The Qur'an, believed by Muslims to be the word of God, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1,400 years ago. It is the supreme authority in Islam and the living source of all Islamic teaching; it is a sacred text and a book of guidance that sets out the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic religion. It has been one of the most influential books in the history of literature. Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, it has nevertheless remained difficult to understand in its English translations.

Capturing its brilliantly compact poetry and finely wrought, purposeful prose, Alter renews the Old Testament as a source of literary power and spiritual inspiration.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 8
The Quran, a book that brings glad tidings to mankind along with divine admonition, stresses the importance of man’s discovery of truth on both spiritual and intellectual planes. Every book has its objective, and the objective of the Quran is to make man aware of the creation plan of God. That is, to tell man why God created this world; what the purpose is of settling man on earth; what is required from man in his pre-death life span; and what he is going to confront after death.

This is an audiobook containing the 613 laws of Torah narrated by Brother El. According to scripture, in Joshua 1:7-8, when we meditate upon these laws and obey them it will bring forth good success in our life. The sacrificial laws are now done away because the Messiah is our holy lamb of sacrifice. The laws of capital punishment are done away because we are to walk in mercy, forgiveness, and love toward our brothers and sisters.

Just what the doctor ordered!
This reading of the Torah excels in all the areas that truly matter. The narrator conveys the story with true emotion. She commands strong and accurate pronuncuation of Hebrew names. The rhythm of the Torah as she reads is perfectly timed. I am a very hard to please critic when it comes to the way this book is read. So many times I hear it being done without conviction and passion. Finally ..... an excellent job has been done here. Thank you. So much. God bless Shabbot Shalom. 😇

A book that is the underpinning of the Jewish faith. I find that this is a book with incredible wisdom, knowledge, and general awe. This is a book to be revered and selected as a developmental and maturative piece of literature that is bound to develop and further maturate, any young person coming of age like myself.

the narrator/reader did an excellent job.
