Muslim Woman - Quran means Universal Announcement
The word Quran according to Arabic linguistic (ibn-e-faris) means
"collecting". The Holy Quran is a collection of surahs (chapters) and
these surahs are linked with one another in a very synchroned
formation. Another reknown arabic Linguistic (Raghib) has described
that Quran is a gist of all divine scriptures (books) which Allah
Almighty (God) has sent for mankind. Many other linguistics believed
that the root of Quran has derived from hebrew language which means
"announcement".
O Messenger! You should proclaim the attribute of Rabubiyyat
(nourishment) of your Rabb (God), Who is the Creator of the universe.
Proclaim that the One who has created living beings has also created
means for their nourishment. chapter 96, verse:1.
Therefore the word Quran mean's "global, universal announcement" or
declaration. The gist of Holy Quran teachings is, that an individual
subdue his-her will to the laws of Allah Almighty (God) which is in
the book (Quran). But this kind of obedience does'nt abide due to any
fear and force (like the fear of tyrants).
Here Allah Almighty (God) has said that obedience should be come
straight from heart. The one who follows according to Quranic
definition of obedience is called Muslim and the system which these
muslims establish is known as "Islam".
