The Quran is a book wisdom because it teaches man the purpose and duties of all beings; it is a book of shari'ah (law) because it informs man of the commands and prohibitions regarding both individual and social life.
It also contains "prayer, worshiping, commands and calls", which are essentials of shrai'ah, with all aspects.
The Quran is a book of dhikr which makes man gain at least ten rewards for its one letter when he reads it; it is also a book of knowledge in that it makes Allah known with His names and attributes.
The Quran was sent down in order to train the spirits of people, to perfect their hearts through belief and their minds through science and knowledge, to teach them true wisdom, to dissuade people from the wrong paths and to show them the way of guidance. True wisdom, that is, the real information about the purpose of the creation of both human beings and other creatures and their duties can be learned from the Quran because the verses of the Quran are the words of the Creator who created those beings.
The virtues and characteristics of the Quran are stated as follows in verses and hadiths:
"The Quran is a clear light, wise dhikr and the true way."
* "The Quran is a rope of Allah extended onto the earth from the sky."
* "The superiority of the Quran to other words is like the superiority of ar-Rahman to His creatures."
* "If a person reads a verse from the Book of Allah, it will be a luminous light for him on the Day of Judgment."
* "Make your houses luminous by performing prayers and reading the Quran."
