And it is amazing to note that such queries are often raised by people of other faiths, whose holy scriptures have been translated from the language these scriptures were originally written and spread out to the whole world so that these could be read and understood. Likewise the Holy Qur'an too was revealed in Arabic for it was the language of the people where it was revealed, but this does not mean that its message was only for the Arabs. Today when the Qur'an has been translated into all other languages, it has spread the message which is in universal and commanded for the entire mankind not just the Arabs.
Also the commandments of Allah contained in the Holy Qur'an are as relevant today as these were more than 1400 years when it was revealed. The same way Bible and Old and New Testaments are applicable to the Christians and Jews today as these were applicable to the people of Israel when these were revealed on to Prophets Mus and Eesa (Moses and Jesus, peace be upon them).
Thus the relevance of religion of Islam to our practical life today is oft question. But I wonder why such queries aren't raised for Christians and Jews as they too follow scriptures revealed much earlier than the Holy Qur'an. However, since Arabic language is very rich, specially that of the Holy Qur'an, it is generally recommended that one must learn Arabic to fully grasp the messages and commandments contained in the Holy Qur'an for better and full comprehension.
I came across such a discussion and thought of sharing it with my readers to understand the context clearly. Please listen to an enlightening answer on the subject by Jāvēd Ahmad Ghāmidī, a Pakistani Muslim theologian, Quran scholar, Islamic modernist, exegete and educationist in the video below. Though the conversation is in Urdu, its English translation in subtitles on the screen will help non Urdu peaking to know Professor's view point:
However, as highlighted by the learned scholar in the video above, the reason why we do not find Holy Quran relevant to our practical life is that we have stopped reading and interpreting it like any other disciplines of knowledge, like mathematics, chemistry, physics and others. So let us start learning Quran like any discipline, it will only be then we will start find it relevance t to our lives by understanding it..
