ABSTRACT
We have revealed it as an Arabic Qur’an so that you may understand. (Qur’an 12:2)
e Qur’an is the Muslim scripture and the primary authority for Muslim life. It is comparable in some respects to the Christian and Jewish scriptures. An Englishspeaking non-Muslim who first approaches it will probably find some of the content familiar, but the form and the style will often seem strange. is chapter will focus on how Muslims understand their scripture and the influence it has on their life and culture.
