THE QURAN: A BOOK OF INCANTATIONS?
THE QURAN IS NOT A BOOK OF SPELLS
The Quran is:
A guide that leads man to truth (Huda)
A light that sheds light on our path (Nur)
A criterion that separates good from evil (Furkan)
A sign for those undecided (Ilm)
A miracle for the entire humanity (Ayat)
A remedy for those sick at heart (Shifa)
Good news for believers in distress (Bushra)
A reminder and counsel for men (Zikr)
A law that discloses everything explicitly (Mufassal)
A source of wisdom for the thinking (Hikmat)
A book that explains everything (Týbyan)
An evidence proving the righteous (Bayyina)
A gift for believers (Rahmet)
A warning for those who opt for advancement (Zikra)
A plain book for the intelligent (Kitab ul Mumin)
A universal law for justice seekers (Hukum)
An immortal messenger for the perpetuator of the prophethood (Rasul)
A link for those that have fallen apart (Hablullah)
A leader to last till eternity (Imam)
A warning for the living (Kuran-ý Mubin)
To cover up all these characteristics of the Book, multitudes of people have unfortunately been led astray by those who entertained evil intentions, who have misused it for ages, employing it as a talisman and panacea.
Those that have gone astray, although they claim to be devotees of Islam, present a sore picture on the background of the above sura.
God demands we abide by the prescriptions of the Quran, banning all other sources. And yet, innumerable so-called saints have been revered throughout ages. The ignorant and illiterate people have been exploited by religion-mongers. Their victims have become playthings in the hands of these miracle-mongers. The ingenuous persons spend their fortune in the hope to find a remedy for their ills and aspirations in total disregard of the Quran which is kept more often than not wrapped in solid jackets and hung on the wall as a talisman, without ever being opened.
