Title: THE QURAN BEHELD: An English Translation from the Arabic - Hardcover
Author: Shaykh Nuh Ha Mim Keller
ISBN13: 9781590080832
Publisher: Amana Publications
“THIS WORK solves an enigma that has puzzled many readers first coming to Islam through English translations of the Quran. The Arabic original stunned hearers in their own language with its unutterable evocative power, incisive arguments, the sharp relief of its contrasts, striking imagery, and precise detail. Most translations stun few. They seem somehow out of focus, vague, the thread of discourse is often inexplicably lost, and they are seldom moving or powerful. The present work is called The Quran Beheld because its translator found that the classical Islamic curriculum for learning the Quranic sciences lifts the veil from the divine masterpiece like stepping from a dark and silent house into a lively spring day outside. Everything changes.”

great experience
This was the second time I ordered from Firdousbooks.
Each time they were gifts and so I was worried about how long it would take. and the delivery and condition of the package. I was happy to see it came in sooner than expected and all weather proofed box. I supposed it was a precaution do to the fact we are in the month of November. I was much appreciated! Would be my go to online book store from now on!
