English Translation using the Saheeh International translation, read by Ibrahim Walk. Qur'aan recitation by Sheikh Mishary Rashed Alafasy. ---------------------------------------- DOWNLOAD THE SUURAH HERE: right-click and "save link as..." http://download.quranicaudio.com/quran/mishaari_w_ibrahim_walk_si/105.mp3 ---------------------------------------- The Qur'an, literally "the recitation", is the central religious text of Islam. It is the book of divine guidance and direction for mankind, and the original Arabic text is the final revelation of God. The Qur'an was revealed to Muhammad by the angel Jibril (Gabriel) over a period of 23 years. The Qur'an is the culmination of a series of divine messages that started with those revealed to Adam, regarded in Islam as the first prophet, and continued with the Suhuf-i-Ibrahim (Scrolls of Abraham), the Tawrat (Torah), the Zabur (Psalms), and the Injeel (Gospel). The aforementioned books are not explicitly included in the Qur'an, but are recognized therein. The Qur'an also refers to many events from Jewish and Christian scriptures, some of which are retold in comparatively distinctive ways from the Bible and the Torah, while obliquely referring to other events described explicitly in those texts. Humanity has received Divine Guidance only through two channels: * the Word of Almighty God ("Allah" [in Arabic]) [scriptures, Bible, Psalms, etc.] * the Prophets sent by the Allah to communicate His Will to mankind These two things have always been going together, hand in hand. More important though, there were at that time, tens of thousands of his companions ("sahabi" in Arabic) who memorized the complete Qur'an from the instruction of the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. Even the prophet himself, peace be upon him, used to recite it while angel Gabriel once a year and in the last year of his life he recited it two times just before the month in which he died. Next, the leader who came after the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, (Abu Bakr) entrusted the collection of the Qur'an to be written in one volume by one of the Prophet's scribe, Zaid Ibn Thabit. He kept it till his death. Then the next leader, Umar and after him to his daughter, Hafsa who had been one of the wives of prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. Then from the original text which now resides in Topkope Museum, in Istanbul, Turkey, the next leader, Uthman prepared several other exact duplications and sent them to various Muslim territories such as; Uzbekistan and Turkey and England. Today many of the Muslims from these areas are still memorizing the Qur'an. The Qur'an was so meticulously preserved because it is the Book of Guidance for all of humanity for all times. That is why it does not address just the Arabs, in whose language it was revealed. In fact Arabs today do not comprise more than 13% of the Today of Muslims in the world today. Quran speaks to all of mankind on a general basis without regard to race, tribe, color, social position, financial condition or genealogy. * Allah the Almighty says {O Mankind! What has seduced you from your Lord so Generous?"} (Qur'an 82:6) Teachings of Quran are established by the example of Muhammad, peace be upon him, and the good Muslims throughout the ages have endeavored to emulate his teachings both in thought and conduct. The distinctive approach of the Qur'an is that its instructions are aimed at the general welfare of the mankind and are based on the possibilities within his reach. It neither condemns nor tortures the flesh nor does it neglect the soul. It does not humanize God, nor does it deify man. Everything is carefully placed where it belongs in the total scheme of creation. Yet it obviously is not written in human style (chronological order). Those who would claim that the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was the author of the Qur'an are claiming something that is humanly impossible. How could any person of the 7th century utter such scientific truths as those found in the Qur'an? Could he describe the evolution of the embryo inside the uterus so accurately as we find it now recorded in modern science? (see: Dr. Keith Moore's book - on embryology)
