The Holy Quran
Muslims believe the Holy Quran is the ultimate source of guidance for mankind. It is the confirmation and explanation of the previous scripture revealed in the Torah and the Bible. It is the only book known to mankind that is original, unchanged and untranslated. Transliterations of the Holy Quran are available in many languages including English.
The Holy Quran is intended to be read, recited and followed. Recitiation of the first chapter of the Quran (Al Fatiha) is completed by every Muslim 17 times a day during regualr prayer making the Quran the most recited book in the world.
We have revealed to you the Book (The Quran) so that you may clearly explain to them the reality of those things in which they differ - it is a guidance and blessing for those people who believe.

This is an easy to read preliminary book for Muslims and non-Muslims. It provides the reader with a basic understanding of Islam including very good descriptions of our Beliefs, Acts of Worship, Values and Morals, and the Islamic Way of Life. The overview also explores family life, daily life and human relationships.
Two of the most meaningful sections are the glossary of Arabic - English terms and the list of suggested reading. This book is a wonderfuladdition to your personal library for reference and an ideal gift for sharing.
