- Watch the top videos of the week here*Recitation by Sheikh Yusuf from Egypt* Al-Qura'n is an Arabic word, literally meaning 'reading' and 'recitation'. Al-Quran is the word of Allah Azza wa Jal, the one and only One true God, and none has the right to be worshiped but Him. The Quran is a guide and beacon for humanity till the end of time. It is not bound by time, not bound by race or nationality. The Quran is for all humanity, for the past, the present, and for all times to come.
