Customer Reviews

Nothing in this book is based on facts, what a lie about understanding the Qur'an.

This is the most biased, full of outright lies on the Qur'an. I found very little if anything remotely true in their assessment of Islam or the Muslim religion. My copy went straight into the trash; I suggest if you are as foolish as I was to waste money on such a collection of lies and distortions, send your copy to the trash as well. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THIS TRASH!!!

Easy to read / understand

The book did all I wanted; I.E. have a better understanding of what the Koran teaches

Good Qur'an Da'wah

Whenever it comes to learning about the Qur'an, or learning about Islam, I always reccomend having a companion with you or at least a book that helps you to understand it. It is not that the book is hard to understand, however it is unlike any other book you have ever read and you may have questions or need guidance in it's reading. This book is a laymens look at the text and makes various concepts digestable, as well as sweeps away various misconceptions. This is not meant to be a scholarly book, but for those new to the religion, or at least curious. If you want to learn more i reccomend with this the "Complete Idiots Guide to Islam".

Excellent

Excellent book. very readable. Anyone who intends to read the Koran needs to get this book to go along with it. It made me go back and reread my Koran.

WOW!

What a great book, I loved it!! The lady sitting next to me was equally impressed and she was Muslim!!

Excellent! I learned a lot--and I'm a Muslim.

I had previously been impressed by Yahiya Emerick's "Complete Idiot's Guide (CIG) to Understanding Islam," so when I saw the CIG for the Qur'an, I had to pick it up. Like all CIGs, it's an easy read. You'll find yourself browsing through the book many times--seeing what catches your eye, as well as reading it all the way through. I'd recommend this book for all--both Muslims and non-Muslims alike. I think pretty much anybody will learn something from going through it. It would also be a great dawa tool, along with the CIG to Understanding Islam.
