Therefore, Qur an asks from humans to read it and consider on it in a serious way.There is no doubt that the holy scripture of Qur an has been the source of inspiration for all ideologies. Understanding the Qur an, which is qualified God s promise of protection until the Day of Judgment, is firstly one of the important tasks of those who are in conversation with it. Qur an considers man as a whole. Because of that, it is a kind of necessity to assess the principles and explanation of Qur an with a holistic view. A better understanding of a message that is contained in a verse may be possible by taking into consideration the context of the other verses.
