The Qur’ān is the sacred religious book of Muslims around the world. Yet its history, from its inception in seventh-century Arabia to its transmission in the modern world, remains understudied. The twelve chapters in this book address this lacuna by examining multifaceted stages in the Qur’ān’s history and transmission through a broad range of methodological and theoretical approaches. The volume examines the earliest material evidence of the Qur’ān through its manuscript tradition and explores their content and form. This includes a focus on the Qur’ān’s unique orthography and insights into the Sanaa manuscripts. Additionally, this work provides new insights by broaching upon critical moments in the Qur’ān’s history, such as the codification of Abu Bakr.
A crucial component of the book deals with approaches to the variant readings of the Qur’ān, understood as being sanctioned through narrations on the aḥruf. It explores fresh insights into how Muslim scholars theorised such variances and the way they related them to the qira’āt, including how they approached the variant codices of prominent companions. Furthermore, this work explores understudied non-Qur’ānic transmissions of the Qur’ān alongside the historical development of Qur’ān translations. This volume advances the field of Qur’ānic studies and Qur’ānic history.
The book features contributions from F. Redhwan Karim, François Déroche, Éléonore Cellard, Yousry Elseadawy, Nazir Khan, Ammar Khatib, M.A.S Abdel Haleem, Zahed Fettah, Yasir Qadhi, Khairil Husaini Bin Jamil, Stephen Cúrto, Meysam Kohantorabi and Afsan Redwan.

Quranic Wisdom
Contemporary Approaches to The Qur’an
The Qur’an and Sunnah are the two primary sources of Muslim faith, life, law and morality. The Qur’an is for Muslims the foundation of their faith and the Sunnah is the framework of their morality. Together they constitute the two sources of the law (Shari ah) of God, a guide to prosperity and happiness in this life and to the bliss of the hereafter. Although the Qur’an and Sunnah are materially and formally two independent sources, they are inextricably bound in a dynamic relationship. The rulings and precepts (ahkam) of the Qur’an constitute the law (shar ) of God. They are supplemented by the precepts of the authentic Sunnah, which possess authority second only to the precepts of the Qur’an. The Qur’an commands Muslims, Whatever the Messenger gives you, that you must take, and whatever he forbids you, you must desist therefrom…. (59:7).
Three Messages from God to You
● Who created the universe? Who created us and the beings on the earth? Who gave life to billions of creatures on our plant? Is He our God? What is His name? Are there other creators than Him?
● Why do we live on the earth? What is the purpose of life? Did our creator really send us messages? What does He want to inform us? Are these messages true?
● Are the Torah, the Bible and the Quran true divine books? Are they related? Do they contain true Messages from God to us? Is there a final testament?
● Why all creatures die? Is there another life after death? Do we return to our Creator? Why?
Divine Speech
The Quran, the sacred scripture of Islam, is revered as the spoken word of God by approximately one-fifth of the world’s population. Since its inception, the power of the Quran has derived not only from its message, but also from the inimitable literary style and rhetorical impact that the Arabic scripture has on its audiences. Divine Speech: Exploring the Quran as Literature attempts to make some of the most recent Arabic and European-language scholarship on its literary features accessible to a wider, English-speaking audience. These features include its language and word choice, its use of figures of speech and other rhetorical devices, its manner of narrating parables and stories, and the structure, coherence, and the order of its “chapters”-aspects that typically remain mysterious to readers of English translations of the text. Divine Speech furnishes its readers with a better appreciation of the Quran from a literary perspective, and in the process stimulates interest in, and provides tools and resources for, further study of the scripture.
