What is the Qur’an?

The Qur’an is the last book sent by the Lord of the worlds. Muslims believe in all the Books sent before the Qur’an, i.e., the Scriptures of Abraham, the Psalms, the Torah, the Gospel, etc. Muslims believe that the true message conveyed by all the Books was pure monotheism, i.e., having belief in Allah and worshiping Him alone. However, the Qur’an, unlike the previous heavenly books, was not sent exclusively to a certain category or group, and it does not have various versions, and it has not been changed; rather, it is one copy for all Muslims. The text of the Qur’an is still in its original language, the Arabic language, and it has not undergone any change, distortion, or replacement. It has still been preserved in its original form until now and it will remain so, as the Lord of the worlds has promised to preserve it. It is available among all Muslims and is memorized by many of them. The current translations of the Qur’an in various languages, which are widely spread among people, are nothing but the mere translation of the meanings of the Qur’an. The Lord of the worlds has challenged the Arabs and non-Arabs to bring the like of this Qur’an, knowing that the Arabs at that time were the masters of eloquence, rhetoric, and poetry; however, they were certain that this Qur’an could come from none but Allah. This has been a standing challenge for over fourteen centuries, and none has been able to rise to it, and this is one of the greatest proofs that it is from Allah.
