What is the Koran?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Islam's sacred book, codified by the Muslim ruler Uthman (r. 644-656), koran means "recitation"---a reference to the archangel Gabriel's instructions to Muhammad in 610 to "recite in the name of Allah." The Koran is composed of one hundred fourteen surahs or chapters divided into verses.
