Reviews
“This valuable introduction to the study of the Qur’an by a prominent Azhar scholar provides a rare glimpse of applying modern textual-historical methodology to the study of Muslim scriptures. M. A. Draz understood the challenges of this critical methodology and attempted to respond to some of the persisting questions about the reliability of the Muslim scriptures and its misapprehended message of peace.” — Abdulaziz Sachedina, Frances Myers Ball Professor of Religious Studies, University of Virginia, “This valuable introduction to the study of the Qur’an by a prominent Azhar scholar provides a rare glimpse of applying modern textual-historical methodology to the study of Muslim scriptures.

Much has been written about the Qu’ran in English, mainly by non-Muslim scholars: here we have a work by an outstanding Muslim scholar, who combines his deep knowledge of the Qu’ran and Muslim scholarship with an impressive familiarity with French and English works on the subject. This is a book that commends itself to anyone wishing an authoritative, balanced and intellectually engaging introduction to the Qu’ran” — Muhammed Abdel Haleem, King Fahd Professor of Islamic Studies, SOAS, London, “This valuable introduction to the study of the Qur’an by a prominent Azhar scholar provides a rare glimpse of applying modern textual-historical methodology to the study of Muslim scriptures.
