The Qur'aan, the last revealed word of God (Allah), is the primary source of every Muslim's faith and practice. It deals with all the subjects which concern human beings: wisdom, doctrine, worship, transactions, law, etc., but its basic theme is the relationship between Allah and His creatures. At the same time it provides guidelines and detailed teachings for a just society, proper human conduct, and an equitable economic system.

The Qur'aan was revealed to Muhammad (sallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) in Arabic language, so any Qur'aanic translation, either in English or any other language, is neither a Qur'aan, nor a version of the Qur'aan. It is rather only a translation of the meaning of the Qur'aan. The Qur'aan exists only in the Arabic in which it was revealed.
