The Qur’an (Arabic: القرآن, al-Qurʾān)—a term meaning “the Recitation” or “the Proclaimed Reading”—stands as the living and central core of the Islamic tradition, not merely as a book, but as a revealed Word that is heard, preserved, and transmitted. According to the faith of believers, it represents the divine Message communicated in the 7th century CE by GOD (Arabic: الله, ALLĀH) to the Prophet Muhammad through the mediation of the angel Gabriel, in a gradual process of revelation that unfolded over approximately twenty-three years. Beyond its historical dimension, however, the Qur’an presents itself as a universal and timeless call: a constant invitation to divine unity (tawḥīd), justice, mercy, and human moral responsibility. Within it are interwoven prophetic narratives already known in the Jewish and Christian traditions, together with admonitions, laws, and spiritual reflections, forming a text that does not merely inform, but seeks to transform the inner life of the one who receives it. In this perspective, the Qur’an is not only to be read, but to be listened to, contemplated, and lived, as a guide to orient human existence toward the Good, in the awareness of the constant presence of the Creator within history and within the heart of man.
