1. Social Impact of Qur’an and Hadith and how can it change the society? Islam is the only religion which actually provides a whole outline to spend life. The religion of Islam is superior to any other in that it guarantees happiness in man's life. For Muslims, Islam is a belief system with moral and practical laws that have their source in the Qur'an. God, may He be exalted, says, "Indeed this Qur'an guides to the path which is clearer and straighter than any other" [XVII: 9]. He also says, "We have revealed to you the book which clarifies every matter" [XVI: 89]. Islam teaches moral virtues and a general legal system governing all aspects of human behaviors. Qur'an provides a comprehensive program of activity for man's life. Any action undertaken by man, whether it be eating, sleeping or walking, occupies its own specific place and demands its own particular efforts. Yet an action is implemented according to an inherent law, the general concept of which is stored in man's perception and is recalled by motions associated with that action. This notion holds true whether or not one is obliged to undertake the action or whether or not the circumstances are favorable. By practicing Islam and the preaching of Qur’an we can develop an ideal society. Every man, in respect of his own actions, is as the state in relation to its individual citizens, whose activity is controlled by specific laws, customs and behavior. Just as the active forces in a state are obliged to adapt their actions according to certain laws, so is the social activity of a community composed of the actions of each individual. If this were not the case, the different components of society would fall apart and be destroyed in anarchy in the shortest time imaginable.
