Islam in General

The fundamental conception, on which this book is based upon is to, primarily dispel the false accusation and concept of Islam being a violent religion which preaches the spilling of blood to its followers in light of explaining the concept of fair war in various theologies apart from Islam such as Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism. The author Syed Abul Ala Maudoodi himself refrains from presenting their own opinion rather the notion is supported by referring to the teachings of Islam and its laws without any alterations and presented exactly as inscribed in the Holy Quran, the Hadith and books of Islamic jurisprudence. To present our own belief system, commandments, teachings and codes and put forth arguments in support of them following which it is left to the reader’s intellect.

“As Muslims we are commanded by Allah to constantly be reading and reflecting from the verses of the Quran. However, at times when we aren’t native to the Arabic language, we can feel discouraged from not understanding the themes presented. This has now been made a lot easier and thought provoking with this beautiful effort in front of you. Br. Hasan has done all the legwork of categorizing the verses in the Quran into underlying themes of truth and falsehood. This gives us a strong understanding of what the verse is communicating without the reader needing to be well versed in Arabic. This book will suffice in familiarizing a reader with the main concepts of Islam and what Allah is actually saying. With chapter summaries at the beginning of each theme and the references for all the verses, this is a must have in every Muslim’s life. It will be useful to use as an encyclopedic work to look up all the verses under different concepts easily and will lead you to conclusions maybe otherwise devoid of. There have been many blessed and amazing efforts of trying to make the meanings of the Quran more accessible to everyone, and this by far is one of the best and most useful works I have come across”.

"Rhetorical questions and parables in the Noble Quran are profound means of transmitting deep wisdom but requires a discerning eye. And that is precisely what Mr. Nausherwan Hasan has been able to accomplish in this scholarly yet accessible book, which will bless the seeker of many generations. Within the many rhetorical questions in the Quran are subtle substantive, descriptive, normative, and prescriptive insights which the author has extracted carefully, faithfully and meaningfully, from the words, the contexts and the clues, to make manifest their latent, universal, and enduring wisdom. The book is a gift for those who unceasingly search for truth in the infinite treasures of the Quran".
