Ali Ibn Abi Talib (Radhi Allahu Anhu) on the Qur'an

Ali Ibn Abi Talib (Radhi Allahu Anhu) said (regarding the Qur'an):

“In the Book of Allah there are stories of those who came before you, foretelling what will happen after you and rulings on issues between you. It is serious and not in jest. Whoever among the tyrants neglects it, Allah will destroy him, whoever seeks guidance in anything else, Allah will send him astray. It is a strong rope, the wise reminder, the Straight Path. It is the Book that whims and desires cannot distort and tongues cannot mispronounce. Its wonders never end, and the scholars never tire of it. Whoever quotes it speaks the truth, whoever acts upon it will be rewarded, whoever judges according to it will be just, and whoever calls people to it, will be guided to a Straight Path.”
