About Quran: A short and brief introduction
to the Holy Quran (Qoran, Koran or Kuran)
To Muslims, or followers of
Islam, the Quran is the actual Word of God, it is the verbal revelation to His
Messenger, and it was written down as it was revealed to him. While was
still alive, Muhammad (pbuh), as instructed and commanded by God, arranged and
organized Quran in chapters and verses in the same way we find it today.
Throughout history, there
has never been an area in the whole world that has been colonized by a foreign
power like the Middle East. Yet neither colonization nor people could change
even one word in the original Arabic text since it was originally
written. Nothing has been taken out and nothing has been added to it. It is
obvious that we can not say that the Quran stayed intact -without a single
change- all these years because of Muslims, people, presidents or kings, and
most certainly not by the foreign invaders, rather, because of its holiness and
by the power of ALLAH.
The Quran we have today anywhere in the world in any
language, is the same 1400 years old Quran, which you will find in the early
hand written originals in the museum in Saudi Arabia. It has 114 chapters with
the same number of verses.
