The Koran, the sacred text at the heart of the second-largest religion
in the world, is regarded by Muslims as the exact word of God as
revealed to the prophet Muhammad. Representing the ultimate authority on
almost every issue related to Muslim life, the Koran's lessons and
parables offer the faithful moral and spiritual guidance.
In The Wisdom of the Koran, listeners will discover a selection of key
chapters such as "The Night Journey" and "The Cave," footnotes to convey
context and meaning, as well as several stories from Judeo-Christian
history. This invaluable anthology is an excellent step toward greater
understanding of one of the finest pieces of Arabic prose and the Muslim
faith.
