Introduce yourself
with positivity & hope
Various translators & likes of scientists had irrelevant
intentions for approaching Quran. They either reported it
as compilation of stories, or resorted to their futile counter
arguments. This is a consequence of poor intention or
missed pre-requisites. Quran is a Devine Book until it is not
approached with the right intention, Allah may not lead
you through it. The intention to read Quran must be clear
& precise in your mind.
“We as any other Muslim wish to correct ourselves;
ameliorate from our problems that we face today;
learn about the purpose of living, get real satisfying
rewards and attain unchallenged security and
acceptance of Allah.”
Following are the beginner level self explanatory pre –
requisites for getting guidance from Quran stated at the
very beginning. The potential reader must:
• Believe in Unseen
• Offer Prayer
• Spend their wealth
• Believe in the Books of Allah
• Believe in the Day of Judgment
Intention for reading & listening

8. GuidanceofQuran
A Brief Exploration
Many people have pointed out that verses in Quran are in
vague and/or in contradiction. Refute this now:
1. Quran proclaims itself, “Quran is simple in guidance
presented in elaborations” & “A verse in it is
abrogated or caused to be forgotten only to be
replaced by similar one or a better one” (1:--)
2. The book is basically divided into a) precise orders &
b) metaphorical references for ideas and actions to
warn, to invigorate & to point to other concepts
beyond human reason & thought (2:2,3)
3. Keep in mind, Quran provides for the “process of
change” expected from a non- Muslim or non-
practicing Muslim given certain habits, often passed
across generations, & basic human shortcomings.
Having said all this, if you believe that Islam in Quran is the
answer & like most people you are looking for short cuts &
ease in comprehension. Consider FAST TRACK APPROACH
on the left.
You will be pleaded to know, this is absolutely alright and
even more profound approach suited to the purpose
addressed here. Most importantly, you will not even
realize how & when you began to sort all your problems
for better times.

they will abide therein eternally. (2:39)
whoever earns evil and his sin has encompassed him - those are the companions of
the Fire; they will abide therein eternally (2:81)
they who believe and do righteous deeds - those are the companions of Paradise; they
will abide therein eternally.(2:82)
And for the disbelievers is a humiliating punishment.(2:90)
for the disbelievers is a painful punishment. (2:104)
whoever submits his face in Islam to Allah while being a doer of good will have his
reward with his Lord. And no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.
(2:112)
