What is the Quran?
The Quran is the Book of Allaah, which He chose tobe the Final of the
Heavenly Books. He, the Merciful and Most High, revealed it to Prophet
Muhammadas the source for the Last Religion and a guidance for
mankind. Its revelation was a turning point for humanity; it was the
power that changed the world, shifted the flow of history, saved and
reformed humanity, so much so that the entire existence appeared as if
it had been recreated anew.
The Quran is the strongest evidence in support of Prophet Muhammadand
his greatest sign. It is the proof of his prophethoodand
trustworthiness. Allaah, the Most Exalted, Says in the Quran (what
means):"They (unbelievers) want to extinguish Allaah's light with
their mouths. But Allaah willperfect His light, even though
theunbelievers may detest it. It is He who has sent His Messenger with
guidance and the Religion of Truth, so that he may exalt it over all
religions, much as the pagans may dislike it."[Quran 61:8-9]
The Quran is the guidance that mankind needs to achieve freedom,
happiness and success, in this life and the next.
The Quran is a complete and comprehensive Book. It deals with the
issues man needs, not only for salvation in the Hereafter, but also to
achieve peace, justice and prosperity in this world. These issues are
discussed in the Quran in three main categories: Theology, Fables and
Wisdom, Islamic Law (or Sharee'ah). Thus, it provides the basic
principles, vision and knowledge necessary for planning and leading a
good life. All this is packaged in a very comprehensive approachto
living that combines the pursuit of worldly affairs as well as those
of the Hereafter. Allaah Almighty Says in the Quran (what means):"And
seek by the wealth provided for you by Allaah the eternal abode (the
Hereafter) but do not forget and (and forsake) your share of this
world. Be kind and good (to others) just as Allaah was kind and good
to you. And desire not corruption in the land. Indeed, Allaah does not
like corrupters."[Quran 28:77]
The Quran has an inimitable style and format that has never been seen
or experienced in any other book or methodology. The richness of its
text and the discourse it offers are unprecedentedand unmatched in
their eloquence, proficiency, fluency, conformance and harmony. Not
only is the Quran a linguistic masterpiece and magnum opus par
excellence, it is indeed a miracle in the fullest sense of the word.
Those reciting it never become weary of it and those who ponder upon
its meanings do not doubt it; rather, they always discover fresh
insights and knowledge. It guidesthose seeking guidance and increases
those who believe in it in faith. Its first parts resemble its latter
parts and it can only be likened to itself in its unparalleled beauty.
The Quran is free from contradictions and those who understand the
Arabic language and contemplate upon its chapters and verses will find
harmony between its various parts. Allaah, the Most High, Says
(whatmeans): "Why do not they contemplate the Quran? And if it were
from other than Allaah, they would have found in it numerous
discrepancies."[Quran 4:82] Indeed, every time the disbelievers tried
to raiseissues of contradictions in the Quran, Muslim scholars proved
beyond doubt that no part of the Quran belies or contradicts another.
The reason is that what may appear as a 'contradiction' in the Quran
is actually what the Quran calls Muhkam (clear) and Mutashaabih
(unclear) verse. This is actually a part of the Quran's textual
strength and miraculous composition.
The Quran restores soul calmness
The Islamic Medical Sciences Organization declared the striking
results of a study conducted by Dr. Ahmad Al-Qaadhi over a group
ofvolunteers fromUSAwho were subject to a recitation of the Holy
Quran. A trace of a tranquilizing effect was recorded at a whole rate
of 97%. Although many of these volunteers do not know Arabic, yet
involuntary physiologicalchanges that led notably to alleviate the
acuity of tension they had before were observed in their nervous
systems.
Furthermore, an experiment of EEG duringQuran rehearsal revealed that
while listening to Quran, the encephalic waves moved from the fast
pattern of vigilance (12-13) wave/ second to the slow pattern (8-18)
wave/ second; indicating the state of deep calmness. Non-Arabic
speaking persons felt reassured, quiet, and complacent during the
process of listening to Quranic verses, in spite oftheir inability to
understand the meanings. This is one of the miracles of the Holy
Quran.
The Prophetrevealed that miracle when saying;
"No people assembled in one of the houses of Allaah (mosques), and
recite and study the Book of Allaah (among themselves), except that
tranquility would prevail over them, mercy would encompass them, the
angels would surround them, and Allaahwould make a mention of them in
the presence of those near Him(angels)."[Muslim]
