5. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF PRESERVING
THE QUR'AN
•The preservation of the Qur'an holds immense significance
for Muslims around the world. Muslims consider the
Qur'an to be the literal word of God as revealed to the
Prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel. It is
believed to be a guide for all aspects of life, providing
moral, ethical, and spiritual guidance. The preservation of
the Qur'an is significant for several reasons:

6. Preserving the Qur'an allows scholars and
historians to study and understand the
development of Islam and its impact on
societies throughout history.
Preserving the Qur'an ensures that Muslims
have access to the authentic teachings of
Islam and can derive guidance from it.

7.  Preserving the Qur'an helps maintain cultural
traditions and rituals associated with its recitation,
fostering a sense of unity among Muslims regardless
of their geographical location.
 Preserving the Qur'an ensures that intellectual
tradition continues to thrive, allowing scholars to
delve into its linguistic, theological, and legal
aspects.

maintain their connection with the divine.
• The preservation of the Qur'an ensures that there
is a unified and consistent text available to all
Muslims worldwide. It prevents any alterations
or distortions in its content, safeguarding its
authenticity and integrity.

9. Memorizing some chapters/verses of the
Qur'an as a means of preserving it.
Memorization of the Qur'an is not limited to
specific chapters or verses but encompasses
the entire text. However, there are certain
chapters that hold particular significance and
are often emphasized in memorization
efforts. These chapters include:

10. 1. Surah Al-Fatiha: Also known as "The
Opening," this chapter is considered the most
important in the Qur'an. It consists of seven
verses and serves as the book's preface. Surah
Al-Fatiha is recited in every unit of the
Muslim prayer (Salah) and is recited multiple
times throughout the day by practicing
Muslims.

11. 2. Surah Al-Baqarah: This chapter, also
known as "The Cow," is the second and
longest chapter in the Qur'an, consisting of
286 verses. It covers various aspects of
faith, guidance, and legislation. Surah Al-
Baqarah is often considered a cornerstone
for memorization due to its length and
comprehensive content.

12. 3. Surah Yasin: Surah Yasin is often
called "The Heart of the Qur'an" due to
its profound spiritual and emotional
impact. It is the 36th chapter of the
Qur'an and contains 83 verses. Surah
Yasin is frequently recited for blessings,
protection, and solace.

13. While these chapters hold significance in
memorization efforts, it is important to note that
Muslims strive to memorize the entire Qur'an
rather than focusing solely on specific chapters or
verses. The process of memorization requires
dedication, discipline, and regular revision. Many
Muslim communities have established
institutions and programs specifically dedicated
to teaching and facilitating the memorization of
the Qur'an.

sections, each serving a specific purpose and
guiding Muslims in different aspects of their
lives.

18. 1. Surahs (Chapters): The Qur'an is composed of 114
surahs, which are further divided into verses called ayahs.
Each surah varies in length, with some consisting of just a
few verses while others span multiple pages. Surahs are
arranged in a non-chronological order, except for the first
chapter, Al-Fatiha, which is considered the opening chapter
and is recited in every unit of Muslim prayer. Surahs cover a
wide range of topics, including theology, morality, law,
guidance for personal conduct, stories of prophets, and
descriptions of the afterlife.

into 30 equal parts known as juz'. This
division facilitates the recitation of the entire
Qur'an over a month during Ramadan, the
holy month of fasting for Muslims. Each juz'
consists of various surahs and serves as a
convenient way to pace the recitation
throughout the month.

20. 3. Hizb (Half-Juz'): The juz' is further divided into
two halves called Hizb. This division allows for an
even distribution of recitation over shorter periods,
such as daily or weekly readings. Each hizb
comprises approximately 20 pages of the Qur'an.

not universally recognized but are used for various
purposes:

sections called ahzab. This division is

progress in completing the recitation of
the entire Qur'an.

month by reciting one Juzuu per day. Each Juzuu contains
various chapters (Surahs) and verses (Ayat).

per day allows for the completion of the entire Qur'an
within a week.

known as Ruk'u (plural: Ruku'). This division is mainly

portion of the Qur'an is recited in each unit (Rak'ah) of
prayer. Each Ruk'u typically consists of several verses
from different chapters.

26. •Surah: The Qur'an comprises 114
chapters called Surahs (also spelled as
Sura or Soorah). These chapters vary in
length and cover various themes and
topics. Surahs are numbered sequentially
from the beginning to the end of the
Qur'an, with the exception of the first
chapter, Al-Fatiha, which is considered
separate from the numbering system.

27. •Makkan Surah: The Surahs of the Qur'an are
further categorized into two main types based
on their place of revelation. Makkan Surahs are
those that were revealed in Makkah before the
migration of Prophet Muhammad (peace be
upon him) to Madinah. These Surahs often
focus on matters of faith, monotheism, and
moral teachings.

those that were revealed in Madinah
after the migration of Prophet
Muhammad (peace be upon him) from

matters related to governance, social
issues, and legal rulings.
