The Qur’an – A Hidden Book?
For a long time, the Qur’an had been something of a hidden book. It was written in Arabic and most Muslims do not read and understand Arabic. In fact many Muslim men who are Hafiz, which means they have memorized the Qur’an in Arabic, do not understand what it says! On many occasions, I have talked with those who knew the Qur’an from memory, but they had no idea what it said, because they did not understand Arabic.

The Before Scriptures
The Qur’an speaks of some Books that it calls the “Scriptures that were before”. It also tells us the name of these books. They are the Tawrat, the Zaboor, and the Injiil.
The Tawrat (English; “Torah”) means “The Law”. This Book contains the story of the creation, and the story of how Allah worked in the world from Adam to Ibrahim; then from Ibrahim to Musa (to whom Allah gave His Law), and from Musa the coming of Isa Masih. The Zaboor are the Psalms of Dawood. These Psalms were actually songs about the greatness of Allah. They teach us many wonderful things about Allah and His ways. They were sung by what the Qur’an calls the “People of the Scripture”, who were the people of Israel. The Injiil, (English; Gospel) is the Book about the life, teaching and commands of Isa Masih.

Remember that for 1100 years after Allah sent the Law to the people of Israel, the message of the prophets was the same. They called the people to follow the Law of Allah; but when they sinned, they were to bring the Qurbani with a sincere heart and genuine sorrow over their sin. Then for a period of 400 years no prophet came to Israel. But, they were still, as the Qur’an calls them, “the people of the Book (Scriptures)”. They had the Tawrat and Zaboor to remind them of the ways of Allah.

The Most Important Question in the World
There are many very important questions in life. Who will I marry? Where will I live? What will my career be? How much education will I get? These are all very important questions, but they are not the most important question.
What is the most important question in the world?
The most important question is this – What will happen to me when I die? The way I answer these other questions may affect me for the rest of my life, but how I answer this question will affect me forever!
