About this title

Synopsis

The volume comprises a commentary on 37 short chapters (chapters 78-114) found at the end of the Qur'an along with chapter 1 (al-Fatihah). The author's fresh and innovative approach, characterized by an easy-to-understand and non-polemical style empowers all readers, not just a privileged class of experts or specialists, to operationalize the Qur an by making it meaningful and relevant within his or her own time and cultural framework. As such, his commentary seeks to at least partially address the lamentation of Ali Shariati: "The prayer book was brought from the graveyard into the city while the Holy Qur'an was taken away from the citizens in the city and given to those at the graveyard who read for the souls of the dead."

Review

"The Qur'anic commentary of Abdolali Bazargan provides an important example of contemporary Muslim thinking about the sacred text, well informed by tradition but original in its approach. Rich in moral reflection, and deeply informed by the internal connections within the Qur'an, this interpretation is a valuable resource for any serious student of the Qur'an."
