The gist of the Quran

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan | The Sunday Guardian | Jan 28, 2018

It befits a person to commence any task in the name of God, the Creator. God is the source of all mercy and compassion. His blessings are -continually descending upon creation. To commence any undertaking in His name is to pray that God, in His infinite mercy, should come to one’s assistance and bring one’s work to a successful conclusion. This is a person’s acknowledgement of God as Sustainer, and also brings divine assurance of success. 

Who finds the truth?

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan | The Sunday Guardian | Jan 21, 2018

The Quran is a book of guidance. But it only guides those who are sincere in their search, and anxious to be guided. The search for truth is inherent in one’s nature; one only has to discover one’s own true nature in order to find the truth. True search and true finding are but initial and advanced stages of the same journey. One who searches for truth unravels the mystery of his inner self. God helps him in his search; the subconscious yearnings of his nature begin to receive a definite response.
