About Qiraat:
In Islam, Qira'at, which means literally the readings, terminologically means the method of recitation. Traditionally, there are 10 recognised schools of qira'at, and each one derives its name from a famous reader of Quran recitation.
About Quran:
The Quran (/kɔːrˈɑːn/[n 1] kor-ahn; Arabic: القرآن al-qurʼān, literally meaning "the recitation"; also romanized Qur'an or Koran) is the central religious text of Islam,
which Muslims believe to be a revelation from God (Arabic: الله, Allah). It is widely regarded by Muslims as the finest piece of literature in the Arabic language.
Quranic chapters are called suras and verses, ayahs.

Quran − in Mashhad, Iran − written by Ali.
Muslims believe the Quran was verbally revealed by God to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel (Jibril), gradually over a period of approximately 23 years, beginning on
22 December 609 CE, when Muhammad was 40, and concluding in 632, the year of his death. Muslims regard the Quran as the most important miracle of Muhammad, a proof of
his prophethood, and the culmination of a series of divine messages that started with the messages revealed to Adam and ended with Muhammad. The word "Quran" occurs
some 70 times in the text of the Quran, although different names and words are also said to be references to the Quran.
According to the traditional narrative, several companions of Muhammad served as scribes and were responsible for writing down the revelations. Shortly after
Muhammad's death, the Quran was compiled by his companions who wrote down and memorized parts of it. These codices had differences that motivated the Caliph Uthman to
establish a standard version now known as Uthman's codex, which is generally considered the archetype of the Quran known today. There are, however, variant readings,
with mostly minor differences in meaning.
