The Qu'ran: A Guidance for all of Mankind

When the Qu'ran was revealed to Muhammad (SAW) by Angel Jibra'eel, it was the last book of Allah (SWT). The Qu'ran was meant to be the guide to all. It contains stories of the prophets and messengers, directives to followers and good news for believers and bad news for disbelievers. The stories of the prophets are put into the Qu'ran as an example to the Muslims, so they may understand the hardships and struggles they went through with their families and people. The Qu'ran has 30 juz and 114 surahs. The Qu'ran is not of false sayings, rather the light of the truth. In Surah Baqarah ayah 2, it mentions, 
" This is the Book ( the Qu'ran) whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are Al- Muttaqun..." 

This Qu'ran is what kept the Muslims together under the rule of Islam, whether they were of different sects ( Sunnis or Shias) and it was the Kalaam of Allah (SWT) that unified them and made them stronger.
