Quran
The
Qur’an (Arabic: القرآن al-qur’ān, literally "the recitation"; also sometimes transliterated as Qur’ān, Koran, Alcoran or Al-Qur’ān)is the
word of the Lord of the Worlds. Revealed by God to His
Messenger
Muhammad
(peace and blessings of God be
upon him), to bring mankind forth
from darkness into light:
God has told us in the Qur’an the stories of the earlier and later generations and the creation of the heavens and the earth. He has explained in detail what is allowed (halal) and what is forbidden (haram), the basics of good manners and morals, the rulings of and dealings with others, the lives of the Prophets and the righteous, and the reward and punishment of the believers and disbelievers. He has described Paradise, the abode of the Believers, and He has described Hell, the abode of the Disbelievers. He has made it (the Qur’an) an explanation of all things: “And We have sent down to you the Book (the Qur’an) as an exposition of everything, a guidance, a mercy, and glad tidings for those who have submitted themselves (to God)”
Is the present Gospel the same that God had revealed to Prophet Jesus?

10) The Houses in which the Qur’an is Recited Become Illuminated to the Inhabitants of the Heavens
Al-Bayhaqī has reported on the authority of ʿĀʾisha (R) that the Prophet (PBUH) said: “The houses in which Qur’an is recited glow to the inhabitants of the Heavens the way in which the stars glow to the inhabitants of the earth.”
Al-Ḥakīm al-Timidhī reports on the authority of Abū Hurayra (R) and Abū Dardāʾ (R), “The houses of the believers are as lanterns in front of the Throne [of God]. It is recognized by the inhabitants of the seven Heavens. They say: ‘This light emanates from the homes of the believers who recite the Qur’an.’”
11) Recitation of the Qur’an Purifies the Heart
Al-Bayhaqī relates in Shuʿab al-īmān on the authority of Ibn ʿUmar (R) saying, “The Messenger of God (PBUH) said: ‘This heart rusts as iron rusts when exposed to water.” It was asked: ‘O Messenger of God what is its purifier?’ He said: ‘An abundant remembrance of death and recitation of the Qur’an.’”
