First Word

Allāh created Mankind to test each and every one of us: how we behave towards one another and all living creatures and how we use our resources and influence in this world.
Our next, eternal, life will be decided according to our behaviour in this world: whether we will deserve Paradise or Hell.
To guide us, Allāh sent His Messengers from the earliest times. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was Allāh’s last Messenger and the Qur’ān is Allāh’s last Message to Mankind. It has been meticulously preserved.
It is the duty of Muslims of all ages and societies to carefully read this divine Message, apply it in their lives and make it available to all communities in the world in their respective languages.
The Qur’ān is a direct message of our Creator to each and every one of us on earth. Each one of us must try to understand this personal message of Allāh.
