Reviews

[Nur · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've only read the first volume (Surah Albaqarah and Al Imran) but this is by far my favorite commentary on the Quran. Abul a'ala Mawdudi gives great insight from a very different perspective. A must read for anyone wanting to understand the Quran. It has been translated in English, title: Towards Understanding the Quran.
