WORDS That Moved the World: How to Study the Qur'an aims at both Muslim and non-Muslim readers, to give them a glimpse of the Divine Message. It throws light on the relation between the Message and the life of the Messenger, and contains suggestions on how to study the Qur'an. The themes of the Qur'an have been presented in a historical perspective, based on simple language. Those interested in a preliminary and basic knowledge of the Qur'an will find it highly useful and rewarding. Qazi Ashfaq Ahmad obtained his Islamic education at Sanwi Darsgah, Rampur (India).
