QURAN-A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE HOLY TEXT

It is generally believed by all who follow the path of Islam and the Holy Quran, which literally translates to “the recitation”, that Prophet Muhammad received all that has been recorded in the Holy Text as a recital uttered by the Allah himself through the angel known as Jibril. It is believed that the great man received all these visions in a cave just outside the city of Mecca over a period of 23 years.

Today, over a millennium and a half in the making, Islam has transformed itself as the second biggest religion on the planet with the Quran itself belonging to the pantheon of both historical and religious texts that have transcended humanity itself. Its significance is highlighted by the fact that over 1.8 billion people spread out across 50 countries consider the texts as the cornerstone of their faith, which basically means their daily lives are in some way or the other influenced by the Holy Book. It established Islam as the single fastest growing religion in the history of mankind and established the existence and one supreme power of Allah.

Being the most important piece of text and containing the will of the Supreme One himself-Allah, the followers of the faith and the book are required to uphold certain rules that touches upon various aspects of a person’s life-from the personal matters to the social ones. It is viewed upon by historians and philosophers as an important religious and social guide that leads a person into living a fulfilling and righteous life while also touching upon various subjects related to mankind, society and even the universe itself. In order to effectively read and follow the Quran, certain norms are to be followed without which a person can never hope to get release from the mortal cage of life and rise towards the arms of Allah himself.

The Quran declares itself as a guide for humanity, and has served as a pathway for innumerable number of souls for over a thousand years. Initially, the recitations that were uttered by the Prophet Muhammad were noted down by scribes. After his death, these recitals were compiled under one name that gives us the Quran we experience and witness to this day. Across the various passages, the Quran narrates many significant and mythological stories often preferring the moral teachings above the narrative structure itself. It is completely composed in Arabic, and today, it stands as perhaps the most iconic of all Arabic literature.

To understand the significance of such a historic piece of text completely, one must, at least once in a lifetime, try to read and understand the teachings of Allah by himself/herself.
