The Qur'an is the sacred book of the Muslim religion, believed in the Islamic faith to be the word of God, or Allah, as revealed by the Angel Gabriel to Muhammad, the last prophet of the Judeo-Christian God. Thus, the book is considered divine. The Qur'an is to Islam as Torah is to Judaism, or the New Testament is to Christianity. This is an English translation of the Arabic text enclosed.
Most of the Qur'an (also sometimes spelled as Koran) was written during Muhammad’s lifetime. The rest is thought to have been written directly after his death from the notes of scribes. It is estimated Muhammad had over 50 scribes taking down his speeches during the 7th century CE. However, in most sects of Islam it is believed that the Qur'an exists whole and unchanged in present day and is not an interpretation of Muhammad’s speeches, but a transcript.
Therefore, the Qur'an is the word of God and sets forth the way in which Muslims must live in the world. Because the Arabic originally used was soon lost to other derivative languages, most Muslims see translation of the Qur’an as interpretations of the original. Muslim scholars go back to the original language to settle disputes regarding interpretation.
Some Muslim sects interpret the Qur'an, while others take each word as the word of God and thus indisputable. In all Muslim sects, it is forbidden to destroy a Qur'an or to deface one. Each copy, whether in the original language or not has an inherent sanctity.
However, there are disputes about the interpretation of the Qur'an, and these disputes tend to divide various Muslim sects. Certain things are agreed upon. Muhammad is the last prophet of God, who was divinely inspired through the Angel Gabriel. His words are God’s words.
