QUR’AAN Al KAREEM
"Recite: In the name of your Lord Who created man from a clot (of blood).
Recite: Your Lord is Most Noble, Who taught by the pen, taught man what he did not know."
[Qu’raan]
The Holy Qur'an is the Book and speech,word of Allaah Almighty that was sent down for all human beings ages, and times. This is the Divine law which has been permanently enforced for all, till the end of time (Doomsday). The Qur'an, 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 [Allaah Almighty] and His creatures. At the same time, it provides guidelines for a just society, proper human conduct and an equitable economic system.
The Holy Qur'an was gradually revealed to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (may Allaah's choicest blessings and peace be upon him) in a span of twenty three years and it is as intact, preserved, prevalent and is being recited and committed to hearts and influencing minds as was taught by the Holy Prophet 1400 years ago.
Its different chapters and verses are recited at least five times daily all over the world.
This sacred book is available with every nation and community and recited by millions of people all over the world.
Allaah Almighty has revealed books to some Messengers which are "Kalaam Allaah"(speech of Allaah). Muslims accept the original unaltered Toraah (the Gospel of Moses Prophet Moosaa (peace be upon him),) and the original Bible (the Gospel of Jesus Prophet Eeesaa (peace be upon him),) since they were revealed by Allaah [God].
However, none of those original scriptures are in existence today, in their entirety. Therefore, Muslims follow the subsequent, final, and preserved revelation of God, the Holy Qur'aan. Belief in all the revealed books and in their contents is essential.
Of all the revealed books, the Glorious Qur’an which was gifted to the Beloved Prophet Muhammad [Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam]is the best and Allaah Almighty Himself has taken up the responsibility of its protection.
Actual seventh century Qur'aans, complete and intact, are on display in museums in Turkey and many other places around the world. If all Qur'ans in the world today were burned and destroyed, the original Arabic would still remain. This is because millions of Muslims, called Hafiz (or "preservers") have memorized the text letter for letter from beginning to end, every word and syllable. Also, chapters from the Qur'an are precisely recited from memory by every Muslim in each of the five daily prayers.
