The Koran is a religious text that is considered the holiest book in Islam. It is believed to be the word of God as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad over a period of 23 years. The book is divided into 114 chapters, or Surahs, which are arranged in order of length, with the longest Surahs at the beginning and the shortest at the end. The Koran covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of God, the creation of the universe, the history of humanity, and the principles of morality and ethics. It also contains detailed instructions on how Muslims should live their lives, including rules for prayer, fasting, and pilgrimage. This edition of The Koran is translated by E.H. Palmer, a renowned Orientalist and linguist who was one of the first western scholars to study Islam in depth. His translation is considered one of the most accurate and faithful renditions of the original Arabic text.This is the translation by E.H. Palmer. Although I have read this work, I'm not as familiar with the issues surrounding its various renderings into English as I should be. If Mr. Palmer's translation is widely held to be unnacceptable, please let me know, and I'll see if I can't find another.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
