Subject: Inquiry regarding "The Glorious Quran"


Dear Mr. Safi,

Thank you for your reply to my questions, and since I don't have access
to the network for soc.rel.islam, might I ask if you forward my questions.

My name is Stephen Reinert.  I am a historian of late Byzantine and
early Ottoman history, and am studying the inter-relations between Byzantium
and the Ottomans during the late 14th century, especially the reign of
Yildirim Bayezid.  At Rutgers I teach a course in classical Islamic history,
and so I am very interested in the age of the Prophet (whom I respect), and
the early empire (Umayyad, Abbasid).  
   
Can you tell me if there is a Macintosh version of "instant computer based
access to the complete Quranic text in English", or anything similar?
Also, is anybody assembling a computer based access to hadith?
Thank you.

Stephen Reinert (SREINERT@zodiac.rutgers.edu)
