The commendation of good deeds, rejection of vices, the relationship between men and women, the directives for war and peace, marriage, business a nd economy, matters of trade [are all contained within it ]. In short, there is nothing you could ask for which the Holy Qur’ān does no t give you an answer. The Holy P rophet Muhammad sa was given such a book, before which nothing else i s it s equal.
