April 23rd, coinciding with World Book Day, is annually celebrated by UNESCO.
This day sees the release of research focusing on reading habits, library expansions, reading promotion, and bestselling books.
Despite the prevalence of technology and widespread internet access, books remain immensely popular worldwide. Every year, publishers across the globe release thousands of books, some of which compete with each other to become bestsellers.
Research institutions worldwide have identified the Holy Quran as one of the top-selling books globally, particularly in Islamic regions.
The Quran is not only a religious text but also a guide for life, law, and personal conduct.
Every year, copies are printed in numerous languages and distributed globally, facilitating both religious practices and scholarly studies.
This demonstrates the timelessness of the Quran, as its profound wisdom and universal relevance continue to inspire and guide people across generations and cultures, transcending the constraints of time and place.
Here are a few aspects that contribute to its timelessness:
- Universal Themes: The Quran addresses universal themes such as justice, empathy, resilience, and spirituality. These topics resonate with individuals across different times and societies, making its messages perpetually pertinent.
- Comprehensive Guidance: It provides guidance on a wide range of life’s aspects, from personal conduct and morality to societal laws and governance. This comprehensive approach allows it to remain relevant as a source of spiritual, ethical, legal, and social guidance.
- Spiritual and Moral Insights: The Quran offers deep spiritual wisdom and moral advice that help followers navigate their lives’ moral and ethical dilemmas. Its emphasis on virtues like honesty, mercy, and compassion is applicable to human behavior in any era.
- Linguistic and Literary Excellence: The Quran is highly regarded for its linguistic beauty and literary excellence. Its poetic verses are considered a miracle of literature by believers, contributing to its revered status and widespread memorization and recitation.
We hope that the teachings of the Quran continue to spread, touching hearts, enlightening minds, enriching lives and guiding us all.
