First lesson : Distnictive characteristics of the Quran ( ‫)مميزات القرآن الكريم‬

The Holy Quran is the speech of Allah, which He revealed to our Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon Him, therefore, we have to venerate it, read it,
ponder its verses. The Holy Quran has numerous unique features which
distinguish it from the other revealed books. These include the following:

1.The Glorious Quran provides a summary of divine rulings. It also came to


support and confirm the command to worship Allah alone contained in the
previous divine books. Allah said" And we have revealed to you the book with
the truth, confirming the books before it and with final authority over them".
( Surat Al Maa'ida 5:48). This verse makes clear that The Quran agrees with and
confirms the truth, statements and beliefs, amongst other things, contained in the
previous books

2. All poeple, regardless of their language or race, must adhere to the Quran and
act according to its dictates, as opposed the previous scriptures which were
revealed for particular poeples at specific times. The Quran says," This Quran
has been revealed to me so that I may warn you but it , and anyone else it
reaches." ( Surat Al-Anaam, 6: 19)
3. While many additions and deletions have crept into the other divine books, the
Quran has remained intact because Allah the Almighty has taken it upon
Himself to protect it, as the Quran says ," We have sent down the Reminder, and
We will surely guard it ( from corruption)," ( Surat Al Hijr, 15:19).
