About Holy Quran
Holy Quran is Kalaam ul Allah - word of Allah, The Almighty. The Holy Book was revealed upon Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) more than 1,400 years ago.
The Holy Book has a total of 30 chapters comprising of more than 6,000 versus. And, unlike other religious books and scriptures, Quran remains - and will remain so, in its original and authentic form – word by word.
During his visit to Chechnya, Putin also visited Special Forces academy and inspected Chechen troops and volunteers preparing to fight in Ukraine.
Putin praised the volunteers and said that as long as Russia has men like them, it will be "invincible", according to reports by Russian state agencies.
“As long as we have men like you, we are absolutely, absolutely invincible,” Putin told soldiers at the Russian Special Forces University, a training school in Chechnya’s Gudermes, according to a transcript on the Kremlin’s website.
“It is one thing to shoot at a shooting range here, and another thing to put your life and health at risk. But you have an inner need to defend the Fatherland and the courage to make such a decision.”
More than 47,000 fighters, including volunteers, have trained at the facility since Moscow began its full-scale invasion into Ukraine in February 2022, according to a Telegram post made by Kadyrov.
