The Holy Qur'an 473 of physical medicine, among which was included the book of the expert Physician Qarshi, and it was indicated to me that these Books contained a commentary on the. Holy Qur'ān. This shows that there is a deep relationship between the science of bodies and the science of religion and that they confirm each other. When I looked at the. Holy Qur'an, keeping in mind the books that dealt with physical medicine, I discovered that the Holy Qur'ān sets out in an excellent manner the principles of physical medicine. [Chashma-e-Ma'rifat, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, Vol. 23, pp. 102-103]. Holy Qur'an- the Universal Book. The Book that would have been revealed at the beginning of creation could not, according to reason, be a perfect. Book. It would be like a teacher who teaches children the alphabet. It is obvious that for such elementary instruction, no great ability is needed. When human experience increased and man fell into many errors, detailed instruction became necessary especially when the darkness of error became widespread and human souls became involved in diverse types of intellectual and practical misguidance. At that time a superior and perfect teaching was needed and that came in the Holy Qur'ān. In the beginning instruction of a high grade was not needed for human souls were simple and no darkness or misguidance had settled on them. Superior teaching was needed in the book which appeared at the time of extreme misguidance and came for the reform of the people whose false doctrines had become confirmed and whose evil conduct had become a habit.
