}}The '''Koran''' (also '''al-Qur'ān''') is the scripture of [[Islam]].
}}The '''Koran''', or ''al-Qur'ān'', is the scripture of [[Islam]].
The Koran is claimed by [[Muslims]] to have been revealed to [[Muhammad]] over a number of years in the seventh century, purportedly through the [[angel]] [[Gabriel]]. The scripture is organized (roughly) according to the length of the chapters. There are 114 suras (or chapters), with many of the later and more warlike ones appearing near the beginning. His first revelations were received in [[Mecca]]. He was exiled from Mecca after commanding the people to repent of [[polytheism]] and join who he claimed was the One True God, (in [[Arabic]], his name is [[Allah]]). Muhammad then traveled to [[Medina]] and converted the entire city. He led them to a victory over the polytheists at Mecca.
