An Abridged Koran: The Reconstructed Historical Koran

by Anonymous (Type), Cspi

Now you can read and understand the Koran. A powerful method of ordering, sorting and categorizing the Koran makes it easy to read. When Mohammed's life is woven back into the Koran, meaning is restored. The Abridged Koran is a powerful epic story. The Koran is very repetitive, for instance, the story of Moses and Pharaoh is told more than thirty times. An Abridged Koran is abridged by removing the repetition. You learn the full meaning since only repeated material is removed. Islam is a political system, a culture and a religion based upon the Koran, Sira (life of Mohammed) and Hadith (the Traditions). The Islamic Trilogy series integrates the three primary sources to give the entire Islamic political doctrine-the treatment of non-Muslims. The Trilogy is authoritative and fact-based. All statements can be confirmed by the use of reference numbers. The knowledge is integrated-all of the primary sources are used to give the complete picture of Islam's political doctrine.

Reviews

[Jeff S]

It seems to be a much more efficient and contextualized read than the standard Koran.

Worth reading fast, for general idea of the Koran. This is a condensed Koran. It removes the repetitions (though the author fails to note the many plausible reasons that these repetitions might be considered a key part of the text). And it re-organizes the material in order by date and then by subject. So you better understand why a story is being told, or why a paragraph is talking about resisting the Meccans (bc Mohammed wrote it while they were being particularly resistant).

The book is notably biased by hyperlogic and antireligion. But tries very hard not to be biased, and this failed effort shows and is appreciated.

What can I say, the translation was well done and it was informative and easy to read. Bill Warner did a good job. The original author(s) wrote a dangerous and violent book that is particularly scary for women. I wish it had not been written, but given so many people follow it, people should read it so we know what the teachings of this large religion are.

Excellent

This approach to the Koran is most excellent! Warner penetrates through all the nuances and nonsense of this most dangerous “religion” in a readable and in-depth way.
