The Holy Quran القرآن الكريمAssalamu-Alaikum (السلام عليكم) Welcome......

The Qur’ān (Arabic: القرآن al-qur’ān, literally "the recitation"; also sometimes transliterated as Quran, Koran, or Al-Qur’an) is the central religious text of Islam.

Muslims believe the Qur’an to be the word of God
that was given to Muhammad, by the archangel
Gabriel,over a period of twenty-three years
until his death.
It is believed that Gabriel spoke to Muhammad,
in the cave of the mountain of Hira, the first words
of the Qur’an:
“ Read... in the name of God Who made man from a drop of blood...
God is Most Rewarding... He Who taught man to write with pen... and taught man what he knew not. ”

The Qur’an (chapter 96:1 - 5)

Muslims believe the Qur’an to be the book of divine guidance and direction for mankind and consider the text in its original Arabic
to be the literal word of God and view the Qur’an as God’s
final revelation to humanity.

It has been written and read only in Arabic for more
than 1,400 years. But, because many Muslims around
the world do not understand Arabic, the meaning of
the Qur’an is also given in other languages,
so that readers can understand better what the
Arabic words in the Qur’an mean. These books are
like dictionaries to
the Qur’an — they are not read as part of the religion
of Islam, to replace the Arabic Qur’an.
