Islam is one of the most religion-based communities in the world. The Quran is the central religious text of Islam, which is also considered the final revelation of God. Islam teaches that the Quran was revealed to Muhammad by God (Allah) through the angel Gabriel and is the only book that was revealed to him from God. The Quran is composed of chapters that are arranged in a sequential order. Each chapter is composed of verses, which are arranged in a parallel and uniform structure. The chapters in the Quran are named after the chapters in the Hebrew Bible, and its chapters are also called suras.

The word Islam is derived from the Arabic word muslim, meaning "one who has faith in God." Muslims believe that God created the world, established Islam as the religion of the Muslims, and gave them special guidance and religious laws.
