The Book of Allah is like an ocean. The less learned, like children, collect pebbles and shells from its shores. The scholars and thinkers, like pearl divers, bring out from it the highest philosophy, wisdom and rules of a perfect way of living.
The word Qur’an means “recited” or “that which is read “ Qur’an is a “miracle sent down from God, and not simply written by any one man.”
The Qur’an is the most holy book in Islam, and is believed to be God’s final revelation to humanity. It s said to have been revealed (or given) to the The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by God through a series of revelations via the angel Gabriel, in and around the cities of Makkah and Medina between 610 and 632CE.

THE QURAN
PROJECT
The first revelations took place during the month of Ramadan. The Qur’anic revelations are said to fall into two categories. Those received in Makkah establish the credentials of Muhammad as the Prophet of Islam and talk about past communities and generations, whilst those received in Medina describe the duties and norms of behaviour for Muslims.
Many Muslims believe that Muhammad was illiterate, and that this is evidence for the Divine origin of the Qur’an (their point being that he could not have invented the content of the Qur’an). They also consider Muhammad’s ability to receive the Qur’an to be a miracle. It is widely accepted that the first revelation Muhammad received was Surah 96 (“Clots of Blood”) This boast is echoed in the Hadith (Mishkat III, pg.664), which says: “The Qur’an is the greatest wonder among the wonders of the world... This book is second to none in the world according to the unanimous decision of the learned men in points of diction, style, rhetoric, thoughts and soundness of laws and regulations to shape the destinies of mankind.”
Holy Qur’an has remained unchanged and unaltered during all these 1400 years and it shall remain so till the Day of Resurrection, for Allah, has taken it on Himself to protect it. In 2010-2012 we want to write the words revealed to the Beloved Prophet Mohammed PBU, in the most beautiful purest way and relive a dying art of calligraphy. The Qur’an is divided into:
30 equal parts
114 chapters
6,226 verses, containing 99,464 words made up of 330, 113 letters
