The Coran; Its Composition and Teaching and the Testimony It Bears to the Holy Scriptures

by William Muir

Excerpt from The Coran: Its Composition and Teaching, and the Testimony It Bears to Holy Scriptures

What has been now attempted will, it is hoped, prove of some service by way of introduction to the study of the coran.

I have to express my obligation to Dr. Weil for his admirable introduction to the Coran 94 from which I have freely borrowed, although from some of his views on the teaching of the Coran and the prospects of Islam, I have felt bound to dissent.

[Joseph Hazboun · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am reading an excellent translation of the book into Arabic... Therefore I have no issues with the blurred or unclear pages in the original text.
The book is very important from an apologetic point of view, as one of the points of discussion is the integrity of the Gospel and the Bible in general with regard to Muslim claims that the Bible was tampered with. The book - in its 2nd chapter - goes through all the Coran verses that prove the integrity of the Bible at the time of Mohammad.
