The Quran is the heart of Islam, considered by Muslims to be the literal word of God (Allah), revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) over 23 years through the angel Jibril (Gabriel). It is not just a religious text but a comprehensive guide for all aspects of life—spiritual, moral, social, and legal. The Quran is known for its unmatched eloquence, its depth of meaning, and its ability to remain relevant in every era. It consists of 114 chapters (Surahs) that vary in length and address a wide range of topics including faith, the nature of God, humanity’s purpose, guidance for personal conduct, and laws for governing society. Muslims believe the Quran to be the final revelation, superseding all previous scriptures.
The Quran’s impact extends beyond its religious significance. It has been the subject of extensive study, memorization, and recitation for over 1,400 years. The Quran's recitation (Tajweed) is an art form in itself, and the text’s rhythmic and poetic beauty continues to captivate listeners worldwide. Every verse (Ayah) is viewed as an invitation to reflect and engage deeply with the divine message. Muslims consider it essential not only to read the Quran but also to understand and apply its teachings in daily life. The Quran is recited in prayers, studied in schools, and serves as a source of comfort, inspiration, and legal reference for millions of people.
