and) style”. (73-1 to 4).

• In the beginning for about one and half years it

remained like compulsory for Prophet

Muhammad (SAW), but continued for the whole

life. For the Companions of the Prophet it

assumed the status of Sunnah Mukadah:(III) Teaching of the Book

• in detail

• in sequence

• with continuity

• with meaning

• with objective

•

Its Commandments:- Dos, and

Don'ts

(IV) Teaching of HIKMAH through the model of life of

the Holy Prophet according to the ordainments of

Allah. Translation and explanation of the Book into

action is therefore called Hikmah i.e., Seerat and

Sunnah. Sunnah is the Wise and Virtuous Way of

life. Allah has promised success on this Way. Itcomprises:-

• Qaul (Word)

• Deed

• Silence

(I) to (IV) above leading to HIKMAH are explained

in Surah 62 and 73 (Surah Al-Mudassir and Al-

Muzammil):-• “He it is Who sent among the unlettered ones a

Messenger (Muhammad SAW) from among

themselves, reciting to them His Verses,

purifying them (from the filth of disbelief and

polytheism) and teaching them the Book (this

Quraa’n, Islamic laws and Islamic jurisprudence)

and Al-hikmah (As-Sunnah: legal ways, orders,

acts of worship, etc. of Prophet Muhammad

(SAW). And verily, they had been before in

manifest error;” (62-2).

• “An insight and a Reminder for every slave

turning to Allah”. (50-8).

Al-Quraa'n is mercy and healing also:-

• “And We send down from the Quraa’n that

which is a healing and a mercy to those whobelieve”. (17-82).

• “O Mankind! There has come to you a good

advice from your Lord (i.e. the Quraa’n, ordering

all that is good and forbidding all that is evil),

and a healing for that (disease of ignorance,

doubt, hypocrisy, differences, etc.) in your

breasts, a guidance and a mercy (explaininglawful and unlawful things, etc.) for the

believers”. (10-57).

The Challenge of Quraa’n :

• “And if you are in doubt concerning that which

We (Allah) have sent down (the Quraa’n) to Our

dutiful-salve (Muhammad), then produce a surah

(Chapter) of the like thereof and call your witn-

esses, besides Allah, if you are truthful”. (2-23).• “But if you do it not, and you can never do it”.

(2-24).

• Do they not then think deeply in the Quraa’n, or

are their hearts locked up (from understanding

it)? (47-24).

west whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself), though

no fire touched it. Light upon Light! Allah guides to His

Light whom he wills. And Allah sets forth parables for

mankind, and Allah is All-Knower of everything”. (24-35).

Other challenges which still exist before man are the

unification of facts about life and death (Dead? “matter” andliving “Self”). Some scientists believe that the molecular

clock is a sort of chemical code imprinted on the DNA,

which is read in sequence from the moment of conception

till death. But who regulates it?! “For every news there is a

reality and you will come to know” (6-67).

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: “All of the

Prophets were given such miracles as inspired people to

believe. And the miracle that I have been given is theQuran” - (Bukhari).

“ Nay! This is a Glorious Quran. In a Tablet

Preserved” (8521 to 22). “ And Verily, it is in the Mother of

the Book with Us, (Allah) indeed Exalted, Full of Wisdom”

(43-4).
