The Qur'An

The Qur'an is the Islamic scripture, a recitation in Arabic arranged in 114 suras of uneven length. It addresses a single God, prophecy, judgment, law, and mercy, and it retells the stories of earlier messengers including Abraham, Moses, and Jesus while speaking to the community around Muhammad in Mecca and Medina. Legal passages on worship, family, and war sit beside hymns of creation and warnings to opponents. The text is not a chronological biography; later compilers ordered the chapters mainly by length. This English rendering presents that scripture for readers who do not use the Arabic original. The book is revelation and law, not a novel.
