It is a guidance for humanity, comprising 114 chapters (surahs) and over 6,000 verses (ayahs) that contain teachings, stories, and wisdom. The Quran is revered by Muslims as a miracle and a testament to the prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him), and its words are considered the literal speech of God as conveyed through the angel Gabriel. The Quran serves as a spiritual guide, a moral code, and a source of inspiration for millions of people around the world.
