A questioner asks: What is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh, of this statement: "The general purpose of the revelation of the Qur'an is to guide creation, reform humanity, and cultivate the earth"?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. All of this is intended by the Qur'an: cultivating the earth for good and assisting Muslims through agriculture. All of this is among the objectives of the Noble Qur'an.[Al-Mulk 67:15][Al-An'am 6:141], meaning planting. Allah commanded planting and tilling, and He commanded trade, and He commanded good earnings, so that a person may be self-sufficient and not need people, and so that the economy among Muslims may be active.
