Muslims believe that the Qur’an is the literal word of God. Together with the authentic sayings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), it is the main source of Islamic knowledge. The following are some verses that confirm what has been discussed earlier about Islam and Allah:
“Allah is He, other than Whom there is no other god.”
Qur’an 59:22
“There is nothing like Him and He hears and sees all things.”
Qur’an 42:11
“Your Lord says: ‘Call upon Me, I will answer you.’ ”
Qur’an 40:60
“And worship Allah and associate none with Him.”
Qur’an 4:36
“So set no equals to Allah while you know (there is none equal to him).”
Qur’an 2:22
“Say: ‘How do you worship besides Allah something which has no power either to harm or benefit you?’ ”
Qur’an 5:76
Any Quranic translation, either in English or any other language, is neither a Qur’an, nor a version of the Qur’an, but rather it is only a translation of the meaning of the Qur’an. The Qur’an exists only in the Arabic in which it was revealed.
