A Thematic Commentry of the The Quran

qa04
Larger picture
Shaykh Muhammad al-Ghazali..
This commentary is a significant contribution to the first reading, i.e. that of the Quran - the repository of divine truth and enlightenment. Already off-course there is abundance of exegetical work on the Quran. But while early scholars endeavoured to elucidate many linguistic, historical and miraculous aspects of the scared and challenging text, al-Ghazali's contribution is somewhat unique and modern in the sense that it focuses on the organic unity of each surah(chapter) highlighting the logic or inherent reasoning that courses through the surah and unifies its various components and images.

The Qur`an

qa09
Larger picture
Translated by T.B. IRVING
It is common knowledge that The Quran untranslable, because its form and content are both divine. Its meanings, however, may be interpreted in other tongues. Obviously no interpretation can express the whole range of meanings contained in any given verse. But it can bring to light many a connotation which has escaped our attention in the past. In this respect the present translation breaks new ground, making refreshing reading even after all the other translations have been read.

The Quran, An eternal Challenge

qa27
Larger picture
Muhammad 'Abdullah Draz
This book is unique in its approach to the Qur'an. It argues the point that only God could author such a book, and that Muhammad could have never produced anything like it. While this objective has been attempted by several Muslim scholars who highlighted one aspect or another of the topics tackled in the Qur'an, Dr. Draz's work is perhaps the first that relies totally on the merits of the Qur'anic text for an irrefutable proof.
 

Themes of the Qur`an: What does the Qur`an say to us?

qa33
Larger picture
Dr Saleem Sabiha MBBS
Dr. Sahiha Saleem's work here has been to extract certain themes which have always been understood by knowledgeable Muslims as key themes of the revelation, although for the readers new to the Quran and reading it for the first time. they are often not immediately aware of the significance of the repeated and yet subtly varied statements that thread their ways through the text. Thus although it is now almost universally known even to non-Muslims that establishment of the prayer is one of the essential five pillars of Islam. it is not at all well known - sometimes even to contemporary Muslims - that the life-transaction of Muslims itself comprises not just Islam. but also Iman and Ihsan, nor in what they comprise. Thus this book will, in particular, introduce the person new to the Qur'an to some - not necessarily all - of the key themes of the revelation in a systematic way. and hopefully lead them to read the entire Quran as it is meant to be read, from beginning to end and back to the beginning again.

Ulum Al-Qur`an

qa01
Ahmad Von Denffer
An Introduction to the Sciences of the Qur'an.

The development of the disciplines and branches of knowledge which were related to the understanding of the Qur'an and were are considered necessary for this purpose - what is known as Ulum al - Qur'an - began in the lifetime of the Prophet him self (P.B.U.H). This book is precise, brief yet quiet comprehensive. It deals with the traditional subjects such as meaning of revelation, history and transmission of text, asbab al - nuzul, exegesis, etc. as well as issues of more recent origin, like recording of the Qur'an, orientalists' views, translations and others. The concluding chapter has valuable practical advice for reading and studying of the Holy Book of Islam.
