According to the Islamic belief the Holy Quran is a Divine Book. It contains the words of God Almighty revealede at His last Prophet Muhammad. The verses of the Holy Quran were revealed on the happiness of particular events and its each and every vers has a connention of its own and on different and seprate background.
It is stated that that as the Holy Quran is the words of God and the Laws of God for humen-beings , no earthly power can sit upon judgment on it and no Court of Law has jurisdiction to adjudicate it.The Holy Books like the Quran, Bible, Torah, Psalm and even Geeta and Granth Sahib ete……., or their translations cannot be the subject-matters of adjudication in any Court of law. All Holy Scriptures are immune from Judicial Secrutiny.
In accordance with the Encyclopedia Britannica at page 444 and 445, the Holy Quran is a basic text. This cannot be made justiciable in any Court of Law. The challenge of the Petitioner amounts to not only an insult to the Muslim Religion as such but against all other Religions also.
The Holy Quran is the sacred scripture of religion of Islam. It is the book in the Arabic language containing about 80,000 words. It is coposed of 114 chapters (surahs) of varying size. The first chapter, entitled “The Opening” is the form of a short devotional prayer ; it is constantly so used,ceremonially and otherwise, and by copmarativists has been called “ The Lord’s Prayer of the Muslims”. It is addressed to God. The remainder of the Holy Quran is in the form of an address from God; He either speaking Himself, sometimes in the first person,or else through the imperative UL, “Say” which introduces many verses and passages and some surahs, ordering that the words that follow be proclaimed. The subject matter is varied; passages of one or several verses, or of an entire surah, deal in diverse ways with many topics. It speaks about Oneness and Omniscience and Supreme Majesty of God. The style at time fiery, is powerful, the general tone deeply moralist and theocentric; the whole reverberates with a passionate demand for obedience to the will of a transcendent but near and mightly active God.
In the faith of Muslims, and according to the theory propounded in the book itself, the Holy Quran is revealed word of God. This postulates God, and indeeded the kind of God who has something to say to us and who takes the initiative in saying it.Religion in this view is not a human searching after God; it is God who acts, is known because and insofar as, and only as, He chooses to disclose Himself.
In the Muslim view, God created the Universe; ordaining it’s processes and controlling them. He prescribed a pattern or order, which must obey. For man also, He obtained a pattern of behaviour, but unlike the rest of the Natural World, man was made conscious and free, to choose weather or not he will confirm to God’s decrees. There is for mankind a right way to live; these are the Holy Books that seek to make this know.
For Muslims, the Holy Quran is the ‘ ipsissima verba’ of God himself. It is God speaking to man not merely in 7th century, Arabia to Muhammad but from all eternity to every man through-out the world including the individual Muslim as he reads it or devoutly holds it. It is eternal breaking through into time, the unknowable disclosed, the transcendent entering history and remaining here, available to mortals to handle and to appropriate, the divine become apparent. To memorise it, as many Muslims have ceremonially done, and perhaps even to quote from it, as every muslim does daily in his formal prayers and otherwise, is to enter into some sorts of communion with ultimate reality.
As pointed out in Hallsbury 4th Ed. Vol 18 on “ Foreign Relations Law,” right of freedom of thought, conscience and religion includes freedom, alone or with or in community with others, and in public and private, to manifest religion or belief in worship, teaching, ptactice and observance. In my opinion, the action proposed will deprive a class of persons of their humen rights.
There is an other aspect of the matter. The sacred book of the Holy Quran has been in existence for a number of years with it’s different interpretations and translations. Up to now no one has choosen to challenge the same.
There is no question of forfeiture or banning of the said book on the grounds of disharmony or feelings of enmity or hatred or ill-will different religions and communities. This book is not prejudicial to the maintenance of hormony between different religions, nations and states because of the Holy Quran no bublic tranquility has been disturbed up to now and there is no reason apprehend any likehood of such disturbance in future.
Similarly, in my opinion, it may be said by that petition, the petitioner insult or attempt to insult the Religion of Islam and the religious belief of the Muslims on the Holy Book Quran.
So, I named, Ali MALLHI submit and publish this OPEN LETTER that this Hon’able Court of Amsterdam has no power trail the Holy Quran, nor jurisdiction to pronounce a Judgment on the Holy Quran, the Holy Scripture of the Muslims all over the world, each and every world of which, according to the Islamic belief, is unalterable. Court of mankind cannot sit in judgment on The Quran, The Bible, The Torah, The Pslam, The Geeta, The Granth Sahib, etc……..
