When people inquire about their religion, most people say that they are Muslims. However, many of them have not read the Qur'an, the just Book of Islam, even once. However, as has been mentioned throughout this book, the Qur'an is the revelation of Allah through which He introduces Himself and explains the real purpose of our life of this world and the next, as well as the attributes of moral perfection.

The Qur'an is unique, and therefore far superior to any other book. For this reason, the information that it contains is far superior to any other information. Every person who reads it with a sincere intention and sees the miracles, unique wisdom, and superiority that its verses convey will be guided to the truth. Whether people believe in it or not, the Qur'an is a reminder to all the worlds and is a miracle of our Lord, as we read in:

Allah will hold people responsible for their most recent state. If a person, seeing the truth, turns to Allah and the Qur'an and starts to lead a life seeking His good pleasure, Mercy, and Paradise, Allah will accept his or her repentance.
Thus, those who know that they will die one day and live an eternal life, and who are aware of Paradise and Hell, must consider their situation by conscience and wisdom and then decide how to conduct themselves. What befits one's conscience and wisdom is to lead one's life by seeking Allah's good pleasure, His Mercy and Paradise, and to comply with His commands. As He states in the Qur'an:
