Overview

The Perseus Arabic Collection brings you two English translations of the Quran and two Arabic-English lexicons. These works will bring you a deeper understanding of the Muslim faith, making this collection perfect for apologetics or comparative studies.

One of the most significant pieces of modern literature is the Quran. The Quran is the single most important work in Arabic literature and the Muslim religion. According to Muslims, the Quran is considered to be the veritable word of God—following the Old and New Testaments—revealed to the prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel. This holy book of Islam provides the code of living for members of the Islamic faith, which accounts for over one billion people. Though Muslims believe that the Arabic translation of the Quran cannot be reproduced in any other language form, the two translations contained in this collection are rendered almost literally.

Along with the two translations are two Arab-English lexicons, containing all the classical Arabic words. These invaluable resources make Arab language study available to you and will bring you greater understanding as you read through the Quran in its original language. As a result, you can learn what Muslims believe and use that knowledge in comparative studies, apologetics, and evangelism to Muslims.

The Perseus Arabic Collection allows you to study the writings of Muhammad, and gain a better perspective and understanding of the Muslim faith and the text of the Quran.
