The Quran is a book of wisdom and knowledge. It is a human nurturing book. The one who is hostile toward the Quran is hostile toward knowledge, wisdom, and human development. The Quran is against oppression. It encourages people to stand up to oppression “Neither harm others, nor be harmed” (2:279). The Quran is a call to awaken people. The one who is hostile toward the Quran does not want people to be awakened. He opposes the fight against oppression. They are disgracing themselves [with these actions]. The Quran is becoming more luminous day by day. This luminous book is becoming more and more visible in the world every day.
