SELECTIONS FROM THE KORAN
Sirdar Ikbal Ali Shah
Octagon Press, London, 1980
Sirdar Ali Shah's introduction gives a fascinating glimpse into the Arab world at the time of The Prophet and of the way in which the Koran was written and its accuracy preserved to the present.
Selected in 1932 by The Sirdar, these extracts were chosen 'almost entirely by considerations of modern utility... I have tried to confine it to excerpts which seemed to me to supply guidance on the problems of modern life.'
