Most of these early revelations appear at the end of the written text and are commonly reached only by the most resolute reader of existing English translations. These suras contain some of the most powerful, prophetic and revelatory passages in religious history. They offer the vision of a meaningful and just life that anchors the religion of one-fifth of the world's inhabitants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book includes Sells' 'Introduction to the Qur'an', commentaries of the suras, a glossary of technical terms, and chapters discussing the sound nature and gender aspects of the Arabic text. It is enriched by recordings of Qur'anic reciters chanting several of the early suras, allowing readers an opportunity to hear the Qur'an in its original form. These recordings are freely available as MP3 downloads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Sells\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0861546350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780861546350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ONEWorld Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.58d","brand":"Michael Sells","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072454160639,"sku":"9780861546350","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4795be5e-06b6-4a7d-85cc-e3902ae269d2.jpg?v=1685442064","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/approaching-the-quran-the-michael-sells-9780861546350","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
