What Is the Quran About?
The
Quran, the last
revealed word of God, is the primary source of every MuslimÂ?s faith and
practice. It deals with all the subjects which concern human beings: wisdom,
doctrine, worship, transactions, law, etc., but its basic theme is the
relationship between God and His creatures. At the same time, it provides
guidelines and detailed teachings for a just society, proper human conduct,
and an equitable economic system.
Note that the Quran was revealed to Muhammad in Arabic only. So, any Quranic
translation, either in English or any other language, is neither a Quran, nor
a version of the Quran, but rather it is only a translation of the meaning of
the Quran. The Quran exists only in the Arabic in which it was revealed.
Why is the Qur'an a
miracle ?
The Quran is an untouchable book : After 1400 years,
from the begining of Prophet Muhammad's, peace be upon him, message, the
Qu'ran has not changed in any way, even as a matter of one charachter.
Prooving this is very easy, since you can compare all the versions of the
Qu'ran everywhere in the world and you will find them all the same. God
ensured that this book would be saved from any changes attempted by human
beings. God said in the Qur'an : " We have, without doubt, sent down the
Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption)"
The
Qu'ran contains many scientific facts that have been discovered recently using
computer systems and microscopes. Many scientists have attended conferences
dealing with this subject and have themselves accepted Islam. These same
scientists have said that it is not possible that Muhammad, peace be upon him,
an illiterate man, who lived 1400 years ago, could have discovered such things
on his own. God said in the Qur'an : "Soon will We show them Our Signs in the
(furthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomes
manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that thy Lord doth
witness all things" ( Quran 41:53 )
The Qu'ran, which is in Arabic, was revealed to
the people of the Arabian Gulf who invented the Arabic language. Through
Muhammad, peace be upon him, Allah challenged the people who claimed that a
human wrote it to emulate such a book. No one from the time of the Prophet
till now could write a book that contained the many scientific facts, miracles
and similar effects on people that the Qu'ran did and still does today.
The Qu'ran had not one Arabic grammar mistake, which was recognized by the
disbelievers at the time of the Prophet, who were the founders of the Arabic
language.
These are a few examples of why Muslims believe in the
Qur'an.
Here are some
verses from God to Muslims encouraging them to invite the People of the Book (
Jews and Christians to Islam ):
God said : {Say: "O People of the Book! Why reject ye the Signs of Allah, when
Allah is Himself witness to all ye do?} (Quran 3:98)
God tell Muslims to say : {..'We believe in that which had been revealed to us
and revealed to you, and our God and your God is One, and unto Him we
surrender} (Quran 29:46
