The Qur'an is a
record of the exact words revealed by God through the Angel
Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad `peace be upon him.' It was
memorized by Muhammad `peace be upon him' and then dictated
to his Companions, and written down by scribes, who
cross-checked it during his lifetime. Not one word of its
114 chapters, Suras, has been changed over the centuries, so
that the Qur'an is in every detail the unique and miraculous
text which was revealed to Muhammad `peace be upon him'
fourteen centuries ago.
