Hi Folks

The aim and objective of Islamic Teaching is to remove all non-Quranic
ideologies, beliefs, and practices prevalent in present-day Islam, and
replace them with Quranic concepts based upon reason and rationale.
Quran is essentially directed towards individuals who are in search of
truth so that they can overcome the forces of secularism and be able
to establish a pure Islamic society.

Human intellect alone cannot solve life's problems. God's revelation
is required for human guidance in the same way that vision requires
light. God's revelation in its complete and final form is safely
preserved in the Quran. This is the universal and permanent source of
guidance for humanity for all time. Therefore, no further revelation,
nor any prophet, nor any messenger from God can come now. The Quran is
the final book of God and Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) his last
prophet and messenger.

Every claim of the Quran is based on reason and knowledge, and its
truths are beyond space and time. In order to comprehend Quranic
truths, it is essential to keep abreast of the advances made in human
knowledge. And since God has endowed human beings with the ability to
conquer the forces of nature, it is necessary that these forces be
conquered only to fulfill God's program for humanity. The life and
character of the Prophet represents the pinnacle of human dignity,
decency, and greatness. His exemplary life is the best role model for
humanity. There is no doubt about that part of the Prophet's life
which is preserved in the Quran. However, in regard to the part which
is outside the Quran, if there are historical narrations which
contradict the Quran, or if they go against the high moral character
of the Prophet, then these narrations are to be questioned and should
not be attributed to the Prophet. The same applies to the lives of his
companions.

The goal of the Deen (Islam) is to promote obedience to the laws of
Allah Almighty by freeing human beings from obedience to other human
beings. Such obedience to the laws of God is only possible through the
establishment of a system of government based on these laws. Without
this, the Deen (or the system of life based on the Quran) is not
possible.
