The Qur’an

Open Qur’an shown as geometric pages

The Qur’an is the holy book of Islam.
Muslims believe it is the word of God (Allah), revealed to the Prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel over a period of about 23 years (610–632 CE).
It is considered the final and complete revelation in a long tradition that includes earlier prophets such as Abraham, Moses, and Jesus.

The Qur’an is written and recited in classical Arabic.
While translations exist to help people understand its meaning, Muslims regard the original Arabic text as the Qur’an itself.
Recitation of the Qur’an is an important act of worship and is performed both in daily prayers and independently.

The Qur’an addresses a wide range of topics, including:
-Belief in one God
-Moral conduct and personal responsibility
-Worship and spiritual life
-Social justice, charity, and compassion
-Guidance for family and community life

Rather than being arranged chronologically, the Qur’an is divided into 114 chapters (surahs) of varying length.
Its verses (ayahs) combine instruction, reflection, stories of earlier peoples, and reminders about ethical living.
For Muslims, the Qur’an serves as a source of guidance, not only for religious practice but also for living a meaningful and responsible life
