Quran the supreme locus of the divine presence and Allah give the ultimate doctrine to neutralizing all human understandings of life as per their own choice. It’s a monolithic command of the creator our Allah. That is LAILAHA ILLALLAHU MUHAMADUR RASULLULLAH. No master but Allah. Me or Bertrand Russell or Socrates. Bill of rights ,UNO charter nothing its Allah who is our Master to follow.
But Allah also in order to conceptualize the Quran gives some indications about the Quranic writing in human language. Allah says:
“And it was not (vouchsafed) to any mortal that Allah should speak to him unless (it be) by revelation or from behind a veil, or (that) He sendeth a messenger to reveal what He will by His leave. Lo! He is Exalted, Wise”(42:51).
“And thus have We inspired in thee (Muhammad) a Spirit of Our command. Thou knewest not what the Scripture was, nor what the Faith. But We have made it a light whereby We guide whom We will of Our bondmen. And lo! thou verily dost guide unto a right path”(42:52)
These verses are very important for us to follow in order to the message given by a Allah clearly says that He wont come to us and will talk with us in our language rather He sent Prophet with his inspiration. Clearly indicates expression of Allah’s will cannot be told that is why Allah said again:
“He it is Who hath revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture wherein are clear revelations--They are the substance of the Book--and others (which are) allegorical. But those in whose hearts is doubt pursue, forsooth, that which is allegorical seeking (to cause) dissension by seeking to explain it. None knoweth its explanation save Allah. And those who are of sound instruction say: We believe therein; the whole is from our Lord; but only men of understanding really heed.”(3:7)
By these allegories Allah wanted to tell that its not possible for mankind to understand all about Allah’s will by their empirical limited scaled knowledge which is so little so that Allah helped by giving some instances.
That is why contextual understanding of the Quran is the only matter we have to go through.
The Quarn repeatedly asks person to look at nature and into him and reflect again and again on the mystery of creation and holds out, to the sincere seeker.
Quranic reflection should be taken into consideration the motive more than its literal meanings in many cases. There are many literal descriptions of Quran and are describes in Arabic and many occurrences during prophets life time. Allah’s desire is not to be Arabic bound or those events bounds that is to describe the events that occurred during prophets life time rather Allah picked up the Prophets like time as a n example or analogy to speak the and give messages of the will of Allah from the events that is the inherent meaning of those descriptions are needed. If Prophet was sent to some another country or the occurrences would be different than the expression must be different too. But the on genetic message would be the same.
So the urgent for us to learn Quran to understand what the messages Allah is trying to deliver rather than too much literal adherence.
For example if anyone go to preach Islam and quote alone these verses the consequence would be horrible.
“As for the disbelievers, whether thou warn them or thou warn them not it is all one for them; they believe not”.(2:6)
“ Allah hath sealed their hearing and their hearts, and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom”(2:7)
Then will be there any chance left to preach Islam to the non believers?
So the main purpose for us to learn Quran to understand what’s the message Allah is giving rather than be literal adherence.
Yes there are answers but in order to know those we have to learn the back ground of the revelations of those verses and the meaning were whom to meant. My point it just by reading Quran is nice for us to learn more and for our self purification but if any one us wants to be more curious and learn more we have to learn Arabic as well the must be aware of the Arabic cultures that were prevailed during the prophet in the Arab.
