The Qur'an

The Glorious Qur'an is the word of Allah, the Almighty as He revealed it to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It is the last message from Allah, given to the last Prophet. The revelation lasted only twenty three years from the time when the Prophet (PBUH) was forty years until the day of his death.

The revelation came to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in Makkah and at Madinah. The revelation received in Makkah is known as the Makkan revelation and that revealed in Madinah as the Madinian revelation.

The Makkan revelation emphasizes the Oneness of Allah, and His Might. It sets forth the belief in the Day of Resurrection. when people will be asked about their deeds in this life. It also draws the attention of mankind to the power of Allah through the creation of heaven and earth. It also gives parables from the life of other nations and so draws the attention of the people of Makkah to the punishment these nations received from Allah because of their disbelief. These parables are given in order to make the people of Makkah realize the punishment that could be incurred by their denial of Allah and to make them accept the call of the Prophet Muhammad.

The revelation of Madinah gives much consideration to social life, to human relationships family law and to systems of government. In general, we can say that the rules for the relationships of Muslims to other members of the society, and to the soceity as a whole, are set out. In addition, this revelation of Madinah also gives rules of the system of government in Islam as well as economic, social and political affairs.
