The
Qur'aan
The Qur'aan,
the last revealed word of God (Allah Almighty), is the primary source of every Muslim's
faith and practice. It deals with all the subjects which concern human beings: wisdom,
doctrine, worship, transactions, law, etc., but its basic theme is the relationship
between Allah Almighty and His creatures. At the same time it provides guidelines
and detailed teachings for a just society, proper human conduct, and an equitable
economic system.
The Qur'aan was revealed to Muhammad peace be upon him (sallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) in
Arabic language, so any Qur'aanic translation, either in English or any other
language, is neither a Qur'aan, nor a version of the Qur'aan. It is rather
only a translation of the meaning of the Qur'aan. The Qur'aan exists only in
the Arabic in which it was revealed.
