The Qur an has been interpreted by many scholars (Muslims and non-Muslims) for centuries, and many interpretive works presently in circulation are more or less similar in tone and contents. The Essential Message of Islam, however, is a challenging book that stands apart from the traditional interpretive works. Evolved primarily by a computer-aided scrutiny of the Qur anic text, the book provides an invaluable source that offers eye-opening and enlightening insights to the Muslims sacred Text, without any personal, sectarian, cultural or gender influences. The book removes any misconception about Muslim-Christian-Jewish relationships, presenting Islam as a Universal Religion that promotes a peaceful coexistence of people of all faiths.
