The Quran, often spelled as Qur'an or Koran, is the holy book of Islam, believed by Muslims to be the word of God as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) through the Angel Gabriel (Jibril in Arabic). It is considered the ultimate source of guidance for Muslims in matters of faith, worship, and daily life.
The Quran is divided into 114 chapters called surahs, which vary in length. These surahs cover various aspects of life, including theology, morality, law, guidance for personal conduct, and stories of previous prophets and civilizations. The Quran is written in classical Arabic and is revered by Muslims worldwide.
Muslims regard the Quran as the final and complete revelation of God, superseding all previous scriptures, including the Torah and the Bible. It is recited and memorized by millions of Muslims worldwide, and its verses are studied for their profound meanings and guidance.
Translations of the Quran are available in numerous languages to make its teachings accessible to people around the world, though Arabic remains the language in which it was revealed and is considered the most authentic form of the text.
