The Koran For Dummies

This book is fantastic it has a very good index so you can look for specific things and it explains things very simple and made it very easy for me to understand what I was reading If you want to understand the Quran and you are not Muslim this is the best book you can read I have a much better understanding of some things now

Exactly as described!

I bought "the Koran for Dummies" because I needed a companion to guide me through a reading of the Quran (alternative spelling) in order to assess the many claims that wing nuts on the web have been passing around around concerning Islam and Moslems. I figured that if I had a better understanding of the Quran I could either accept or reject/modify those claims. So far (I have read only seven chapters) the book has been excellent and has given me a better understanding of the links of the Quran to the Torah and the Bible as well as those areas where it differs from them. To date I have yet to find any written passages that would justify the extremist behavior of Islamist terrorists. More Americans need to read this book and the Quran so that we can quell reactionary behavior among some of our fellow Americans and to facilitate a more tolerant and accepting attitude toward other world religions.

Pleasantly surprised by the organization and details of the content. Valuable to those who wish to understand without bias the Book, the Religion and the people who profess to follow the Book but do not always do. The author has clearly made every effort to write for a wide audience.

Well written and valid. The product arrived as promised and makes it possible to both understand the Koran (Quran) while being an interesting read.

This could be an excellent book language but transliteration will not cut it. One needs to learn the scrip also. The only thing I can say about this book is that it explains the language very well. Pete

My first "Dummies" book, and I loved it. I'm likely to buy more "Dummies" books. If you want an excellent overview a subject, I'm guessing, based on this book, that this is the way to go to get started in a complex subject.

Hakuna Matata = There are no problems (Simba in The Lion King). Excellent - Merchandise arrived as described, excellent condition, prompt and well packaged, great quality, value and dependable service - I'm a happy camper: Thanks, and may the Force be with you!

Thanks to Gandhiji and Dalai Lama ,I by keeping an open mind get tons of spirituality from all religions and their scriptures and this one sure is simply awesome.I wish the price were little lesser so everyone can have such awesome book for their personal libraries.

I love the book. Very simple to read.

I had decided that if I was to criticise religion, I should really find out about it. The Koran for dummies was about my level of understanding after trying to read a straight translation. It has shown me that I shall have to invest in the Toran and Bible to gain some form of level critic. The book appears to be written well ( no doubt a purist would disagree ) and put into understandable english, which is a difficult translation from the Arabic

Amazing book I received the book in excellent condition

All well. Thank you!
