| book description |

A major event in religious publishing, Approaching the Qurâ€™an captures the complexity, power and poetry of the early suras of the Qurâ€™an, the sacred scripture of Islam In this second edition, Michael Sells introduces important new translations of Qurâ€™anic suras and addresses in a new preface the ongoing controversy over teaching about Islam and the Qurâ€™an in American universities. Approaching the Qurâ€™an presents brilliant translations of the short, hymnic chapters, or suras, associated with the first revelations to the Prophet Muhammad. 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 worldâ€™s inhabitants. The book includes Sellsâ€™ â€˜Introduction to the Qurâ€™anâ€™, 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 Qurâ€™anic reciters chanting several of the early suras, allowing readers an opportunity to hear the Qurâ€™an in its original form. These recordings are freely available as MP3 downloads.
