The Qu'ran is the last revealed Word of God and as such affirms and completes the total process of revelation which has come from the Divine, for the Guidance of the Human race. The Qu'ran is the basic source of Islamic teachings and laws and deals with the bases of creeds, morality, history of humanity, worship, knowledge, wisdom, God-man relationship ( He is our Master, Creator, and Lord, we are his servants ), and human relationships in all aspects.
Comprehensive teachings on which sound systems of social justice, economics, politics, legislation, jurisprudence, law and international relations can be built, are important contents of the Holy Qu'ran.
Muhammad ( SAW ) himself was an unlettered man who could not read or write. The Holy Qu'ran was revealed to him over a period of 23 years and committed to memory and writing by his followers under his supervision during his lifetime. The original and complete text of the Qu'ran is available to everybody in Arabic, the language in which it was revealed. Translations of the meaning into many languages are widely used.
Hadith, the teachings, sayings, and actions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad ( SAW ), meticulously reported and collected by his devoted companions, explain and elaborate the Qu'ranic verses.
