However, before dealing with any other topics
in the Quranic studies, e.g. its authenticity
as the word of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is
He), it is of paramount importance to have a glimpse
towards better understanding of the book itself:
The Glorious Quran. What is Quran? What is this
book about? What are its contents? How is it a
miracle? Why millions of believers still take
this 14 centuries old book as their source of
guide and salvation in their lives? How is it
different from any other thousands of books penned
by different authors? What is so unique about
Quran? Is the Quran a book of history, or of poetry?
Or is it a book about science and natural phenomena?
Is it a book about Social manners and spirituality
or a book about Allah's Creation? Is it a book
of Law? What is its general theme? In an attempt
to answer these questions, the following narratives
are presented, which need careful reflection for
better understanding of the Qur`an.
