In fact Allah states in Holy Quran that if it was not the word of Allah, people would be fighting over the meanings of verses. However the verses in Quran are such that they provide answer to all the queries and still do not confuse the believers. There is no contradiction in the meaning and there is an answer to every question in Quran for those who want to grasp the true meaning. Scientific Proof Quran was revealed many years ago before even the scientific discoveries were made. It was questioned many times that how come Quran contains scientific proofs that it is word of Allah however Allah answered all these questions before they were asked.
She states that in her keynote speech that the Quran, "provides some theological criteria for reading it through its description of God" (Barlas, 2006). Allah the name of God in Islam, is culturally referred to as a male figure in everyday terms but Barlas argues that the Quran does not state the gender of God and doesn’t promote patriarchy. Barlas explains that "the Quran does not represent God as Father and in fact it explicitly forbids Muslims from sacralising God as Father" (Barlas, 2006). There are two most common ways of describing Allah. The most common way is that Allah is the one and only God or using God as a representation of a male figure and going forward using that as a basis of male being a more dominate gender.
Vastly it implies attributing divine characteristics to any other besides Allah and associating partners in worship with Allah. Another way to put it which is most frequently seen or practiced among Muslims is the belief that the source of power, harm or blessings is from others besides Allah. Since it violates the belief that forms the basis of religion Islam it is the one sin that Allah has rendered unforgivable and promised retribution It only makes sense that the act of denying Allah’s omnipotence has been mentioned frequently in the Quran to instill the significance of this belief among his followers. The focus here is on many obligations placed upon a Muslim being yet it shows that belief in His omnipotence is inseparable from the religion to the extent that it appears this often in the Quran. It also lines up with the fact that shirk is the biggest of sins which should be avoided at all costs for which the Quran has a lot to say to motivate believers to
Addressing the whole of humanity as a single Ummah the Qur’an invites all humans to cultivate an attitude of peace(Ahmed 2015). Qur’an says: “And Allah calls to the abode of peace, and leads whom He will to a straight path” (Qur’an, 10:25). The word peace in its different forms appears in around one hundred and thirty-eight places in the Qur’an(Ahmed 2015). In the same vein Badawi, (2015) adds, the Qur’anic Arabic Term Jihad has been commonly mistranslated as “Holy War”. The Qur’an was revealed in Arabic, not in English.

I personally do not know the Arabic language, but still when the Quran is being recited, my heart fills with something miraculous. Holy Quran, indeed is the real fuel for our souls. The beautiful message of the Supreme Creator has the absolute power to melt hard hearts and heal broken ones. This is the miracle of the Holy Quran which melted the heart of Hazrat Omar RadiAllahuAnho who at that time was considered to be as stiff as a person could possibly be. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) prayed to Allah Almighty to bless him with the company of either Omar Bin Khatab or Omar Bin Hashaam (Abu Jahal).
These principles of Islam is not only higher level of spiritual but it contain much social development among society such as paying charity (zakat) and salat. Furthermore, the concept of worship in Islam is not only performing the five pillar of Islam, but also doing good for mankind such as say Salam and smile to other Muslim, chit chat with neighbor and etc. That is why the concept of worship in Islam triangulate which vertical directly to Allah and horizontal with humankind. The concept of worship in Islam could be encounter non-Islam perspective where they assume that the values in Islam is only performing the five pillar but also more than that. Another guidance for Muslim in this life except Quran is Prophet’s Muhammad life.

The Bible and the the Quran are the basic sources and the core of all later thoughts and ideas in their respective traditions. Each book is an indispensable part of a Christian or Muslim individual since birth.

The book is an active part of the daily lives of men and it serves as a guide throughout people’s existence. In fact, countless phrases of each book have become part of the everyday speech of people.
"There isn't unanimity in either of the foundational sources - the Koran and the Hadiths. The later Muslim community has tended to have different views on this question as on others."
