Islam In Brief

    Comprehensive Legislation Besides

    the finesse of its rhetoric, the Qur’an constitutes themost comprehensive concept of Islam on the practical level, theshari’ah, or the laws and legislation. The Qur’an is comprehensivebecause it includes law, moral principles and the creed which everyMuslim subscribes. The Islamic shari’ah is suitable not only for theMuslims, but for all mankind at all times. The Islamic law governs allhuman acts, public or private-duties towards Allah and duties towardsman.Man-made laws are subject to alteration and are based on theories;whenever a new body of legislators assumes authority in a non-Muslimcountry or a new theory appears and appeals to its government, the lawsare changed accordingly. The Divine laws, on the other hand, areunalterable and perpetual because the One Who made them is Everlivingand Everlasting God. He is the Creator Who created mankind and ordainedfor them what suits them till the end of time. For this reason, theQur’an, being the last revealed to the last of Prophets and Messengers.abrogates all previous Scriptures.Many prophesies in the Qur’an are fulfilled to the letter. Allahpromised those who believe and did good deeds that He will surely makethem successors on earth. The early Muslims ruled a vast landencompassing many countries in the world. The Qur’an foretold thevictoryof the Romans over the Persians~. Allah says: «The Romanshave been defeated, in the land nearby, and they after their defeat,will be victorious».A person who reads the Qur’an objectively shall realize that theprophesies in it are far removed from conjuncture or speculations. Thisis due to the fact that Who revealed them is the One who predecreed allevents until the Day of Judgment. 2. The reference to this prophesy isfound in surah #30 entitled ‘Arrum’ or the Romans. This refers to thebattle which took place between the Persian and the Roman in 614 A.D.when the Roman werc defeated. Eight years after that. the Romandefeated the Persians, and the prophesy to the Qur’an was fulfilled tothe letter.
