Introduction to the Quran

Introduction to the Qur’ ā n 24 i. In chapters 6, 5, 4 and 3, besides the theme of delivering warnings, the theme of spiritual purification of the believers and their segregation from the disbelievers is also added. ii. Chapter 1 has been placed the foremost because the recipients of the Qur’ ā n are its addressees the foremost. iii. Except for chapter 1, the Makkan s ū rahs of each chapter discuss delivering of warnings and glad tidings and of communicating the truth to the addressees in a conclusive manner, while the Mad ī nan s ū rahs discuss the spiritual purific ation and segregation of the believers. It can thus be c onclud ed that the description of the miniature day of judg em ent that happened in Arabia as a consequence of Mu ḥ ammad ’s conclusive communication of the truth has been eternally preserved in the Qur’ ā n in this subtle sequence. Conclusion In the foregoing paragraphs, the genre of the Qur’ ā n, its theme and arrangement are described to introduce this divine Book to the common reader to these features. It is in the form of divine dialogues that are preserved in a meaningful format with a specific theme. It has been revealed by the Lord of the heavens and the earth purely for the guidance of earthlings.
