What is the Quran?
The Quran is
a record of the exact words revealed by God through the
Angel Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad. It was memorized
by Muhammad and then dictated to his Companions, and
written down by scribes, who cross-checked it during his
lifetime. Not one word of its 114 chapters, Suras, has
been changed over the centuries, so that the Quran is in
every detail the unique and miraculous text which was
revealed to Muhammad fourteen centuries ago.
What is the Quran about?
The Quran,
the last revealed Word of God, is the prime source of
every Muslim's faith and practice. It deals with all the
subjects which concern us as human beings: wisdom,
doctrine, worship, and law, but its basic theme is the
relationship between God and His creatures. At the same
time it provides guidelines for a just society, proper
human conduct and an equitable economic system.
