Canonical Scriptures

Canonical scriptures are the officially recognized and authoritative texts of a religious tradition, believed to be divinely inspired and central to faith and practice. They serve as the foundational writings that define beliefs, morality, and worship. Different religions have their own canon—for example, the Bible in Christianity, the Quran in Islam, or the Vedas in Hinduism. These scriptures are preserved, studied, and revered by followers and often marked by a process of selection and validation over time, providing spiritual guidance and a sense of identity within the faith community.
