Syed Rafey Husain

Startup Note: Dear brothers and sisters, this series of articles present Quran for rational minds. In the current era, engineering, medicine, finance & management graduates are tuned to physical sciences and rationality. Besides that present world favors logic which is govern by physical sciences. This article is an effort to bring rational minds closer to message of Quran as they are the intelligentia & driving force of current world. Once attracted to the sweetness of Quran, they could become source of strength to all Muslims. By following Quran, the guidance from Allah (swt), they could not only make their lives glistening but also help others to understand Quran.

One should remember that only spiritual explanation of Quran cures sick hearts - not the rational study. Rationality merely provides a bridge between physical sciences and great moral teachings of Quran. May Allah help us to understand Quran and give us the right knowledge to spread message of Quran - Ameen.


Introduction

In recent times, ideas are changing course of life at a great pace. Everyone knows that non-Muslims are suggesting most new ideas. Being non-Muslims, obviously they are ignorant to the need of any divine knowledge such as Quran. So, they solely base their ideas on experimental research or statistical analysis. People are now eager to adapt life-style drived from latest research. Hence, current world favours living a life based on research.

Ignoring Quran, the last guidance from Allah (swt), people have a very closed view while doing research. For example, results obtained from human research on politics will definitely ignore its effect on rain, crops, world climate and sea water. While politics, geology and oceanography looks very different from standpoint of current research, they are actually not. Politics is a very big issue, even a slightest act of cheating or lying could cause disastrous results in universe. Allah (swt) says:

Iyah from Quran

People are mostly saved from misery and catastrophe because all human beings are living under the immense mercy of Allah (swt). Allah (swt) says:

Iyah from Quran

If Muslims were dominant force of current world, they would use both Quran and research to present new ideas. They will not waste time to do research on something already told in Quran. Allah (swt) says:

Iyah from Quran

In this article an effort is made to present 2 old ideas which are assumed new in current world. One can comprehend true state of current world, its people and their ideas by reading and understanding Quran. With the eyes and ears obtained from Quran, one can clearly see injustice hidden in any idea. May Allah guide us in the right direction to learn Quran - Ameen.


Exploring Old Acts Of Human Beings

2. Nobel Prize On Presenting A Theory About Markets with Asymmetric Information
Year 2001 nobel prize of Economic Sciences has given to three US folks for their analyses of markets with asymmetric information. This analyses showed that "In many markets actors on one side of the market have much better information than those on the other". For example, car sellers have more information than car buyers about the car quality and its defects. Due to the presence of asymmetric information, car sellers can cheat its buyers. While it looks like a new idea, actually it is not. When we refer to Quran, we find that "Theory of Asymmetric Information" was well addressed by Prophet Hazrat Shoaib (as). Allah (swt) says in Quran:

Iyah from Quran

Those economists also bring about the idea of incentives for the actor with more information to avoid adverse selection due to asymmetric information. They have proposed that any actor, either buyer or seller, with more information should be given some kind of incentive in order to speak out the truth and hence no cheating. While they have proposed incentives, Allah (swt) has made the issue of sincerely dealing with asymmetric information fundamental to all human transactions. Allah (swt) orders His believers:

Iyah from Quran

One can well imagine with the imperfection of this top class research that where do humans stand in terms of understanding interconnected phenomenon of universe. Quality of human transactions can only be improved if human interact in a way Quran reveals. Allah (swt) says Listen and Obey.

1. Family Law Act To Recognize Same-Sex Couples
There is a great deal of legal work going on in US and European countries to formulate a law that recognizes same-sex partners. While people in US or Europe may consider themselves pioneers of such movement and still struggling for a law that recognizes same-sex partners, readers of Quran all over the world clearly know that this is not the case. Allah (swt) reveals that people in the nation of Prophet Hazrat Loaat (as) were the first in human race who legalized same-sex marriages. In Quran, Allah (swt) says:

Iyah from Quran

Conclusion

It is a high time for all Muslims to come forward and strongly hold the book of Allah (swt) close to their heart. Especially educated Muslims bear great responsibility to understand Quran and start efforts to bring back the Deen of Allah (swt) to this world. May Allah (swt) forgive all our mistakes and help us to understand Quran - Ameen. Allah (swt) says:

Iyah from Quran

And Allah is He who has (Full) Knowledge and Wisdom.
