In this course material, we delve into the various facets of the Qur’an, from its revelation to its preservation and the valuable lessons it imparts to humanity.

**Revelation of the Qur’an:** The miraculous journey of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) to Cave Hira marked the commencement of the divine revelation of the Qur’an. The first revelation received by the Prophet and his initial reaction reflect the profound impact of this divine message on his life and the lives of all believers. Exploring the different modes of revelation through which the Qur’an was delivered, including direct dictation, angelic inspiration, and gradual revelation, enhances our understanding of the intricate process through which the Qur’an unfolded over time. The piecemeal revelation of the Qur’an, unveiling its verses in response to various events and circumstances, adds depth to our appreciation of its timeless wisdom and guidance.

**Preservation of the Qur’an:** The meticulous preservation of the Qur’an, a task undertaken by the companions of the Prophet (S.A.W.) under divine guidance, ensures its authenticity and purity to this day. The complete arrangement of the Qur’an, distinguishing between Makki and Madani revelations, sheds light on the historical context and thematic diversity of its chapters. Examining the recording, compilation, and standardization of the Qur’an elucidates the monumental effort invested in preserving this divine scripture for future generations. Recognizing the pivotal role played by the companions in safeguarding the Qur’an underscores their unwavering commitment to preserving the teachings of Islam in their purest form.

**Importance of the Qur’an:** From reading the Qur’an in its original Arabic text or transliteration to memorizing its verses and understanding their profound meanings, the Qur’an serves as a timeless source of guidance and inspiration for Muslims. Delving into the meanings of selected Suwar and extracting the valuable lessons embedded within them enables believers to draw wisdom and apply the teachings of the Qur’an in their daily lives. By exploring the significance of the Qur’an as a source of spiritual nourishment, moral guidance, and social cohesion, individuals cultivate a deeper appreciation for the divine wisdom encapsulated within its verses.
