It will not give up that quality, that light of guidance, so that the genius of
The guidance of the former cannot combine with the philosophy of the latter, nor be grafted onto it, nor follow it.
The Shari'a has nourished the compassion and dignity of belief in the spirit of Islam. The Qur'an of Miraculous Exposition has taken the truths of the Shari'a in its shining hand;
