Muslims believe that God revealed books to His messengers as proof for mankind and as guidance for them. Among these books is the Quran, which God revealed to the Prophet Muhammad . God has guaranteed the Quran’s protection from any corruption or distortion. God has said:
" Indeed, We have sent down the Quran, and surely We will guard it (from corruption). " (Quran, 15:9)
The Quran, the last revealed word of God, is the primary source of every Muslim’s faith and practice. It deals with all the subjects which concern human beings: wisdom, doctrine, worship, transactions, law, etc., but its basic theme is the relationship between God and His creatures. At the same time, it provides guidelines and detailed teachings for a just society, proper human conduct, and an equitable economic system.
The Quran was revealed to all humanity not just Muslims.
Ever since the Quran was revealed, fourteen centuries ago, no one has been able to produce a single chapter like the chapters of the Quran in their beauty, eloquence, splendor, wise legislation, true information, true prophecy, and other perfect attributes. Also, note that the smallest chapter in the Quran (Chapter 108) is only ten words, yet no one has ever been able to meet this challenge, then or today. Some of the disbelieving Arabs who were enemies of the Prophet Muhammad tried to meet this challenge to prove that Muhammad was not a true prophet, but they failed to do so. This failure was despite the fact that the Quran was revealed in their own language and dialect and that the Arabs at the time of Muhammad were a very eloquent people who used to compose beautiful and excellent poetry, still read and appreciated today.

I can help u here a bit---If a man among u seem to be very relegious but does not know how to control his tongue and deceives his own heart, that man's relegion is in vain.
Next then what is relegion???--- pure relegion and undefiled before God is to visit the fatherless,and widows in their grief and to to keep oneself without any spot from the world.
Now u youeself can take an inventory and find out for u'r self.

basic teachings usually ask you to do your best and you will find peace in your self help from an outside source ,a higher power, is generally recomended, whole commitment is nessesary, and practice and the search. only one teaches that we are completely lost and need a savior and we personally cannot save our selves even with a little help, faith in Christ. seek it out with an honest mind

Peace!
