An important resource for non-Muslims seeking to understand the Quran in the light of Islamic tradition and critical academic scholarship.
Gabriel Said Reynolds , University of Notre Dame
A wonderful introduction to the sacred text of Islam. I will be recommending this book for any person who wants to understand Islam and the Quran better and more correctly.
Daniel L. Akin , Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
An eminently accessible and lucidly written introduction. For those embarking on their first Quranic journey, A Concise Guide to the Quran is a beacon and a road map.
A. J. Droge , author of The Quran: A New Annotated Translation
A handy-yet-comprehensive overview of Islams most sacred text. Skeptical yet respectful, this book will equip Christians and other non-Muslims to be well-informed about one of the most influential books in world history.
Mark Durie , Arthur Jeffery Centre for the Study of Islam
Ibrahim has struck the perfect balance between rigor and accessibility. This book is a must-read.
Peter G. Riddell , Australian College of Theology

Back Cover
I am indebted to Gabriel Said Reynolds, who read the first draft of this book and offered outstanding observations and helpful comments. His remarks have elevated the value in this resource. I am also thankful to my friend Brent Neely, who suggested some questions to be covered in the book. At Baker Academic, I thank Dave Nelson and Julie Zahm. They are supportive, professional, and dedicated to exceptionalism.
At Southern Seminary, I am grateful to my supervisors and colleagues, who constantly encourage me in my writing. My students are an inspiration. Through their diligence in research and questions in the classroom, they open new dimensions for me and give me direction for avenues to pursue in my books. Among these students, I am particularly grateful to my team at the Jenkins Center for the Christian Understanding of Islam. They are always seeking more knowledge in Islamic Studies. I wrote this book with them in mind, as well as for learners like them. I am so thankful for the resources of the Jenkins Center and the constant support my research receives from the leaders at Southern Seminary.
My wife is the hero behind all this. Her love, encouragement, and constant support for me and my work allow me time and space to write. To all, with gratitude, I say shukran !
