A Treasury of The Qur’an
INTRODUCTION
~ 7 ~
To believe in God and implement His
commandments is to qualify oneself for His
succour. God bestows multiple blessings on a
person who lives a life of faith and righteousness.
He enables him to experience the joy of closeness to
God in his worship; to settle day-to-day problems in
a divinely-inspired manner; to deal with friends
and foes in an equally honest-to-God way, God
guides him on the straight path. He in turn always
seeks God’s pleasure and nothing can turn him
away from this aim.
The Qur’an has given a clear exposition of the
theoretical and practical nature of the good life. The
verses which have been selected for this book
describe various fundamental aspects of this life in
the Qur’an’s inimitable style. These passages thus
provide both a description of the good life and an
authentic example of how it should be lived.
