A Simple Koran: Readable and Understandable: Volume 3 (The Islamic Trilogy) by Bill Warner

by Center for the Study of Political Islam

The standard Koran is arranged by length of chapter. The longest chapter is at the beginning and the shortest chapters are at the end. This makes it confusing and hard to understand. Now you can read and understand A SIMPLE KORAN. The words of the Koran are woven back into the historical life of Mohammed. In actual fact, the Koran did unfold over the course of Mohammed's life. A SIMPLE KORAN recreates the historical order of the Koran of Mohammed's day. The first chapters start with Mohammed's first recitations and the last chapters are those he recited before he died. Mohammed's life gives the Koran clarity and meaning. It becomes a powerful, epic story. Read A SIMPLE KORAN. It will change the way you see the world's events.

[AJ Shreim · Rating 2 out of 5]

The essence of this book is the fact that the author is on a mission. The weakness is that the author has used a very bad word translation of the Quran loosing both the richness of the Arabic language as well as the meaning.
The statistics are interesting but they have not been qualified or taken in their context.

The strength is the story telling setting that the author had used.

I suggest that a scholar take this book and rewrite it subjectively while reviewing the original Book in Arabic and taking the meaning from different explanations.

An easy to read book that helps the non-Arabic speaker decipher the Koran. The same author has written The Abridged Koran which is shorter and even easier to read.
