The Holy Koran

When people think about a specific religion, what often springs to mind first is the scripture of that faith. For example, the Koran for Islam; the Holy Bible for Christianity; the Tanahk, or Hebrew Bible, for Judaism; and so on. However, we simply don't stop and ask ourselves some basic questions about scripture that we need to, such as what makes scripture scripture? Where does it come from? How is it formed? How is it read? and many others. The answers to some of these questions are surprisingly simple, while others are not.
