The Book of Islam is Al - Quran, also spelled Qu'ran, Koran, Kuran, Coran, depending on different systems of transliterations from Arabic. In Arabic ا��رآ�The Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad from God/Allah through Angel Gibril/Gabriel and was memorized by many of the companions of the Prophet. The revelation came during 23 years. After the death of the Prophet, during a battle, a significant number of the person who knew all the Quran by heart died and caliph Omar ibn al Khattab decided together with the rest of the community that it was best to preserve the Quran in a written form. They made a council that was entrusted with this task. The criteria of selecting the sources where very tough so that there were no mistakes. One of the copy of the Quran from that time is still available in a museum in Istanbul/Turkey and a group of scientists verified the authenticity of the copies available today. There is not a single letter of the Quran different from that time. There is only one version of the Quran in the world, in Arabic, which is very hard to translate, reason why Muslim say that the only Quran is that in Arabic. The rest are just translations of meanings of the verses of the Quran.

The Quran comprises 114 chapters, different in length, divided into 30 equal parts, called juz.
