Allama Iqbal eloquently states that a Muslim's life is defined by adherence to a constitutional framework – the Quran. This framework sustains the Muslim community, analogous to the body sustained by the soul. Just as a body ceases to function without a soul, the community’s vitality depends on the Quran. The Quran is the heart of the Muslim community, a guiding force and connection to God. Without this divine connection, existence is meaningless; the community is merely dust without a guiding light. The Quran is the rope of God, providing strength and direction. A life devoid of this connection lacks purpose and substance.

During the Hijra, when the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) were in the cave of Thawr, they feared discovery. Abu Bakr expressed concern that even a glance inside would reveal them. The Prophet reassured him, reminding him of God’s support. Consequently, Allah sent down tranquility upon them and reinforced them with unseen forces. This event resulted in the subjugation of the disbelievers and the ultimate triumph of Islam throughout the Arabian Peninsula. God’s word is supreme, and He is the Most Powerful, the Most Wise.
