Muslims believe the Qur'an to be the book of Divine guidance and direction for Mankind.

Muslims believe the Qur'ān, in its original Arabic, to be the literal word of God[2] that was revealed to Muhammad over a period of several years[3] until his death, and believe it to be God's final revelation to humanity[4][5]. Muslims regard the Qur'ān as a continuation of other divine messages that started with those revealed to Adam — the first prophet — and including the Suhuf-i-Ibrahim (Scrolls of Abraham/Ibrahim)[6], the Tawrat (Torah)[7][8], the Zabur (Psalms)[9][10], and the Injil (Gospel)[11][12][13], in between. The aforementioned books are recognized in the Qur'ān. [14][15]Muslims are directed to follow the Qurʾān — the last and final, completely untainted (with God promising to protect it: "Verily We: It is We Who have sent down the Dhikr [the Qur'ān] and surely, We will guard it [from corruption]" [16][17]) message from God.
