"Appropriately epic and consistently erudite, yet accessible for lay readers."

Kirkus (Starred review
)
Based on extensive scholarship, an innovative biography of the central text of Islam
Over a billion copies of the Qu&rgrave;an exist – yet it remains an enigma. Its classical Arabic language resists simple translation, and its non-linear style of abstract musings defies categorization. Moreover, those who champion its sanctity and compete to claim its mantle offer widely diverging interpretations of its core message – at times with explosive results.
Building on his intimate portrait of the Qu&rgrave;an’s prophet in
Muhammad the World-Changer
, Mohamad Jebara returns with a vivid profile of the book itself. While viewed in retrospect as the grand scripture of triumphant empires, Jebara reveals how the Qu&rgrave;an unfolded over 22 years amidst intense persecution, suffering, and loneliness.
The Life of the Qu&rgrave;an
recounts this vivid drama as a biography examining the book’s obscured heritage, complex revelation, and contested legacy.
The Qu&rgrave;an re-emerges with clarity as a dynamic life force that seeks to inspire human beings to unleash their dormant potential despite often-overwhelming odds – in order to transform themselves and the world.
