Main Principles ,Concepts and Messages of The Reading(Quran)
The main message of the Reading(Quran) is the Monotheism or Oneness of The God. The Reading teach us that there is only one (real) god and that only He deserves to be treated as god. That is, only to Him(to Him only) belong all the divine atributes and to Him only belongs worshipping-to Him only all the human beings and all the creatures should offer their unquestionable service, obedience and devotion. That is all the purpose of the creatures` existence and life. In doing like that, the creature finds and fullfils the purpose of it`s life. On the other side, blind obedience, service, following and devotion to and for any other than Him, whatever or whoever it may be, or following any ideology other than He has ordered/decreed, represent the setting up of partners to The God(ar.-shirk)-the biggest and unforgivable/unpardonable sin(of course only in case if someone dies in that sin). Also, placing anything or anyone in the same range with The God, or making/holding them equally important with The God or attributing to them the share of The God`s attributes, authorities and jurisdictions, represents the same unpardonable blasphemy.
The God has created the man and has given him of His presents and blessings in abundance. And He has subjugated everything in the heavens and the Earth to him- that it may be at service to man. In order to be gratefull on these bounties(and this is of primary importance according to the God`s book) man should respect The God, and be submissive to Him and His will. Besides, He is the All-Knowing, He is the Creator of Human being and accordingly He is The Best-knower of what`s the best for men. So, in His mercy, from time to time, The God reveals His Will to mankind, through his messenger, in form of a book, with detail instructions for a sucessful, grateful and correct/honest life. Following of it`s instructions and arranging/organising his life in accordance with it, will result with a beautiful life and succes in this world and particularly in the hereafter-in the next, eternal, life. This life will begin at the Judgement day when all, after they have died, will be raised up again and will be asked about their deeds.
On the other hand, by refusing to follow the book, and by following any other ideology other than that which The God has made, decreed and revealed in His book represents setting up of the partners to The God and will result in bad destiny in this, as well as in the next life.
Also, associating(shirk) and following of any other book, authority, religion or worldview, side by side, with the direction decreed in the book of God represent a wrong path, fallacy, and disobedience to The God which will also result with/in bad consequences for the man in both lifes.
Usage of The Reason and Importance of knowledge. It`s hard to move across few pages of The Reading(Quran) without passing across places where the knowledge, the usage of reason, pondering, reflecting, meditating, thinking and similar are mentioned and raised to high positions. These are the cornerstones of the divine ideology/doctrine. Reason is a great and boundless God`s gift and man should not disdain to use it , on contrary, it should be trained, perfected and developed. With the quantity of this gift the man is distinguished from other earthly creatures. And in a great measure the reason is something that causes/makes the man (to be) the man. This is one of the great messages of The Reading(Quran) which, so to say, "fall into the eyes"(is an eyesore) even during a superficial study. According to the book, neglecting of the usage of the reason the mind and reason leads the man into blasphemy, disbelief and ungratefulness to The God, while it`s usage leads the mankind from the darkeness to the light.
Thinking with one`s own head/mind. Blind following of others(particularly following of ancestors, teachers and "authorities"), as well as, unreasonable and unsubstantiated belief that others are more "knowlegeable", "capable", and "competent" for understanding of the faith/religion and/or The God`s book is harshly condemned and criticised all over the book and exposed as a practice of disbelievers. While the believers are described as the self-confident people thinking with their own head, which does not follow others blindly but are separating the truth from the falshehood by putting their trust to The God and by using the best of their reasoning and knowledge revealed by The God.
Abandoning and rejecting of all the traditions, customs and practices which are in contradiction with the Book of The God.
Good deeds. Good deeds are mentioned and comanded more than hundred times throughout The Book of The God. They represent one of the main and inseparable characteristic of the believers. According to The Reading(Quran) one can not be believer if he is neglected the good deeds. They are a kind of special litmus paper for/of one`s belief. All the religious mottoes, slogans and the calls to The God, if are not accompanied with the good deeds, represent only hypocrisy, which will result in the status which is lower than that of pure disbelievers. Those whose words are not followed by the proper actions are warned many many times in the Reading(Quran).
Justice, impartiality and objectivenes. Through his doctrine The God call us to Justice, Impartiality and Objectivenes even in the cases when we, our family and the dearest are concerned and might "sufffer a loss".
Enjoining of the good and enjoining from doing the bad and evil deeds
The authority of The God`s book. Considering of The God`s book as the sole authority and source of The God`s judgement and decision, that is, as a sole representative of The God in disputes among the mankind.
