The Quran

Book • 610

Muhammad (as the recipient of the revelation)

The Quran is the holy book of Islam, revealed to Muhammad over a period of 23 years.

It is organized into 114 chapters (surahs) and contains prayers, moral guidance, historical narratives, and promises of Paradise.

The Quran emphasizes monotheism, depicting God as living, eternal, omniscient, and omnipotent.

It includes stories of prophets such as Abraham, Noah, Moses, and Jesus, and recognizes Jews and Christians as 'People of the Book.

' The Quran was compiled by Muhammad's companions after his death and standardized by Caliph Uthman, resulting in the Uthmanic codex, which is the archetype of the Quran known today.
