IT IS THE SUPREME DISCOURSE
They have been guided to the purest of speeches and guided to the
praiseworthy path. (Qur'an, 22:24)
Allah has sent down the Supreme Discourse, a Book consistent in
its frequent repetitions. The skins of those who fear their Lord
tremble at it and then their skins and hearts yield softly to the
remembrance of Allah. That is Allah's guidance by which He
guides whoever He wills. And no one can guide those whom Allah
misguides. (Qur'an, 39:23)

IT DISCRIMINATES BETWEEN
RIGHT AND WRONG
Previously, as guidance for mankind, and He has sent down the
Criterion (of right and wrong). Those who reject Allah's Signs will
have a terrible punishment. Allah is Almighty, Exactor of Revenge.
(Qur'an, 3:4)
Blessed be He Who has sent down the Criterion to His servant so
that he can be a warner to all beings. (Qur'an, 25:1)

IT IS A GUIDE TO THE RIGHT PATH
The Jews and the Christians will never be pleased with you until
you follow their religion. Say, 'Allah's guidance is the true
guidance.' If you were to follow their whims and desires, after the
knowledge that has come to you, you would find no protector or
helper against Allah. (Qur'an, 2:120)
The month of Ramadan is the one in which the Qur'an was sent
down as guidance for mankind, with Clear Signs containing
guidance and discrimination. Any of you who are resident for the
month should fast it. But any of you who are ill or on a journey
should fast a number of other days. Allah desires ease for you; He
does not desire difficulty for you. You should complete the number
of days and proclaim Allah's greatness for the guidance He has
given you so that hopefully you will be thankful. (Qur'an, 2:185)
