Al-Quran means "Recitation" or " Sacred Text that is recited ". Mohammed received these revelations and transmitted them orally. After his death, in the year 632, his followers began to assemble the revealed texts taking the form of the book which we know today.

The Quran is divided into chapters called suras, which are then divided into verses, called ayahs. Muslims believe the Quran was verbally revealed by God to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel (Jibril), gradually over a period of approximately 23 years, beginning on 22 December 609 CE, when Muhammad was 40, and concluding in 632, the year of his death.

Muslims regard the Quran as the most important miracle of Muhammad, a proof of his prophethood, and the culmination of a series of divine messages that started with the messages revealed to Adam and ended with Muhammad.
