With the current turmoil in the Middle East, there is a growing interest about Islam?the world?s second largest religion and one of the fastest growing?and its holy book, the Koran (or Qur?an). Now, with this easy-to-follow, plain-English guide, you can explore the history, structure, and basic tenets of Islam?s sacred scripture.

The Koran For Dummies is for non-Muslims interested in the Koran as well as Muslims looking to deepen their understanding. Islamic scholar Sohaib Sultan provides a clear road map, revealing:
