Praise be to Allah the Almighty, the Most Gracious, the Compassionate, and the one who gave us the Holy Quran as our source of guidance. Indeed Quran is Life, guidance, and surely a lifestyle to those who believe as evidenced in the Holy Quran; “Oh, you who believe, respond to Allah and the Messenger when he calls you to what gives you life”
