(17:9).

(17:9)." In another verse, the Almighty Allah introduces the reason for this power and rightfulness of Islam to be the conformity of Islam with man's creation, for it is self-evident that a policy and cause meeting the natural demands and true needs of man will make him happy and prosperous in the best possible manner.

"Then set your face upright for religion in the right state the nature made by Allah in which He has made men; there is no altering of Allah's creation; that is the right religion...(30:30)." Again, the Almighty Allah states: "...(This is) a Book which We have revealed to you that you may bring forth men from utter darkness into light... (14:1)." The Holy Qur'an invites the people to follow the path of light which leads them to their ideal goals.

It will inevitably be a path which properly responds to man's natural demands that are his very actual requirements. It will also conform with the views of commonsense. This path is the very natural religion called "Islam".

But a policy, which is established on the basis of carnal desires .and the satisfaction of human instincts, namely, lust and wrath of the influential men of the society, which is blindly adopted from the ancestors, and which undeveloped nations adopt from powerful and strong nations unquestionably and without conformity to logic and commonsense, is nothing but plunging into darkness. In fact, it is like travelling in a path which by no means guarantees man the achievement of his goal.

The Almighty Allah states: "Is he who was dead then We raised him to life and made for him a light by which he walks among the people, like him whose likeness is that of one in utter darkness whence he cannot come forth?..(6:122)." Finally, from all this, one can discover the importance and magnificence of this Holy Book from the viewpoint of Islam and Muslims.

Besides, since its revelation fourteen centuries ago until the present time, the Holy Qur'an has always held an elevated position in various respects in different human societies. It has always drawn the attention of the people of the world. Indeed, the Holy Qur'an is a Divine Book which supports the universal and everlasting religion of Islam. The generalities of the sublime teachings of Islam have been described in the Qur'an in an eloquent manner.

In this regard, its worth equals the value of the religion of Allah. Furthermore, the Holy Qur'an is nothing but the words of Allah and is the everlasting miracle of the Holy Prophet (SA).
