According to the Maulana, the
Qur'an , a book of divine warning, stresses the importance of man’s discovery of truth at the level of realization. Its objective is to explain God’s Creation plan, i.e. why God created this world; the purpose of settling man on earth, what is required from man in his pre-death life span, and how his life’s record will determine what the post-death period will bring -- reward or punishment. TheQur'an thus serves to guide man on his entire journey through life into the after-life. The main themes of theQur'an , clearly set forth in the present translation and commentary of theQur'an , are enlightenment, peace and closeness to God. To enable the reader to discover God at a purely intellectual level, theQur'an emphasizes tawassum, tadabbur, and tafakkur -- reflection, thinking and contemplation on the signs of God throughout the worldee also
