CONCLUSION





                          hen people inquire about their religion, most
                          people say that they are Muslims. However,
            W many of them have not read the Qur'an, the

            We have divided up the Qur'an so that you can recite it
            to humanity at intervals, and We have sent it down little
            by little. (Surat al-Isra': 105-106)
            The Qur'an is unique, and therefore far superior to any other
