Quran, the Guidance for Mankind

Muslims believe that the Qur’an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, by God Almighty through the Angel Gabriel. The Qur’an informs us that Muhammad is the final Messenger in a long line of Messengers that God sent before him, such as Abraham, Moses and Jesus, peace be upon them all. This is one of the many unique aspects of the Qur’an: it acknowledges all of the Messengers sent by God. The Qur’an’s impact on the world is immeasurable. Although the Qur’an was revealed in 7th century Arabia, it contains a universal message for the whole of mankind. Because of the Qur’an, there are over 1.5 billion Muslims in the world today - nearly a quarter of humanity. They are people of all races, nationalities and backgrounds. Just to give you a practical demonstration of how many Muslims there are in the world, at any given moment, on any day, someone, somewhere, is reciting the Qur’an. It is estimated that there are many millions of Muslims alive today who have memorised the entire Qur’an. One has to wonder, what is it about the Qur’an that has made such an imprint on the hearts of over a billion Muslims? While the Qur’an is the most widely read book in the world, it is also arguably the most often misunderstood and misrepresented. These days it seems that everyone is talking about the Qur’an. But how many have actually read it? How many have allowed it to speak for itself ? Whether you have read the Qur’an or not, whether you have even heard of the Qur’an before or not, it has already shaped and influenced your life in ways you cannot imagine. You may be thinking to yourself, do all religions not make fantastical claims? After all, if these ancient books were originally written in the past, and we were not there at the time to witness the events, then does not belief in them ultimately derive from blind faith? Muslims do not just believe that the Qur’an is from God based on blind faith. The Qur’an is a living miracle, one that we can all experience for ourselves. Bold claims need to be backed up by strong evidence. As you are going to see, the Qur’an challenges its reader and engages our intellect by providing many testable and verifiable proofs of its divine origin. This book [and articles in this website] is going to challenge misconceptions and make some strong assertions. If you are a sceptic of religious books because you think that they are filled with too many fantastical claims and insufficient evidence, then prepare to be surprised. If you have already read the Qur’an and think that you have seen everything it has to offer, think again (The Eternal Challenge 6)!

The Previous Divine Books

Previous messengers and holy books were meant for a specific nation, context, and time and the preservation of the divine message were given to the people and whenever the book got changed or tampered with, God would send a new messenger. Thus, there has been many messengers that has come during human history. And in regards to Muhammad (pbuh), he is the final messenger of God; hence, he is meant for all nations, for all people and for all eternal time after him until the end of times. Muslims also believe in the previous books that were sent to the messengers such as Torah, Injeel, and others but they have been changed and corrupted. Thus, it is only logical to follow Quran for it is a reaffrimation and clarification of the truth that existed in all previous messages!
