The Qur'an is Islam's central religious text, held by Muslims to be a divine revelation delivered to the Prophet Muhammad. As the primary text of the tradition it is rated at this atlas's top tier, meaning it is the authoritative record of what the text itself says, not independent confirmation of a historical or theological claim made about it. Use it to establish what a verse actually says and where it appears. Its interpretation varies across schools and centuries of exegesis, so a claim about how a particular verse is understood in practice is better drawn from a dedicated scholarly commentary such as this atlas's other Quranic sources rather than the bare text alone.
