True Words of God

     The Qur'an is the holy text of Muslims and considered to be "The Words of Allah (God)". Its scriptural status among a world-spanning religious community, and its major place within world literature, has led to a great deal of secondary literature on the Qur'an. It was verbally revealed by Allah to Muhammad (pbuh) through the angel Gabriel in a cave on the mountain of Hira in Mecca over a period of approximately 23 years, beginning on 22 December 609 CE -When he was 40- and concluding in 632 CE- when he died-. It was committed to memory by the early Muslims, and recorded in writing by scribes and believed to be the only revealed book that has been protected by Allah from distortion or corruption, for that reason many people converted to Islam. Qur'an is written in Arabic and only holy that way, Allah informs, "We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an so you people may understand / reason" (Qur'an 12:2). But, because many Muslims around the world do not understand Arabic, the meaning of Qur'an is also given in other languages, so that the readers can understand better what the Arabic words mean. However Muslims believe that  translations are not the true Qur'an and only the Arabic copy is true. Finally, Qur'an should be handled with the deepest respect since it's one of the most important things in Islam.
