The Koran (Al-Qur'an)

The Qur'an stands as one of the world’s most influential religious works, shaping the beliefs and daily lives of billions. This edition presents a faithful English translation by Rev. J. M. Rodwell, accompanied by a concise introduction that places the revelation in its 7th‑century Arabian setting. Listeners will hear a text that moves from grand proclamations to intimate counsel, all rendered in clear, rhythmic language.

The book is organized into 114 chapters, or suras, ranging from short poetic passages to longer discourses on law, history, and spirituality. The introductory notes explain the life of the Prophet Muhammad and the early community’s challenges, giving context without overwhelming detail. As you listen, the verses unfold as a living voice that addresses moral choice, social justice, and the search for meaning.
