The Holy Quran: the Foundational Source of Islam
What is it?
In the beginning of the seventh century C.E., the folks of Mecca and Medina had a fascinatingly unique window: they had direct access to the Heavens through one of their own, the Holy Prophet Mohammed; as if Allah Ta'aala Subhaanahoo was with them on the grounds. They were blessed with a regular stream of Divine counseling and guidelines. Question and answer sessions were part of the program. Even individual questioner was graced by an answer from the Lord. In the short Introduction to this scheme known as the First Wahee they were assured that at the end of this twenty-two year project, Divine Directions and Admonitions will continue through the agency of the Heavenly PEN. The whole discourse has been preserved, compiled and archived till eternity under the guarantee of our Lord and Creator. This record in known as the Quran.
