Reader ReviewsDawood's translation of The Koran is by far the most readable for the western audience. The Koran comes alive with the beauty and majesty of one of the most influential books in the world. One is struck by the similarity to the Old Testement with elaboration on different events, which give autheticity as the Word of God. Passages on Jesus and Mary show great reverence for these Bible characters, which leaves one wondering why does Christianity, Judism and Islam not get along?? Exposure of Islam, via The Koran, translated by Dawood, can have a healing effect on a large population, if they would take the time to read the Truth found in these passages.
