QUR'AN FOR TODAY

The Openning


1.    The Opening


 


بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ


1.   In the name of the “Existence”, the ultimate source of Beneficence, and Generosity


 


الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ


2.     The "Existence", the ultimate nurturer of the myriad worlds, deserves to be deliberately appreciated.


 


اَلرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ


3.      The ultimate source of Beneficence, and Generosity


 


مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ


4.      The ultimate Sovereign of the period of history when mankind would lead their lives according to the nature of the Existence on their own free will.[1]








[1] The fundamental and basic quality of this period would be that no man would have any authority, power or supremacy over the other.


 


إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِين


5.      We purely "realize" You (the Existence)  and we purely rely on You, [at the most basic level of our life].[2] 








[2] A direct talk to the Existence is adopted here to show that the Existence is not just a set of rules of life but a conscious entity.


  


 


اِهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ المُسْتَقِيمَ


6.      Guide us to the straight course. 


 


صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنعَمْتَ عَلَيهِمْ غَيرِ المَغضُوبِ عَلَيهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ


7.      The course of those whom You have blessed with the best of life; not those who have incurred the rage of Existence, nor the misguided.

112. The Uniqueness


 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم


 


In the name of the "Existence”, the ultimate source of Beneficence, and Generosity


 


قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ


1.      “The Existence” is unique in essence [and free from contradictions].


 


اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ


2.       The Existence is self-contingent [sovereign and self-organized][1]


 


لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ 


3.      The relationship between “the Existence” and human being can not be reduced to or even exemplified with the relations like those of father and child [let alone master and slave]. And, nothing bears a resemblance to the Existence but herself.








[1] Therefore, the Existence does not need anybody’s worship, sacrifice or pray. These symbolic actions must be done and oriented towards the most benefit of people themselves.
