About this book
Introducing The Qur'an answers the questions a reader has before opening the Book itself: what the Qur'an is, how it was revealed over twenty-three years, how it was memorised, written and preserved, and how it came to be arranged as we now have it.
It then turns to the practical matter of reading: how the Surahs are ordered, what the Meccan and Medinan periods mean for understanding a passage, and how to approach the text so that study is rewarding rather than bewildering.
For anyone picking up the Qur'an for the first time — Muslim or not — this is the orientation that makes everything that follows clearer.
