N. J. Dawood's masterful translation of the Koran, with parallel Arabic text, is praised for its ability to capture the thunder and poetry of the original. The Koran is universally accepted by Muslims as the infallible Word of God, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad by the Angel Gabriel nearly fourteen hundred years ago.

Its 114 chapters, or surahs, recount the narratives central to Muslim belief, forming one of the world's most influential prophetic works and a literary masterpiece. Above all, the Koran provides the rules of conduct that remain fundamental to the Muslim faith today, including prayer, fasting, almsgiving, pilgrimage to Mecca, and absolute faith in God and His apostle.
