Introduction of Quran: The only Infinitely Reliable Book

"This is the Book, within this is no suspicious matter/statement; this is guide for righteous people" {Refer 2:02}
رَيْبَ Root: رىب
The basic concept infolded in this Root is the suspicious state of mind about something. It reflects a state of perception when one is double minded about the exact nature, probability or likelihood of a thing; it refers when someone doubts the truth or validity of something/statement/ fact. It refers to a confused/perplexed state which causes disquiet, disturbance and agitation of mind.

رَيْبَ is not the synonym {مرادف} of "شَكٍّ" which means doubt reflecting uncertain or unconvinced feeling/state of mind about something or to suspect that somebody is not sincere or trustworthy. It only reflects uncertainty or mistrust but it may or may not be coupled with disquiet, disturbance and agitation of mind. But in the state of رَيْبَ there is a feeling of uneasiness and disquiet since the man is double minded/confused about a thing. In the case of شَكٍّ one is tending not to believe or accept but to question about things, i.e. one is skeptical. رَيْبَ could be the consequence of شَكٍّ but شَكٍّ is not the consequence of رَيْبَ.

رَيْبَ could be present in a statement, information, news or a book or someone may feel suspicious even without there being any cause or substance which could create doubt. For in-depth study and to comprehensively conceive the concept infolded in the Root " رىب ", let us find the prominent " رَيْبَ" {suspicions; misconceptions} of people as highlighted in the Grand Quran:

Grand Quran has been introduced as a Book. A Book contains written material; giving information, data, physical facts, narration of facts, events and conduct of the past/generations; knowledge; injunctions/ instructions; procedural code, prescription of lawful and unlawful matter or conduct; segregates or demarcates one thing from another, describes the relationship of things and elaborates the cause and effect of events/rise and fall; and it serves as a Guide giving permanent values and the road map for those seeking the destination. .....MORE
