Product Description
A simple, explanatory guide to Islam's central text.
Taking the same approach as the bestselling
The Complete Idiot's Guide(r) to the Bible, this book presents a balanced overview of the Koran, explaining not only the "flow" of the Koran, but also what it has to say about Allah and humanity, virtue, justice, life on earth, the afterlife, women, love, unbelievers, faith, and tradition.

Reader ReviewsI 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.
