ذٰ لِكَ الۡڪِتٰبُ لَا رَيۡبَ ۛۚ ۖ فِيۡهِ ۛۚ هُدًى لِّلۡمُتَّقِيۡنَۙ الَّذِيۡنَ يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِالۡغَيۡبِ وَ يُقِيۡمُوۡنَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنٰهُمۡ يُنۡفِقُوۡنَۙ
"This is the Book of Allah, there is no doubt in it; it is a guidance for the pious, for those who believe in the existence of that which is beyond the reach of perception,4 who establish Prayer and spend out of what We have provided them". (Surah 2. Al-Baqarah, Verse 2)Since revelation of Qur'ān on to last of the Prophets of Allah, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and institution of the religion of Islam, more and more non Muslims are being attracted to Islam and over 1.5 billion Muslims constitute the second largest (and ever expanding) religions other than Christianity.

Although Qur'ān can be read and understood by merely reading its translation from its original language of Arabic, one needs to read its exegesis / tafseer / explanation of each verse so that one is clear about the reference to the context under which a particular verse (called ayat in Arabic) was revealed for better comprehension and understanding. For sometimes mere translation of a verse may lead the reader astray, and which in fact is a reality wherein a lot of non Muslims misquoting the verses which apparently may give a meaning which is not intended since it is being read out of the context.
