Bassam Saeh

This study illustrates why the Qur’an’s language is miraculous, unique, and evidence of its divine authority. It guides readers to appreciate the beauty of the Qur’an, to become more immersed in it, and have a clearer understanding of its structure and flow.

Devoting special attention to Surah al-Muddaththir (chapter 74) to underpin his analysis, Saeh thus brings the Revelation to life, to demonstrate that each surah has distinct features and characteristics that make it stand out uniquely within the design and sweep of the whole.

This is a textbook for tafsir studies. It provides an introduction to tafsir methodology in addition to commentaries for the short chapters of the Qur’an.

A lively and highly readable English rendering of Tafhim al-Quran. This Tafsir answers contemporary questions and makes the Quran fully relevant to the concerns of our day, yet it loses none of its timelessness nor sacrifices any of the traditional understanding. Each surah is prefaced by an account of the background and teachings.

A thematic commentary by the late Shaykh al-Ghazali is a significant contribution to the first reading,i.e that of the quran-the repository of divine truth & enlightenment.Already of course there is a wealth,an abundance,of excgetical work on the quran.But while early scholars endeavored to elucidate many linguistic,historical,and miraculous aspects of the sacred & challengeing text,al-Ghazalis contribution is somewhat unique(and modern)in the sense that it focuses on the organic unity od each surah(chapter) highlighting the logic or inherant reasoning that courses through the surah & unifies its various components & images.
