I’m reading the translation by N.J.Dawood, published as a Penguin paperback. I hadn’t realized the extent to which Islam builds on the Torah and the Gospels: Abraham, Job, Isaac, David and Jesus all figure in the Koran, but the versions told there differ greatly from those “we” know.

The rules are simple:
1. Open your refrigerator.
2. Do not add or remove anything, however objects may be repositioned for clarity.
3. Take a photo.
4. Post the photo on your blog.
5. Invite the readers of your blog to do the same.
