[The Heifer  62]
Those who believe, and those who are Jewish, and the Christians, and the Sabeans-any who believe in God and the Last Day, and act righteously-will have their reward with their Lord; they have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.

[Monotheism  1-4]
In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.

Ratings and reviews

Please note that inspiration and miracles are two different words with different meanings.. Inspiration is indirect communication from Allah to his chosen ones whereas Miracles are direct communication from Allah. The Prophet Saw received direct communication from Allah in the form of the Quran, a living miracle. Please refer the original meaning of the word wahyu ie direct communication from Allah rather than ilham/inspiration from Allah. Quran is a miracle ie direct communication from Allah to the Prophet Saw. Two different words but with an important distinction ie direct communication from Allah - wahyu/the word and the other ilham/inspiration. Please be so kind as to amend this so that the error is not perpetuated ad continuum.

In this century, Most of the Muslims don't follow 80_90 % rules of Islam, including me.. But if one read complete Quran and understands he/she will say Islam is Perfect... But Muslims are not

This is an amazing book for ALL. I'm a hindu, but I've read d Gita, Quran, Bible & d Guru Granth Sahib. In all these Holy Books, I found there is one thing common, i.e., there is a SUPREME GOD. I think there should not be any wall between religions. If you are a Muslim, go & visit a Hindu temple/Church/Gurudwara. Then you will feel that you have NO FEAR (or WALLS)

About the author

God is the Supreme Ruler of the Heavens and the Earth. He is the Originator of all things, and the Sustainer of all beings. He is the Sublime Creator of all the worlds, the Most Dignified, the Almighty, the Merciful. God is the First and the Last, the Hidden and the Obvious, the Loving and the Forgiving, the Living and the Immortal. He feeds and He is never fed.

God communicates with humanity. It is He who revealed the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Quran. These Divine Books contain guidance, light, mercy, and healing. Prophet Muhammad is the last of the Prophets. He received the Quran from God, through inspiration.

The Quran was translated into many languages, and many English translations of the Quran exist today. The translation by Talal Itani is in plain English, and is pure and very accurate.

Talal Itani studied the Quran over a period of 15 years. He is an electronics engineer, religion researcher, and writer. His translation of the Quran is clear, easy to read, and highly faithful to the Arabic original.

ClearQuran publishes the Quran in multiple formats, including websites, Apps, eBooks, videos, and print.
