The Koran is the way of life for the Muslim people. It states in there the ideal goals and virtues to follow through life. “The majority of Muslims (Sunni) believe that the Koran is the eternal, uncreated word of God, and the Shia’ite believe that it is created” (Mutei 207). With this in place you can obviously figure that there are different interpretations of the word. The Koran states that it is a “copy of the original Book of teaching, which is preserved in Paradise” (Mutei 208). “Muslims believe that it is from the mother book in paradise that all books sent down to the Prophets were derived. And the Islamic revelation is progressive and points to the coming of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam (Mutei 208). Unlike the other sectarian prophets who were sent to their respective nations, “Muhammad was the seal of the prophets who was called as a messenger to all humanity” (Mutei). So therefore the Koran that was sent to him is not for a particular people but for all humanity. The Koran states “Unbelievers are those who declare: “God is the Messiah, the son of Mary” (Koran 5. The Table). These unbelievers ultimately make up the Christians and Jews, whose prophet’s revelations were corrupted. According to Islamic doctrine, Islam was the primordial religion of mankind, professed by Adam. At some point, a religious split occurred, and God began sending prophets to bring his revelations to the people. In this view, Abraham, Moses, Hebrew
