On the other hand the words and verses of QURA"N, which are composed of these letters are so elegant, and deep in meaning that they easily pierce in the souls, and penetrate in the depths of the hearts of men! They easily attract the attention and reverence of a Layman, as well as that of a man of wisdom and thought.

QURA"N is just like the book of nature which is composed of very simple elements, in which God has brought forth so many wonderful and incredible creatures, such as the beautiful birds, various colours and divers smell and scent. God brings out all these varieties from the same soil of which we can make pots and jars! THE GOLDEN AGE OF ARABIC LITERATURE The PAGAN ERA OF ARABS, was the golden age of their literature!

Those BARE-FOOTED people, were deprived of all the social and economical advantages, but their hearts were filled with the love of literature, eloquency and oratory. They had a large periodic market, named AKAZ which besides its usual affairs, had turned to a literature center. It served also as an economical and judicial annual CONGRESS.

[ 31 ] In that high council the best and the newest, verses and proses, were rehearsed, for consideration and judgement; and the best ones were chosen to be proclaimed as the poem or prose of the year. In such that golden age of literature, the whole world is challenged to produce a book like QURA"N, but it has not been produced - even by a chapter like unto it, although many have tried hard and have done their best to do so, and have failed!

Say: ``If man and JINNS were to gather together in order to bring the like of this QURA"N; they will not bring the like of it, even if they back up each other with their help and support.'' QURA"N - S 17:88 2- THIS IS THE BOOK, NO DOUBT IN IT, A GUIDANCE TO THOSE WHO AVOID EVIL. The phrase: `No DOUBT IN IT' is not merely a claim, but rather a real truth.

We may consider some of the qualifications of the Book in a quick scan; such as; its truthfulness - Grandeur - Firmness - Eloquency - Deep meanings - sweet and simple explanations, which is seen throughout the BOOK which repels and rejects all doubts; so that, nothing can excel it.

It is worthy of note that, age, and elapse of centuries has not been able to reduce or decrease such qualities and qualifications, and even the progress of science and knowledge has enhanced the BRIGHTNESS and LIGHT of the BOOK! Such BOOK, NO DOUBT, IS A GUIDANCE OF THE VIRTUOUS PEOPLE. WHAT IS MEANT BY GUIDANCE?
