Film Description

This film is five minutes of a longer interview I did with many people who study the Quran daily (Quran, chapter 18, verse 27). They also participate in group Quran studies. These studies occur throughout the world. There are no teachers or other sources. People equally take part in the discussions. This new movement fulfills those who sincerely seek to learn and comprehend the original facts and laws of Islam faith (6:114), based on worshiping God alone, La Elaha EllallLah (37:35). They believe the Quran is the word of God, as are the Old and New Testaments. The Lord of the universe says sincere people can understand the Quran (56:79). It is easy to understand as promised by God (54:17). God instructs that we should read the Quran cover to cover (73:4). Studying in a group allows individuals to peacefully and freely share their understanding while benefiting from the counsel of others. The Quran, which was revealed to Prophet Mohammad, provides explanations for everything (16:89). In such studies, therefore, no one uses the verses out of context or adds interpretations to the verses. If people who are searching for the truth read the entire Quran carefully and reflect on it, they will find amazing teachings and guidance for their life, God willing. Each individual solely benefits and is responsible for his own understanding and practices. As a testimony of his or her belief, each person strives to be truthful, to forgive, to be generous, to never aggress, and to stand up for truth and justice throughout life. As mentioned in the Quran, anybody who follows the divine laws will be saved on the Day of Judgment. God guarantees happiness in this world and in the hereafter for all believers. They can be a Christian, a Jew, or a follower of any other faith who believes in God, believes in the hereafter, and leads a righteous life (2:62). May God be pleased by our righteous work, and faith and help us to establish the peace and tranquility on Earth, EnshaAllah.
