God is bounteous and therefore He creates. He doesn’t need us, but He loves us and wants us to prosper. God is also just. He has given us all the facilities we need to live successfully through this system of life and attain everlasting pleasure in the Hereafter, which is what God intended.

This book is only a simple introduction into religion. It is an eye-opener for he who is too involved in earthly life. Earthly life is valuable, but only so much as it is a farm where we plant our deeds. We receive what we have planted in the afterlife. The message of the Qur’an is very simple; be curious, ask questions but don’t have predetermined answers, be unbiased and seek whatever the truth is. That is the logical way to live. The threats and the rewards that the Qur’an provides are only to provoke us to start thinking and asking questions. Nowhere in the Qur’an does God demand thoughtless obedience.

In fact, the Qur’an constantly invites us to use our own reasoning, unbiased. How much less could the Qur’an want? We are not plants, nor lifeless rocks. We have great abilities and of course with each ability comes an expectation, and yet all God has wanted from us is reasoning.

The threats in the Qur’an are true. Those who remain careless will really fall into the everlasting doom that the Qur’an describes. The rewards are just as real, and oh-so-easy to achieve. To attain salvation, seeking the truth is all that is needed.

We hope this book helps our reader. We don’t expect anything but the determination to search for the truth, whatever and wherever it may be, for you must not forget, this life will end and with it an eternal life will start. Should that life start with the serenity of light, or with the horror of evilness?
