Understanding the Islamic Scripture

This book makes the Quran accessible to the English-speaking student who lacks the linguistic background to read it in the original Arabic by offering accessible translations of, and commentary on, a series of selected passages that are representative of the Islamic scripture.

Mustanstir Mir, Director of the Center for Islamic Studies at Youngstown State University, offers clear translations and analysis of 35 selected passages of the Quran that will help students understand what kind of book the Quran is, what the scripture says, and how it says it.
