From the early generation of Noah to the era we live in, God has been choosing His scriptures to communicate His message with us. His final words to humanity in Quran have been witnessed for many centuries by those who choose logic and facts over nonsense and conjecture. The Most Gracious has designed Quran to fit the boom in technology, mathematics and science of our time. Furthermore, it is evident that everyday, the knowledgeable, scientific and intelligent minds will continue to find out more hidden facts about this last divine and coded document to humanity.

Most humans, however, have been setting a precedent of misjudging, underestimating and mishandling God's words sent to them. God's messengers have been delivering and confirming His scriptures and presenting all sorts of proofs and miracles. Yet, the majority rejects logic and guidance, and the majority of those who choose faith fail to handle the word of God with truthfulness and integrity. Mishandling the word of God during a temporary phase of weak faith or during a permanent act of misguidance is a failure to uphold God's absolute authority. Thus, it is a form of idol worship which is a common brand of disbelief.

Our generation has witnessed an overwhelming scientific evidence that God's very own ARABIC words, narration and context that were revealed to and written by the hands of prophet Muhammad more than 14 centuries ago MUST BE perfect (18:2, 11:1), accurate (12:3), straightforward except for allegories (3:7), fully detailed & infallible (10:37), with no ambiguity (39:27-28), contradictions (39:23), or flaws (18:1). Such conviction is based on the unwavering belief that every word in Quran is mathematically proven to be authored by God and thus these attributes stated by Him in His book are divine, non-negotiable facts.

Even with this blessing that reassures our hearts everyday there are those who confess their failure to value and fully appreciate the above attributes as documented by God in His proven scripture. Their weakness and/or disbelief leads them to brush away those qualities and underestimate the word of God. Quran is full of reminders that prove it is indeed a typical human behavior to abuse and mishandle the word of God out of disbelief in exchange of all sorts of life gains and to express loyalty and love to idols of all kinds and forms.

Believers from among the previous generations had witnessed many patterns of this abuse and we have been witnessing the same! Please, let's reflect on these patterns from the past, to heed the guidance and appropriately choose our actions in the present. This will impact the growth of our souls, and will help us shape a brighter future for our communities through the righteous precedents we set:

- In the past, some recipients of the scriptures prior to Quran concealed parts of them, knowingly. This is also happening in front of our eyes, knowingly, while publishing and distributing different translations of Quran with some missing words and/or statements in certain verses that exist in the original text and are not compensated in the corresponding translations of such verses. Besides the concealment of the Truth, this is also considered "tempering" with the word of God which will be mentioned in the next point. Please reflect:

- Some recipients of the scriptures temper with the word of God. This was practiced in the past with previous scriptures and was done to Quran by adding the two false verses at the end of chapter 9. In the Present time, and in addition to the above mentioned example in recent published translations, tempering with the word of God is also happening in print shops all over the "Islamic" world when some insist to print certain Arabic words in Quran with extra or less letters only to mess up with their counts and to confuse the mathematical findings for us. Thankfully, the mathematical miracle has been serving its purpose of preserving Quran despite these cheap attempts.

- After witnessing the Truth, some would conclude baseless understandings and confound them with the Truth to sound more appealing to their audience. This deceiving behavior has been orchestrated by Satan for long to pollute God's teachings and practices and invent rituals & commands that were never authorized by God. The Truth would easily nullify baseless claims. The Truth is always verifiable (8:8, 37:155-157, 10:32).

- Selective or partial application of certain verses has been a disastrous practice to confuse the teachings and the commands for us. While God has been warning against this practice and ordering us to read the entire book before reaching conclusions, partial or selective application of the scripture has been misguiding many recipients and has been one profound mean used by the enemies of God to divide communities, turn off God's light and repel people from His path:

-The failure to proclaim and promote God's scripture breaks a covenant we once made with God and is also a wasteful way of handling the Truth. We do not deserve the scripture if we do not proclaim it and promote it:

- The failure to defend the infallible word of God is nothing but a failure to validate the Truth and support God. We witness this failure by those who are weak in faith and character. They resort to silence, waver and tolerate nonsense about the word of God in times when they are supposed to stand for the truth only to gain social privileges and portray themselves as gracious and kind believers! This behavior is no different from offering a false testimony, and it again breaks the covenant we made with God in 3:187 to proclaim His truth. We also witness others wasting their lives and time defending man-made doctrines rather than the clear black and white word of God. After witnessing the truth, and knowing what is revealed by God, there should be no room for such compromise:

- The failure to study the scripture from cover to cover (73:1-7, 17:78-79) shields us from the divine knowledge and deprives us from establishing belief in our hearts (2:121) and achieving the blessing of certainty. We thus fall as easy victims to doubt and to falsifiers. Those who rely on others to spoon-feed them information without dwelling on knowledge and verifying information for themselves are only wasting their chance on earth and regressing their souls. God equally commands all believers to study Quran and to increase their knowledge. We cannot properly invite others to Quran, as individuals or communities, without a solid knowledge of Quran. Knowledge is the cure for ignorance and the weapon to defeat conjecture.

- The failure to live by and uphold the scripture strongly sets the worst example for others and a clear manifestation of abuse. The unappreciative ones neglect the divine teachings and value man-made ones instead. This only provides a proof against them that they do not deserve the guidance.

The above failures and styles of scripture abuse are also a representation of soul and self abuse. As for God, He is NOT in need of any of us. We are the ones in desperate need to recognize Him, uphold His absolute authority and properly handle His truth to be redeemed.

In conclusion, God communicates with us through His words in His scriptures. Believers in God believe in His words. They fully appreciate them and properly handle them. Throughout history, the majority has failed to handle the word of God the way it should be handled. The majority has been displaying weak belief or lack of belief in God's scriptures. Many abusive patterns of the scripture have been reported by God in Quran for us to take heed. Submitters and believers in Quran are no exception! We witness this pattern of behavior everyday in dealing with Quran even though it is the only scripture stamped with a divine seal of preservation. This only conforms with the fact that the majority of those on earth are unappreciative. It also conforms with the fact that the majority of those who claim they believe love their idols more than God. This is merely why they fail to handle the word of God with honesty and integrity as dictated by Him.

Peaceful Friday, salaam and God bless
