About The Qur'an With Annotated Interpretation In Modern
Product Description Literal translations of the Qur'an may often sound irrelevant and fail to correspond to the original meaning. Therefore, many scholars recommend studying the Qur'an through interpretations with commentaries that deal with the reasons for revelation (asbab an-nuzul) and notes for specific references. This book is a comprehensive source that combines interpretation and commentary with extensive notes of explanation. From the Inside Flap "The eloquence and deep learning of this volume speaks to people from all faiths. Framed by an introduction, extensive notes, and several appendices from a master of tafsir and ta¹wil (Qur¹anic interpretation and commentary), this volume attests to the universal appeal of Islam¹s holiest book. Readers, who are new to the study of the Qur¹an, as well as those who are already immersed in its beauty, will benefit immensely from Unal's annotated translation." -- Professor Bernadette Andrea, University of Texas at San Antonio "The introductory material explaining both the provenance and interpretation of the Qur'an is among the most useful I have encountered in existing editions. Non-Muslim readers will certainly benefit from the general explanation of interpretation and commentary on the Qur'an, as well as the clear explication of how the text is presented in this edition. And here I compliment you on presenting a clearly Islamic understanding of the text which neither panders to political correctness nor seeks unnecessary conflict or confrontation with non-Muslim communities. It is increasingly recognized that casual readers of the Qur'an are more likely to be confused than enlightened if they simply read a literal translation in its given order." --Robert Hunt, Professor of Religion, Southern Methodist University "Ali Unal's translation is one of the best English translations of the last few decades. The language is both lucid and faithful to the original Arabic. The commentary is extremely valuable for two main reasons. The first is the degree to which it roots itself in the classical tafsir tradition, bringing to its audience the insights of centuries of classical Qur'an interpretation. The second is its focus on the spiritual teachings and implications of the verses--a focus that is far too rare in many other contemporary commentaries." --Scott C. Alexander, Professor of Islamic Studies, Catholic Theological Union About the Author Ali Unal is a renowned scholar and a prolific translator of works with an Islamic theme into English. His published books include Living in the Shade of Islam, Islamic Perspectives on Science, Islam Addresses Contemporary Issues, The Resurrection and the Afterlife, and The Qur'an with Annotated Interpretation in Modern English.
