Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books An Introduction to the Glorious Quran Foreword In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate The Great Qur'an is known to be the most authenticated Book in the world. It is also the most widely and most frequently read Book, and has main­tained this worldwide recognition for centuries. As you read through the book in your hand, you shall discover why the Glorious Qur'an is so popu­lar.

The reading of the Holy Qur’an is considered a pious duty by Muslims. They believe that blessings flow even from the sound of its recitation. There is historical evidence indicating that from the very beginning, it made a profound impression on those who came to believe in it by hearing it. By now, people all over the world have enjoyed this pleasant internal sensation for centuries, and shall continue doing so for the reasons we shall read in this book.

Many people, men and women, children or adults, learn the entire Book by heart. Some people read the complete Qur'an several times during the blessed month of Ramadan. Many commit themselves to read it at least once in this month. Not everybody, however, is familiar with this Holy Book.

In fact, those who have not had the opportunity to become acquainted with the Noble Qur'an, may have a completely distorted impression about this unique Divine Scripture, as it has been subjected to ardent misrepresentation by powerful media for centuries. The deeper one goes into the world of Qur'anic knowledge, the more enjoyable the recitation of this Holy Book becomes. After all it is a part of our instinctive nature; it is the purest Voice of our Loving Creator.

Its adoration is beautifully inherent in the heart of humankind. An Introduction To The Glorious Qur’an is intended to give a portrait of the Holy Qur’an in a manner which is easy to follow for those who have not had the chance to become familiar with this Great Book. The grandeur of this Miraculous Scripture has often put beginners off, but it has also caused scholars to find satisfaction in immersing themselves deeply in the ocean of the Precious Qur'an.

Therefore, some of their writings can be found to be too deep and, perhaps, tiresome for the uninitiated. This book is designed for easy and exciting reading by letting the Great Qur’an talk about Itself.
