A BRILLIANT SURVEY OF THE QUR'AN BY A TOWERING MUSLIM AUTHORITY, AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN PAPERBACK. Sets out the fundamental principles of the Qur'an and its much misunderstood and misquoted teachings on gender and women, polygamy, war, faith, Judaism, Christianity and the many other issues on which the Qur'an pronounces.

Examines the background to the development of the surahs (chapters) and the ayahs (verses) and the construction of the Qur'an itself. Author shows that popular conceptions of Islamic attitudes to women, marriage and divorce, war and society, differ radically from the true teachings of the Qur'an.
