About the Qur’an
A brief overview of what the Qur’an is and why Muslims consider it sacred
The Qur’an is the holy book of Islam, believed by Muslims to be the literal word of God revealed to Prophet Muhammad through the Angel Gabriel over a period of 23 years.
The Qur’an was preserved through both written records and mass memorization (hifz). It has remained unchanged since its revelation over 1,400 years ago.
While both are religious scriptures, the Qur’an is believed by Muslims to be the unchanged word of God in its original Arabic, whereas the Bible has been translated and edited over centuries.
Many scholars point to verses in the Qur’an that describe natural phenomena consistent with modern scientific discoveries, including embryology, the expansion of the universe, and the water cycle.
