An excellent introduction to one of the world’s great holy books.
Selected in 1932 by the Sirdar, these extracts were chosen "...almost entirely by considerations of modern utility... I have tried to confine it to excerpts which seemed to me to supply guidance on the problems of modern life." -- Selections from the Koran by Sirdar Ikbal Ali Shah: Octagon Press, London, p. vii.

Sirdar Ali Shah’s introduction gives a fascinating glimpse into the Arab world at the time of The Prophet and of the way in which the Koran was written and its accuracy preserved to the present.
