One of the most influential books in the history of literature and recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, The Koran is the supreme authority and living source of all Islamic teaching – the sacred text that sets out the creed, rituals, ethics and laws of Islam. Revealed to the Prophet Mohammed by the angel Gabriel, it has been called a glorious symphony that moves men and women to ecstasy and awe.
E.H. Palmer’s superb translation brings a lucid clarity to the text, while R.A. Nicholson's erudite but accessible introduction tells Mohammed’s story and gives a historical, religious and social context to this holy book and its sometimes conflicting dictates and revelations.
