"The Koran" is the holy book of Islam, considered by Muslims to be
the divine word of God and a spiritual guide for living. It is said
that God revealed the Koran to Muhammad, the last great Muslim
prophet and God's messenger, through the angel Jibril (or Gabriel).
One day when Muhammad was 40 and meditating in a cave during
Ramadan, he received his first revelation; these continued until
his death in 632 CE. Three years after the first revelation,
Muhammad began preaching total surrender to God as the only
acceptable path. Muhammad's followers recorded and memorized his
teachings, eventually compiling them into one complete text after
his death to form the Koran. The Koran is seen as proof of
Muhammad's prophethood and contains instructions for how to live,
recounts of historical events, and parables and moral lessons. This
edition contains an Introduction and Preface, as well as a detailed
Index.JOHN MEDOWS RODWELL (1808-1900)was an English non-muslim
Islamic scholar who translated the Qu'ran (transliterated Koran) in
1961 using a chronological method to sort verses. While the text is
not considered the most accurate compared to more modern
translations, it was extremely popular in its time, and was used in
the 1962 movie Lawrence of Arabia.
