Comprising 114 surahs, the Quran interlaces proclamation, narrative, law, and exhortation into a coherent revelation. Meccan and Medinan passages advance themes of tawhid, prophecy, judgment, and communal ethics. Its style marries saj (rhymed prose), ring composition, and abrupt address-shifts, with parables and biblical interlocutions, while precise rulings on worship, inheritance, and contract sit beside hymnic praise designed for oral recitation. According to Islamic belief, Allah authors the text, revealed to Muhammad by Gabriel across some twenty-three years (c. 610632 CE) in the Hijaz. The needs of a nascent communityritual, law, leadershipshape sequence and tone. Muslim historiography reports memorization and codification culminating in an Uthmanic recension, preserving guidance (huda), mercy, and an abiding reminder (dhikr) for humankind. Readers of scripture, Arabic poetics, law, and Late Antique history will find this work indispensable. I recommend a reliable, annotated translation and attention to Meccan/Medinan contexts, thematic cross-references, and the cadence of recitation. Approached patiently, the Quran reveals layered argumentation and a moral imagination that continues to animate intellectual inquiry and spiritual life.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.
