QUR’AN: THE VOICE OF GOD
Recently I have been studying Marxism in
considerable detail, and have formed the
impression that Marx was a man of extraordinary
intellect and spirit; few men of such talent can have
appeared in the annals of history. Yet, when he
gave his mind to the improvement of the human
condition, the remedies he offered were
unparalleled in their foolishness. Why should this
have been so? The principal reason is that he had
made no study of the Qur’an. He had not gone to
that great source of knowledge, without which no
sound and definite opinion can be arrived at on the
vicissitudes of human existence. It must be
conceded that the universe is a mystery and that the
only book which can unveil that mystery for us is
the Qur’an. No mere mortal can solve the mysteries
of life and the universe without the revelations of
the Book of God.
