The Quran - Made Simple With Concise Commentary

The Noble Qur’an is the greatest of the books of God. It is the most outstanding book ever to appear on the face of the earth. It is not merely a compilation of chronicles of an ancient people, nor yet of a group of Prophets, or even of all Prophets. Nor is it solely a book of morals. It is certainly not just a book of science, and it is not simply a book of rules and laws. Rather, it is a set of arguments in the Divine tongue setting out exactly why the reader, or listener,should recognise Allah, glorified be He, submit to Him, glorified be He, and follow the Divine religion. These arguments are both rational, addressed to the mind, and spiritual, addressed to the heart. In the Divine words the Noble Qur’an is a book ‘of guidance’, guiding man from darkness to light, from evil to good, from ignorance to knowledge, from uncertainty about the origin and the end, and about man’s role in the world, to certainty and conviction.
