| Summary | "Selections from the Kur-án" by Edward William Lane and Stanley Lane-Poole is a scholarly work that compiles significant extracts from the Qur'an, written in the late 19th century. This collection aims to introduce readers to the core teachings and stories of Islam, presenting key themes such as the nature of God, the role of the prophet Muhammad, and reflections on morality and faith. It serves as an accessible guide for a general audience interested in understanding the Qur'an without the challenge posed by its complete text. The opening of the book provides a preface that outlines the rationale behind the selections made by Lane, addressing the common difficulties in reading the Qur'an due to its structure and language. Lane emphasizes that his intention is to satisfy the curiosity about Islamic teachings while presenting them in an engaging manner. He describes the book's organization, which splits the selections into discussions on the foundational aspects of Islam and its perspectives on other religions. The preface illustrates how the work has served both academic circles and Muslims unfamiliar with Arabic, thus underscoring its significance as a bridge between cultures and knowledge systems.
