A timeless, essential leather-bound edition of Islam's holy text-a classic translation of the Quran that offers a rigorous analysis of its theological, metaphysical, historical, and geographical backgrounds, and includes extensive study notes, special introductions by experts in the field, and is edited by a top modern Islamic scholar, respected in both the West and the Islamic world. Drawn from a wide range of traditional Islamic commentaries, including Sunni and Shia sources, and from legal, theological, and mystical texts, The Study Quran conveys the enduring spiritual power of the Quran and offers a thorough critical understanding of this holy text. Beautifully packaged with a rich, attractive two-color layout, this magnificent volume includes essays by 28 contributors covering the 114 surahs of the Quran, maps, useful notes and annotations in an easy-to-read two-column format, a timeline of historical events, and helpful indices.

With an introduction by its general editor, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, here is a nearly 2,000-page, continuous discussion of the entire Quran that provides a comprehensive picture of how this sacred work has been read by Muslims for over 1,400 years.
