The Holy Quran is the central religious verbal text of Islam. The Quran is the verbal book of divine guidance and direction for mankind, and is the original Arabic verbal text and the final revelation of God.
The Quran was repeatedly revealed from Allah to Muhammad (pbuh) orally through the Angel Jibril (Gabriel) over a period of approximately twenty-three years, beginning in 610 CE, when he was forty, and concluding in 632 CE, the year of his death.
The Quran was memorized, recited and written down by Muhammad's (pbuh) companions after every revelation dictated by Muhammad (pbuh). Most of Muhammad's (pbuh) companions, tens of thousands, memorized the Qur’an by heart, repeatedly recited in front of Muhammad (pbuh) for his approval or the approval of other Sahabas (Companions) Muhammad (pbuh) approved and also compiled it in written form while he was alive.
The Quran is the main miracle of Muhammad (pbuh), as proof of his prophethood, and as the culmination of a series of divine messages which started with the messages revealed to Adam, regarded in Islam as the first prophet, and continued with the Suhuf Ibrahim (Scrolls of Abraham), the Tawrat (Torah or Pentateuch) of Moses, the Zabur (Tehillim or Book of Psalms) of David, and the Injil (Gospel) of Jesus.
The Quran familiarizes with major narratives recounted in Jewish and Christian scriptures, summarizing some, dwelling at length on others, and presenting alternative accounts and interpretations of events.
The Quran is a book of guidance, offering detailed accounts of specific historical events, and emphasizing the moral significance of an event over its narrative sequence.
The Quran is a book of divine guidance and direction for humanity and its text is in its original Arabic and the literal word of God, word for word, letter for letter, revealed to Muhammad (pbuh) through the angel Gabriel over a period of twenty-three years and is God's final revelation to humanity.
The text of the Quran consists of 114 chapters of varying lengths, each known as a sura. Chapters are classed as Meccan or Medinan, depending on where the verses were revealed.
Chapter titles are derived from a name or quality discussed in the text, or from the first letters or words of the sura.
Muhammad (pbuh), on God's command, gave the chapters their names. Generally, longer chapters appear earlier in the Quran, while the shorter ones appear later. The chapter arrangement is thus not connected to the sequence of revelation. Each sura except the ninth starts with the Bism ilah El Rahman El Raheem, an Arabic phrase meaning (“In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful”). There are, however, still 114 occurrences of the Bism ilah El Rahman El Raheem in the Qur’an, due to its presence in verse 27:30 as the opening of Solomon's letter to the Queen of Sheba.
