How is the quran organised?

Answer 1

Well... I'm not Muslim, (and its Qu'ran) but we are learning this in RS (RE) and it said that, the Qur'an has:

--> 140 chapters

--> 6236 verses (a single verse is called an Ayah)

-->77639 words

-->323,015 letters

The Qur'an is the Sacred book of Islam

It tells Muslims how to live their life

It is arranged in chronological order (the earliest thing first and the latest thing last)

It is unaltered

It is written in Arabic

It is the Muslim version of The Bible

It is apparently the words from Allah (the Muslim god), given to an angel. This angel appeared to the Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him*) when he was meditating in a cave. The angel repeated the words and Muhammed soon learned these words of by heart. Because he could not write, he spread the words to people who believed in Allah. Soon it was written down and this became the Qur'an

If it is translated into any other language it will "lose its meaning"

ps. if there is someone who is Muslim who knows the answer you can improve it and write underneath this, but PLEASE don't get rid of this because it took quite a while (even though i am a fast typer)!! THANKS

Answer 3

The structure of how it is written?

There are 114 surat's (similar to chapters).

The first one is the most important in prayers, it is called Al-Fatiha.

The 2nd surat is Al-Baqara and is the biggest of the 114.

The more you progress, the shorter the surat's get.

All the verses are numbered for reference.

The original Q'ran is in arabic.

I hope this helps

Salam

Hello, Here is a link of the writing of the Quran:

http://www.islambasics.com/view.php?bkID=120&chapter=1

You can order your authentic copy of the Quran from here: just copy the link and paste it on your internet explorer address page.

http://www.amazon.com/Meaning-Holy-Quran-Abdullah-Yusuf/dp/1590080254/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1265893877&sr=8-4

The Quran contains commandments, stories, parables, warnings, and good news, and teaches you the purpose of life, the Creator & How to lead a happy and fruitful life amnong other important things.

What is the Quran?

Al-Quran is the eternal miracle. It is the last Book of Allah sent for the guidance of humanity through the last Prophet, Muhammad, peace be upon him (PBUH).

Revelation of the Quran

The Quran was revealed piecemeal throughout a period of about 23 years. The Prophet received the first revelation in 610CE, in the Cave of Hira in the Mountain of Light (Jabale-Noor), two and a half miles away from the House of Allah in the city of Makkah in Arabia.

The first revelation was the first five verses of Surah (chapter) Al-Alaq: "Iqra bismi rabbikalla dhi khalaq. Khalaqal insana min alaq. Iqra WA rabbukal akram. Alladhi 'allama bil qalam. 'Allamal insana malam ya'lam, " which means "Read in the name of your Lord who created, created man from a clot. Read, for your Lord is most Generous, Who teaches by means of the pen, teaches man what he does not know." (96: 1-5)

The last revelation was the third verse of Surah Al-Maidah, which was sent down to the Prophet in 632 C.E. : "Al yawma akmaltu lakum dinakam WA atmamtu alaikam ni'mati WA raditu' lakumul islama dinan''," which means "Today I perfected your religion for you and completed my favor to you and have chosen for you Al-Islam as your religion." (5:3)

Surah Al-Fatiha (The Opening Chapter) was the first complete chapter to be revealed and Surah An-Nasr was the last.

7 Reasons to Read the Glorious Quran

(1) Intimate:

It dares you to disprove it. How? It says that humans can not write a book like this even if they pooled all their resources together and got help also from the spirits. The Quran said this fourteen hundreds years ago and yet no one has been able to disprove it. Billions of books have been written - but not another one like the Quran.

(2) Incorruptible:

It is the only religious sacred writing which has been in circulation for such a long time and yet remains as pure as it was in the beginning. The Quran was kept intact. Nothing was added to it; nothing was changed in it; and nothing was taken away from it ever since it was completely revealed 1400 years ago.

(3) Unsurpassable:

The Quran is God's final revelation to humankind. God revealed the Torah to Moses, the Psalms to David, the Gospel to Jesus, and finally the Quran to Muhammad. Peace be upon all of them. No other book will come from God to surpass his final revelation.

(4) Indisputable:

The Quran withstands the test of time and scrutiny. No one can dispute the truth of this book. It speaks about past history and turns out right. It speaks about the future in prophecies and it turns out right. It mentions details of physical phenomena which were not known to people at the time; yet later scientific discoveries confirm that the Quran was right all along. Every other book needs to be revised to accord with modern knowledge. The Quran alone is never contradicted by a modern discovery.

(5) Your Roadmap for Life and Afterlife:

The Quran is the best guidebook on how to structure your life. No other book presents such a comprehensive system involving all aspects of human life and endeavor. The Quran also points out the way to secure everlasting happiness in the afterlife. It is your roadmap showing how to get to paradise.

(6) God's Gift of Guidance:

God has not left you alone. You were made for a reason. God tells you why he made you, what he demands from you, and what he has in store for you. If you operate a machine contrary to it's manufacture specification you will ruin that machine. What about you? Do you have an owner's manual for you? The Quran is from your function for success lest you fail to function. It is a healing mercy from God. It satisfies the soul, and cleans the heart. It removes doubts and brings peace.

(7) Your Calling Card to Communicate with God:

Humans are social creatures. We love to communicate with other intelligent life. The Quran tells us how to communicate with the source of all intelligence and the source of all life- the One God. The Quran tells us who God is, by what name we should address God, and the way in which to communicate with God. Are these not seven sufficient reasons for reading the Quran?

Answer 5

Quran verses and chapters are arranged by the Angel Gabriel and showed to prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

Answer B:

The Quran was revealed in Chronological order to the Prophet. Prophet was instructed to revise what was revealed since early revelations, every night of what he could. And every Ramadaan the prophet went through the whole revealed Quran, at the time, again. The Angel revealed the Quran in the right order, not what we have today. the Quran today was placed in this order by the first Caliph.

Many people at the time were not litterate and only a few could read and write. Most forms of keeping history safe was done by memory by the people.

Therefor the Quran was arranged in such a way as to make it easier for most of the people who were only starting to learn to read and write.

That's why the surahs that contained as much information in them, were placed first, eventhou those surahs were revealed near the end of the revelation period.

You'll notice that the first revealed surahs basicly prepares the prophet to accept his responsiblities and prepared him for the bigger later surahs.
