| "The Qur'an: literally, "that which is often recited." A web of rhythm and meaning, the words of which throb through Muslim worship and which, at every point in the believer's life , break surface, sanctifying existence with the scent of eternity." [Abdul Wadod Shalabi in "Islam - Religion of Life"]
The Qur'an represents the fountainhead of Divine guidance for every Muslim. Its revelation to the Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him), and his practical implementation of the revelation, completed God's blessing for humanity, in providing us with a belief and value system that is valid for all times.
The Qur'an confirms the revelations given to earlier Prophets, though these might not be accessible to us, in the form they were originally revealed. The most sublime poetry in any language, and a rational message that directly appeals to the human heart, have caused this Divine book to move nations and civilizations. It will continue to guide those who turn to God with a sincere heart, for all times.
