Revise: Muslim Holy BooksThe Qur’an is in Arabic and is divided into surahs, or chapters, containing ayahs, or verses. Reading and learning the Arabic matters because Muslims believe it preserves the actual wording of the revelation; translation helps understanding but involves interpreting its meaning. Many Muslims memorise the whole Qur’an.
