A Ray of the Qur'an Volume I

And We have certainly presented for the people in this Qur?an from every [kind of] example that they might remember." - The Qur'an, Al-Zumar/39:27 "Whatever is written about the ayat, and from the point of view of guidance by the Holy Qur?an,…should not be counted as the final intent of the Holy Qur'an. Thus, I found the title and name 'A Ray of the Qur?an' suitable for it." -Sayyed Mahmoud Taleghani "Taleghani chose his addressees among university students from various areas of studies of science instead of seminary students. Speaking with the language of the time-the language of the new sciences and new ways of learning-he tried to bring the Qur?an to the scene of action and living, making it the guide to both the individual and societal lives of people." -Abdolali Bazargan "This is a very original and important book, and a welcome addition to the contemporary scholarship in the field of Islamic Studies in general and Qur?anic Studies in particular… by one of the most eminent religious scholars…who was also a relentless… advocate for justice and…freedom." -Mohammad H. Faghfoory "It is not possible to overstate the importance of this translation of the invaluable, awe-inspiring and cogent contribution to understanding the causes of and solutions to the problems of human societies." -Abbas Mirakhor
