The Quran and Quran Parts

 The Book of Allah 

The Qur'an is the book of Muslims, that is, the book of the followers of Islam. Islam is a religion that originated among the Arabs - at a time when people were mostly confined to the Arabian Peninsula - in the early seventh century. God revealed the Qur'an to our Lord Muhammad by the power of the angel Gabriel. It happened partly in Mecca, its birthplace, and partly in Medina, where it succeeded in establishing a state in a stateless tribal society. This message was revealed in Arabic, the language of the people from which it was started, although in the end it was for all humanity. The Qur'an specifically mentions that Muhammad was the messenger of all mankind, and that he was the last messenger sent. Therefore, the Qur'an is the last message to nullify and restore the fundamental religion that God ordained for Jews, Christians and Muslims. Today, there are more than one billion Muslims in the world, and they make up one-fifth of the world's population. For all Muslim societies, their language and wherever they live, the Qur'an is their holy book.

Basics

The first thing to understand about the Qur'an is its form. The Arabic word "Qur'an" literally means "recitation" and "recitation". Similarly, the Qur'an is recited orally and written in book form. The real power of the Qur'an lies in oral recitation, where it is intended to be read aloud and in accents, but the verses are still copied on materials available to help memorize and preserve them, and Sorted by A book. Especially at the institutional later stage. The Qur'an was not intended to tell a historical story, therefore, the Qur'an should not be seen as a textbook like the book of Genesis. The Arabic book named after the Qur'an is almost of the New Testament. In most editions it consists of about 600 pages.

Contrary to the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, the Qur'an came from the mouth of a man who recited from the angel Gabriel. On the other hand, both the Jewish and Christian Bibles are collections of many books written by a large number of people, and differ in their status as revelations.

What is the arrangement of the Qur'an?

The Quran has 114 sections or Surahs of unequal length. Each chapter is called a surah in Arabic and each sentence or sentence of the Qur'an is called a verse, which is literally a symbol. Like the Bible, the Qur'an is divided into separate units, as indicated by the verses in English. These verses are not standard in terms of length or meters, and since each of them does not begin with man, but with God. Each is a separate verb with a closed meaning, or "sign", as indicated by the word verse in Arabic. The shortest surah has ten words, and the longest surah, the second in the text, has 6100 words. The first surah, al-Fatihah, is relatively short (twenty-five words). After the second surah, the length of the surah gradually decreases, although this is not a strict rule. In the last sixty suras, an area equal to the second place has been occupied. Some longer verses are longer than short suras. All words except one surah begin with "In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful." Each surah has a name and usually mentions a central slogan. For example, the longest surah, Surah Baqarah, or "The Cow" is named after the story of Moses, who commanded the Jews to offer a cow, which God begins by saying:

"And remember when Moses said to his people, God commanded you to slaughter a cow ..." (Qur'an 2:67).

Since the different chapters are of different lengths, after the death of the Prophet, the Qur'an was divided into about thirty equal parts by the scholars of the first century, each part is called a part in Arabic. This division of the Qur'an was done to memorize or read it in a more systematic way, and it has no effect on the original structure, they are just marks on the sides of the pages that indicate the part. In the month of Ramadan, Ramadan is usually recited one night every night, and the entire Qur'an is completed thirty days a month.

Translations of the Qur'an

The beginner would like to know some points about the translation of the Qur'an.

First: There is a difference between the Qur'an and its translation. From a Christian point of view, the Bible is the Bible, regardless of its language. But the translation of the Qur'an is not the word of God, because the Qur'an is the same Arabic words that God uttered, and Gabriel revealed to Muhammad. . The word of God is nothing but the Arabic Qur'an, as God Almighty says:

"Really, I revealed it as an Arabic Qur'an." (Qur'an 2: 2)
