The Reasons for Revelation of the Qur'an

'The Reasons for the Revelation (of the Qur'an)' was translated into English by Sameh Strauch for the benefit of English-speaking Muslims and students of the sciences of the Qur’an. Many verses of the Qur’an were revealed in response to a particular situation or question that arose in the young Muslim community.

By understanding the context in which particular verses were revealed, we can attain a deeper understanding of the meaning of these verses and better insight into how these verses guide aspects of our daily lives. This is an authentic book about the Qur'an every Muslim should try and read.

Such an understanding, however, is critical in order to comprehend thoroughly the guidance laid out for us by Allah in this Majestic Book.
