Journey Through The Qur'an: The Content and Context of the Suras

About The Book "Journey through the Qur'an" is the last and perhaps the most important work of the Egyptian scholar Sheikh Muhammad al-Ghazali. Whereas previous commentaries have always concentrated on explaining individual words and verses of the Holy Book, Sheikh al-Ghazali examines and explores the general theme or themes of each Sura in turn, and shows how they are expounded in the text. Drawing upon his profound classical Islamic learning and an extensive knowledge of modern science, Sheikh al-Ghazali has broken new ground in Qur'anic studies, bringing to bear a fresh but wholly authentic approach. This is a work which all serious students should have, to complement the classical tafsirs and studies. Indeed, "Journey through the Qur'an" will prove useful to all, Muslims and non-Muslims alike, who desire to increase their knowledge and understanding of Allah's final Revelation to mankind. ​About The Translator Aisha Abdurrahman Bewley, born 1948 in the United States.
