The holly qur'an

The Qur'an is the sacred book of Muslims who revealed God to Muhammad through the intermediary of the Angel Gabriel. Literally Qur'an means readings. But although there was referring to a book / book, Muslims refer to the Qur'an itself more on the words or phrases in it, not in physical form as a result of mold.
Muslims believe that the Quran delivered to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel. Own decline occurred gradually between the years 610 until 632 AD until his death Although the Qur'an more transferred through memorization, but in addition to many followers of Islam in those days that are listed on a bone, stones and leaves.
Muslims believe that the Qur'an that there are currently exactly the same as that conveyed to Muhammad, then presented again to his followers, who memorized and wrote the contents of the Qur'an. In general, the scholars agreed that the version of the Qur'an that exists today, was first compiled during the Caliphate of Uthman ibn Affan (Caliph of Islam to-3) which ranged between 650 to 656 AD Uthman bin Affan and then send copies of this compilation version to the rest of the period of Islamic rule and ordered that all versions were destroyed in addition to uniformity. [22]
The Qur'an has 114 suras, and some 6236 verses (there are differences depending on how counted). [23] Almost all Muslims memorize at least some part of the whole Qur'an, those who memorize the entire Qur'an is known as hafiz (plural: huffaz). Achieving this is not something that is rare, it is believed that currently there are millions penghapal the Qur'an throughout the world. In Indonesia there are competitions Musabaqah Tilawatil Qur'an is read Al-Quran competition with Tartil or good and true. Who read called Qari (male) or Qariah (female).
Muslims also believe that the Quran only in Arabic. The translation of the Qur'an into different languages is not the Qur'an itself. Therefore, translation only has standing as a commentary on the Qur'an or the results of the search for the meaning of the Quran, but not the Qur'an itself.
