A Quran is written in Arabic. When a Muslim picks up the book, they kiss it before opening it. Sometimes a Muslim will wear an amulet around their neck containing a verse from the Quran or even dip a page of Quran in water, let the ink wash off, and then drink the ink. However, the most profound way that a Muslim brings the Quran into their self is by memorizing it. A Muslim who has “written the entire Quran on their heart” takes the name Hafiz.
Muslims believe that the Quran is the word of God, word for word and syllable by syllable. Therefore translating the Quran has no value. The sounds are themselves more important than the meaning. By pronouncing those same sounds the Muslim experiences a communion with God.
