What is the Quran?
The Quran is the central religious text of Islam, which Muslims believe to be a revelation from God. It is widely regarded as the finest work in classical Arabic literature. The Quran is divided into chapters, which are then divided into verses.
The book of Allah is divided into 114 suras (chapters) of varying lengths, each divided into ayahs (verses). It is the fundamental source of Islamic teaching and law. Muslims believe that it was revealed to the Islamic prophet Muhammad over a period of 23 years.
The word “Quran” (Arabic: القرآن‎) literally means “recitation.” It is believed by Muslims that the Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad by God through the angel Gabriel over a period of 23 years, beginning in 610 CE when he was 40 years old and ending in 632 CE, the year of his death. Muslims believe that the Quran is the final revelation of God’s will and contains all guidance for humanity.
There are 114 chapters in Allah’s book, with varying lengths from just three verses to 286. The chapters are known as surahs and are typically arranged roughly in order of decreasing size.
The first chapter revealed to Muhammad was Surah 96, al-Alaq (The Clot), which contains only 19 verses. The book of Allah is also divided into 30 equal parts, known as juz’ (plural: ajiza).
These parts can be further subdivided into 60 Hizb (plural: ahzab), which are usually printed in Qurans separately from the main text as an aid to readers.
What are the benefits of reading the Quran?
The Holy Quran is the word of God, which was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It contains guidance, mercy, and blessings for those who seek it. The Quran is a source of wisdom and knowledge, and its benefits are many.
Some of the benefits of reading the Quran include:
-Gaining divine guidance and understanding the will of Allah.
-Learning about His signs and revelation.
-Increasing one’s faith and connection with Allah.
-Earning rewards from Allah.
-Protecting oneself from harm and experiencing inner peace.
How to read the Quran in 30 days
In order to read the book of Allah in 30 days, it is important to set aside a specific time each day for reading. It is also helpful to break up the Surah into smaller sections so that you can complete a section each day. For example, you can read one juz’ (30th part) of the Quran each day.
To make sure you are understanding what you are reading, it is helpful to read with a translation and/or commentary. There are many resources available online and in print.
Once you have completed reading the book of Allah once, you can begin reading it again and again to gain a deeper understanding and insight.
