Quran
Central Holy Book of Islam Illustrated
The Central Holy Book of Islam, the Quran
The Quran is believed to be a revelation directly from God, providing a complete code of conduct across all facets of life. Besides its religious significance, it is widely regarded as the finest work of Arabic literature and has significantly influenced the Arabic language. Its structural complexity, vivid allegories and universal themes of justice, morality and the human condition have made the Quran a subject of extensive worldwide scholarship, translation and literary critique.
Delphi's Eastern Treasures Series provides eReaders with rare and precious texts of Middle-Eastern literature, featuring prominent works of history, fiction, religion and philosophy, complemented with the original texts. This eBook presents multiple translations of the Quran, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
