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.

In this article few Ayah from Quran are presented to understand how unaware we are from what Allah (swt) do and our disability to comprehend reason and logic behind His work. After going through these Ayah ones heart would say that we have to listen to Allah (swt) and obey it all our lives. May Allah (swt) make these Ayah to penetrate deep in our hearts and bring us closer to enduring message of Quran. Ameen.

Especially pay attention to the following portion of conversation.
