Its classical Arabic language resists simple translation, and its non-linear style of abstract musings defies categorization. Moreover, those who champion its sanctity and compete to claim its mantle offer widely diverging interpretations of its core message - at times with explosive results.Building on his intimate portrait of the Qur`ans prophet in Muhammad the World-Changer, Mohamad Jebara returns with a vivid profile of the book itself. While viewed in retrospect as the grand scripture of triumphant empires, Jebara reveals how the Qur`an unfolded over 22 years amidst intense persecution, suffering, and loneliness. The Life of the Qur`an recounts this vivid drama as a biography examining the books obscured heritage, complex revelation, and contested legacy.The Qur`an re-emerges with clarity as a dynamic life force that seeks to inspire human beings to unleash their dormant potential despite often-overwhelming odds - in order to transform themselves and the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52342176678176,"sku":"USED1250282365","price":16.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71QkVo1k5QL_2ea3e6ad-2138-43bb-aa89-a948dcce2519.jpg?v=1789165409","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-life-of-the-quran-from-eternal-roots-to-enduring-legacy-1250282365-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
