The system of understanding the Quran is also given by the Quran. When we read it frequently and without prejudice, we see that the questions that appear in our minds to understand a verse are found, explained and elaborated in other verse or verses. Therefore, to understand the message is to accept the primary textbook as an organism and ask the Quran to the Qur’an again.
Because the Almighty Allah has undertaken to explain the Quran to no one but Himself:
75:16 Move not your tongue with it, to hasten with recitation of the Quran.
75:17 Indeed, upon Us is its collection and its recitation.
75:18-So when We have recited it, then follow its recitation.
75:19-Then upon Us is its clarification.
Each of the verses is an element and all elements connected together almost like a network. From this structure we understand that our Lord makes His Book clear, easy, and understandable to the minds that appeal to reason, conceive, inquire, and criticize. We are trying to put this into practice in this work we have prepared. We tried to explain and detail the verses, without any personal comments, by referring to the Qur’anic verses only. When doing this, we derived questions about the verses by different perspectives.
Example: 1:2 All] praise is to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
Question: What does Lord of the worlds mean?
Answer: 26:23 Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"
26:24 [Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."
Example: 1:4 Sovereign of the Day of Recompense.
Question: What does the Day of Recompense?
Answer: 82:18 Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
82:19 It is the Day when a soul will not possess for another soul a thing; and the command, that Day, is with Allah .
Our goal is to combine the pieces together to make the reader see the whole picture and leave it alone with his own understanding.
No one who perceives the message of the Quran will serve other than Allah:
11:1 Alif, Lam, Ra. This is such a book that the verses have been perfected by the all Wise and all Knowing One, and then explained and elaborated,
11:2 that you will not worship anyone besides Allah.
