They seem to be the people who are most in need of help/guidance.

Then, you will no longer feel the need to seek refuge in other man-made self-help books. Q - WHAT MAKES THIS BOOK SPECIAL? A - This is the ONLY book of its kind that has the Quran etiquette taken exclusively from the Quran and Authentic Ahadith. Moreover, full references are provided in the footnotes along with the hadith grading, so readers can check the sources themselves if they want. The book also addresses many misconceptions surrounding the handling and recitation of the Quran. This will prevent the readers from making those mistakes when approaching the Noble Quran. Q - WHY DID I WRITE THIS BOOK? A - Five years ago, when I first received the request from my sister to put together a book on Quran etiquette, most of the published work on Quran etiquette was filled with personal opinions. That is why; I decided to put together this book and spent countless hours to make sure that all the etiquette which I covered in it were exclusively taken from the Quran and Authentic Sunnah. Q - HOW SHOULD THE READERS TREAT THIS BOOK? A - This book should be treated as a constant companion of the Quran and should be in every house that contains the Glorious Quran. When the Quran is approached in a befitting manner, it will move and soften the hardest of hearts by the Mercy of Allah.

Download or read book Opening the Qur an written by Walter H. Wagner and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2010-07-02 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opening the Qur'an can be a bewildering experience to non-Muslim, English-speaking readers. Those who expect historical narratives, stories, or essays on morals are perplexed once they pass the beautiful first Surah, often shocked and then bogged down by Surah 2, and even offended by Surah 3’s strictures against nonbelievers. Walter H. Wagner “opens” the Qur’an by offering a comprehensive and extraordinarily readable, step-by-step introduction to the text, making it accessible to students, teachers, clergy, and general readers interested in Islam and Islam’s holy Book. Wagner first places the prophet Muhammad, the Qur'an, and the early Muslim community in their historical, geographical, and theological contexts. This background is a basis for interpreting the Qur'an and understanding its role in later Muslim developments as well as for relationships between Muslims, Jews, and Christians. He then looks in detail at specific passages, moving from cherished devotional texts to increasingly difficult and provocative subjects. The selected bibliography serves as a resource for further reading and study. Woven into the discussion are references to Islamic beliefs and practices. Wagner shows great sensitivity toward the risks and opportunities for non-Muslims who attempt to interpret the Qur'an, and sympathy in the long struggle to build bridges of mutual trust and honest appreciation between Muslims and non-Muslims.
