An Introduction To The Sciences Of The Quran

An Introduction to the Sciences of the Qur'an presents a detailed and thorough explanation of the sciences related to the history, understanding and implementation of the Qur'an. The book provides the English reader with a detailed analysis of classic Muslim scholarship regarding the process of Inspiration (wahy); the various means of classifying verses of the Qur'an; the history of the compilation of the Qur'an; the meaning of the seven a hruf and the ten qQra‘aat of the Qur'an; the miraculous nature of the Qur'an; the concept of abrogation in the Qur'an; the procedure and methodology of Tafseer; and many other topics. The work has a number of sections dedicated to explaining the traditional Muslim refutations of certain beliefs of the Ash’arees with regards to the Qur'an. This book also includes detailed discussions on the modern Western scholarship of the Qur'an. After presenting a history of the English translation of the Qur'an, along with a critical review of some translations, the author discusses and refutes common Orientalist polemic literature on the Qur'an. The work is unique in that it presents classical material in a simple and modern style while maintaining a high academic level. It is the most advanced work of its kind in the English language and a necessary reference for all serious students of Islamic knowledge.

Dr Yasir Qadhi has written numerous books and lectured widely on Islam and contemporary Muslim issues.

He has a powerful and energetic speaking style that is matched with scientific information, historical context, and critical analysis. Dr Qadhi is a strong critic of how extremists use religious claims to justify their violence – – so much so, that ISIS put out a statement calling for his death. Why is the threat to them? Watch his video on “American Foreign Policy and the Rise of ISIS,” below, and book today for a feature presentation.
