Revelation and the Qur'an
Abstract
The Qur’an is one of the most significant religious literary works in the history of the world. As Islam’s holy scripture, it is often compared to the Gospels and the Torah. All three texts are regarded by their respective communities as the Word of God or as divinely inspired, though the nature and degree of inspiration varies significantly across Jewish and Christian traditions.
