The Majestic Quran

4. The Quran is a useful manual not a textbook, it persuades, dissuades, pricks the conscience, flips from present to future and back to the past, reasons using evidence from nature, human experience, and history. Just follow its guidance. 5. The Quran demands the reader’s full attention: Applying one’s mind, being focused. This leads to reflection and asking pertinent questions; who is the Creator? What does He expect from me? Answer these questions. 6. The Quran persuades through reason. So, when reading, ask yourself: What’s the message for me? What does the Majestic Quran want me to believe, accept or do? What does it expect me to learn and understand about God? It’s teaching you the bigger picture, so you may understand the deceptive nature of worldly life.
