Seminar at AMU
Prof Saud Alam Qasmi, Dean, Faculty of Theology, AMU, and renowned Islamic Scholar while addressing a seminar on Relevance of Quran in Contemporary Times' organised 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 utilise 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.
