The Holy Qur'an

The Qur'an (English pronunciation: /kɔrˈɑːn/[n 1] kor-AHN; Arabic: القرآن‎ al-qurʾān, IPA: [qurˈʔaːn],[n 2] literally meaning "the recitation"), also transliterated Quran, Koran, Al-Coran, Coran, Kuran, and Al-Qur'an, is the central religious text of Islam, which Muslims consider the verbatim word of God (Arabic: الله‎, Allah). It is regarded widely as the finest piece of literature in the Arabic language.

The Qur'an is composed of verses (Ayah) that make up 114 chapters (suras) of unequal length which are classified either as Meccan (المكية) or Medinan (المدينية) depending upon the place and time of their revelation. Muslims believe the Quran to be verbally revealed through angel Jibrīl (Gabriel) from God to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) gradually over a period of approximately 23 years beginning in 610 CE, when Muhammad was 40, and concluding in 632 CE, the year of his death.

Muslims believe that the Qur'an is different from all other books in ways that are impossible for any other book to be, such that similar texts cannot be written by humans. These include both mundane and miraculous claims.   Scholars of Islam believe that its form is unique and of a fashion that cannot be written by humans. They also claim it contains accurate prophecy and that no other book does.  The Qur'an itself challenges any who disagree with its divine origin to produce a similar text of a miraculous nature both in form and in content.  In Over 1400 years NONE have been able to do so.
