Quran

 The Quran (also spelled Qur'an or Koran) is the holy book of Islam, believed by Muslims to be the word of God (Allah) as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel over a period of approximately 23 years. It is written in Arabic and is considered the ultimate source of guidance for Muslims in matters of faith, worship, and daily life.

Key Features of the Quran:

  1. Structure:

    • The Quran is divided into 114 chapters called Surahs, which vary in length.

    • Each Surah is made up of verses called Ayahs.

    • The Surahs are not arranged chronologically but roughly in order of length, with the longer ones at the beginning and the shorter ones at the end, except for the opening Surah, Al-Fatiha.

  2. Themes:

    • The Quran covers a wide range of topics, including:

      • The oneness of God (Tawhid).

      • Stories of previous prophets (e.g., Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus).

      • Moral and ethical guidance.

      • Laws and commandments.

      • Descriptions of the afterlife, heaven, and hell.

      • Social justice, family life, and community relations.

  3. Language and Style:

    • The Quran is written in classical Arabic and is renowned for its literary beauty and eloquence.

    • It is considered a miracle (Mu'jizah) in its linguistic and rhetorical excellence.

  4. Recitation:

    • The Quran is meant to be recited aloud, and its recitation is an important form of worship in Islam.

    • There are specific rules for Tajweed, the proper pronunciation and intonation during recitation.

  5. Preservation:

    • Muslims believe the Quran has been perfectly preserved since its revelation, both in written form and through memorization (Hifz).

    • Millions of Muslims around the world have memorized the entire Quran.

Significance in Islam:

  • The Quran is the primary source of Islamic law (Sharia) and theology.

  • It is complemented by the Hadith (sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad) for further guidance.

  • Muslims believe the Quran is the final revelation, superseding previous scriptures like the Torah and the Bible.

Notable Surahs:

  • Al-Fatiha (The Opening): The first Surah, recited in every unit of Muslim prayer (Salah).

  • Ayat al-Kursi (Verse of the Throne): A famous verse from Surah Al-Baqarah (2:255) describing God's sovereignty.

  • Surah Yasin: Often referred to as the "heart of the Quran."

  • Surah Al-Ikhlas: A short Surah emphasizing the oneness of God.

  Refutation of theory of evolution of Darwin in light of science and reality: Anyone who seeks an answer to the question of how living things, including himself, came into existence, will encounter two distinct explanations. The first is the fact that all living things were created by the All-Wise and Almighty Allah. The second explanation is the theory of "evolution," which claims that living things are the products of coincidental causes and natural processes. For a century and a half now, the theory of evolution has received extensive support from the scientific community. The science of biology is defined in terms of evolutionist concepts. That is why, between the two explanations of creation and evolution, the majority of people assume the evolutionist explanation to be scientific. Accordingly, they believe evolution to be a theory supported by the observational findings of science, while creation is thought to be a belief based on faith. As a matter of fact, however, s...
