QUESTION 2

The Holy Quran states that Allah punished Satan after a lot of worship, just because of the refusal of a prostration. Why Allah did not forgive him? Isn’t Allah the most merciful?

ANSWER

To answer the question, a few important points should be noted:

First, some people calculate their sins singly or according to the duration. For example, they say: “I committed this sin only once or ten times” or “The duration of my sin was one hour, why does it have such a heavy punishment?”

Allah does not calculate so. He sees the sin and its effects up to Doomsday and records all in doer’s deed book. Sūrah Yāsīn: verse 12: “…and We make a record of what they have sent ahead of them regarding their deeds and of what they have left behind, of the trace of their deeds…..”[1]

QUESTION 1

The Qurʼān in our hands is of Kūfiyy (کوفی) manuscripts. But it seems due to the absence of points and vowel signs at the time of the advent of Islam, the present Qurʼān  is not probably the original one and is changed (because the Arabic script today has pointed texts and is fully vowelled). Is it true?

ANSWER

 There are several answers here:

A.  The science of graphology is so advanced that not only recognizes and translates the remaining works of Plato and Aristotle, but also it transcribes the cuneiform inscriptions and translates them to the language of the day. Collating and comparing them with other documents also show that they were transcribed and translated correctly. Therefore, this science can be used for transcribing the remaining Kūfiyy copies of the Quran.
