The Holy Quran is the Holy Book or the Scripture of the Muslims. It lays down for them the law and commandments, codes for their social and moral behaviour, and contains a comprehensive religious philosophy. The language of the Quran is Arabic. It is a compilation of the verbal revelations given to the Holy Prophet Muhammad(sa) over a period of twenty three years.
The Holy Quran is divided into 114 Chapters and each Chapter consists of individual verses. The Chapters (called Surah in Arabic) are of varying lengths, some consisting of a few lines while others run for many pages. The text of the Holy Quran has remained unchanged over the past 1500 years. The millions of copies of the Quran circulating in the world today are all identical down to a single letter. And this is not strange since God says in the Holy Quran that He Himself will guard this book:
"Surely it is We Who have revealed the Exposition, and surely it is We Who are its guardians" (15:10)
Who is Prophet Muhammad (Whom the Quran is revealed upon)Muhammad was born approximately 570 CE (Year of the Elephant) in Mecca.[1] He was the son of Abdullah ibn Abd al-Muttalib and Amina bint Wahb. His father Abdullah was the son of Quraysh tribal leader Abd al-Muttalib ibn Hashim, and he died a few months before Muhammad's birth. His mother Amina died when he was six, leaving Muhammad an orphan. He would periodically seclude himself in a mountain cave named Hira for several nights of prayer. When he was 40, Muhammad reported being visited by Gabriel in the cave[1][9] and receiving his first revelation from God.
Who is Angle Jebreel or Gabrial Jibrīl, also spelled Jabrāʾīl or Jibreel, in Islam, the archangel who acts as intermediary between God and humans and as the bearer of revelation to the prophets, most notably to Muhammad. The Angel Jibril's main responsibility is to communicate the Words of Allah to His prophets. It is Jibril who revealed the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad. This translation of the Quran is done by Abdallah Yusuf Ali. Ali was born in Bombay, British India, the son of Yusuf Ali Allahbuksh (died 1891), also known as Khan Bahadur Yusuf Ali, originally a Shi'i Isma'ili in the Dawoodi Bohra tradition, who later became a Sunni[3] and who turned his back on the traditional business-based occupation of his community and instead became a Government Inspector of Police.Customer Reviews
