kyunke main aksar kaha karta hoon ke quran ek aisi kitaab hai, is ka author, jis ka author jo hai, consult karne ke liye har waqt available hai. author se consult karna kehti hai bari baat hai ke author sab se acha baat batayega. to quran mein hai ke: "waza saluk abadi ani fini qareeb". to Allah taala qareeb hai, matlab quran ka author tumhare qareeb maujood hai. jab chaho us se consult karo.
