Keys to the Qur'an

The chapters include Surahs Fatiha, Baqarah, Al Imran, Yaseen, Al Ankabut, Al Rahman,Al Waqiah, Al Mulk and the entire Juz Amma (last section of the Qur'an). These explorations of selected chapters of the Qur’an are aimed at those seeking guidance and transformation in the modern world. Emphasising the timeless wisdom of the Qur’an, Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri uses the linguistic roots of the key terms to offer illuminating insights into its deep inner meanings, and shows its relevance to our present day lives. As a source of understanding for both Muslims and non-Muslims, this volume of 5 parts will be greatly valued.

The Qur’an reflects the absolute truth in all respects. It guides towards knowledge of numerous realities. In it one hears the eternal song of mercy, love and the oneness of creational reality. In the Qur’an we see the laws which govern the experiential, physical word as well as the subtle hidden worlds above and below.

The Qur’an tells the story of creation from before creation to beyond the end of creation. It takes one to its source—the timeless, boundless, All—Encompassing Absolute Creator.

Keys to the Qur’an is based on discourses given by Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri in America and Europe. This volume looks to the Qur’an for existential guidance and direction in this life. It does not resemble other traditional commentaries. It seeks from the Qur’an a way of living that will enable humankind, here and now, to travel courageously, purposefully and humbly toward enlightenment and awakening.
