Please forgive us for any disturbance, but we have an important
subject
to address to you regarding FAITH, and we Don't intend to overload
your email with unnecessary messages...
What is the Quraan?
It is the final revelation of the will of Almighty God's to all of
mankind, which was conveyed through the Angel Gabriel, in Arabic, to
the Prophet Muhammad in its sounds, words and meanings.
The Qur'aan, sometimes spelled Koran, was relayed to the Prophet's
companions, which they memorised verbatim, and which has been
publicly and continually recited by them and their successors until
the present day. In short, the Qur'aan is the book of guidance from
God par excellence. The Qur'aan is still memorised and taught by
millions of people.
The language of the Qur'aan, Arabic, is still a living language to
millions of people, so unlike the scriptures of other religions, the
Qur'aan is still read in its original language by countless millions
of people. The Qu'raan is a living miracle in the Arabic language;
and is known to be inimitable in its style, form and spiritual
impact. God's final revelation to mankind, the Qur'aan, was revealed
to the Prophet Muhammad over a period of 23 years. The Qur'aan, in
contrast to many other religious books, was always thought to be the
Word of God by those who believed in it, i.e. it wasn't something
decreed by a religious council many years after being written. Also,
the Qu'raan was recited publicly in front of both the Muslim and non-
Muslim communities during the life of the Prophet Muhammad.
The entire Qur'aan was completely written down in the lifetime of the
Prophet, and numerous companions of the Prophet memorised the entire
Qur'aan word-for-word as it was revealed. So unlike other scriptures,
the Qur'aan was always in the hands of the common believers, it was
always thought to be God's word and, due to wide-spread memorisation,
it was perfectly preserved.
In regards to the teachings of the Qur'aan - it is a universal
scripture, and it is addressed to all of mankind, and not to a
particular tribe or "chosen people". The message that it brings is
nothing new, but the same message of all of the prophets - submit to
Almighty God and worship Him alone. As such, God's revelation in the
Qur'aan focuses on teaching human beings the importance of believing
in the Unity of God and framing their lives around the guidance which
He has sent. Additionally, the Qur'aan contains the stories of the
previous prophets, such as Abraham, Noah, Moses and Jesus; as well as
many commands and prohibitions from God. In modern times in which so
many people are caught up in doubt, spiritual despair and "political
correctness", the Qur'aanic teachings offer solutions to the
emptiness of our lives and the turmoil that is gripping the world
today.
