ABSTRACT
The arrangement of the surahs in the Qur’an essentially goes from the very long to the very short. In the Qur’an, the pronunciation of Allaah depends on the grammatical function of the word ‘Allaah’ in the sentence in question. It is pronounced Allaahu when in the nominative, Allaaha when in the accusative or Allaahi when in the genitive and dative cases, respectively. The Qur’an stresses that in this world our disputes are to be arbitrated through the use of reason and the sense of justice. The sense of justice is usually derived by an individual or a nation from the concept of God they believe in. The Day of Resurrection is one of the pivotal concepts in the preachings of Muhammad and is widely mentioned in the Qur’an. Muhammad was often queried about such a day. The statements one finds in the Qur’an regarding fighting are neither pacifist nor aggressive, but are defensive and reciprocal.
