The Holy Quran

The Holy Quran, regarded as the divine revelation in Islam, is the sacred scripture believed by Muslims to be the literal word of God (Allah) revealed to Prophet Muhammad through the Angel Gabriel over 23 years. Comprising 114 chapters (Surahs) and 6,348 verses (Ayahs), it serves as the ultimate guide for faith, ethics, law, and spiritual growth. The Quran’s literary excellence in Arabic remains unparalleled, with its rhythmic prose and profound depth considered a miracle (I'jaz) that transcends human capability.

Organized thematically rather than chronologically, it addresses diverse subjects: monotheism, moral conduct, historical accounts of prophets, social justice, and prophecies. Key teachings emphasize compassion, justice, and the accountability of human actions in the afterlife. Muslims worldwide recite and memorize its verses daily, preserving its text unchanged since the 7th century.

The Quran’s compilation began during Prophet Muhammad’s lifetime, with written fragments later standardized under Caliph Uthman to eliminate discrepancies. Its preservation combines oral tradition (Hifz) and meticulous manuscript transcription, ensuring textual integrity—a phenomenon Muslims attribute to divine protection.

Beyond religious practice, the Quran has shaped Islamic art, literature, and legal systems, influencing civilizations globally. It remains a cornerstone of Islamic identity, uniting over a billion believers in worship and ethical living. As Allah declares in the Quran: “We have revealed the Reminder, and We will surely preserve it” (15:9).
