Surah 56 · Verse 77

[56:77-79] You will find on the cover of almost all published Quranic manuscripts a few verses. If you check, you will probably find 56:77-79 written in Arabic calligraphy. Why among hundreds of verses describing the Quran, has the convention decided on these verses? Out of more than 50 descriptive noun-adjectives used for the Quran, why would they pick "Karym" (Honorable)? Al-Quran il-Karym? Why not more frequently used words such as Zikr (Message), Hakym (Wise), Mubyn (Clear), Nur (Light), instead of Karym? Why is this verse highlighted in connection to the Quran? Why not, for instance, the verses repeatedly reminding us of the easy-to-understand language of the Quran (54:17,22,32,40)? Or, why not one of these verses: 12:111; 15:1; 17:9; 17:88; 17:89; 30:58; 41:3; 55:2 . . .? We have all the reason to be suspicious of the intention of those who dedicated Chapter 36 (Ya Sin) to be recited in funerals for the DEAD, the chapter that contains the only verse declaring that the Quran is sent to remind the LIVING beings (36:70)! We have all the reason to be suspicious of the intention of those who picked the name hadith, a negative word when used for hearsay narrations and teachings other than the Quran, to depict another source besides the Quran! So, why did they pick the word "Karym" as the most common adjective for the Quran and verses 56:77-79 as the most common subtitle for the covers of manuscripts? Those who appreciate the Quran know the answer to the question very well: The polytheistic clergymen and scholars who betrayed the Quran, reached a consensus in not understanding or misunderstanding 56:77-79, and they thought they could repel others from the Quran according to their misunderstanding. They distorted the meaning of these verses by claiming that those who do not have ablution, including the women who they considered "dirty" because of menstruation, should not touch the Quran. Now we may infer why the verse whose meaning has been distorted by consensus is picked for the cover of the Quran manuscripts. Now we may infer why the adjective mentioned in that verse was made the most popular adjective of the Quran. We believe that this is a part of a diabolic conspiracy to prevent the Quran from becoming a pocket book, a book of quick reference; they keep the Quran on high shelves or nail it on high walls far away from people’s reach… Unfortunately, this plan has worked successfully. The Quran has been transformed from being a guide, a reference book, a map, a compass, into a dangerous object, like a train, like a high-voltage transformer station! When the Quran becomes a book toodifficult-to-understand, making it impossible to reach its "high" meanings, and dangerous to touch, then rush in volumes of hadiths, loads of sunna, barrels of hearsay, mishmash heaps of sectarian teachings, piles of nonsense, tons of superstitions, hordes of holy men, and troops of holy merchants. This explains the misery, backwardness, oppression, repression, division, and corruption rampant in the so-called "Muslim countries." The unappreciative people who deem the Quran insufficient, because of their prejudice, are not permitted to understand the Quran (6:110; 17:45; 18:57). It is interesting that those who do not accept the Quran as the sole authority do not understand the very verses about understanding the Quran. Thus, 7:3; 17:46; 41:44; 56:79 are delicious art work that function both as the "thesis and the evidence."
