'Across the language barrier Dawood captures the thunder and poetry of the original' The Times The Koran is universally accepted by Muslims to be the infallible Word of God as first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad by the Angel Gabriel nearly fourteen hundred years ago. Its 114 chapters, or surahs, recount the narratives central to Muslim belief, and together they form one of the world's most influential prophetic works and a literary masterpiece in its own right. But, above all, the Koran provides the rules of conduct that remain fundamental to the Muslim faith today: prayer, fasting, almsgiving, pilgrimage to Mecca and absolute faith in God and His apostle.

The translation appears "muslim friendly," but I am finding it useful in my study of islam and it's threat to our nation.

as a christian and living in a country with 90% population is muslim, I want to know the muslim believe and teaching. Reading The Koran in Arab languange with arab characters is very hard to me. Fortunately, I found the English translation one. I can use the english translation as my handbook to learn the teaching of islam compare to the biblical teaching. With simple english, those who are interesting to know more about islam,this book is recommended
