What is the Quran?
Quran, in Islamic belief, is the book of Allah / the word of Allah (literally), that was revealed to prophet Mohammed (peace and prayers be upon him), the last of Allah's messengers. It was revealed gradually (piecemeal) over a period of 23 years, and represents the last, sealing message of Islam, primarily a comprehensive doctrine to all of mankind and beyond.
the Quranic text has not undergone any change since it was revealed and will continue to be change-proof until the end of time. Allah has taken upon himself to guard this Quran, as stated in verse 9 chapter 15: "Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian".
