The Holy Qur’an and its message:

The Qur’an is a record of the exact words revealed by God through the Angel Gabriel to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

It was implanted into the heart of the Prophet who then dictated to his Companions who, in turn, also memorized the texts which were written down by scribes and cross-checked during his lifetime.
Not one word of its 114 chapters (Sura), has been changed over the last 14 centuries.

The Qur’an, the last revealed Word of God, is the prime source of every Muslim’s faith and practice.
It deals with all the subjects which concern humankind: wisdom, worship, family and law. But its basic theme is the relationship between God and His creatures.

At the same time it provides guidelines for a just society, proper human conduct and an equitable economic system.

The Qur’an was revealed over a period of 23 years and compiled into a book after the death of the Prophet.
It was a carefully and patiently revealed message which comprehensively covers every aspect of human society.

Quotes from the Holy Qur’an:

Call of Islam:
"Say: O’ You people! Now truth has reached you from your Lord! Those who receive guidance, do so for the good of their own souls; those who stray, do so to their own loss: and I am not (set) over you to arrange your affairs" (10:108).

Patience & reliance on God:
"Follow the inspiration sent to you, and be patient and constant, till Allah decides: for He is the Best to decide" (10:108-109).
"Only those who are patient will receive their reward in full without reckoning" (39:10).

Enjoining good & forbidding evil:
"(They are) those who, if we establish them in the land, establish regular prayer and give regular charity, enjoin the right and forbid wrong: with Allah rests the end (and decision) of (all) affairs." (22:41).
"Help one another in noble actions and pious duty. Help not one another in sin and transgression" (5:2).

Social obligations:
"Worship none save Allah (only), and be good to parents and to kindred and to orphans and the needy, and speak kindly to mankind, and observe prayer and pay the Zakat (tax for the poor)" (2:83).

Justice & fairness:
"Give full measure when you measure, and weigh out with a right balance and justice" (17:35).
"O you who believe! Be you staunch in observing justice, and bear witness for Allah, even though it be against yourselves or your parents or your kindred. Whether the person be rich or poor, in either case Allah is nearer to both. So follow not vain desires lest you lapse (from truth) and if you lapse or fall away, then verily, Allah is ever aware of what you do" (4:135).

Brotherhood of mankind:
"O Mankind! Verily, We have created you from a single pair of a male and a female, and have made you nations and tribes that you may know one another. But verily the noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. Verily Allah is Knower, Aware" (49:13).

Relations with Christians & Jews:
"O People of the Book (Christians and Jews)! Come to common terms as between us and you that we worship none but Allah, that we associate no partner with Him, that we raise not from among ourselves Lords and patrons other than Allah" (3:64).
