The Quran, literally meaning "the recitation," also romanised Qurʼan or Koran) is the central religious text of Islam, which Muslims believe to be a revelation from God.
Muslims believe that the Quran was verbally revealed from God to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel, gradually over a period of approximately 23 years, beginning on 22 December 609 CE, when Muhammad was 40, and concluding in 632 CE, the year of his death. Shortly after Muhammad's death, the Quran was collected by his companions using written Quranic materials and everything that had been memorized of the Quran.
