  The 1.3 billion Muslims throughout the world believe that the Koran (Qur’an) is the last revealed word of God and the prime source of their faith and practice. They believe it’s a record of the exact words that God revealed through the angel Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad during a 23-year period from AD 610-632. This “heavenly” book in Arabic consists of 114 surahs (chapters) with 6,239 verses, making it slightly longer than the New Testament.

Muslims are expected to read the entire book through during the month of Ramadan.
