The study of all life aspects contained in the Qur'an is Hudan (guidance), and it is the most complete guide for all humans in the world. The authenticity of the Qur'an and language style has been unrivaled throughout the ages, and it strengthens the perfection of Islamic teachings, which is universal as Rahmatan Lil' ālamīn. As time goes by, Islam has significantly contributed to the history of human civilization. History also records areas where great civilizations have emerged. There are relics of high Islamic culture, admired and recognized, including in the European region, definitely cannot be separated from the contribution of the struggle of Muslim leaders who are highly dedicated and persistent in spreading Islamic teachings.
