Allah
Devout Muslims and conservative scholars believe that the Qur'an was written by Allah through divine revelation to the Prophet Muhammad, who wrote it verbatim. As a result, at the time of Prophet Muhammad's death, many fragmentary passages and complete copies of the Qur'an belonged to individuals, and there was disagreement among Muslims over who compiled it into a coherent full text. Therefore, many Muslims at the time knew individual chapters of the Qur'an, but did not know the full, complete revelation as they know it today.
Verses Memorized
During the 23 years that the Prophet Muhammad was a prophet, verses from the Qur'an were memorized as they were revealed, and about 42 scribes wrote verses on various materials such as paper, cloth, bone fragments, and leather. The words of the Qur'an, the Quran, were collected when they were sent down to the Prophet Muhammad, memorized by early Muslims, and written down by scribes.
AD 610
According to traditional Islamic beliefs, the Qur'an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in AD 610 by the angel Gabriel. in the western Arabian cities of Mecca and Medina, and ended with the death of Muhammad in AD 632. Muslims believe that the Qur'an was spoken orally to Muhammad by its creator through the angel Gabriel, over a period of approximately 23 years, beginning on December 22, 609 AD, when Muhammad was 40 years old, and ending in 632 AD. die. Muslims consider the Qur'an to be the most important miracle of Muhammad, the proof of his prophecy and the culmination of a series of divine messages revealed by the angel Gabriel from 609 to 632 AD.
Muslims believe that the current wording of the Qur'an matches the wording revealed to the last prophet, and that it cannot be distorted according to their interpretation of the Qur'an ("Indeed, it is Allah who sent the Qur'an" and in fact we will be its guardians .”). The Qur’an contains the direct and unchanging words of Allah revealed by the Angel Gabriel to the last prophet of Islam, Muhammad, more than 1,400 years ago. Muslims believe that the Qur’an is a divine guide and guide for mankind book, and believes its original Arabic text to be the original Arabic word for Allah, revealed to Muhammad Gabriel during a 23-year period between 610 and 632 AD.
Muslims believe that over a period of about 23 years, starting when Muhammad was 40 years old on December 22, 609 AD, and ending when Muhammad was 40 years old in 632 AD, the Qur'an gradually revealed itself to the last prophet, Muhammad. he died. The Prophet Muhammad is thought to have lived between AD 570. In 632 AD, according to Muslim tradition, the Prophet Muhammad received the revelation that constituted the Qur'an between AD 610 and AD 645
Islam was revealed in the form of the Koran, to the Holy Prophet Muhammad () in the form of revelations from the angel Jibrail (). This book was not revealed to Muhammad immediately, but in fact it was revealed in several parts. It took 23 years for the Quran to fully reveal it. The Qur'an was written on various scrolls and materials that were in the possession of the Companions of the Prophet.
The Qur'an is also rich in agricultural and geographical references that are out of place in the arid Arabian Peninsula and are written in an Arabic dialect that even early Muslim scholars believed was not the dialect of Muhammad's tribe in Mecca. In fact, many historians still believe that only Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) could write the Koran. Any historian, Muslim or non-Muslim, will argue that the only possible source of the Qur'an can be the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the person responsible for reciting, teaching and explaining it to the people of Arabia.
The application is that the Qur'an was not written by Muhammad, the Qur'an did not exist during Muhammad's lifetime, but after Muhammad's death, the people who wrote it were not prophets or apostles, only Abu Bakr and Caliph Uthman ordered them to read the book they were reading. Christian scholars of Islam, such as Kenneth Cragg and W. M. Watt, have expressed the view that the Qur'an is a revelation from Allah, although they believe that in a sense it should also be understood as the word of Muhammad. Muslims view the Qur'an as the culmination of a series of divine messages that began with revelation to Adam, considered the first prophet of Islam, including the Book of Moses, the Psalms of David and the Injils or Gospels. , Jesus Jesus and the Qur'an indicate familiarity with some of the content of the books of Moses.
Hundreds of the Prophet's Companions memorized the Qur'an, and Muslims recited large portions of the text every day. According to hadith and Muslim history, after the last prophet emigrated to Medina and formed an independent Muslim community, he ordered many of his companions to read the Qur'an and study and teach the laws that were revealed daily. Since the Holy Quran was the cornerstone of the divine mission of the Prophet Muhammad and the miracle he announced, Muslims believe that its verses were systematically written down by special named scribes and that it has been preserved in the original form in which it was revealed, without any loss or distortion.
