From The Guaranteed Unaltered* Most
HOLY QUR'AN:

Holy Qur'an in original Arabic language.  Available with side by side English and Arabic translations. Also available in many other language translations.




"I have only created jinns and men,
that they may serve Me."

HOLY QUR’AN 51:56


"O ye people!
Adore your Guardian Lord,
Who Created you and those who came before you,
that ye may become righteous."

HOLY QUR’AN 2:21


"Be sure we shall test you with something of fear
and hunger, some loss in goods or lives
or the fruits,
but give glad tidings
to those who
patiently persevere—
who say when afflicted with calamity:
'To ALLAH we belong, and to Him is our return.'"
HOLY QUR’AN 2:155-156








The same One God who revealed the Bible and all other holy books, revealed to His final Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him)—

THE HOLY QUR’AN


—the final, guaranteed unaltered*, book of truth and perfected guide to paradise and eternal life with the One God and Creator of all things, ALLAH.





* "Praise be to ALLAH,
Who has sent to His Servant the Book,
and has allowed therein no crookedness:

"(He has made it) Straight and (Clear)
in order that He may warn (the godless)
of a terrible punishment from Him.
and that He may give Glad Tidings to the Believers
who work Righteous deeds
that they shall have a goodly Reward.

"Wherein they shall remain forever."

HOLY QUR'AN 18:1-3


* ". . .And indeed it is a Book of exalted power.

"No falsehood can approach it
from before or behind it:
It is sent down by One Full of Wisdom,
Worthy of all Praise."

HOLY QUR’AN 41:41-42


"And We sent down the Book to thee
for the express purpose,
that thou shouldst make clear to them
those things in which they differ,
and that it should be a guide and a mercy
to those who believe."
HOLY QUR'AN 16:64


"The same religion has He established for you
as that which He enjoined on Noah—
That which We have sent by inspiration to thee—
And that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses and Jesus:
Namely, that ye should remain steadfast in religion
and make no divisions therein:
To those who worship other things than ALLAH,
Hard is the (way) to which thou callest them.
ALLAH chooses to Himself those whom He pleases,
And guides to Himself those who turn (to Him)."
HOLY QUR’AN 42:13


"This is the Book;
In it is guidance sure, without doubt,
To those who fear ALLAH;"
HOLY QUR’AN 2:2






The religion is ISLAM. ISLAM means submission to ALLAH and peace. Those who practice ISLAM are called Muslims. ISLAM is the beautiful "way of life" our Creator has designated for us. ISLAM is the answer to all the problems of the world. The HOLY QUR'AN and sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (saws), provide all the answers in detail.

Allah

Subhaanahu wa'ta'aala

honors us with ISLAM
answering the yearnings of the soul
to know the truth. Alhamdulillah!



ALLAH has led you here. Don't pass up this opportunity to serve our Creator and receive HIS Favor and Mercy. May ALLAH open your heart to share in this blessing that is ISLAM. May ALLAH effect your heart to ring with joy at the truth of HIS Most HOLY QUR'AN. Ameen.





"Say: 'Who is it that sustains you
from the sky and from the earth?
Or who is it that has power over hearing and sight?
And who is it that brings out the living
from the dead and the dead from the living?
And who is it that rules and regulates all affairs?'
They will soon say, 'ALLAH'.
Say, 'Will you not then show piety (to Him)?'

"Such is ALLAH, your true Lord:
apart from the Truth, what (remains) but error?
How then are you turned away?

"Thus is the Word of your Lord
proved true against those who rebel:
verily they will not believe.

"Say: 'Of your 'partners', can any originate creation and repeat it?'
Say: 'It is ALLAH Who originates creation and repeats it:
then how are you deluded away (from the truth)?

"Say: 'Of your 'partners' is there any
that can give any guidance towards Truth?'
Say: 'It is ALLAH Who gives guidance towards Truth.
Is then He Who gives guidance to Truth
more worthy to be followed,
or he who finds not guidance (himself)
unless he is guided?
What then is the matter with you?
How judge you?

"But most of them follow nothing but conjecture:
truly conjecture can be of no avail against Truth.
Verily ALLAH is aware of all that they do.

"This Qur'an is not such
as can be produced by other than ALLAH;
on the contrary it is a confirmation
of (revelations) that went before it,
and a fuller explanation of the Book—
wherein there is no doubt—
from the Lord of the Worlds."
HOLY QUR'AN 10:31-37


"ALLAH has purchased of the Believers
their persons and their goods;
for theirs (in return) is the Garden (of Paradise):
they fight in His Cause and slay and are slain:
a promise binding on Him in Truth,
through the Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur'an:
and who is more faithful to His Covenant than ALLAH?
Then rejoice in the bargain
which you have concluded:
that is the achievement supreme.

"Those that turn (to ALLAH) in repentance;
that serve Him, and praise Him;
that wander in devotion to Cause of ALLAH;
that bow down and prostrate themselves in prayer;
that enjoin good and forbid evil;
and observe the limits set by ALLAH,—(these do rejoice).
So proclaim the glad tidings to the Believers."
HOLY QUR'AN 9:111-112
