The Quran, the holy book of Islam, is considered the literal word of God (Allah) as revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Its sciences, known as Ulum al-Quran, encompass various disciplines such as Tafsir (exegesis), Asbab al-Nuzul (reasons for revelation), Qira'at (recitations), and I'jaz (miraculous nature). These sciences aim to understand the Quran's linguistic, historical, and theological dimensions. The Quran addresses themes of guidance, morality, law, and the relationship between God and humanity. Its study is central to Islamic scholarship and spiritual growth.
