Muslims believe the Quran to be the word of God revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (c. 570–632 CE) through the angel Gabriel over about twenty-three years in Mecca and Medina. The revelations were memorized and written down by companions during his lifetime and compiled into a standard text, according to tradition, under the third caliph, Uthman, around 650 CE.
