The Holy Qur'an - Opracowanie zbiorowe - książka

Opis

The Holy Qur'an, also referred to as The Koran, is the revered scripture of Islam, as translated by Abdullah Yusuf Ali. This sacred text embodies the divine word delivered to the Prophet Muhammad by the angel Gabriel across 23 years. Initially, the revelations were memorized by the Prophet's companions, although literate followers also documented them during his lifetime. The Qur'an's first comprehensive compilation was undertaken by Abu Bakar, the inaugural Caliph, and was later recompiled in its original dialect by Uthman, the third Caliph, following the demise of the most skilled reciters in battle. Muslims hold the belief that the ultimate truths of The Holy Qur'an are conveyed most authentically in its original classical Arabic form. Recognizing the spread of Islam to the contemporary world, translation becomes vital for introducing and clarifying Islam to a broader audience. Abdullah Yusuf Ali's translation is widely regarded as the most accurate representation available in the English language.
