Publisher's Synopsis
The Koran, translated by J. M. Rodwell and first published in 1909, is an English translation of the Islamic holy book. The Koran is a collection of revelations given to the Prophet Muhammad by Allah over a period of 23 years, and it is considered the most sacred text of Islam. The book is divided into chapters, or suras, and covers a wide range of topics including God, the prophets, morality, law, and the afterlife. Rodwell's translation is based on the Arabic text and aims to provide a faithful and accurate rendering of the original. This edition includes a detailed introduction, notes on the translation, and a glossary of Arabic terms. The Koran has been widely read and studied by scholars, theologians, and laypeople alike, and remains an important text in the Islamic tradition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
