Mufti Muhammad Isma'il 3







Regarding the verse :

ذلك الكتاب لا ريب فيه
“That’s the Book, in which there is no doubt.”



Now, it does not say: "That's the Book, which nobody WILL doubt ...", rather it says: "That's the Book, in which there IS no doubt...". Obviously, some people did doubt the Qur'an, but those doubts were created in their minds, and they were not in the Book.


Regarding the part :




هدى للمتقين
"A guide for the Godfearing."



This Book is a guide for those who SEEK righteousness. Thousands of people are walking on this planet, but the Qur'an does not guide them, because they do not seek it's guidance.


The verses continue , explaining the characteristics of these people :




الذين يؤمنون بالغيب
"Those who believe in the unseen."



We have not seen Paradise, Hell, Angels, Punishment of the Grave and the Life of Barzakh - but we believe in them. Why? Because a trustworthy person has informed us regarding them.


I will give an example :


When people have the sugar disease , meaning diabetes - the doctor tells them: Don't eat rice. Logically, some cannot comprehend this, thinking: But rice is not sweet! It contains no sugar. Why can't I eat it? But they go along with what the doctor says, because they trust him. And then the doctor gives them a medicine, which is sweet in itself, so some people get even more confused, thinking: If sugar is bad for me, why does he give me medicine which contains sugar? Still, they trust the doctor, because he is a trustworthy individual.


Similarly, we believe in what our Prophet told us ...
