Approaching the Qur’an presents brilliant translations of the
short, hymnic chapters, or Suras, associated with the first
revelations to the Prophet Muhammad. These early Suras contain some
of the most powerful, prophetic, and revelatory passages in
religious history, offering the vision of a meaningful and just
life that anchors the faith of one fifth of the world’s
inhabitants. In addition to these translations, Michael Sells
provides an introduction to the Qur’an, commentaries on the
Suras, a glossary of technical terms, and discussions of the
auditory nature and gender aspects of the Arabic text. An ideal
resource for students and interested lay readers, this third
edition also includes a new full Sura and associated commentary, a
new preface, and a thoroughly updated bibliography.
