Reviews

Razi's Tafsir is a monument to Islam's great tradition of learning and an incredibly rich pathway into it. Making it accessible to an English-speaking audience, by a translator who is a scholar himself, is a great contribution that will be appreciated by many for many years to come. ---Jonathan AC Brown, Georgetown University, USA.--- Dr. Sohaib Saeed offers us a meticulous and readable translation of a masterpiece of Qur'anic exegesis by the great Muslim intellectual Fakhr al-Din al-Razi, whose goal was to illuminate every possible shade of meaning of the Muslim Revelation, from moral-ethical and legal, to rational and allegorical-mystical, not to mention linguistic, grammatical and historical. A must-read for every serious student and connoisseur of the Qur'an. ---Alexander Knysh, Professor of Islamic Studies, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA.
