"Verily this Qur'an doth guide to that which is most right (or stable) (to run
societies), and giveth the glad tidings to the Believers who work deeds of
righteousness that they shall have a magnificent reward" (Sura Bani Isra'il.
No 17.verse 9).
"We have sent down to thee the book explaining all things, a Guide, a Mercy,
and Glad tidings to Muslims, (Sura Nahl, No,16,verse 89).
"When those come to thee who believe in Our Signs, say: `Peace be on you:
Your Lord hath. inscribed for Himself (the rule of) Mercy; verily, if any of you did
evil in ignorance, and thereafter repented, and amended (his conduct),
Lo! He is oft-forgiving, Most Merciful" ,(sura An'am. No. 6. verse 54).
The Light of Islam is illuminating individuals hearts in
nearly all parts of the world, inspite of heavy barriers and careful controls and religious interrogation exerted by not only many

Islamic Revolution of Iran.
The effective influence of the light of the truth together with the
speed in the movement of the Age has brought forth a more vital exchange of thought and religious ideology in connection with the Holy
Qur'an. In regard to this, we refer to what the Messenger of Allah (p.b.u.h.) has said about it:"...When afflictions surround you like the dark
night refer to the Qur'an , because, it is an Intercessor whose intercession is
accepted. It reports the evils (of people) which will be confirmed. It leads the
person to Heaven who puts it in front of himself (follows it); and he who puts is
behind himself (neglects it) will he driven to Hell. This very Qur'an is the best
guide to the best ways. It is a Book in which there are useful explanations,
Statements and gaining (of goals). It is the Separator (of right and wrong)...",
(Usul -i-Kafi, vol. 2, p. 599.).
Obviously, those people whose language is not Arabic can refer to
the Holy Book in English, because this is an international language and it is possible far all nations with any native language, to read and
understand it in English. As far as we know, there are more than 50
