“Quran: A Book of Guidance for All People”

“The Holy Quran says over and over again many times, “Oh, humanity.” It does not always say, “Oh, Arabs.” It only says that when it is specifically addressing the Arabs, but more often the address is to the whole humanity. This book is a book for all the people. Believe it or not, the book revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be on him) is the only book that is a book to be read and followed. It is called the “Quran” because it is a book to be read and followed. “Quran” is from the Arabic root word which means “to read.” Quran means the book that is revealed for you to read, to recite, and to follow. This is the only book that is in the hands of people today that is a book given by God for us to read, to recite, and to follow.”(Imam W. Deen Mohammed, “Quran: A Book of Guidance for All People” May-27, 1977 – Bilalian News/Muslim Journal)
