OUR OBJECTIVES
This (Kur`an) is a sufficient notice for the people and those possessed of understanding may mind and may be warned , and may know that Allah is One God.(Ibrahim 52)
We are grateful to Allah to whom we owe everything that belongs to us. He is our Lord and our Creator, whose commandations include every minute piece and the only to deserve our compliance. He is the Owner and the Protector of the Qu’ran that has been secluded of any uncertainty and any suspicion.
Allah, there is no god but He; the Everliving, the Self-subsisting by Whom all subsist; Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him; Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the 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 pleases. His throne includes the heavens and the earth, and the preservation of them both is not difficult for Him. He is the Sublime, the Great. (Bakara 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 goods He offers.
But there are some 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.(Bakara 200,201,202)
In order to obtain the final target desired by everyone doubtlessly is possible by reading, trying to understand, and seriously taking in consideration the Book Allah (c.c.) sent.
(Some from) Those to whom We have given the Book read it as it should be read. Because those believe in it. and those who reject in it, those are the real losers. .(Bakara 121
And whoever turns himself away from the remembrance of the (Rahman) Beneficent Allah, We appoint for him a Shaitan (evil) that becomes his associate.Surely these evils turn them away from the Path, but they think that they are rightly guided (Zuhruf 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 loose the capability to tell between the 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. (Bakara 78)
Nevertheless, the Qur’an has been clarified to the humans to:
…warn who is alive, and (that) the charge may be fulfilled against the unbelievers (Yasin 70)
As Süleymaniye Foundation our primary target is to understand Allah’s mesagge and to expand it.
It is essential to comprehend the life we are living in the light of the Qur’an. This is what the companions of the Prophet did, as well. Only due to this method the positive impact of the Qur’an on the individual and society as whole will be present and evident.
Its pages and cover have been sanctified while a real border has been built between the advising and leading aspects of the Qu’ran and the individual, what is obvoius to be a real loss and wickedness in the name of humanity.
Even though the considerable majority of people is from the believers, they have been lost in the maze of exaggeration and have been lost in paths diverse from those taught to people by the Qu’ran and the Messenger. Considering that even Hz. Muhammed (p.b.u.h.) had been warned not to become from the hipocrits, it is odd that people believe similarly to the hypocrits without taking in considerance this particular issue.
And let them not turn you aside from the communications of Allah’s verses after they have been revealed to you. Invite (men) to your Lord. Never be of the polytheists. (Kasas 87)
No doubt that it will be endeavored aiming to learn the truth also by analyzing these situations and superstitions in the light of the Qu’ran.
Shall We then take away the reminder (Kur’an) from you because you are a people who trangress beyond bounds? (Zuhruf 5)
The Qur’an beside being a guidance to succeed in this world and in the hereafter for the believers, at the same time includes principles and instructions that would regulate the social in general. The objective and logical studies undertaken by the respetive scientific fields concerning these instructions of the Qu’ran on the life in this world would bear immensely important assumption for the humankind. We want to underline that these studies undertaken by our foundation in order to uphold to the commands of our Creator, have been added to the endeavors of a lot others all over the world holdind the principle of a plea is open to every support that embraces the standards of being of scientific character.
And every one has a direction to which he should turn. So compete to (do) good works. Allah will bring you all together wherever you are. Surely Allah has power over all things. (Bakara 148)
And of those whom We created there is a people who guide to the Truth and establish justice therewith. (A’raf 181)
