The Koran, the sacred text at the heart of the second-largest religion in the world, is regarded by Muslims as the exact word of God as revealed to the prophet Muhammad. Representing the ultimate authority on almost every issue related to Muslim life, the Koran's lessons and parables offer the faithful moral and spiritual guidance.
In The Wisdom of the Koran, listeners will discover a selection of key chapters such as 'The Night Journey' and 'The Cave', footnotes to convey context and meaning, as well as several stories from Judeo-Christian history. This invaluable anthology is an excellent step toward greater understanding of one of the finest pieces of Arabic prose and the Muslim faith.
