What is the Koran?


The Koran is one of the most influential books in the history of mankind. It is a set of words that Muslims live by. Words with powerful impact, that drive one of the world's fastest growing religions, with more than a billion followers.

The Koran was revealed by God directly to the prophet Muhammad. It is not simply what God inspired to his prophet to say, or said history of some important event, is actually God´s own message. The Koran was revealed in Arabic, but is not sent only for Arabic speaking people, the message is for all mankind.

The first and main message is:

 1. Worship God and only one God
 2. A day of judgment would come when they would be consequences for the actions of everyone on earth

The message is clear and powerful, but not a new one. The Koran made it clear that it is the same message that had been handed down in the previous scriptures.

The Koran is considered to be some of the most beautiful Arabic ever written. It has a unique style. It is miraculously perfect and impossible to imitate. There is no prior or subsequent text that can remotely compare with the Koran, it had to be the work of God. All historians, Muslims or not, agree that the Koran of today remains unaltered, preserved perfectly as God´s revelation as preached by Muhammad.


It is a rulebook about how to live one's life, how to define one's morality and how to experience the world and the struggles in the context of the world brings about. The Koran helps to build up the components of the personality and the way of thinking.
