Book Reviews of An Abridged Koran
Book Review: Facinating
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want to better understand what Islam is all about this is the book to read. It is written very well and presents Mohamed and the Koran in a historical sequence so it becomes meaningful. It also presents the basis for Jihad and it's origin. This is one book in a series. I am tempted to get the entire series. This is a thin book so it purposely doesn't go into extensive detail. But it does cover a great deal of information on Islam.
Highly recommended.
Summary of An Abridged Koran
The standard Koran is arranged by length of chapter. The longest chapter is at the beginning and the shortest chapters are at the end. This makes it confusing and hard to understand. You can read and understand AN ABRIDGED KORAN. The words of the Koran are woven back into Mohammed's life. This is the way the Koran unfolded in the first place. It was recorded over the course of Mohammed's life. AN ABRIDGED KORAN recreates the historical order of the Koran of Mohammed's day. The first chapters start with Mohammed's first recitation and the last chapters are those he recited before he died. Mohammed's life gives the Koran clarity, meaning, and order. When the Koran and Mohammed's life are brought together, the Koran becomes a powerful epic story. AN ABRIDGED KORAN is identical to A SIMPLE KORAN except it has all of the repetition removed. For instance, the story of Moses and the Pharaoh is told 39 times. In AN ABRIDGED KORAN the story is told only once. Read AN ABRIDGED KORAN. It will change the way you see the world.Nonfiction Books
