This text offers clear translations of and extensive commentaries on 37 key passages of the Islamic scripture, making the Qur'an accessible to students and general readers who lack the linguistic background to read it in the original Arabic form. Providing a well-rounded and faithful introduction to the Qur'an, this book can be used in courses on Islam, the Qur'an, or Sacred Texts-either as a supplement or as a substitute for reading from the Qur'an itself.
