Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim Assalaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuh What is the Quran? The Arabic word Qur`aan linguistically means: that which is read or recited. It can also mean that which collects or combines. Therefore, upon the first meaning, it is something that is recited and upon the second, it means that which collects together for its collecting and combining information and rulings. The Qur`aan in Islamic terminology is: The speech of Allah, revealed to His messenger and the last of His prophets, Muhammad (sallaAllahu alaihi wa sallaam). It begins with Surah al-Fatihah and ends with Suratun-Naas.
