They offer the vision of a meaningful and just life that anchors the religion of one-fifth of the world¿s inhabitants.The 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.
