Overview

The Quran with Christian Commentary offers a unique introduction to the primary religious text of Islam. Alongside an easy-to-read modern English translation of the Quran, author Gordon D. Nickel provides in-text notes to explain the meaning of various surahs (chapters) and ayat (verses), their interpretive history and significance in Muslim thought, and similarities and differences when compared to biblical passages.

Top Highlights

“Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians—whoever believes in God and the Last Day, and does righteousness—they have their reward with their Lord. (There will be) no fear on them, nor will they sorrow.” (Page 44)

“Surely We sent down the Torah, containing guidance and light. By means of it the prophets who had submitted rendered judgment for those who were Jews, and (so did) the rabbis and the teachers, with what they were entrusted of the Book of God, and they were witnesses to it. So do not fear the people, but fear Me, and do not sell My signs for a small price. Whoever does not judge by what God has sent down, those—they are the disbelievers.” (Pages 143–144)

“‘We are Christians.’ That is because (there are) priests and monks among them, and because they are not arrogant.” (Page 150)

“Piety is not turning your faces toward the East and the West, but (true) piety (belongs to) the one who believes in God and the Last Day, and the angels, and the Book, and the prophets, and (who) gives his wealth, despite his love for it, to family, and the orphans, and the poor, and the traveler, and beggars, and for the (freeing of) slaves, and (who) observes the prayer and gives the alms, and those who fulfill their covenant when they have made it, and those who are patient under violence and hardship, and in times of peril. Those are the ones who are truthful, and those—they are the ones who guard (themselves).” (Pages 60–61)

“Surely (there is) indeed a group of them who twist their tongues with the Book, so that you will think it is from the Book, when it is not from the Book. And they say, ‘It is from God,’ when it is not from God. They speak lies against God, and they know (it).” (Page 93)
