A message meant to be heard, not inherited.
Many people form an opinion about the Qur’an without ever opening it. Often, what they know comes from media portrayals or political conflicts.
But before judging any message, a fair question must be asked: What does the Qur’an claim to be?
The Qur’an does not present itself as a book written by Muhammad (Peace be upon him), nor as a collection of personal opinions. Instead, it claims to be:
Its focus is not storytelling for entertainment, but guidance.
One striking feature of the Qur’an is its tone. It speaks directly to the reader, the skeptic, the believer, and the doubter.
It asks questions, challenges assumptions, and repeatedly invites reflection. Many readers describe the experience not as "reading about God" but as being addressed by God.
The Qur’an speaks about many figures already known from the Bible, such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Mary, and Jesus (Peace be upon them).
But it emphasizes one consistent theme: They were all servants of God, calling people to worship Him alone. This continuity is central to the message.
From the moment of its revelation, the Qur’an was memorized by thousands and recited publicly. Even today, millions across the world — including children — memorize the entire book word for word.
This oral tradition has kept the original Arabic text intact for over 1400 years.
If this book claims to be from God, would it ask you to blindly follow, or to think? The Qur’an repeatedly encourages reason and reflection.
