The Quran is the central religious text of Islam, believed by Muslims to be a revelation directly from God (AllÄh). It is organized in 114 chapters (surah, pl. suwer) which consist of individual verses (Äyah). Besides its religious significance, it is widely regarded as the finest work in Arabic literature, and has significantly influenced the Arabic language. It is the object of a modern field of academic research known as Quranic studies.
Friedrich Eberhard Boysen (1720 - 1800) was a German Protestant theologian , Orientalist , and translator of the Quran.
