al-qur’an (Koran) Means “a recitation” Most recited book in the world Divided into 114 chapters (Surahs) Proclaimed in Arabic The words of the Qur’an came to Muhammad over the course of 23 years Large portions memorized in childhood so it regulates the interpretation and evaluation of every event for a Muslim. “It is not about the truth: it is the truth.” Rather than placing meaning on events, it is a record of Allah’s direct pronouncements.

Surah 1 – Al-Fatiha (The Opening of the Qur’an) In The name of God, the Compassionate, The Merciful All praise is for God, the Lord of all domains of existence, The Compassionate, the Merciful, Master of the Day of Judgment. Thee alone do we serve, and Thee alone do we ask for help. Show us the straight path, The path of those whom Thou hast blest – (Of those) who have never incurred Thy displeasure, and have not gone astray. Discussion Questions 1. What does this chapter say about the nature of God? (How does it describe God?) 2. What does it say about the relationship between God and people?
