Synopsis: The Meaning & The Translation of Holy Quran In English
Languange Part 1

The Holy Quran is a compilation of the verbal revelations given to the
Holy Prophet Muhammad SAW over a period of twenty three years. The
Holy Quran is the Holy Book or the Scriptures of the Muslims. It lays
down for them the law and commandments, codes for their social and
moral behaviour, and contains a comprehensive religious philosophy.
The language of the Quran is Arabic.

Besides its proper name, the Quran is also known by the following
names: al Kitab (The Book); al Furqan (The Discrimination): al Dhikr
(The Exposition); al Bayan (The Explanation); al Burhan (The
Argument); al Haqq (The Truth); al Tanzil (The Revelation); al Hikmat
(The Wisdom); al Huda (The Guide); al Hukm (The Judgment); al Mau’izah
(The Admonition); al Rahmat (The Mercy); al-Noor (The Light); al-Rooh
(The Word).

The Holy Quran is divided into 114 Surahs or Chapters and each Chapter
consists of individual Ayaat or verses. There are in total 6,348
verses in the Holy Quran. The Surahs are of varying lengths, some
consisting of a few lines while others run for many pages. Surah al
Baqarah (Ch.2) is the longest Chapter comprising 287 verses while
Surah al Kauthar (Ch. 108) is the shortest with only four verses
including the tasmia.

The text of the Holy Quran has remained unchanged over the past 1400
years. The millions of copies of the Quran circulating in the world
today are all identical down to a single letter. And this is not
strange since God says in the Holy Quran that He Himself will guard
this book:

“Surely it is We Who have revealed the Exposition, and surely it is We
Who are its guardians” (Holy Quran 15:10)
