The History of the Qur'anic Text
From Revelation to Compilation:
A comparative study with the Old and New
Tetament.
By M.M. Al-Azam
Paperback. 376 Pages
Ref 163us Price: £18.95
With full colour images, meticulously
annotated and researched, The History of the Qur'anic Text provides
unique insights into the Qur'an's immaculate preservation throughout its
history, covering such topics as how divine revelations were received,
Prophet Muhammad's role in teaching and disseminating these verses, the
text's compilation under his guidance and the setting of its final shape
shortly after his death. It also looks at the origins of Arabic, its
palaeography and orthography, the so-called Mushaf of Ibn Mas'ud, and the
strict methodology employed in assembling textual fragments. This
scholarly work provides an essential basis for sincere study of the Qur'an
at a time when mis- representation of Islam's Holy Book has become all too
common.
The author also investigates the histories
of the Old and New Testaments, relying entirely on Judeo-Christian
sources, and by so doing the book attains an absolutely epic scope.
Through this the author makes a sophisticated and passionate case for
questioning the aims of Western scholarship towards Islam's Holy Book and
illustrates convincingly that such research, motivated by more than mere
curiosity, has no scientific bearing on the Qur'an's integrity.
A cornerstone addition to any personal library

Paperback. 112 Pages
Ref: 164 unPrice: £4.95
In Studying the Glorious Qur'an, we have an
immensely fascinating and readable work which offers us the means to
understand and appreciate how best to approach the study of the
Qur'an. This is achieved in the identification of the miracles which
the Qur'an presents. This book firmly establishes the acceptance of
the Qur'an as the final Word of God whilst still retaining the
Revelations of the earlier prophetic traditions and helps build an
understanding of the Qur'an as the Ultimate Guidance and Reformation
for all mankind, for all times.Examples from the lives of early Muslims including
the Prophet Muhammad, their ways and means of reciting and
contemplating the Qur'an are also included.
It compliments our new
Tafsir 'Understanding the Glorious Qur,an'.
