The Life of the Qur'an: From Eternal Roots to Enduring Legacy

Discover the dynamic life force behind one of the most influential texts in history in The Life of the Qur'an by Mohamad Jebara. Over a billion copies of the Qur'an exist today, yet it remains an enigmatic and often misunderstood text. Written in classical Arabic, its complex and non-linear style challenges simple translation and defies easy categorization. Moreover, its message has been interpreted in vastly different ways, sometimes with profound consequences.

In this groundbreaking biography, Jebara builds on the intimate portrait he painted of the Prophet Muhammad in Muhammad the World-Changer to explore the life of the Qur'an itself. Far from being merely the grand scripture of empires, the Qur'an was revealed over 22 tumultuous years marked by intense persecution, suffering, and loneliness. Through vivid storytelling, Jebara uncovers the Qur'an's obscured heritage, complex process of revelation, and contested legacy.

The Life of the Qur'an offers readers a fresh perspective on the sacred text, presenting it not just as a book, but as a living, breathing force intended to inspire human beings to overcome adversity, unlock their potential, and transform both themselves and the world around them. In a time when the Qur'an's role is often debated, Jebara provides a hopeful view: the Qur'an is not the source of the Muslim world's challenges, but rather its untapped solution.

This innovative biography will appeal to readers seeking to deepen their understanding of Islam's central text and its profound impact on history and modern society.
