Which statement about the Qur'an is not true?

• A. It is the holy book of Islam.
• B. It describes Allah as the one God who is merciful.
• C. It describes prophets and guidance for life.
• D. It describes Allah as a strict, distant, and unresponsive god.

Answer: (D)

The Qur’an presents Allah as the one God who is merciful, near, and responsive to people. It emphasizes mercy and compassion (God is described with names like the Merciful and the Compassionate), and it teaches that God is close to humans and aware of their prayers, guiding them through prophets and revealed guidance. The statement describing Allah as a strict, distant, and unresponsive god contradicts this portrayal, so it isn’t true. The other points align with the Qur’an being the holy book of Islam, presenting the belief in a single merciful God and providing guidance for life through prophets.
