Significance of this Book:
The very first chapter of the Wise QurÍan makes reference to the world of humanity in the Arabic word ñcalaminî, that is, all human beings are microcosms or individual worlds, capable of developing and actualising the potential which is innate to all of us, irrespective of our race, gender or creed. Further, Prophet Muhammad, the final Prophet of God, taught that ñPeople are GodÍs Householdî, thus putting the seal on the essential teachings of the faith of Islam that all human beings are dear to God and He has provided His creatures with great potential to make physical, spiritual and intellectual progress. However, a prerequisite for this progress is that all human beings value, respect and enhance each other.
In the second volume of ñThe Wise QurÍan and the World of Humanityî, the author elaborates on the same theme of the potential of human beings and their importance to God and His creation. This book is important also for the notion of ïSpiritual ScienceÍ, which the author explains in the light of the QurÍanic promise that God would show His signs in the external world as well as the inner world of human beings. The author believes that the immense scientific progress of humankind is the fulfilment of GodÍs promise and also a strong indication that human beings are on the verge of a spiritual age where we can all experience the wonders and marvels of our personal worlds. However, such progress also requires us to struggle for a more just, equitable world, where we show mutual respect for our diversities and pluralities
