The Holy Quran is the central religious text of Islam, believed by Muslims to be the word of God as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel. It is written in Arabic and consists of 114 chapters, known as Surahs, which vary in length and cover various aspects of life, law, and spirituality. Muslims regard the Quran as a guide for personal conduct and a source of law. It is recited in prayers and memorized by many believers. The text emphasizes themes such as compassion, justice, and the importance of faith, making it a foundational element of Islamic belief and practice.
