Comparison between Quranic and non-Quranic ways of living

Abstract

Indeed, this is thought provoking to compare Quranic and non-Quranic ways of living. Our current lifestyle is quite different from the one that is propounded by the Holy Quran even as if (the Quran) is not a book to be abandoned but is valid till the Day of Judgment. The Quran is an everlasting miracle and lots of scientists have benefited from it, so far. In this research paper we will prove pre-eminence of the Quranic way of living over all other lifestyles. It is crystal clear that as compared to others the Creator or Inventor has the right to make the rules and regulations of an invented or created thing because others are ignorant of the needs and requirements of that thing. Likewise, being the Creator of human being, it is Allah the Almighty Who knows the requirements and needs of humans. The Quran challenges to produce a verse like it. It says: “And if ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant, then produce a Surah like thereunto." It is also a fact that each and every system or thought has a manifesto and a body of law which is called constitution. Being Muslims, why our way of living is different than mentioned in the Quran when we believe that Islam is a complete code of life and the Quran is its constitution. The author, in this article, has talked about the importance of Quranic way of living as compared to other lifestyles. It is to be remembered that the Quran elucidates matters scientifically as well as logically. It invites us to use our rational faculties & provides general and specific guidelines for those who are trying to spend their lives according to the teachings of the Quran. It is the responsibility of modern Islamic scholars to interpret the Quran in a way that it provides answers to the contemporary challenges because it (the Quran) is not a book to be forsaken but it is for all times to come and provides guidance to the whole humanity.
