Summary: | Muslims consider the Qur'an l as the infallible word of Allah, a perfect transcription of an eternal tablet preserved in the Heaven. It is the record of the verbal revelation vouchsafed by Allah to Prophet Muhammad at intervals over a period of twenty three years, between 610 and 632 CE. As the paramount authority for the Muslim community, and the ultimate source as well as permanent inspiration of Islam, the Qur'an has produced marvelous effect on the minds of those who came into contact with it and brought about an unparalleled revolution in the world and the uplift of many nations from degradations. Throughout the world it is the only religious text which compels its followers to have sincere faith in all other sacred texts along with the prophets, and declares that there should not be any compulsion in religion. The Qur'an, in the clearest possible terms, claims to be the greatest spiritual force which is ultimately destined to bring the whole of humanity to perfection. |
