It contains regulations and recommendations about all aspects of life and references to the Hereafter. Being so important, the Quran must be read, written, recited correctly and clearly and understood, so as not to create any sort of ambiguity or misunderstanding whatsoever. It is mandatory upon human beings to act upon the teachings of the Quran to live a successful life in this world and to get salvation in the hereafter.
