Subject: Thank You for Your interest in the Quran!

Dear Sir/Madam,

We would like to thank you for requesting a copy of the Quran Translation through Discover Islam. Your initiative and effort to understand the Islamic faith and the Word of almighty God through the Quran are sincerely appreciated.

We hope this book will lead you to a new world of discovery and enlightenment!
According to Muslims, the Quran is the Final Word of almighty God (Allah) to all human beings revealed to the last Prophet of God, Muhammad, peace be upon him. Revealed in an exceptionally eloquent Arabic language, the Quran confirms the message brought by all the Prophets of Islam, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jesus, and Moses peace be upon them.

For those who heard it for the first time from the lips of Prophet Muhammad, the Quran was a living reality. Their hearts and minds were seized by it. They found each word of it deeply relevant to their concerns and experiences. They were completely transformed by it as individuals and as a community. As Canadian Muslims, we believe the Quran is as relevant, applicable, and insightful today, as it was 1400 years ago.

We hope no other venture in your life will be so momentous and crucial as your journey to and through the Quran - that is , the study of the Quran with an open mind and a conscious heart.

A Word of Caution: As you begin your study of the Quran, there are a few passages that you may not comprehend fully unless you know the context of their revelation. There are several commentaries of the Quran available that can help.

Please feel free to contact us if yu have any inquiries. If you are interested in visiting a Mosque or Islamic Centre, please contact us and we can arrange a visit for you.

Note: Enclosed is a list of suggested resources for further study about Islam.
