Sinopsis

Excerpt from Selections From the Qur'án

The force and meaning Of the Qur an can only be rightly understood by constant reference to the life history Of Muhammad, whose mental development and religious conviction dominate the whole book. For the casual reader this is very difficult owing to the confused arrangement of the matter Of the Qur'an. Broadly speaking, the 114 Chapters (surahs) are arranged in order Of mass from the longest to the Shortest. In the main this is an inversion Of the chronological order, for the earliest utterances are confessedly those shortest ones which come near the end. Besides this there is a good deal of dislocation of matter, later revelations being joined up with earlier ones on the same subject or for other reasons not now discernible.
