In-store loction: Shelf 3.6
By Ahmad von Denffer, Islamic Foundation, Paperback, 200 pages
This classic and popular introduction to the sciences was developed to interpret and understand Islam's holy book and is ideal for all serious students of the Quran.
Precise, yet comprehensive, it covers the traditional disciplines, including the meaning and contexts of revelation, the history and transmission of the text, and exegesis, as well as more contemporary topics like the recording of the Quran, the history of Orientalist approaches, and a survey of translations. It ends with a guide for the correct recitation of, and etiquette toward, the Quran.
