Synopsis
(from back cover)
The Quran is a book of directions, showing man the right path to tread. It is a Light which guides his faltering steps, giving him timely reminders of Allah's will, awakening his sleeping nature and conveying the Lord's admonition. It is a book that, in giving him the moral sense to distinguish right from wrong, cures him, and his society, of all ills. In that sense, it is a book of wisom, full of every expression of correct understanding. More, it is a book of laws, laying down for us the very foundations on which to build and organize society. In short, it provides everything that man - as an individual and as a member of society - can ever need. Without this, man can never be the gainer, no matter how hard he tries.
This edition of Yusuf Ali's translation is a compact one that does not contain any commentary, suitable for those who would like to carry an English Quran around, or those who are reading it for the first time.
