Deep dives

The Transformative Goal of the Quran

The Quran aims not just to convey laws and historical accounts; its primary goal is transformation within individuals and societies. This transformation involves an understanding of why certain practices are important in Islam, such as prayer and modesty, beyond mere compliance. An analogy is presented where a father imposes strict religious practices on his daughters without explanation, which may lead to resentment rather than genuine faith. Genuine transformation stems from a clear understanding and love for the teachings of Islam rather than surface-level adherence driven by fear or authority.
