The 114 buildings (suras) of Qur’an City

 

“…Rabb! Build for me a house with You in Janna…” – 66:11


The Qur’an is not just a book, but a library of life having its own 114 suwer (plural of sura) which have a thread that runs through all of them exhorting the human being to reach his full potential according to Divinity’s version of success.

The Qur’an maps the journey of learning and teaching of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) – the most awesome man who walked the earth and a role model for every human being who wishes to reach his personal best. We’ve mapped it as a City with 114 buildings in 19 suburbs surrounding the City Centre to enable it to be studied in byte size sections.

Explore Qur’an City with us as we visit each suburb and focus on the buildings therein to give ourselves an overview and understanding of His Guidance.
