Die Brosch\u00fcre<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Qur\u2019an is in no way just a \u201ccode of law\u201d. In fact, only a small part of the rich and multilayered text entails precise rules. Instead, topics like creation, the Hereafter, and moral conduct are paramount.<\/p>\n<p>The most important aspect of the divine message is Tawheed, i. e. the belief in the oneness and unity of God, the sole creator and sustainer of life who has no equal.<\/p>\n<p>Man as a rational being is required to constantly question his behavior towards his fellow creatures and to adjust according to God\u2019s commandments. His actions in this world will certainly have consequences in the Hereafter. The belief in life after death is a key component of Qur\u2019anic teachings, a clear thread running through every chapter (Surah). <\/p>\n<p>To Muslims, the Qur\u2019an is a lifelong companion, a guide, and a sign of Allah\u2019s mercy on all mankind. It is a comfort, an encouragement, and answer to existential questions, an inspiration to overthink one\u2019s actions. Reading the Qur\u2019an is like a personal \u201cconversation\u201d with God. Neither Muslims nor Non-Muslims should be discouraged if some parts seem incomprehensible. There is something in store for every reader if he or she is willing to impartially open to the text.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Muslims believe that the Qur\u2019an is God\u2019s word, His last and final message to mankind.
