#THE Quran: A Comprehensive overview'''''
#quran #bayan
The *Quran* (also spelled Qur'an) is the **holy book of Islam**, regarded by Muslims as the
#literal word of God (Allah)** revealed to *Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)* over a period of 23 years (610–632 CE) through the Angel *Jibril (Gabriel).* It is written in *classical Arabic* and is considered by Muslims to be *the final and most complete divine revelation**, following previous scriptures such as the **Torah (Tawrat), Psalms (Zabur), and Gospel (Injil).*
#islamicvideo #Meaning and Significance**
The word *"Quran"* comes from the Arabic root *"Qara’a"**, meaning **"to read" or "to recite."* It is meant to be recited, memorized, and understood as a source of *guidance, wisdom, and law.* The Quran is considered the *primary and ultimate source* of Islamic teachings, covering all aspects of life, including faith, morality, law, social justice, and the afterlife.
Muslims believe that the Quran is *miraculous* in its language, structure, and content, with no errors or contradictions. They also believe it is preserved in its *original form* since its revelation and will remain unchanged until the end of time.
#structure and Organization**
The Quran consists of *114 chapters (Surahs)* and *6,236 verses (Ayahs)**. The chapters vary in length, with the longest being **Surah Al-Baqarah (Chapter 2)* and the shortest being *Surah Al-Kawthar (Chapter 108).*
The Quran is divided into *30 equal parts (Juz')* for ease of recitation, especially during **Ramadan**, when Muslims aim to complete its recitation. The chapters are further categorized into:
#Meccan Surahs** (revealed before migration to Medina): Focus on faith, monotheism, the afterlife, and the stories of past prophets.
*Medinan Surahs* (revealed after migration to Medina): Cover laws, social justice, governance, and community life.
#Theme and Teachings**
The Quran addresses a wide range of themes, including:
#Monotheism (Tawhid)**
The Quran emphasizes the absolute *oneness of God (Allah)**. It rejects polytheism and associates no partners with Him. **Surah Al-Ikhlas (112:1-4)* summarizes this concept:
*"Say, He is Allah, [who is] One,
Allah, the Eternal Refuge.
He neither begets nor is born,
Nor is there to Him any equivalent."*
#Prophethood (Risalah)**
The Quran acknowledges many *prophets**, including **Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them all).* Prophet Muhammad is regarded as the *last and final messenger* sent to guide humanity.
#The Afterlife (Akhirah)**
The Quran teaches that life is temporary and that every individual will face *resurrection, judgment, and either paradise (Jannah) or hell (Jahannam)* based on their deeds.
#Guidance for Life**
The Quran provides moral, ethical, and legal guidelines on various aspects of life, including:
*Worship* (prayer, fasting, charity, pilgrimage)
*Family* (marriage, divorce, parents' rights)
*Justice* (truthfulness, fairness, avoiding oppression)
*Social Issues* (helping the poor, treating others with kindness)
#Preservation of the Quran**
The Quran has been preserved both *orally and in written form* since its revelation. During the time of Prophet Muhammad, many of his companions memorized the entire Quran. After his passing, the first Caliph, **Abu Bakr**, compiled it into a single written manuscript, and the third Caliph, **Uthman ibn Affan**, standardized its recitation. Today, millions of Muslims have memorized the Quran **word for word**.
#Recitation and Memorization**
Reciting the Quran is a form of worship, and *Tajweed* (rules of pronunciation) ensures proper recitation. The Quran is often *memorized in full (Hifz)* by individuals known as **Hafiz**, a highly respected achievement in Islam.
#Scientific and Linguistic Miracles**
Many Muslims believe the Quran contains *scientific facts* that were unknown at the time of its revelation, such as:
The development of the embryo (**Surah Al-Mu’minun 23:12-14**)
The expansion of the universe (**Surah Adh-Dhariyat 51:47**)
The function of mountains as stabilizers (**Surah An-Naba 78:6-7**)
Linguistically, the Quran is regarded as **the peak of Arabic literature**, with its poetic rhythm, profound meanings, and inimitable style.
#Influence and Impact**
The Quran has shaped Islamic civilization, inspiring contributions to *philosophy, science, medicine, literature, and law**. It has influenced the daily lives of **1.9 billion Muslims* worldwide, guiding their beliefs, actions, and legal systems. #quranrecitation #islam #ramadanquran Overview**e overview'''''
