The Qur’an is the holy book for Muslims. They believe that it ‘s the saing of God. In the Qur’an there are 114 chapters and in each one there are lot of verses. Many Muslims learn by heart the verses that they recite during the day addressed to The Mecca.

The holy place for Muslims is the mosque. There’s a mosque in every city and there Muslims go to pray. If they can’t go to the mosque, they pray in the place where they are.
