[Farhan Syah]

Among the best book to make you understand your responsibilty towards Quran. If you properly understand the message in this book, it will put you at the right attitude towards Quran.

The beauty and amazingness of Quran is forgotten, not because of others, but because of the Muslims ourselves. We claimed that we believe, but how many of us really understand the real meaning of Quran being sent to us.

[Kamran Wasti]

Jamal Zarabozo is as clinical as it gets. The book is a balanced middle-ground between standard Uloom ul Quran books and 'introduction to the Quran' works. He has a good grasp over all Tafseers that were available in English at the time. Much better read than either Ahmed Von Denfer's work or Bilal Philips' work on Uloom ul Quran.

[Muath Al-tarazan]

It's excellent
