The Quran

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the Worlds—the One who revealed the Qur’an as a mercy, a guidance, and a light for all creation.

We send peace and blessings upon the final Messenger, our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, through whom the final revelation was delivered—a source of clarity, healing, and truth for all who seek it.

The Qur’an is not the word of man, nor the product of time. It is the eternal speech (kalam) of Allah—uncreated, perfect, and preserved from all falsehood. It is not bound by the limits of era or intellect, for it is from the One who transcends time and place. As such, it remains as relevant and miraculous today as it was when it was first revealed, 1400 years ago.

It was sent down to His chosen servant, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, to bring people out of darkness into light, from shirk (associating partners with Allah) to tawheed (the oneness of Allah), from kufr (disbelief) to iman (faith). With it, Allah sealed all previous revelations, making the Qur’an the final, preserved message for all of humanity until the end of time.

The Qur’an corrected misguidance, clarified truth, and reconnected creation with their Creator. It is Allah’s proof (hujjah) upon His creation, and His message to all mankind and jinn. It contains the foundations of belief (‘aqeedah), divine laws (shari’ah), timeless stories of those who came before and those to come, a lessons for every soul. Its verses supported the Prophet ﷺ and served as guidance for every moment of his mission.

Allah has promised to protect the Qur’an from alteration or loss. He says:

“Indeed, it is We who have sent down the Reminder, and indeed, We will surely guard it.” – Qur’an: Surah al-Hijr 15:9

The Qur’an is not only guidance; it is an act of worship. Reciting it, understanding it, reflecting on its meanings, and implementing its teachings bring a believer closer to Allah. It strengthens faith, improves character, and refines the soul – moulding the personality of a true Muslim.

Modern scientific discoveries have only recently begun to uncover truths that were already mentioned in the Qur’an over 1,400 years ago. These scientific miracles are signs for those who reflect, drawing scientists and seekers of knowledge toward belief and submission.

The Qur’an was sent first to al-Lawh al-Mahfudh (the Preserved Tablet), then to Bayt al-‘Izzah in the lowest heaven (Sama’ ad-Dunya), and finally revealed gradually to the Prophet ﷺ through the Angel Jibril— in response to various circumstances and events.

Its central message is a balance between fear of Allah and His punishment and hope in His mercy and reward.

The Qur’an has rights over us: to be recited, understood, pondered upon, and obeyed. Through it, a Muslim builds noble character: truthfulness, humility, mercy, justice, trustworthiness—traits that enable them to lead and guide society by example. It instils a deep awareness that Allah sees every action, hears every word, and knows every thought and intention.

And if one seeks to understand the embodiment of the Qur’an in human form, look no further than the life of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

When asked about his character, Aisha (رضي الله عنها) replied: “His character was the Qur’an.” – Source: (Sahih Muslim)

In him ﷺ, the Qur’an was lived, walked, and breathed. He was the living Qur’an—its perfect implementation and example for all of humanity.
