The Quran
"Alif Laam Raa. A book which we have revealed to
you (Muhammad) so that you may lead the people
from out of the darkness into the light by their
Lord's leave to the path of the All-Mighty, the
Praiseworthy." Qur'an 141
  • The Qur'an is a collection of holy scriptures of
    Islam. It is divided into 114 Suras (chapters) of
    unequal length. The earliest Meccan suras are
    shorter, and they become longer as time goes on.
    The earliest suras are more similar to the Jewish
    style of admonishing people to reform and warning
    them of coming judgment. All suras are supposed
    to represent material dictated to Muhammad from
    God through the angel Gabriel. The Qur'an is thus
    believed to be the direct Word of God and must be
    obeyed without question.
  • The word Qur'an means "recitation," representing
    the fact that it is a verbally revealed set of
    scriptures. A few things are emphasized in the
    Qur'an, including strict monotheism, the duty of
    all believers to take care of those less
    fortunate, daily prayer, purification through
    fasting, and making a pilgrimage to Mecca. These
    five items make up the "Five Pillars" of Muslim
    faith.
  • While the Qur'an is regarded as the Word of God,
    it is strangely evolutionary. Evidently, God
    wasn't interested in handing down a single
    instruction and leaving it at that, instead, God
    changed his instructions over time. This shows
    that the Qur'an is greatly concerned with how
    people live their lives. It is not just a matter
    of moral law, but a person's daily routine.
