Listen with EnglishHow the Quran Was Revealed
The Quran was revealed over time as guidance for real situations, questions, trials, and events faced by the early Muslim community. This gradual revelation helped the believers understand, memorise, practise, and live by the words of Allah.
“If We had sent this Quran down to a mountain, you would have seen it humbled and coming apart from fear of Allah. And these examples We present to the people that perhaps they will give thought.” Quran 59:21.
The Quran contains 114 chapters, known as surahs. Its message calls people to worship Allah alone, live with justice and mercy, remember the Hereafter, and follow the guidance revealed through the prophets.
The Quran and Preservation
During the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad, Peace and Blessings upon him, the Quran was memorised by his companions and written down under his direction. Muslims have preserved the Quran through both memorisation and written transmission across generations.
The Quran remains central to Muslim worship, learning, family life, law, spiritual reflection, and daily remembrance of Allah.
The Quran as Guidance and Miracle
Muslims believe the Quran is the greatest miracle given to Prophet Muhammad, Peace and Blessings upon him. Its language, guidance, preservation, recitation, and transformative effect on hearts and societies are all part of its lasting power.
The Quran also confirms the original call of the prophets before Muhammad, Peace and Blessings upon him: to worship Allah alone and live in obedience to Him.
