Description on back cover:
Two hundred and sixty-five titled selections from the Qur’an with interpretations highlighting the essential spiritual themes, presented in a fresh contemporary translation of high literary quality. An essential source book for Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
One of the most compelling needs of our time is to help people understand how and why the Qur’an has guided and inspired generations of human beings for more than fourteen centuries. If you are new to the Qur’an, we hope that this book will provide a balanced view of the Heart of its content. If you are already a student of the Qur’an, we hope that these selections will perhaps awaken a new appreciation for the universal spiritual wisdom of the Book.
The interpretations are not meant to be the final word, but rather a point of entry to the universe of meaning offered to us by the Qur’an. The reader will encounter a variety of viewpoints and understandings and will be encouraged to deepen his or her understanding by reflecting upon the material offered here. In some cases the interpretations offer background information that establish a context for the verses. In other cases one might be opened to a direct soul encounter with the words themselves.
The most frequently quoted interpreter in these pages is Muhammad Asad, who, more than anyone in the twentieth century, assimilated the traditional commentaries and integrated them into the most comprehensive commentary available in any language. In addition; the extensive commentaries of Yusuf Ali shed much light on the selections offered here. In these pages you will also find classical commentators like Kashani, contemporaries like Fadhlallah Haeri and Michael Sells, and even some interpretations by Islamic laymen who offer the fresh view of the non-specialist.
