Koran without the fire and brimstone

This is a beautiful collection of Koranic teachings without the parts that never resonated with me.

Nice book

I love this book and have taken to reading it throught out the day during Ramadan. The translations are really inspiring and I have taged many pages for study so far.

Buy it!!!

This book delivers the universal message that all spiritual beings yearn for in selected verses from the Holy Quran. The translations are easy to read and well written.I'd recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about Islam and spirituality.

All the walls of misconceptions must crumble to the ground.

It's me again. I just wanted to rectify the names of the scholars from whose translations of The Holy Quran, this book by Camille Adams Helminski is based. The names of those scholars are Abdullah Yusuf Ali and Muhammad Asad.

All the walls of misconception must crumble to the ground.

Camille Helminski has done a wonderful job bringing this book to the world especially when so many misconceptions exist between Islam and other major religions.Drawn on the english translations of Yusuf Ali and Asad Ali, the author has favoured us by compiling an absolutely valuable collection of the most common verses from The Holy Quran.Sister Camille is a big fan of the famous Sufi poet Jallaluddin Rumi. Her introduction on the text is yet another major icebreaker.Congratulations.
