Description

Explore the complex relationship between oral tradition and written scripture in Islam. While Islam is often called a religion of the book, the practice of the faith relies heavily on recitation. The word Quran itself means recitation, referring to the words believed to be revealed to Muhammad. This book examines the tension between the oral nature of the text and the term kitab, which is commonly translated as book by both scholars and Muslims. This work investigates why the scripture frequently refers to itself as a book despite the historical reality that the text was first compiled in written form years after the Prophet's death. It looks at how physical books function within Islamic ritual and what the use of written terminology implies about authority and meaning. For students of religion, history, or Islamic studies, this text provides a deep look into how the scripture defines itself.

Key Features

Analyzes the meaning of the term Quran as it relates to the actual words revealed to Muhammad.
