Publisher's Description: This small book, part of our new Occasional Paper Series, brings into sharp relief established attitudes of Western academia toward the Qur’an, especially as evidenced in the only extant multi-volume reference work on the Qur’an in English—Brill’s Encyclopaedia of the Quran. The author exposes layers of centuries-old polemical literature against the Qur’an entrenched in putatively “rigorous and academic scholarship”, and underscores the need for Muslims to produce an alternate reference work on the Qur’an.
This exegesis of Surah al-Kahf explains, in the light of the Qur'an, the challenging issues of the modern times and what guidance we can get from this surah to find a solution.
This book highlights the facts that were not known before the turn of the 20th century and have just started to be understood within the framework of the recently introduced theory of landforms and plate tectonics. It discusses these in the light of the Qur'anic description on mountains. See for yourself how such explicit, precise, and comprehensive scientific statements provide an eloquent testimony to the belief that the Qur'an is the Word of the Creator. Includes many colored illustrations. Although it will be of value to anyone interested in the Qur'an, it is a must read for those studying earth science and geology.
Translation of Qur'ani Ifadat, a collection of Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi's reflections on Qur'anic verses gathered from his talks, books, and magazine articles.
In the written Qur’an, known as “mushaf,” the chapters are not arranged in the chronological order of their revelation, so the first and last verses in the mushaf are not the first and last revealed verses, respectively. There are a number of had?ths and historical reports about which verses and chapters were revealed first and last. This book examines the credibility of each report, evaluates the views of scholars, and presents its own conclusions. Focused on the subject of the first and last revelations of the Qur’an, this book is by far the most comprehensive and complete study of this area of the Sciences of the Qur’an.
Of all the writings of Mawlana Azad, his exegesis of Surah al-Fatihah (The Opening Chapter) in his Tarjuman al-Qur'an is a masterly introduction to the study of the Qur'an. Students of the Qur'an will find therein a store of Quranic knowledge such as is not found in current commentaries. This work is an analytical summary of it, reproduced in the very manner of Azad's exposition.
This work focuses on one of the sciences of the Qur'an, the study of the names of its chapters (surahs). It explains the origins of these names and tries to identify the pattern of naming each surahs.
In this seminal work, the author suggests that each chapter of the Qur’an contains at least one distinct theme that underlies—and shows the logical connection—between every verse of that chapter. Moreover, he proposes that the chapters themselves take together make up a deliberate and unique portrait of human beings and of the spiritual life. Finally, the author argues that the secrets to the themes are contained and shown in the hadith literature describing the spiritual rewards and effects (fada’il) of various different chapters of the Qur’an.
Herein, the reader will not only learn many valuable points but will also appreciate the shortcomings which prevent reaping full advantage from study of the Holy Book. Many miraculous facets will also come to light which may not have been described in detail perhaps in any other book in English.
