This new work presents a concise and accessible introduction to the Qur'an. Muhammad Abu-Hamdiyyah first explores the concept of deity, including the Christian and Jewish understanding of God, and second discusses the Qur'anic message from the perspective of modern knowledge. This is an ideal textbook for students with no prior knowledge of the complexities of the Qur'an's message.
Dr Abu-Hamdiyyah was Professor of Chemistry at the University of Kuwait (1973―1990). He is now retired and doing full-time research on the exposition of the Quranic discourse and the evolution of religion in the Near East.
