QUR'AN



Qur'an

The Qur'an which translates as “recitation”, is the holy book of Islam and regarded by Muslims as the exact word of God (Allah) that has been revealed to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ through Angel Gabriel(A.S). The Holy Qur'an is a source of Islamic theology, law, morals teachings, ethics, and guidance.


Key facts

  • Language: Classical Arabic

  • Revelation period: The Quran was revealed between 610 and 632 CE.

  • Total Number of Surahs (chapters): 114; more than 6000 verses (ayat)

  • Main themes: Monotheism, guidance, morality, life after death, and legislation

  • Compilation: The Quran was compiled into a complete book around 650 AD during the reign of  Khalifa Usman  رضی اللہ عنہ (may Allah be pleased with him).

Revelation and compilation

The Quran was revealed over a period of 23 years during the prophethood of Muhammad. Its initial collection included memorization and recording, or writing, by Muhammad's followers. The scattered fragments were then collected during the reign of Khalifa Usman  رضی اللہ عنہ to produce a definitive Quran, which served as the basis for all future books.

 Content and Structure

The Quran has 114 surahs. Each surah contains several verses. Meccan surahs focus on faith and the oneness of Allah, while Medinan surahs focus more on social and legal matters. The first surah of the Quran is Al-Fatihah, which contains a short prayer.

Language and recitation

The Qur’an is in Arabic, and Muslims believe its language is unique and cannot be matched. Reciting the Qur’an with proper pronunciation (tajweed) is very important for worship. Memorizing the Full  Qur’an (Hifz) is also considered a great achievement in Islam.

Impact and Importance

The Qur’an guides the laws, values, and thinking of Islamic society. It is used in daily prayers, inspires Islamic art and calligraphy, and forms the basis of Islamic law (Shariah).

The Qur’an has been translated into many languages so people around the world can understand it. Even non-Muslims read the Qur’an and are positively influenced by it.Even non-Muslims read the Qur’an and gain guidance, knowledge, and a better understanding of Islam from it.

For example:A non-Muslim People may read the Qur’an and learn to be kind, honest, and helpful to others. and one more example in my mind: Before Islam, people did not have clear rules about marriage. Islam clearly explained which relationships are allowed and which are not. Today many societies follow similar rules, showing its positive impact.

 However it is still read in Arabic for worship.
