QUR'AN
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance and reflection. So, is there anyone who will take heed? (Qur'an 54:17)
What is the Qur'an?
The Qurʾān is the Word of Allah, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ through the Angel Jibrīl (Gabriel). The Prophet ﷺ recited its verses to his companions, who committed them to memory and recorded them in writing. The Qurʾān was thus preserved through both memorization and written transmission, with the written records checked against the Prophet’s recitation during his lifetime.
The Qurʾān consists of 114 chapters (sūrahs) and has been preserved in its original Arabic form since its revelation more than fourteen centuries ago. Muslims regard it as the unique and miraculous revelation of Allah and the final scripture revealed for the guidance of humanity.
The Qurʾān is the final revelation from Allah and the primary source of guidance for Muslims in matters of faith and practice. It addresses the fundamental questions of human existence and provides guidance for every dimension of life—including faith, worship, morality, wisdom, law, and human relationships.
At its heart is the relationship between Allah and His creation: knowing Him, worshipping Him, remembering Him, obeying His guidance, and living a life of purpose and responsibility. The Qurʾān also calls humanity to justice, righteousness, compassion, mercy, social responsibility, and the pursuit of a just and equitable society.
The Qurʾān is not merely a book to be read or recited. It invites us to understand, reflect, remember, and act. Its guidance is meant to transform both the individual and the community, bringing faith into how we think, worship, treat others, and live our lives.
