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.▼

▲''[[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 was originally written down between 610 and 632 CE.
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).
