The Quran in brief

Muslims believe in all the heavenly sacred books, but they also believe that the Quran is the only holy book that remains intact. That’s why they only follow the instructions and guidance of the Quran. So, what is the Quran?

Briefly put, it is the Islamic holy book. Muslims believe that the Quran is the words of God dictated to the prophet Muhammad -peace be upon him- in the Arabic language. The Quran is translated into many languages, but Muslims believe that the Arabic version has a subtle power that cannot be felt in or translated into other languages. Yet everyone can feel this power by listening to the Arabic reciting of the Quran even if he/she does not understand Arabic.

Here are the English translations of some famous verses of the Quran:

"This(the Quran) is an insight to humanity—a guide and a lesson to the God-fearing." Ali 'Imran, verse 138
"It is not for Allah to take a son! Glory be to Him. When He decrees a matter, He simply tells it, “Be!” And it is!" Maryam, verse 35
"O humanity! A lesson is set forth, so listen to it ˹carefully˺: those ˹idols˺ you invoke besides Allah can never create ˹so much as˺ a fly, even if they ˹all˺ were to come together for that. And if a fly were to snatch anything away from them, they cannot ˹even˺ retrieve it from the fly. How powerless are those who invoke and those invoked!" Al-Hajj, verse 73

And these are some of the audio files of Arabic reciting:

Surah Maryam

Surah Al-hijer

Surah Al-balad

about us

We live in a world that turned out to be a small village in terms of the huge advancement in the transportation means, the cutting edge technologies that has affected every aspect of our life and made the way we travel, communicate, learn about each other and get the news and information far more easier.

There are no more reasons to fight or fear the unknown other. Unfortunately, as you certainly know, this is not the case. we live in a completely opposite world. Every once in a w

What happened to a Christian lady after she had read the Quran?

What happened to a Christian lady after she had read the Quran? Due to the enormous media campaign targeting Islam and Muslims and associating all the terrorist events to the Islamic background of the perpetrator rather than to his criminal record or mental health as is the case when the perpetrator is a white western person, most non-Muslims including Christians start hating or at least fearing Islam and its followers. As an expected consequence, ordinary people falsely believe that the Quran is full of hateful verses and encourages its readers to hate, attack, and even kill the non-believers. This has resulted in a wave of hate and racist attacks targeting Muslim minorities and Muslim immigrants all over western countries and it is getting bigger and bigger every day. However, media outlets are not the only factor to blame for this hate wave. The audience's laziness and their tendency to hate others based only on what they hear about them without any little effort to investigate
