Quran
Quran: Holy Book of God Almighty
The Quran (القرآن), is the book revealed by God (الله, Allah) to his last prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Quran is the most popular and enthusiastically recited by millions of people around the world. Quran was verbally revealed through the angel Jibrīl (Gabriel) from God to Muhammad (PBUH) gradually over a period of approximately twenty-three years beginning in 610 CE.
Quran is indeed the major miracle of prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It not only tells the past history of mankind from first man on earth but also advises how we can make our lives to the will of God to become successful in this life and the life to come.
Magnificent Characteristics of Quran
Allah has described the Noble Quran with a number of magnificent characteristics of which Ibn Qudamah mentioned eight in points 27 - 30 of Lum'atul-I'tiqad.
- That it is clear (mubin) and makes clear the laws and reports which it contains
- That it is Allah's firm rope (Hablullah), that is, it is the solid contract which All0ah made a reason for reaching Himself and the attainment of success by His Grace.
- That it consists of distinct chapters (muhkamat), each distinct from the other, perfected and preserved from any flaws or contradictions.
- That it consists of clear verses (ayat bayyinat) which are clear and obvious signs indicating Allah's unique unity, the perfection of His attributes, and the goodness of His laws.
- That it contains clear and obscure verses (ayat muhkamat wa mutashabihat); the clear being that whose meaning is clear and the obscure being those whose meaning is hidden. And this does not contradict point number three above because the clarity there refers to perfection and protection from flaws and contradiction, while here it refers to clarity of meaning. If the obscure is referred back to the clear, all of it will become clear.
- That it is the truth (haqq) that cannot be affected by falsehood from any direction.
- That it is free from its description by the disbelievers as being poetry, magic or human speech.
- That it is a miracle that no one can imitate even with the help of others.
