The **Quran** (also spelled **Qur’an** or **Koran**) is the **holy book of Islam**, believed by Muslims to be the **literal word of God (Allah)** as revealed to the **Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)** over a period of approximately **23 years** (610–632 CE) through the angel **Gabriel (Jibril)**.
Key Aspects of the Quran:
- Divine Revelation
- Muslims believe the Quran is the final and complete revelation from Allah, superseding previous scriptures like the Torah (Tawrat) and the Gospel (Injeel).
- It was revealed in Classical Arabic and is considered inimitable in its linguistic and literary excellence (I’jaz al-Quran).
2. **Structure & Content** – Consists of **114 chapters (Surahs)**, varying in length. – The Surahs are divided into **verses (Ayahs)**, totaling **6,236** (or **6,348** depending on counting methods). – The Quran covers: – **Theology** (belief in Allah, angels, prophets, scriptures, Judgment Day, divine decree). – **Guidance for life** (morality, justice, family laws, charity, worship). – **Stories of past prophets** (e.g., Noah, Moses, Jesus, Abraham). – **Warnings and glad tidings** (Paradise for the righteous, Hell for the wicked). 3. **Preservation** – The Quran has been **memorized (Hifz)** and **written down** since the time of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). – It remains **unchanged** in its original Arabic text, as Allah promised to protect it (**Quran 15:9**). 4. **Recitation & Translation** – The Quran is **recited in Arabic** during prayers (Salah). – While translations exist in many languages, only the **Arabic version** is considered the true Quran. 5. **Role in Islam** – Primary source of Islamic law (**Sharia**) and spirituality. – Guides Muslims in **faith, worship, ethics, and social conduct**. ### **Difference from Other Scriptures** – Unlike the Bible, which includes multiple books by different authors, the Quran is a **single book** revealed to **one prophet**. – Muslims believe it is **free from human alteration**, unlike previous scriptures which they believe were modified over time.
