The Gospel of Islam

The Quran is said to be the most-read book in the world. Its rhythms make it very musical to the ear and easy to remember. For more than thirteen centuries it has been the mainstay, solace, law and moral criterion of countless millions. Wisely understood, it is adaptable for man at every level of culture, of every race, in every age. It is indeed a universal scripture, an eternal world from that deeper Fount of Wisdom that most men have always loved to speak about as God.  The Gospel of Islam is not a translation of the Glorious Quran. This book is meant as an introduction or a guide-book to the Scripture itself, whose arrangement does not make quick reference easy for the ordinary reader.  This work has chosen beautiful, striking and typical passages from all parts of the Book and woven them into a logical sequence in short sections, each on a certain topic, and then completely translated afresh from the Arabic original. To help the reader to refer to the original context of each passage, the reference to chapter and verses is printed after it..
