Two pivotal observations ignited this book—which now seeks to ignite a total reformative movement.

First, the universe operates with mathematical precision, governed by flawless natural laws. The same Creator delivered a sacred, linguistically perfect text—the Qur’an—as guidance for all humanity. Yet 1,447 years later, societal chaos suggests a catastrophic failure: we’ve treated the Qur’an as a museum relic rather than a living blueprint.

Second, the Qur’an unfolds its wisdom progressively, aligning with each generation’s capacity to comprehend it. Modern scholars celebrate its “miracles” only after science validates them—like tracing a map’s route only upon reaching the destination. This confirms the Qur’an’s divine origin but exposes our intellectual laziness: we prioritize retroactive validation over proactive revelation.

But the spark for this book came from a verse that shattered my complacency. In Surah Ṣād, verse 67, God declares:

“Say, it is a Great Revelation—you [humankind] are turning away from!”

(Quran 38:67–68)

That word — “heedless” or مُعْرِضُونَ — struck me like a verdict. Here was the Creator, naming a revelation He called “great” (نَبَأٌ عَظِيمٌ), yet accusing us of willful neglect. What could this revelation be? Why had we ignored it?

The verse thrust me into the unseen scene it hints at: the angels’ bewilderment over God’s plan, the cosmic significance of Adam’s succession, and the Creator’s patience with our blindness. If God labeled something “great” yet saw us ignoring it, He was effectively issuing a challenge—one I couldn’t refuse.

This became my life’s work. If the Qur’an is flawless (as I believed), then our ignorance of this “Great Revelation” wasn’t incidental—it was the symptom of a deeper failure in interpretation. As a Western-educated Arab, I realized we’d spent centuries proving the Qur’an’s authenticity while neglecting the very truths it begged us to uncover.

This book confronts humanity’s most dangerous crisis—a crisis misattributed to Islam but rooted in our refusal to see what God placed in plain sight. The theories herein will challenge conventions, but they emerge directly from the Qur’an’s Arabic verses, beginning with that neglected command in Surah Ṣād.

The conclusions in this book rest on the Qur’an’s own terms—not tradition or guesswork. For those who demand proof, Chapter 5 (Umm al-Kitāb) will reveal God’s overlooked key to deciphering His message, a key that transforms how we read every verse.

But first, let us confront the Great Revelation He said we’ve ignored—and why its neglect has deservedly kept humanity groping in the dark—until now.

To Scholars of Islam and Arabic:

The Qur’an’s challenge— “Then bring a surah like it” (فَأْتُوا بِسُورَةٍ مِّثْلِهِ — Quran 2:23, 10:38, 11:13)—was never about replicating its 7th-century context, but about matching its timeless capacity to answer humanity’s evolving questions.

Scrutinize these findings. If the Qur’an is truly “a guidance for all people” (هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ — Quran 2:185), its greatest truths should thrive—not hide—under scrutiny.
