“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 Muhammad (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.

Robert Salaam: When I joined the Marine Corps in 1998 it was a different world per se. Most of my peers joined the military as an alternative to staying home or not going to college. Many like me joined the Marine Corps simply to be part of the best miliatary organization on the planet (sorry Army). However, that was it in a nutshell. There were no dreams of war and combat no matter how much warrior training I had. It was good stuff to know, it felt good to know I could if I wanted to, but I was content behind my desk and flying with President Clinton to the Harley David factory in Pennsylvania or to South Beach, Miami. That was the extent of my career until 9/11.
I used to listen to the Quran from your website but it does not seem to be working from my home computer (MS Windows 7)
Hi Bahaa, we just added a new “Listen Quran” link under the Quran menu, just for you my friend
Magnificent website this is. I enjoy learning about other religions and cultures.
Muslims often claim that they have the original Qur’an. But it was in the head of Muhammad and he is dead so there is no original. Then Abu Bakr made the first written edition of the Qur’an. One copy was given to Helsa, Muhammad’s widow, for safe keeping. But about 20 years later Uthman did a revision, and burnt all the other Qur’ans including the unaltered Qur’an that Hefsa possessed. why? There was no possiblity of it being corrupted!
Two copies of the Uthman third revision exists in the Topkapi Museum in Turkey and the other in the Al-Majid Al-Kaberrd in Yemen. But yet these are kept under lock and key. If Muslims are so sure that even the third eidition of the Qur’an has not been alter, then why are photo copies of these two Qur’an not made available to the public?
If the Qur’an is eternal, and Allah is eternal, then doesn’t Islam have two eternal?
So, more than one thing cannot be eternal in order for a religion to be valid?
Maybe the impression that you have is that if the Quran is eternal then that means we, as muslims, worship it? Allah created the Quran, He is the only one that we worship.
We also believe that our life after death is eternal, but that does not make Allah any less worthy of our worship, as His eternal nature is not alone what makes Him worthy of our worship, so I guess I’m not sure what your point (or perhaps criticism?) referred to when you mentioned the enternal characteristic of the Quran alongside the eternal characteristic of Allah.
-ANd anything I have said correct is from the mercy of Allah, and any error I have made is from myself & I ask Allah’s forgiveness
ISLAM IS THE FIST AND THE LAST RELIGION IN THE WORLD.
