IRK THOERY CONTINUES ............(4.) The Qur’an is not only talking to the Muslims or to a particular sect of Muslim. The Qur’an is also talking to Non-Islamic societies as well as the Muslim nation as a whole. There are many references to non- believers and idol-worshippers, to the people of the Book (Jews or the Tribe of Isreal, and the Christians). The Qur’an calls each group to Islam by providing proofs and never stipulates that they be of Arab stock. Referring to the idol- worshippers, Allah says in Sura Al-Bara’at, verse 11: “If they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then they are your brothers in religion.” The universal message is clear in its complexity for it develops the idea that Islam and Qur’an is the message for all human beings. Likewise, Allah talks about the people of the Book, { Jews, Christians, and Arabs (Zoroastrians) }. “Say O people of the Book come to an agreement between us and you: That you shall worship none but God and that we shall ascribe no partners to him and that none of us shall take others for Lords beside God.” (Sura Al-e- Imran, verse 64) In these verses we see Allah addressing different people telling them of the right path, surely this is the most gracious Book to guide us al
