Product Overview
The Message of the Quran by Muhammad Asad, dedicated to people who think, serves as a matchless aid to understanding the Holy Book of Islam and provides in itself a complete education in the faith.
As the distinguished British Muslim, Hasan Gai Eaton, explains in a new Prologue to the work, there exists no more useful guide to the Quran in the English language than Muhammad Asads translation and commentary, and no other translator has come so close to conveying the meaning of the Quran to those who may not be able to read the Arabic text or the classical commentaries.
Muhammad Asads obituary in the Independent praised his magnum opus, The Message of the Quran as a work without rival in English as an interpretation of the Holy Book, not only in its intellectual engagement with the text, but also in its intimate, subtle and profound understanding of the pure classical Arabic of the Quran. This new edition makes the work even more accessible by introducing:
1. A complete Romanized transliteration of the Arabic text.
2. A supporting guide to pronunciation.
3. A newly compiled general index of names and key concepts.
4. Original artwork by the internationally renowned Muslim artist and scholar, Dr. Ahmed Mustafa.
The unique value of Muhammad Asads lifelong labor in bringing to light the teachings of the Quran is becoming widely and deservedly recognized at a time of growing worldwide interest in what the universal message of Islam has to offer mankind.
