Origins of the word Hindu
- See also: Etymology of the names of India
Word Hindu is derived from Sanskrit word Sindhu (Sanskrit: सिन्धु). The word "Hindu" is in medieval Persian "Hindo" representing the ancient Avestan hendava (Sanskrit, saindhava), a dweller on the Sindhu River (a.k.a. Indus). Using the word "Hindu" for "Sindhu", they referred to the people who lived near or across the Sindhu river and they called land further to Sindhu river as "Hindostan" (Modern Persian: Hindustan) . The religion of the Indians (mispronounced as Hindus)[12] later became known as "Hinduism" to outsiders, whereas Indians had no one term for their diverse set of religious practices. Eventually the word "Hindu" came into common use among Hindus themselves,[2] and was adopted into Greek as Indos and Indikos ("Indian"), into Latin as Indianus.[13] and into Sanskrit, as Hindu, appearing in some early medieval texts (e.g. Bhaviṣya Purāṇa, Kālikā Purāṇa, Rāmakośa, Hemantakavikośa and Adbhutarūpakośa)[citation needed]
The Quran's writing originated from the Tawrat (Torah)
Muslims regard the Qur'ān as the culmination of a series of divine messages that started with those revealed to Adam — regarded, in Islam, as the first prophet — and including the Suhuf-i-Ibrahim (Scrolls of Abraham),[7] the Tawrat (Torah),[8][9] the Zabur (Psalms),[10][11] and the Injil (Gospel).[12][13][14] The aforementioned books are recognized in the Qur'ān,[15][16] and the Qur'anic text assumes familiarity[17] with many events from Jewish and Christian scriptures, retelling some of these events in distinctive ways, and referring obliquely to others. It rarely offers detailed accounts of historical events; the Qur'an's emphasis is typically on the moral significance of an event, rather than its narrative sequence. Details to historical events are contained within the Hadith of Muhammad and the narrations of Muhammad's Companions (Sahabah).
What is the Quran ?
The Qur’ān [1] (Arabic: القرآن al-qur'ān, literally "the recitation"; also sometimes transliterated as Quran, Koran, or Al-Qur'an) is the central religious text of Islam. Muslims believe the Qur'an to be the book of divine guidance and direction for mankind and consider the text in its original Arabic to be the literal word of God,[2] revealed to Muhammad over a period of 23 years[3][4] and view the Qur'an as God's final revelation to humanity.[5][6]
