Overview

This book is written for anyone interested in the basic message and purpose of the Qur'an and its historical and religious framework. It highlights the important issues and topics of the Qur'an. The Qur'an connects life on earth to its sacred essence and heavenly source which encompasses whatever there is in the universe. ""Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri's The Essential Message of the Qur'an invites the Western reader into a deep understanding of this important sacred text. As much misunderstood as the Qur'an is today, particularly in the popular media, so much more so does its wisdom and spiritual message offer insight on our present challenges. "" Dr. Neil Douglas-Klotz ""A treasure trove for every person eager to find balance, hope and, yes, light in the shadows of this world. It is a gift for every reader who is not content with the standard or one-dimensional view of Islam as another world religion, and the Qur'an as a closed book with no connection or message for those outside the orb of Arabia or Islam. Its message is as wise as it is welcome."" Dr. Bruce B. Lawrence ""Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri has written one of the most accessible, readable and informative introductions to the Qur'an. The Essential Message of the Qur'an carries the imprint of a person who has spent a lifetime immersed in the study of the Qur'an, and can rightly be considered as one of its authoritative modern interpreters."" Dr. Ali Allawi
