DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A Comprehensive Commentary on the Qurán, Vol. 1: Comprising Sale's Translation and Preliminary Discourse, With Additional Notes and Emendations, Together With a Complete Index to the Text, Preliminary Discourse, and Notes In presenting to the public the first volume of A Comprehensive Commentary on the Quràn, I think it necessary to make a brief statement as to the reasons which have led to the publication of this work, and the object sought to be attained thereby. The idea of preparing such a work grew out of the wants which I felt in the pursuit of my own study of the Quràn, and in the work of a missionary among Muslims. The time required to gather up the results of the labours of various writers on Islam; the difficulty of preserving these results in a form suitable for convenient reference; and the still greater difficulty of bringing the truth thus acquired to bear on, the minds of Muslims, owing to the absence of any medium whereby the proof-texts, referred to in the English works by chapter and verse, may be found in the original copies current among Muhammadans, where no such mode of reference is used: - all these suggested the great need of a work which would remove in some degree at least these obstacles to the study of the Quràn, and thus promote a better knowledge of Islam among missionaries. It will thus be seen that I have not laboured simply to make a book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
