The Qur’an[1] (Arabic: al-qur’?n, literally “the recitation”; also sometimes transliterated as Qur’an, Koran, Alcoran or Al-Qur’an) is the central religious text of Islam. Muslims believe the Quran to be the book of divine guidance and direction for mankind, and consider the original Arabic text to be the final revelation of God. Islam holds that the Qur’an was revealed to Muhammad by the angel Jibr?l (Gabriel) over a period of 23 years. The Qur’an purports to be the main miracle of Muhammad, thus its inimitability validates his status as a prophet.[1]
The Qur’an itself expresses that it is the book of guidance. Therefore it rarely offers detailed accounts of historical events; the text instead typically placing emphasis on the moral significance of an event rather than its narrative sequence. It does not describe natural facts in a scientific manner but teaches that natural and supernatural events are signs of God.[2]
