(Quran in Mashhad, Iran , written by Ali Ali ibn Abi Talib, who was the cousin and son-in-law of the Islamic prophet Muhammad)

Holy text of the Muslims accepted as revelations from the prophet Muhammad; divinely authorized basis for the regulations of the Islamic world. (Glossary for the Vahinis)

The Quran also declares that purity of heart is essential for experiencing God. (SSS Vol.19, p. 101)

In Persian, ‘Islam’ means ‘surrender’ or ‘peace’. The inner meaning of this term is that man should surrender to God and live in peace with his fellow men. The holy book of Islam, the Quran, contains many sacred precepts. ‘Salat’ is one such precept. It enjoins one to worship God with steady faith. Another precept is ‘Zakat’, which enjoins the believer to practise charity for relieving fellow-beings in need or in distress.

The Quran declared that in discussing matters of religion and the teachings of different religions, acrimony should not be imported into the debate and the differences should be considered without bitterness. This is affirmed by every religion. But the followers of each faith, forgetting this fundamental truth, raised barriers based on credal differences which were really verbal and not fundamental.
