The Qur'aan
The
Qur'aan, the last revealed word of God (Allah), is the primary source of
every Muslim's faith and practice. It deals with all the subjects which
concern human beings: wisdom, doctrine, worship, transactions, law, etc.,
but its basic theme is the relationship between Allah and His creatures. At
the same time it provides guidelines and detailed teachings for a just
society, proper human conduct, and an equitable economic system.
The
Qur'aan was revealed to Muhammad
(sallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) in Arabic language, so any Qur'aanic
translation, either in English or any other language, is neither a Qur'aan,
nor a version of the Qur'aan. It is rather only a translation of the meaning
of the Qur'aan. The Qur'aan exists only in the Arabic in which it was
revealed.
