''[[The Qur'an]]'' (also Romanized as "Quran" and "Koran") is the holy text of the [[Islam]]ic faith. According to Muslim tradition, it was dictated to the Prophet [[Muhammad]] by the [[Archangel Gabriel]]. [[The Bible]] and the Jewish Torah are consider incomplete texts that have deviated from the true meaning of [[God]] (called Allah, which means "God" in Arabic), and the ''Qur'an'' is considered the final revelation of Allah.
It differs from the Jewish and Christian Bible, in that the work is not a collection of various other works, but rather a collection of sayings in verse attributed to Allah/God given to [[The Prophet Muhammed]] via the [[Archangel Gabriel]]. Think of it as ''God: The Collected Poems''. Its sections are ordered by length, not by theme (as in the Christian Bible) or chronologically (as in the Tanakh).
The ''Qur'an'' is traditionally considered best read and understood in the original Arabic, but to spread knowledge of Islam, translations of the ''Qur'an'' have been made available in multiple languages (including an English translation [[{{PAGENAME}}/Source|on this wiki]]).
