Ahlul Bayt News Agency, ALIGARH, India -- Prof. Saud Alam Qasmi, Dean, Faculty of Theology and renowned Islamic Scholar while addressing a seminar on "Relevance of Quran in Contemporary Times" organized by the Law Society of Faculty of Law, said that the Holy Quran is relevant for every community, region and era.
The most convincing proof of this fact, he said, is that the science developed with a pace after the revelation of Quran as never. He pointed out that before the revelation of Holy Quran and out of their ignorance, people took physical phenomena as charismatic and considered them God. The Quran taught them to disseminate, understand, and utilize such natural physical phenomena with wisdom and scientific reasoning, which ultimately resulted in the galloping progress in the field of science.
Prof. Qasmi said that law and morality both are essential for guiding the masses. He pointed out that Taurait was the collection of laws while Bible contained the moral guidelines only. But the Quran encompassed both for the complete guidance and salvation of mankind. The humanity can never be saved against the social and moral ills without adopting Quran in life.
In his welcome address, Chairman of Law Department, Prof. Iqbal Ali said that whatever science has discovered is already there in Quran.
Dean of the Law Faculty and President of Law Society, Prof. Mohammad Shabbir drew the attention to the fact that media is engaged in Anti-Islam propaganda but Islam is spreading fast because its teachings are based on humanity. Prof. Shabbir said that the main aim of the law Society is character building and development of the personality of students with an emphasis on making them aware of current affairs.
Incharge of Law Society, Dr. Shakeel Samdani said that most important relevance of Quran is that wherever people are practicing teachings of Quran, there is peace and justice. He said that if all the Muslims lead a life according to the teachings of Quran, the social evils like violence, terrorism, illiteracy, deprivation and marginalization will come to an end. He said that it will also help eliminate misunderstandings among non-Muslims.
