The Holy Quran (Medium Size, Paperback) (Translation By Abdullah Yusuf Ali)

The Quran is a book of directions, showing human beings the right path to tread. It is a Light which guides people's faltering steps, giving them timely reminders of Allah's will, awakening their sleeping nature, and conveying the Lord's admonition. It is a book that, in giving people the moral sense to distinguish right from wrong, cures them and their society of all ills. In that sense, it is a book of wisdom, full of every expression of correct understanding.
Moreover, it is a book of laws, laying down for us the very foundations on which to build and organize society. In short, it provides everything that human beings—as individuals and as members of society—could ever need. Without this, we can never advance, no matter how hard we try.

The Quran explains that it is the One God alone who sustains us throughout our lives here on earth. Through Him our hearts are set at ease, for it is He who provides true warmth in life. He rescues us in times of peril, assists us in the hour of need. All power rests in His hands: honor and glory will be the reward of any nation who looks to Him for support, while only disgrace and humiliation will be the lot of those who abandon Him. To know this is to hold the key to all the treasures in life: He who possesses this key gains all; he who loses it, loses all.
