Description
The Koran: An Introduction by W. Montgomery Watt
This English interpretation of the Holy Koran was produced with the help of Muslim theologians and linguists, who assisted Marmaduke Pickthall in his conversion to Islam while serving in India's Nizam of Hyderabad.
Watt's introduction provides a scholarly yet accessible framework for understanding the poetic beauty and moral grandeur of the Koran's Arabic original, making this volume a valuable resource for both believers and non-believers alike.
