The Quran is the final and complete revelation from Allah to humanity, sent through Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) over 23 years via Angel Jibril (Gabriel). It is the literal, unchanged Word of God in Arabic, preserved perfectly since revelation 1400+ years ago. The Quran is guidance for all humanity containing: principles of faith, moral teachings, laws for personal and social life, stories of past prophets and nations, and descriptions of the afterlife. It confirms previous scriptures while serving as the final criterion of truth. Allah describes it as "guidance for the righteous" (2:2), "a clear explanation of all things" (16:89), and "a healing for what is in the hearts" (10:57). Millions have memorized it entirely, making it the most preserved book in human history.
