The Quran: Enriched edition. English Edition

The Quran, regarded as the holy scripture of Islam, serves as a profound spiritual guide and a comprehensive framework for ethical and moral conduct. Written in a highly poetic and rhythmic style, it is divided into 114 chapters (Surahs) that vary in length and cover a multitude of themes, including law, guidance for personal conduct, and narratives of previous prophets. The Quran's literary context is rooted in the oral traditions of 7th-century Arabia, where eloquence and linguistic mastery were paramount in conveying truth and wisdom. Its verses have been studied not only for their theological insight but also for their remarkable literary beauty, making it a cornerstone of both religious devotion and Arabic literature. The author of the Quran, Allah, is the Islamic conception of God, embodying omniscience and omnipotence. The revelation of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad over 23 years signifies a pivotal moment in human history, conveying divine instructions aimed at uniting humanity under the principles of justice, compassion, and righteousness. This transformative work reflects the socio-political climate of its time and provides insight into the character and guidance relevant to its followers. The Quran is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand not only Islamic jurisprudence and ethics but also the literary richness of religious texts.
