| What is the
central theme of Qur'an? Since the advent of
Islam and the revelation of the Qur'an in the early years of the seventh century
AD, the Muslim Holy Book has been the subject of many extensive analytical
studies. The focus of the great majority of these studies has been the theological
and legislative aspects of the Holy Book, for the Qur'an provides Muslims with
detailed guidance on their everyday problems. Together with the sayings, actions,
and recommendations of Muhammad, (blessings of Allah be upon him and his progeny)
the Qur'an has been the ultimate source of legal authority for Muslims over the
past fourteen centuries. Muslim scholars have also painstakingly examined, analyzed
and interpreted the various verses of the Holy Book, detailing the requirements
the Qur'an imposes on Muslims in order for them to achieve spiritual purity. Thus,
in rise and decline, or are these conditions
Muslims in order for
them to achieve spiritual purity. Thus, in addition to its legislative and
theological value, the Qur'an has also served as a source of spiritual guidance
for the followers of Islam.
