BACKGROUND OF COMPILING‘THE APPLIED KORAN’Three unfortunate events of divorces had occurredsuccessively amongst my kinsfolk during the last decades. Ineach case, terrible sufferings came forth to the life of aninnocent small suckling baby – being bereaved of the care andaffection of the mother and the resultant consequences.Thedevorces had come about suddenly and unreasonably with lameexcuses of the bridegrooms for second marriages and beingcompelled under duress by the guardians of the brides in themarriage gatherings at their houses. The bridegrooms had tosign the marriage-documents of the brides concerned – as wellas – the divorce-documents of their previous wives – under theguidance of local Marriage Registrar.Of course, happenings of these types had beenoccurring every now and then in the rural areas and, generally,the weak party is the victim of the powerful one. And in eachand every occasion, the so-called religious teachers pronouncetheir verdicts in favour of the powerful partisan – without anyexception – whether right or wrong. No one is there to questionthem due to lack of courage and religious knowledge.I had a mental shock from all these affairs and my mindimpelled me to do something so that the undue injustices areredressed and the sufferings of the concerned are redeemed.But finding no clear-cut and well-defined State Laws on thesubject, I decided to look for and find the Directives of TheKoran, if any, to help-solve the purpose for the future.So,I read The Koran very thoroughly and minutelyagain and again. I found, with pleasure, The KoranicVerdicts, regarding almost all aspects of social and religious

matters, very much intelligible, righteous and humane innature for people concerned. I also found from the study of TheKoran that the tragic divorces, occurred in the past concerningmy kinsfolk were unlawful and most people who trade and liveon religions are either ignorant of The Koranic Verdicts or ofservile character.So, I decided to compile The Koran in its present formand contents – on the basis of The Koran translated intoEnglish by N. J. Dawood and published by Penguin Books ofEngland – quoting its verses in toto. I hoped that it mightprofitably be applicable for Muslim Societies anywhere in theworld – in solving their social or religious problemsaccording to Koranic Laws.I entitled the compilation as ‘The Applied Koran’ andin that I used the type of verses – having Precise Meaningswith clear-cut Orders of God – carefully avoiding that type ofthe Ambiguous Ones – as referred to by the ‘Verse – 3:7’.While reading The Koran very thoroughly and minutelyfor its compilation, I accumulated all the noteworthy pointsfrom the vast and extensive store of Verses of The Koran,sorted them out into different classes, marked them with theirreference numbers of ‘Surahs and Verses’ and arranged thesedata Subject-wise and in Numerical Orders – so that itbecomes easy for the people of even general calibre to find out,by themselves, the relevant verses bearing the solution inrespect of their social and religious problems. Yes, it will beeasy for them to do the job as the Verses of The Koran arevery much simple, clear, plain and upright without anycomplexity or crookedness and, of course, easilycomprehensible in accordance with the verses mentionedherein (Ref. Nos. only):- 10:15; 12:2; 15:1; 17:89; 18:1, 2, 54;19:97; 28:2; 39:28; 41:3, 44; 43:2; 44:2, 58; 54:17, 22, 32, 40;.

Koranic solution of problems, arisen out of anydebatable subject, can easily be found out almost instantly –looking at the relavant page in the Index of The Applied Koran.Even less educated people of rural areas can, by themselves,very easily find out the desired Koranic solution of their localproblems – social or religious – and bring social orders to theirlocality.‘THE APPLIED KORAN’ – Why this title is?The cheif and important part of this publicationconsists of quotations of the verses of The Koran or relatedportion of any verse on different subjects as religiousguidance– all in toto. The other parts are related to the versesbearing Directives of God – to be followed by His devotedservants. So, everything is either verses of The Koran or relatedto it. And as all these have been compiled only for trueapplication by people concerned in their social and religiousday-to-day life, the compilation has been entitled to as ‘TheApplied Koran’.‘The Applied Koran’ has been compiled in ThreeChapters of distinctly different subject-matters :Chapter I – Comprises of social and religious matters, such as– Faith; Prayers And Ibadat; Fasting; Pilgrimage; AlmsAnd Alms Levy; Marriages; Divorces; Defaming ofHonourable Women; Adultery; Fornication; Inheritance ofDeceased’s properties; Lawful And Unlawful Things (Food,Drinks, Work and Behaviours etc.); Likings And Dislikingsof God;Chapter II – Deals with exclusively Heavenly Affairs – thePromises of God – Direct as well as Indirect – to Hisdevoted servants to get them admitted into Heaven for theirqualified, different services to Him in this world.

There are two ‘Statistics’ also on the basis of differentCategories of services to God (Direct and Indirect Promises)– and another – in respect of the obtainable Happiness andComfort in The Heaven.Chapter III – Covers the History of Religions with theBiographies and Activities of all the Apostles and Prophets– Adam to Muhammad – mentioned in The Koran – duringdifferent Ages.Besides, The Reciprocal Recognition of the HolyScriptures – The Torah, The Bible and The Koran; The‘Discords’, ‘Disagreements’, and ultimate ‘Disintegration ofthe Original Religion against the Universal Faith ofAbraham.Miscellaneous Orders, Instructions and Guidancesof God have also been included in this Chapter – allAlphabetically arranged.All statements – in term of Verses – mentioned in TheApplied Koran have, invariably, been supported by theirKoranic Reference Numbers to prove their genuineness.Mohammad Abdus Subhan,Compiler.
