The Quran is the holy book of Islam, being the central religious text that the religion primarily focuses on. From August 10th, in 610 until his death in 632, Muhammad claimed to have verbal revelations from God in the form of the archangel Gabriel, and he had these revelations written down in text; the Quran is composed of God's revelations to Muhammad, while Muhammad's sayings are in the hadiths. The Quran itself was written by several scribes and companions of Muhammad, and the book has since been translated into almost every language - prayers are only in Arabic, however. Talented people who could memorize the whole book were called huffaz, and the whole book is recited during Ramadan.
