The Qur’an
“Qor-Ann” is a Message from Allah to humanity. It was transmitted to us
in a chain starting from the Almighty Himself (swt) to the angel
Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad (saas). This message was given to the
Prophet (saas) in pieces over a period spanning approximately 23 years
(610 CE to 622 CE). The Prophet (saas) 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 leg of two which form the basis of
Islam. The second leg is the Sunnah of the Prophet (saas). What makes
the Qur’an different from the Sunnah is primarily its form. Unlike the
Sunnah, the Qur’an is quite 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 (saas) 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Gospels have all been superceded. 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 Muhammad (saas).
Note that any translation of the Qur’an immediately
ceases to be the literal word of Allah, and hence cannot be equated
with the Qur’an in its original Arabic form. In fact, each of the
translations is actually an interpretation which has been translated.
The first-time reader is strongly advised to read the introduction to
the translations if made available.
