The holy book of islam is alQuran, where the muslims really believe it from their heart and
people really get the main ideas about islam from the holy Quran. There were many wars
and problem based on the Quran to established world wide. Many prophets and real
believers spared their life to spread islam and Quran. There are so many heart grabbing
laws and stories which are written in the holy book Quran and which made many people to
convert from other religions. There were many versions of Quran made for publishing all
around the world and the cause for making many versions of Quran because the culture
could diffuse many regions. The holy book of Quran is one of the well known culture about
islam and because of the Quran it has made globally spread also for the population of
muslimwhichstandstoday.
