'Kuran' and 'Hadees'
=
Scriptures Kuran to proclaim, to read. Kuran is a very very useful holy book to understand the Kuran correctly. The message acquired from God is known as 'Vahee'. All such vahees, combined together are called 'the Kuran'. If you want to search for religious life, read the Kuran. Prophet Muhommad has clearly stated that "there should be no compulsion of any type in matters of religion."
"Your duty or the duty of any Rasool (prophet) is to present your statement in clear words. Never mind if anybody, hearing it, wants to go away showing dislike."
"We accept that book which God has entrusted to us and we also respect that book which He has given to you. Your Allah, as well as ours, is the same. And we bow our head in front of that Allah only."
Muhommad Saheb has never used a sword to propagate his own religion. Nor had he invaded any Kabilā or a country. As for beliefs in religion, he had accepted everyone's freedom. They used to tell clearly: "God is one, and keeping faith in kindness and doing good acts are the keys of heaven."
The pilgrim of Haj should put on simple clothes and he may not kill even an ant, nor to pick even a leaf, nor he keeps any weapon in his possession; then only it would be called an honest or true pilgrimage.
The canto of the Kuran is called 'Sura' (brick). There are, in all, 114 surās. On the brick (Sura) of the Koran the edifice of Islam is erected. The Suras of the Koran are small or big. In the biggest Sura, there are 226 Ayats, whereas in the smallest one, there are only 3 Ayats. These Ayats are full of music of the poetry. Being composed in the greatest and the loveliest style from a literary point of view, the Koran is the best piece of art.
