Quran The
Qur'an is a message from Allah to humanity. It
was transmitted to us in a chain starting from the Almighty
Himself to the angel Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace
Be Upon Him). This message was given to the Prophet (Peace
Be Upon Him) in pieces over a period spanning approximately
23 years (610 CE to 632 CE). The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him)
was 40 years old when the Qur'an began to be revealed to
him, and he was 63 when the revelation was completed. The
language of the original message was Arabic, but it has been
translated into many other languages. CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO

Dutch, Indonesian, Malaysian, Turkish and Urdu translations.The Qur'an is one of the two sources which form the basis of Islam. The second source is the Sunnah of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him). What makes the Qur'an different from the Sunnah is primarily its form. Unlike the Sunnah, the Qur'an is literally the Word of Allah, whereas the Sunnah was inspired by Allah but the wording and actions are the Prophet's. The Qur'an has not been expressed using any human's words. Its wording is letter for letter fixed by no one but Allah. Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) was the final Messenger of Allah to humanity, and therefore the Qur'an is the last Message which Allah has sent to us. Its predecessors such as the Torah, Psalms, and Gospels have all been superseded. It is an obligation - and blessing - for all who hear of the Qur'an and Islam to investigate it and evaluate it for themselves. Allah has guaranteed that He will protect the Qur'an from human tampering, and today's readers can find exact copies of it all over the world. The Qur'an of today is the same as the Qur'an revealed to Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) 1400 years ago.
