The
Qur'an ("Qor-Ann") is a Message from Allah (swt) to humanity. It was
transmitted to us in a chain starting from the Almighty Himself (swt) to
the angel Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad (saw). This message was given
to the Prophet (saw) in pieces over a period spanning approximately 23
years (610 CE to 632 CE). The Prophet (saw) 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.
The
Qur'an is one of the two sources which form the basis of Islam. The
second source is the Sunnah of the Prophet (saw). 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 (swt), whereas the Sunnah was
inspired by Allah but the wording and actions are the Prophet's (saw).
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 (saw) was the final Messenger of Allah to humanity, and
therefore the Qur'an is the last Message which Allah (swt) 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been superseded.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 (swt) 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 Muhammad (saw) 1400 years ago.
