An immense understanding of the Quran is offered here, a vast treasure of knowledge and deep insight and a valuable exposition of some social, political, economic and legal teachings of the Quran. But what makes this work unique is that it presents the Quran as a book to be lived by. With notes, an introduction and comprehensive index.
