Another point that has to be inferred from the Qur'anic text during its
analytical study, is to determine the identity of those who are addressed
by it. There are certain expressions like "guidance for the God fearing,"
"guidance and good tiding for the believers," "to admonish and caution
him who is alive," which often recur in the Qur'an. Here the question may
arise: Of what need is guidance for those who are already guided, the pious
and the righteous? Moreover, we see that the Qur'an describes itself in
these words:It is but a reminder unto all beings, and you shall surely
know its tiding, after a while. (38:87-88)Then, is this book meant for all the people of the world, or is it for
the believers alone? In another verse addressing the Prophet, God the Most
Exalted, says:We have not sent thee, save as a mercy unto all beings.
(21:107)A more detailed explanation of this matter would be undertaken during the
course of later discussion regarding the historical aspect of the Qur'an.
Here it is just sufficient to mention that the Qur'an is addressed to all
the people of the world. It does not single out any particular nation or
group. Everyone who accepts the invitation of the Qur'an is assured of
spiritual salvation. However, the verses which mention the Qur'an as the
book of guidance for the believers and the God-fearing (mu'minun and muttaqun),
clearly specify the kind of people who will be attracted towards it and
others who will turn away from it. The Qur'an never names any particular
nation or tribe as being its devotees. It does not take sides with a specially
chosen people. Unlike other religions, the Qur'an never associates itself
with the interests of any specific class. It does not say, for example,
that it has come to safeguard the interests of the workers or the peasants.
The Qur'an repeatedly emphasizes the point that its purpose is to establish
justice. Speaking about the prophets, it says:And We sent down with them the Book and the Balance so that
men might uphold justice ... (57:25)The Qur'an advocates justice for all mankind, not merely for this or that
class, tribe or nation. It does not, for example, like Nazism and other
such cults, stir up the passions of prejudice to attract people. Similarly,
it does not, like certain schools of thought like Marxism, base its appeal
upon the human weakness of interest-seeking and enslave-ment to material
motivations to incite people; because the Qur'an believes in the essential
primariness of the rational consciousness of man and his intrinsic conscience.
It believes that it is on the basis of its moral potentialities and its
truth-conscious human nature that mankind is placed firmly on the path
of progress and evolution. This is the reason why its message is not limited
to the working or farming class or exclusively to the oppressed and deprived.
The Qur'an addresses both the oppressors as well as the oppressed, and
calls them to follow the right path. Prophet Moses (A) delivers the message
of God to both Bani Israel and Pharaoh, and asks them to believe in the
Lord and to move in His path. Prophet Muhammad (S) extends his invitation
both to the chieftains of Quraysh and to ordinary persons like Abu Dharr
and 'Ammar. The Qur'an cites numerous examples of an individual's revolt
against his own self and his voluntary return from the path of deviation
to the straight one. But, at the same time, the Qur'an is aware of the
point that the restoration and repentance of those immersed in a life of
luxury and opulence is comparatively more difficult than that of those
familiar with the hardships of life: the oppressed and the deprived, who
are, as a matter of fact, naturally more inclined towards justice; whereas
the rich and wealthy, at the very first step, have to forgo their personal
and class interests and abandon their wishes and aspirations.The Qur'an declares that its followers are those who have a clear and
pure conscience. They are drawn to it solely by the love of justice and
truth, which is ingrained in the nature of all human beings ---not under
the urge for material interests and worldly desires and allurements.Important note to learn and read quran online
