The Holy Quran

The Qur’an was revealed step-by-step during a period of about 23 years. The Prophet received the first disclosure in 610CE, in the Cave of Hira, two and a half miles away from the House of Allah in the city of Makkah.

In the revelation of Qur’an, first five verses of Surah (chapter) Al-Alaq were: "Iqra bismi rabbikalla dhi khalaq. Khalaqal insana min alaq. Iqra wa rabbukal akram. Alladhi 'allama bil qalam. 'Allamal insana malam ya’lam, " which means "Read in the name of your Lord who created, created man from a clot. Read, for your Lord is most Generous, Who teaches by means of the pen, teaches man what he does not know." (96: 1-5)

The last revelation was the third verse of Surah Al-Maidah, which was sent down to the Prophet in 632 C.E. : "Al yawma akmaltu lakum dinakam wa atmamtu alaikam ni'mati wa raditu' lakumul islama dinan''," which means "Today I perfected your religion for you and completed my favor to you and have chosen for you Al-Islam as your religion." (5:3)

Surah Al-Fatiha (The Opening Chapter) was the first complete chapter to be revealed and Surah An-Nasr was the last.

Al-Quran is divided into thirty equal divisions, which are called juz in Arabic. There are 114 chapters, of varying length.

The Quran is the eternal miracle. It is the complete and best templet for living one's life and seeking Allah's pleasure The teachings of the Quran are universal, addressed to all people throughout the world regardless of their creed and color.
We all know from the Quran and the Ahadeeth about the countless rewards and benefits of Quran Recitation.

Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Quran, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong) [Quran al-Baqarah 2:185]
The Prophet (PBUH) said:

The Qur’an is an intercessor, something given permission to intercede, and it is rightfully believed in. Whoever puts it in front of him, it will lead him to Paradise; whoever puts it behind him, it will steer him to the Hellfire.” [An authentic hadith found in At-Tabaraanee, on the authority of ‘Abdullaah ibn Mas’ood]

So develop a habit of reading Quran daily and learn its meaning. Join Muslim societies and Islamic Schools to get the knowledge of Islam.
