The Major Themes, Topics And Messages Of The Quran

Divine revelation is God's message to humanity, delivered through his prophets, to worship him and live righteously.

Divine revelation -which is what God revealed to his prophets, and ordered them to convey His words onto their people ”Allah’s servants”, to worship only Him and live righteously:

Here we will learn the following:

What are the Major Topics of the Qur’an:

The Holy Quran includes many topics, most notably:

1- Faith Topics:

The Quran came to complement and complete the previous heavenly laws so that human beings would not have an argument against God after that.

2- Heaven and Hell Topics:

There are many Quranic verses that talk about Heaven and Hell, and Muslim scholars have separated them for more than 1400 years in an infinite number of books. The end result is better for the believers, and in contrast to that, we find that fire is the inevitable fate of those who disobeyed and deceived.

3- Legislative Topics:

It deals with the rulings on which Muslims rely in their lives, whether explicitly, or through man-made laws derived from the Quranic texts, and the legislation of the Quran is one of the very important  sciences, from which thousands of books and volumes emanated and were a guide to many laws.

4- Worship Topics:

The Quran speaks of prayer, which is worship that takes precedence over all acts of worship. God Almighty said:

“إنَّ الصَّلَاةَ تَنْهَى عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ وَلَذِكْرُ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ”

Recite, [O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish prayer. Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater. And Allah knows that which you do.

Quran 29:45 

Likewise, every worship has main goals, such as fasting and pilgrimage, for example.

5- Miracle topics:

Miracle is one of the most prominent topics of the Holy Quran, and this proves the challenge of the Lord – Glory be to Him – to the worlds by not being able to come up with something like it. 

Among them are the numerical miracles in the Holy Quran, the legislative miracle, the rhetorical miracle, as well as the scientific miracle in various fields, whether medicine, physics, chemistry, etc., as well as informing of the unseen, in the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful:

سنُريهم آياتنا في الآفاق وفي أنفسهم حتى يتبين لهم أنه الحق””

We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth.  

Quran 41:53

6- Narrative Topics:

The narrative topics of the Noble Quran come at the forefront of interests for a large segment of the public, and the Quran did not include these stories in vain, but rather each of them has a purpose and a lesson to be learned from. The Companions of the Cave, the story of Salih’s camel, and others.
