1. What is the Quran?
The Holy Quran is the speech of Allah, revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through the Angel Gabriel over a period of approximately 23 years. It is the final and definitive revelation sent to humanity, confirming previous scriptures and providing a complete law for mankind.
2. A Miracle for All Time
The Quran is unique in its linguistic beauty, scientific accuracy, and preservation. For over 1,400 years, not a single letter of the original Arabic text has been changed. It remains the most memorized book in the world, recited daily by millions in their prayers.
3. Structure and Themes
The Quran consists of 114 Surahs (chapters) of varying lengths. Its primary themes include the oneness of God, the stories of previous prophets, moral conduct, social justice, and descriptions of the afterlife. It serves as:
- Guidance (Huda): A roadmap for living a righteous life.
- Criterion (Furqan): A standard to distinguish between right and wrong.
- Healing (Shifa): Spiritual and emotional peace for the heart.
