Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Extracts From the Coran in the Original: With English Rendering While acceptable to the Mahometans, I conceived that they might not be unattractive to others, either Hindoo or Christian, as illustrations at once of the beautiful and nervous diction of the Coran, and also of the better parts of Mussulman theology. With this view I compiled the extracts which form the present volume, intending to publish them in a tri-lingual form, - Arabic, English, and Urdoo. But when I had nearly completed the design, and began to take counsel with my Mahometan friends for carrying it into effect, I was assured that their people would probably be averse from the use of any such manual. Reverence for the "divine Coran" is so intense (I was told), that the very act of using extracts selected from it, would be held a desecration. Some of my own countrymen even, were startled at the proposal, thinking that the introduction of such a school book might be regarded as an undue recognition of the Coran. And so, finding little favour for my project anywhere, I dropped it. I now take it in hand again. I still venture to think that the publication of these extracts will be beneficial. It may promote amongst us the knowledge of portions of the teaching of Mahomet which are in themselves unobjectionable and often edifying. And it may also be useful, as affording a certain basis of agreement and common thought, for those who come into contact with the Moslem world.
