The Koranns’ Summary

The Qur’an (al-Qur’an), likewise called Qur’an or Koran, is the most significant religious text of Islam, and Muslims consider it a revelation from God (Allah). Scholars consider it to be the neatest work of Arabic literature. It comprises 114 chapters, with each chapter consisting of many verses, and it can only be spoken in Arabic during prayers. Many stories in the Koran are similar to those recounted in the Biblical and apocryphal scriptures.
The primary focuses of the Koran are of Allah (or God) and Muhammad the prophet Spiritual Importance is attributed to the name of The Prophet Muhammad, contending that although he was human, he was not born but was willed into existence to fulfill his spiritual role.
The Koran denies the Christian doctrine that Jesus Christ is equal to God, accepting that he was an enlightened prophet, analogous to Muhammad, and that his story paramount to the study of Islam and mankind’s relationship with Allah.

Muslims accept that Allah orally declared the Koran to Muhammad, through the archangel Gabriel. They believe the scriptures were given to him incrementally over 23 years, boning in the month of Ramadan, when Muhammad was 40; and ending in 632 upon his death. Muslims consider the Koran as Muhammad’s most important miracle; as validation of his prophethood; and the apex of an array of spiritual directives commencing with those declared to Adam, including the Torah (Tawrah), the Psalms (Zabur) and the Gospel (Injil).
Muslims do not regard the Koran as being divinely Inspired, but the actual word of God. According to tradition, several of Muhammad’s associates worked as scribes, writing the revelations, and assembled the written down and memorized parts of the Koran soon after his death. Caliph Ullmancreated a standard version, now identified as the Uthmanic codex, which is widely recognized as the archetype of the Quran today.

They hall a person who memorizes the entire Koran a hafiz (‘memorize’). During Ramadan, Muslims generally recite the entire Koran during tarawih prayers. To deduce what a specific Koranic verse means, most Muslims rely on exegesis, or interpretations. Many Muslim scholars on the Koran have asserted that the Koran can be relevant in any language and for any society, but acknowledges that it loses much of its substance when translated to a language other than Arabic.
