In this concise but comprehensive book, Abdur-Rahmân Nâsir as-Sa‘di, a prominent scholar of the twentieth century, presents an eloquent, heart-warming text. He discusses some subtle meanings of selected Qur’anic verses. His reflections are informative and inspiring, covering topics like Allah’s sublime attributes; supplications of the Prophets; juristic opinions on the waiting period, oath of abstinence, and bequests; and general application of the Qur’anic injunctions in daily life.
