OUR OBJECTIVES
This (Qur`an) is sufficient notice for the people and those possessed of understanding may mind therein and may be warned, and may know that Allah is One God.(Ibrahim 14/52)
We are grateful to Allah whom we owe everything. He is our Lord and our Creator, whose commendation brings piece at all times and deserves our compliance. He is the Owner and the Protector of Qu’ran that has no uncertainty or doubt.
Allah, there is no god but He; the Everliving, the Self-subsisting by Whom all subsist; Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him; Whatsoever in the heavens and whatsoever on earth is His; Who is he that can intercede with Him but by His permission? He knows that which is behind them and what is before and after them (nothing is hidden to Him). The people cannot comprehend anything out of His knowledge except what He wills. His throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and the preservation of them both is not difficult for Him. He is the Sublime, the Great. (Baqara 2/255)
For us: discovering ‘the near life’ we live in and ‘the hereafter life’ that will start with the rebirth and procuring Our Creator’s consent in both, we shuold aim the obtaining of the endless paradise and the good He offers.
“But there are people who say: Our Lord! give us in the world, and they shall have no portion in Hereafter. And there are some of them who say: Our Lord! Grant us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and save us from the pangs of hell.
They shall have (their) portion of what they have earned. Certainly Allah is swift in account.(Baqara 2/200,201,202)”
Reaching the final target desired by everyone doubtlessly is possible by reading, trying to understand, and heeding the Book Allah (c.c.) revealed.
(Some from) Those to whom We have given the Book read it as it should be read because they believe therein. And those who reject therein, are the real losers. (Baqara 2/121
And whoever withdrawns himself from remembrance of the (Rahman) Beneficent Allah, We appoint for him a Shaitan (evil) that becomes his companion. Surely these evils turn them away from the Path, but they think that they are rightly guided (Zukhruf 45/36,37)
After having believed, not endeavoring to understand the message of Allah (c.c.) and not inquiring the source of this message is certainly an irrational conduct. This behavior makes the individual lose the capability to tell between good and bad…
And there are among them illiterates who know not the Scripture. All they know is hearsay. They do nothing but conjecture and apprehension. (Baqara 2/78)
Nevertheless, the Qur’an has been clarified to the human beings to:
…warn who is alive, and (that) the charge may be fulfilled against the unbelievers (Ya Seen 36/70)
As Süleymaniye Foundation our primary target is to understand Allah’s message and to spread it.
It is essential to comprehend our lives in the light of Qur’an. This is what the companions of the Prophet did, as well. Only by means of this method, the positive impact of the Qur’an on individuals and the society, as a whole, will be present and evident.
Unfortunately, the pages and the cover of Qur’an have been sanctified, as a real wall is built between people and Its advising, leading aspects. This is an obvoius loss and wickedness in the name of humanity.
Even though the majority of people is from believers, they have been lost in the maze of exaggeration and in paths diverse from teachings of Qu’ran and the Messenger. Knowing that, even Hz. Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) had been warned not to become from the hypocrits, it is odd that people believe similarly to hypocrits without taking this particular issue into consideration.
Let no one turn you away from Allah’s revelations after they have been revealed to you. Invite (men) to your Lord. Never be of the polytheists. (Qasas 28/87)
No doubt it will be arduous, aiming to learn the truth in the mean time analyzing mentioned states and superstitions in the light of the Qu’ran.
Shall We then take away the reminder (Qur’an) from you because you are of people who transgress the bounds? (Zukhruf 45/5)
The Qur’an includes principles and instructions that would regulate the social life, besides being a guidance to succeed in this world and in the hereafter for the believers. If objective and logical studies are undertaken by respective science branches on the messages in Qu’ran, immensely important resources will be reached for the mankind. We would like to emphasize that such studies are undertaken by our foundation in order to uphold to the commands of our Creator. Our studies embrace the endeavors of a lot more others around the world, who hold on to the principle of following scientific standards at work.
And every one has a direction to which he should turn. So compete to (do) good deeds. Wheresoever you are Allah will bring you all together. Surely Allah has power over all things. (Baqara 2/148)
And of those whom We have created are people who guide to the truth and establish justice therewith. (A’raf 7/181)
