science and knowledge that contradicts the principles of Islam!
Unlike our efforts that we exert in order to harmonize our Christianity with natural laws, there is full harmony between the Quran and its instructions and natural laws.”
The Quran is the Best Heavenly Book; it is a Miracle of Rhetoric and Fluency

Dr. Morrice, a famous orientalist, an expert on Arabic literature and a translator of the Quran, said,
“What is the Quran?”
It is a miracle of rhetoric and fluency.
The virtue of the Quran that makes three hundred and fifty million Muslims feel proud is the fact that it is the best heavenly book in terms of expressing every meaning.
No. We can move further! The Quran is the best book that is granted to man by the eternal help of the nature.
The statements of the Quran are superior to the statements of the Greek philosophy from the point of view of the welfare of man.
The Quran is full of praising and thanking the Creator of the world and the sky.
Every word of the Quran is embedded in the majesty of the Supreme Being, who created everything and who leads and guides everything based on their talents.
The Quran is a book of literature for the people of literature.
The Quran is a treasure of words for linguists.
The Quran is a resource of harmony for poets.
This book is also an encyclopedia of legal decrees.
None of the books sent from the time of David to the period of John Talmos could compete with the verses of the Quran successfully.
Therefore, the more the high classes of Muslims are enlightened to comprehend the realities of life the more they become interested in the Quran and the more they show respect to the Quran.
The respect of Muslims toward the Quran continually increases.
Muslim authors decorate their writings by quoting the verses of the Quran and they are inspired by those verses.
The more Muslims increase their education and manners, the more they base their ideas on the Quran.”
The Creed and Ethics of the Quran is a Perfect Combination of the Principles that Bring about Guidance to People and Success in Life

Dr Steingass, who is the author of English Arabic and Arabic-English dictionaries, wrote:
“The creed and ethics of the Quran is a perfect combination of the principles that bring about guidance to people and success in life.
A work, then, which calls forth so powerful and seemingly incompatible emotions even in the distant reader - distant as to time, and still more so as mental development - a work which not only conquers the repugnance which he may begin its perusal, but changes this adverse feeling into astonishment and admiration, such a work must be a wonderful production; indeed and a problem of the highest interest to every thoughtful observer of the destinies of mankind.”
The Quran has no Equivalent

Edward Gibbon, one of the most famous and greatest historians of England writes the following in his work entitled “The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire”.
“From the Atlantic to the Ganges, the Quran is acknowledged as the fundamental code of civil and criminal jurisprudence.
There is no difference between a mighty king and a poor person in the eye of the Quran. There exists such a jurisprudence based on those principles that it has no equivalence in the world.”
The Quran Teaches the Purest and Cleanest Oneness

Dr. Gustave Le Bon says,
“Islam is distinguished from the other religions in the world in that the Quran teaches the purest and cleanest oneness.”
The Quran Teaches the High Ethics

Mr Arnold says:
“The lessons we learn from the Old Testament and the New Testament through Jews order us to treat creatures with respect and love.
However, apart from giving people a perfect education, the Quran teaches people to be ethical, generous, philanthropic, brave and courageous and to love all Muslims.”
The Real Book of Belief; the Book that Satisfies the Mind

Hindu Guru Baba Nanak said,
“The real book of belief and the book that satisfies the mind is only the Quran.”
The Quran Contains Reasonable and Sensible Orders that provide a Clean and Chaste Life

The following is stated in the Popular Encyclopedia:
“According to Arabic, the Quran is extremely fluent. In fact, the literal beauty of the Quran is unique. Besides, the orders of the Quran are so reasonable and logical that if people study them carefully they will understand that those orders will provide a clean and chaste life.”[28]
We continue with the words of Steinhorst, the atomic scientist, who declared in the newspaper Yeni Sabah that he became a Muslim as a result of his long studies and reviews on religions and changed his name to Nureddin:“Honoring Allah became a kind of awful idol worshipping in Christianity.
They seem to worship one God but they worship Jesus as the son of God though he is only a prophet.
They declared Jesus’ mother as God’s mother.
According to the last principle that was imposed, Mary ascended with her body through the attribute of God’s mother; this last principle, which the Pope imposed, astonished even believing Catholics!
According to the Christian creed, Allah made a child. However, according to Islam, only ephemeral beings make children. Since Allah is superior to all beings and is eternal, He does not need a child.
Allah is the source of all created beings and the organizer of everything. Therefore, He does not need a child that will help His work or that will continue His name. Thus, the idea of trinity (three gods) put forward by Christianity and the Church is meaningless.
Then, how can the Christian Church claim that Christianity is the only religion that gives happiness? With what ethics does this church attempt to become a world religion? They have no right to do so.
If this world was created by one god, it is necessary for the religious customs the nations to unite in the same belief. If the world does not gather around a spiritual center, how can they realize the oneness of the Creator?
A river consists of many streams and its strength originates from uniting.
The revelations brought by Moses, Jesus and other prophets are the streams of the river that will realize the purpose of creation. This purpose is to understand the oneness of Allah. Only the Quran can realize this purpose.
Can a book other than the Quran fulfill it?
The Old Testament cannot fulfill it because it mentions the God of Israel.
The Zoroaster grants the divine light to the nation of Iran only.
Vedas cannot fulfill it because according to risis, it is necessary to flow lead into the ears of Hindus who listen Vedas.
Buddha is not universal; it is related to India only.
Can the religion of Jesus realize this purpose?
No.
Jesus is not a teacher that embraces the whole world. He said the following to his disciples:
‘Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.’ (Matthew: 10: 5,6)
Then, no one brought any news that embraced the whole mankind before the Prophet of Islam
No book addressed the whole mankind before the Quran.
Hazrat Muhammad brought the following revelation:
‘O men! I am sent unto you all, as the Messenger of Allah!’ (al-Araf, 7/158)
Thus, only the Quran can eliminate the differences and the dissents among various religions.
The multitude of religions necessitates the existence of a uniting belief.
This belief is Islam.” [29]
