Description

The Koran is the universally accepted word of God as first revealed to the prophet Muhammad by the angel Gabriel nearly fourteen hundred years ago. Its 114 chapters recount the narratives and rules of conduct central to Islamic belief, forming one of the world's most influential prophetic works and a literary masterpiece in its own right. This revised edition of N. J. Dawood's translation is a trusted and authoritative text, enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors. For over sixty-five years, Penguin has been a leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, offering readers a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. A larger edition with the original Arabic in parallel text is also available, providing readers with a unique opportunity to explore the Koran in its original language.
