Der Heilige Koran (Quran)

The Holy Qur'an forms the basis of Islam. The unadulterated Word of God contains all the commandments and instructions by which a Muslim should live his life. A guide for all areas of life, from the individual's relationship with his Creator to the formation of international communities. Great prophecies about the development of human history are clearly mentioned as well as references about past peoples. The basic task of the Qur'an is to help people achieve the goal of life: spiritual and physical perfection to reach union with God. God's word is different from human word. It has a style and use of language that sometimes deviates from the conventional and transcends man-made grammatical and syntactical laws. Thanks to its language, the Quran is a masterpiece of high literature whose beauty and richness of expression are unrivalled by human effort. This German edition is one of the best and most respected Quran translations available. With a detailed introduction on the philosophy of religion, index and notes on important topics.
