All praise be to God, the All-Sufficient, He who created man and all he needs. The Lord who blessed human being with guidance through His Book. The Qur’an is the main source of Islamic theology. Yet, it is upon humankind to utilize the blessing of thought and reason to understand the teachings of this Book.

Accordingly, the Qur’an has a systematic theology; this system is the main source and reference of the Muslims. In this book we tried to provide the reader with the theology of the Qur’an clearly and concisely, covering most of the necessary subjects.

Chapter one discusses God, because God, His existence and attributes, are the Qur’an’s main teaching. In addition, God is the source of the entire existence according to the Qur’an. We discuss the human being in chapter two, because the Qur’an has been sent to guide the humankind and the teachings of the Qur’an are for the humans. The third chapter discusses prophethood, and prophets are also human, by which God sent His message to mankind. Chapter four is about the Hereafter, a pillar of the teachings of the Qur’an. According to the Qur’an every person shall meet the Hereafter when his death comes.

Most of the theological issues of the Qur’an have been discussed here. We tried to bring the various subjects in a clear and concise way using the verses of the Qur’an. May it be beneficial for the readers.

I would like to offer my gratitude to the scholars who helped for this book, including Muhammad Rassafi, Ali Reza Maktabdar, Mohammd Hossein Khoddami, Seyed Esmaeil Ghazanfari, Muhammad Reza Farajian Shoushtari and many of our friends who studied this book and helped us with their beneficial comments. I would also like to thank Seyed Hossein Marashi, and Muzafar Essop who helped with their helpful comments and were the language editors.
