ABSTRACT

This is a new and original study on the Qur’an, the inspirations revealed to Muhammad in the seventh century CE. The study is concerned with observations on the structure (the building blocks or units) and the message of the Qur’an. It does not deal with the theological interpretations which accumulated across the ages, nor with any of the recent studies dealing with the Qur’an, but instead concentrates exclusively on the discourse of the Qur’an with the aim of examining the contents and extracting the overall plan and direction it presents. The author interacts directly with the text of the Qur’an in a straightforward objective manner to produce a fresh presentation of the Qur’anic discourse from a modern perspective.
