How is the Qur’an Relevant Today?
Q: How can an ancient text like the Qur’an supposedly be relevant in this modern day and age?
A: The answer to this question is brought today by science. God Almighty, Being Aware of the level of knowledge of people of the 21st century, and their need for information concerning their Lord and His Scripture, has Sent Signs of Himself through the most reliable method of our own time, that is, through science. He Proves His Existence today, and the preservation of every letter of His last Scripture, for the past 1400 years.
The mathematical coding that was discovered in 1974 by Dr. Rashad Khalifa — slain in Tucson Arizona in 1990 — connecting and preserving all the letters of the Qur’an, leaves no doubt, whatsoever, that all the words, the disposition of surahs, the digits and numbers used in the text, the number of surahs, the number of verses etc., are mathematically coded and divinely Designed. Any kind of violation into the Book would be exposed through such coding.
The Existence of a God Creator of all Beings, a superhuman Power, Controlling and Knowing Everything is materially proved for the first time in history of humanity on Earth. And as to the words of the Qur’an still being relevant with this modern age, the answer is Given by God Himself in (14:24-25)
14:24-25 “Don’t you see how the Creator Cites the example? A goodly Word is like a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches up to the sky,”- “Giving its aliment any time by the Will of its Lord, so the Creator Cites examples for the people, that they may be Reminded.”
The Lord’s Word has a firm and fixed root, and Its branches can develop infinitely by time, along with the growing Knowledge, producing its aliment at any time and era, due to His Will and Design. The Qur’an has been Designed for two eras (35:31-32), today, after 1400 years, It Is ready to give Its fruits and aliments again, developed by Time and science.
35:31 “That which We have Revealed to you of the Book (O Muhammad), is the just (of the Book, entirety of the Book) confirming what was (Revealed) before It, as in fact All’h, concerning His Servants, Is Knowledgeable, Insightful” (God Considers the level of insight and knowledge of His Servants.)
35:32 “Then (after you Muhammad), We Gave the Book as inheritance to those We have Chosen of our Servants (Messengers), so among them (the Messengers), was he who wronged himself, and among them, he who accomplished a middle course, and among them, he who anticipated the good events (of the Book) by All’h’s Leave. This is the Grand Bounty.”
And to see for oneself the truth of the above statement, concerning the growth of the Word with Time and science, one will find the whole actual findings of our science, confirmed in the verses of the Qur’an, through the FurQan of the Qur’an, thanks to our Almighty Lord.
