Despite the rapid growth of Islam in this country, its precepts and scripture remain inaccessible to many readers. It is difficult, too, that many of its believers assert that the Qur'an cannot be translated. This groundbreaking work by Haverford College professor Sells goes a very long way to bridging the gap that separates the non-Islamic reader from the Qur'an; he translates and extensively annotates a careful selection of the earliest suras (revelations), setting them in their cultural context. Further chapters discuss sound and gender in the meaning of the Qur'an, and the book includes an hour-long CD of extraordinary field recordings of male and female Qur'anic reciters.

This book is not solely a collection of virtues of reciting the Qur'an. This book is not a reference on the sciences of the Qur'an ('Ulum al-Qur'an). Rather, it is a book that strives to build the relationship between the reader and the Qur'an; it sets a perspective for him and makes him realize what he is about to engage in. The author discusses the manners (aadab) of reading the Qur'an and its relationship to benefiting from it, like the proper time, place, posture, and intention. He discusses the change brought by the Qur'an among the Arabs and then tackles the issue of why does not the Qur'an have the same effect today? Was the physical presence of the Prophet Muhammad the key or is it something else? The book aims to give the reader the major goals of the Qur'an, it instructs him in what the Qur'an is trying to achieve so he may not be sidetracked. The author discusses the secondary reasons for which many people generally read the Qur'an like reciting it merely for blessing, or using it as source of healing for physical ailments, or studying its scientific miracles, or studying it as a source of culture, or reciting it as a protection from evil. He then turns on to explaining the primary reason for its revelation: teaching the creation about Allah, His oneness and attributes, showing the creation the Path and way of life that is pleasing to Allah, creating the complete and balanced Islamic individual, bringing about an Islamic society, guiding Muslims in their struggle against the enemies of Islam, and imparting proper concept and application of Tauheed.

Qur'an: An Introduction is the first book that deals with the Quranic discourse from two essential perspectives. First, the book examines the development of Mohammed's thought within the context of Jewish and Christian ideas about God; and second, it explores the Quranic message from the vantage point of the modern scientific world view. Mohammad Abu-Hamdiyyah presents an accessible introduction to the rich complexities of this ancient text, enabling readers to understand the various components of its message--from the concept of God, the position of mankind in this world, and the purpose of life to the absolute freedom of choice and the responsibility that accompanies it.
