Details: According to traditional Muslim beliefs, the word “Koran” is an ordinary Arabic verbal noun from the verb “kara'” – “he read”. According to modern researchers, the word “Koran” comes from the Syrian “Kenyan”, which means “reading, the lesson of Scripture.
The Koran, as a single book, was compiled after the death of Muhammad, before that it existed in the form of scattered written lists and the memory of the companions.
After the death of Muhammad, when 70 readers of the Koran, who knew the entire Koran by heart, died in one of the battles, there was a threat of losing the Koran. By the decision of the first Caliph Abu Bakr, all records were collected, all the verses of the Koran, but in the form of separate records. Sources from this period say that twelve years after the death of Muhammad, when Uthman became caliph, various records of the Qur’an were made by famous companions of the prophet, in partic,ular Abdallah ibn Masud and Ubayya ibn Kaab. Seven years after Uthman became caliph, he ordered the Qur’an to be systematized, relying primarily on the writings of Zayd, the companion of Muhammad hell. The seven ways of reading the canonical text of the Qur’an were established by Abu Bakr.
The Qur’an consists of 114 suras – chapters, arranged mainly in order from largest to smallest. In turn, each sura is divided into separate statements – verses.
All suras of the Qur’an, except for the ninth, beginning with the words: “In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful …” (in Arabic: “Bismi-LlahRahmanimani-R-rahim …”).
There are 77,934 words in the Quran. The longest sura, 2nd, has 286 verses, the shortest – 103, 108, and 110th – 3 verses. Ayahs from 1 to 68 words. The longest verse is 282 verses, 2 suras. Ayat about debt. The most important verse is 255 verses, 2 suras, called Ayatul-Kursi (Ayat of the Throne).
The Quran retells the stories of many characters and events from Christian and Jewish religious books (Bible, Torah), although the details often differ. Such well-known biblical figures as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus are mentioned in the Koran as the Prophets of Islam (Monotheism).
In the Islamic tradition, these revelations are perceived as the speech of Allah himself, who chose Muhammad for the prophetic mission. Collected together, brought together in one list, during the reign of Caliph Osman (644-656), these revelations made up the canonical text of the Koran, which has survived unchanged to this day. The first complete list dates back to 651. Many attempts, over a period of one and a half thousand years, to make at least some changes in the sacred text of the Koran, for discrepancies and subsequent criticism of the followers of Islam, have failed.
The Koran is a holy book for more than one and a half billion Muslims.
The outstanding artistic merits of the Qur’an are undoubtedly recognized by all connoisseurs of Arabic literature. However, many of them are lost in literal translation.
In addition to the Quran, Muslims recognize other holy books, but they believe that the rest of the Scriptures have lost their role after the beginning of the revelation of the Quran, which is the last of the Scriptures and will be the last Scripture until the Day of Judgment. The Quran must be read in clean places. One should not read the Qur’an near people engaged in other activities or near passers-by. Keep the Qur’an on high (shelves) and in clean places. The Qur’an must not be kept on low shelves and must not be placed on the floor. Strictly follow (as far as you can) all the Precepts specified in the Koran. Build your entire life by the moral principles of the Holy Quran.
