Approaching the Qurʾán : the early revelations von Michael Anthony Sells
The author provides a thorough understanding of the background behind Quranic chapters that non-Arabic-speakers would not pick up on otherwise. Very interesting.
I appreciate the language-oriented perspective of this book, but my favorite part is the list of audio downloads of Arabic recitations of Qur'anic verses. Listening to these helped me better understand the points Sells was making, but it also helped me get a glimpse of the power and the beauty of the Qur'an. Some of the recordings gave me chills.
