Description from the publisher:

This exegesis/commentary of the Holy Quran is a scholarly masterpiece of distinction; engaging and authentic. Moreover; it contains scholarly reflection and explanation on important topics in the light of the Holy Quran. The Holy Quran is the Word of God in its original purity. It was revealed to the Messenger and the Prophet of Islam Muhammad (pbuh) in the classical Qur Ă¢nic Arabic. The Elliptical style of the language of the Holy Quran is beautiful and unique. Its language shifts drastically between a highly poetic diction and metaphors and a self- understood sequence of the message. It deliberately omits intermediate thoughts and words; thereby focusing concisely on the core message. Another powerful feature of the Quranic Arabic is the derivation of its vocabulary from its root alphabets. The permutation of these root elements open up a rich and complex world of meanings and associations; both lexicological and symbolic. This unique style reached its utmost perfection in the Holy Quran. What has been said so far is simply to alert the reader of this exegesis of the Holy Quran; of the difficult task confronted by the commentators and the fact that the human knowledge cannot fully fathom and comprehend the Words of the Almighty God Allah. This exegesis (commentary) of the Holy Quran involves explaining the message of the Quranic verses; clarifying its import; and discovering its significance. In order to render this unique and scholarly style and diction into ordinary prose; this exegesis/commentary provides missing links so as to understand the Quranic Arabic phrases in its original sense. This commentary invites us to leave behind our doubts; our conventional and limiting beliefs; go beyond blind faith; and follow His way that shall lead us to reach the certainty of the existence of the Most Gracious and Ever Merciful. It is not to be expected that all the transcendent excellencies and the miraculous beauties of the Holy Quran could be unveiled here. Nevertheless; this team of the Muslim scholars; have identified and explained some great pearls of wisdom embedded in the Holy Quran.
