About the Qur'an
The Qur'an is one of the most significant pieces of modern literature because of how it has shaped modern culture and the make up of world religions. Its impact is visible in the adherence of approximately 1 billion people to the Islamic religion and the teachings of their prophet Muhammad. Originally written by Muhammad in the 6th century A.D., this work is seen by many as the pinnacle of Arabic literature.
NOTE: Logos Bible Software is not endorsing the Qur'an as an additional Bible for your library, but rather as a tool for researching and studying the text of another world religion. As an aid for comparative religion studies, the Qur'an should be seen as another tool for research within your library. Logos strives to carry texts that will allow its users to better study the Word of God and its relation and application to the world in which we live.
