The Koran is the Islamic holy book containing teachings and guidance. Which descriptor best identifies this text?

• A. Islamic holy book
• B. A collection of myths
• C. A travel narrative
• D. A manifesto

Answer: (A)

The Koran functions as sacred scripture for Muslims. It is believed to be the revealed word of God, intended to guide belief, worship, and daily conduct. That makes it an Islamic holy book—central, revered, and authoritative in religious life. It isn’t a collection of myths, a travel narrative, or a political manifesto; those labels would describe stories for entertainment, journeys, or political programs, none of which capture the text’s role as divine guidance and spiritual authority.
