Few books in history are as poorly understood as
the Qur'an. Sent down in a series of revelations to
the Prophet Muhammad, it is regarded by the
faithful as the unmediated word of Allah. Revered
by Muslims throughout the world, it inspires
unparalleled levels of devotion, passion, fear and,
sometimes, incomprehension.
In this short book, the distinguished scholar Bruce
Lawrence shows precisely w% the Qur'an is
Islam. He describes the origins of the faith in
seventh-century Arabia and explains why the
Qur'an needs to be both memorized and recited
by its followers. Lawrence also discusses the
book's many doubters and commentators
the English monk Robert of
philosopher Muhammad Iqbal
influence in societies and polities today. Above all,
Lawrence emphasizes that the Qur'an is
book of signs*that has no single message. It is a
book that demands interpretation and can only be
properly understood through its history.
In these increasingly troubled
A Biography is a beautifully written and authori¬
tative account of one of the world's most famous
and most misunderstood books.
