The Holy Quran

The Holy Qur’an is the Holy Book of Islam, and it is the original and exact word of God. 
 
It has been the practice of God throughout religious history that He sends His teachings through direct revelation to His messengers. The Qur’an, revealed in the language of  Arabic, is the Holy Book of Muslims. The Holy Qur’an is a compilation of the verbal revelations revealed to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa) over a period of 23 years. It is therefore the direct Word of God and has remained preserved and unchanged ever since it was revealed. It contains a comprehensive religious philosophy, providing mankind with a code for social and moral behaviour. It sheds light on who God is and how humans can establish a relationship with him.
The two goals of Islam are to establish a relationship of sincere love with the Creator and with His creation. The Qur’an contains 700 commandments, all of which can be divided between these two purposes.
