Allah has sent down the Qur’an to all people as a guide. This is why the Qur’an is extremely comprehensible and clear. Allah thus stresses this characteristic of the Qur’an: “ … A Light has come to you from Allah and a Clear Book.” (Surat al-Ma’ida, 15) Another verse further clarifies this: In this way We have sent it (the Qur’an) down with Clear Signs. Allah guides anyone He wills. (Surat al-Hajj, 16) To be able to see the wisdom in the Qur’an and to comprehend its supreme features, one who reads it must be a hundred percent sincere and always think in accordance with his conscience. However, it needs to be made clear that Muslims must strongly avoid producing pronouncements from the Qur’an on the basis of their own personal interpretations and opinions. The most appropriate thing to do for people seeking answers on these subjects is to make use of the catechisms collected by Ahl al-Sunnah scholars.
