- "What about the Moslem/Muslim Koran (also spelled Qu'ran), the religious book of Islam? Is that inspired by God?"



Chapters in the Koran are called Suras.

It is important to be aware of a significant difference between verse
numbers in the Bible and verse numbers in the Koran: Verse numbers in the
Bible are fixed, i.e., no matter which translation you use, the verse
numbers are in the same place. This is not so with the Koran. In other
words, if you use Koran translation ABC, a particular section of text might
be in Sura 5, verse 150. if you use translation XYZ, the same text might be
in Sura 5, verse 148 or 153. Hence, when an article such as this Web page
cites a particular verse, if you look it up you may have to read several
verses before or after to find the text.
