Revealed for all people: The Quran was not revealed for one tribe, one time, or one problem. It was revealed to guide all people, in every age, towards Allah.
Three great things at once: It does three great things at once:
- It teaches belief. Who is Allah? What happens after death? Why are we here?
- It teaches character. How should we treat our parents, our neighbours, the poor, and even our enemies?
- It teaches how to live. Prayer, honesty, justice, family, money — the whole of life.
A living guide: That is why Muslims return to the Quran in joy and in trouble, in youth and in old age. It is not a history book. It is a living guide.
Key Terms
- Hidayah (الهدایة) — guidance
- Aqeedah (العقیدة) — belief

Quran or Hadith
Quran 17:9 — "Indeed, this Quran guides to that which is most upright." — to be checked.
A short explanation, in a small box in the app: the Quran does not only tell us what is true — it shows us the straightest, most upright way to live.

Example
A map is read again and again: A map is not read just once. You look at it whenever you are lost, and whenever you start a new journey.
The map for life's journey: The Quran is the map for the journey of life. A beginner does not need to understand all of it at once — even one verse, understood and acted upon, is a step on the road.
