This book is first of all dedicated to thefamilies and loved ones of those whose lives were taken in theSeptember 11, 2001, attack. Hopefully, it will give the WesternWorld an illuminating view of that book spawning the beliefs andthe hatred which led to that terrible event. Moreover, it is hopedthat this book will increase awareness of the greater loomingthreat posed by those beliefs.

Additionally, this book is dedicated in love tothe English-speaking descendants of those who spread Islam by thepower of the sword in the invasion of my native country of Egypt1400 years ago, killing many of my ancestors, and raping theirwives and daughters. And although many of the descendants are stilltoday invading and terrorizing the world, before and sinceSeptember 11, 2001, it is my sincere desire that they come to knowthe truth, not only about the falsehood contained in the Qur'an,but the truth of the hope of salvation offered to them through theBible in the person of Jesus Christ. This book is also dedicated tothose who are even more dangerous, who deceive the West, as theyintentionally alter their book and its teachings to make it morepalatable to Western cultures. They began by naming it holy (eventhough the word holy does not exist in its title in the originalArabic), then they present it as peaceful and loving (even thoughthere is not any peace or love in it) and finally they presenttheir leader, the fabricator of their cult, as a prophet (eventhough he did not prophesy anything).

I present this true and accurate Englishtranslation of the kareem (generous) Qur'an so that those who donot know the truth about Islam from its original source ofcorruption and hate may know the truth that will set them free. Iam especially concerned for those who are being deceived andbecoming Muslim as a result of false teaching. I pray that as youread this book the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the true God, mayguide you to see the truth about Islam and to see that the Qur'anis little more than a corrupt and repetitive telling of the storiesof the Bible and other stories invented by Mohammed and others.

My prayer is that the truth will shine and thatabundant and eternal life will be received. Jesus is the way andthe truth and the life, as he said in John 14:6: "I am the way, thetruth, and the life; no one cometh unto the Father, but by me."

There is perhaps no topic timelier in today'stumultuous geopolitical situation than the study of the modern riseand expansion of Islam. Since the violent assault on the West onSeptember 11, 2001, many in our society have been unwillinglyforced to consider and at least attempt to understand what is oftenreferred to as Islamic Fundamentalism or the Jihadist Movement.Simultaneously, the airwaves have been filled with well-funded andwell-organized spin doctors from such groups as the Council onAmerican-Islamic Relations (CAIR) who make frequent appearances ontalk shows and grant sound bites with the repeated mantra thatIslam is the religion of peace. News stories often speak usingterms such as Moderate Muslims to attempt to separate the averageMuslim from those who are labeled as the more extreme elementswithin the faith of Mohammed.

The confusion concerning the true nature of thereligion of Islam is amplified with every terrorist assault and thesubsequent attempt to counter-balance with thetake-my-word-for-it claim that Islam is the religion of peace.Where the modern seeker typically fails to ascertain the truth isthe illogical attempt to define a religion by the actions and wordsof those who profess to follow it, instead of going to the SOURCEof the religion, in this case, the Qur'an. It is only as we readthe actual revelations of the prophet Mohammed that we can gainan accurate picture of what Islam truly believes and what itsnature truly is. It is possible that a group can profess topractice a faith, but in reality they are far removed from theactual teachings of their sacred text. The Lord Jesus made asimilar charge against the Jewish religious leaders of His day,when He said that they were not actually practicing Judaism asrevealed in the Old Testament scriptures, but He said, You teachthe traditions and doctrines of men as the commandments of God.Hundreds of years of tradition have layered practices and beliefsamong Muslims worldwide that are not found within their sacredtext, and even run contradictory to it. The actual tenets andarticles of faith and practice must be gained by studying the text,not the people, of a revelatory religion, such as Islam.

The explosive growth rate that Islam enjoyed inthe early centuries due to the spread of the religion by the sword,in modern times has been replaced by expansive growth due to theplowshare of professed peace. This has been an increasinglydifficult sell, especially in light of the historically aggressivepolicies of Islam, as well as the clearly unambiguous texts withinthe Quran which speak of intolerance, violence, subjugation ofwomen, polygamy, and the ultimate goal of domination of allreligions eventually by Islam. The embarrassing and straightforwardnature of the original Arabic text of Islams Holy Book created aformidable barrier for those seeking to spread Islam in Western(viz a viz English) nations. It is crucial that an accurate Englishtranslation (not interpretation) of the Quran is produced for theeducated seekers of the true nature of Islam.
