(/kɔːrˈɑːn/ kor-AHN; Arabic: القرآن al-Qurʾān,
literally meaning “the recitation”
also romanized Qur’an or Koran
.
*the quran is the ‘central religious text’ of ‘islam’, which ‘muslims’ believe to be a ‘revelation’ from ‘god’ (allah)*
.
(it is widely regarded as the finest work in classical arabic literature)
(the quran is divided into chapters (surah in arabic), which are then divided into verses (ayah))
(Muslims believe that the Quran was verbally revealed by God to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel (Jibril), gradually over a period of approximately 23 years, beginning on 22 December 609 CE, when Muhammad was 40, and concluding in 632, the year of his death)
(muslims regard the ‘quran’ as the most important miracle of Muhammad, a proof of his prophethood, and the culmination of a series of divine messages that started with the messages revealed to ‘Adam’ and ended with ‘Muhammad’)
(the word “Quran” occurs some 70 times in the text of the Quran, although different names and words are also said to be references to the ‘Quran’)
(according to the traditional narrative, several companions of Muhammad served as scribes and were responsible for writing down the revelations)
(shortly after Muhammad’s death, the Quran was compiled by his companions who wrote down and memorized parts of it)
(these codices had differences that motivated the Caliph ‘Uthman’ to establish a standard version now known as Uthman’s codex, which is generally considered the archetype of the ‘Quran’ known today)
(there are, however, variant readings, with mostly minor differences in meaning)
(the Quran assumes familiarity with major narratives recounted in the Biblical scriptures)
(it summarizes some, dwells at length on others and, in some cases, presents alternative accounts and interpretations of events)
(the ‘Quran’ describes itself as a book of guidance for mankind 2:185)
(it sometimes offers detailed accounts of specific historical events, and it often emphasizes the moral significance of an event over its narrative sequence)
(the ‘Quran’ is used along with authentic and reliable hadith to interpret sharia law)
(during prayers, the ‘Quran’ is recited only in ‘Arabic’)
(someone who has memorized the entire ‘quran’ is called a “hafiz”)
(Quranic verse (ayah) is sometimes recited with a special kind of elocution reserved for this purpose, called “tajwid”)
(during the month of Ramadan, Muslims typically complete the recitation of the whole Quran during tarawih prayers)
(in order to extrapolate the meaning of a particular quranic verse, most muslims rely on ‘exegesis’, or “tafsir”)
