The Qur'an

The Qur'an is the holy book of Islam, believed by Muslims to be the literal word of God as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad through the Angel Gabriel. Composed in Arabic, it serves as a guide for moral conduct, law, and spiritual guidance. The Qur'an is divided into chapters called Surahs, which vary in length, and addresses various themes including faith, ethics, worship, and the nature of humanity. It is recited in daily prayers and studied for its theological and moral teachings, playing a central role in the lives of over a billion Muslims worldwide.
