This book provides an introduction to the Quran and the religious practices of Muslims, written from a nineteenth century perspective. For a Dutch learner, the text is quite demanding. It features formal, academic vocabulary and long, complex sentences that reflect the intellectual style of the era. The themes focus on historical religious conflicts and the cultural perception of Islam in Europe. You will encounter archaic phrasing and intricate sentence structures that require careful attention to understand the author's nuanced arguments.

Questions about this book
What level of Dutch do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 29 h 36 min at a native pace, spread over 152 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
