There is no one answer to this question as it depends on interpretation. Generally Muslims believe that the Quran contains many ayahs (verses) that discuss scientific phenomena and that it is therefore a source of knowledge. Some Muslims believe that the Quran is fully consistent with science while others believe that it contains scientific errors.


the first verse of the holy quran


the last verse of the holy quran was revealed in



The last verse of the Quran was revealed in the city of Medina during the final days of the Prophet Muhammad's life. The verse which is often referred to as the "Verse of the Sword" is believed to have been revealed in response to a question posed by a group of Muslims who were preparing to go to war against the pagans of Mecca. The verse is seen as endorsing violence in self-defense and has been used by Muslim scholars to justify armed conflict throughout history. However it should be noted that the Quran also contains many verses which call for peace and tolerance and that Muslims are only permitted to fight in self-defense or in defense of the oppressed. Therefore the last verse of the Quran should not be seen as a blanket endorsement of violence but rather as a specific instruction for Muslims who find themselves in a situation where they must choose between fighting and submitting to oppression.
