5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent to understand the inner meanings of the Quran, January 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Cow: Commentaries on Selected Chapters of the Qur'an (Keys to the Quran) (Paperback)

Shaykh Fadhlalla's approach in presenting the Quran is very different from the traditional approach. He brings out the deeper and inner meanings of each word and aya't (communication; verse) of the Quran. This is the way to look at his work. He is, however, a very difficult to understand as one has to be at a certain level; therefore, it's not for an averange reader.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too brief. Appears to be from a Shi'ite perspective., September 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Cow: Commentaries on Selected Chapters of the Qur'an (Keys to the Quran) (Paperback)

The book does not follow the traditional norms in reviewing and commenting on the Holy Book of Islam. Could be due in part to the fact that the man writing the book is using improper references or is himself a shiite. In which case the material should be considered worthless. There are many other books on these subjects available through Amazon and almost any would be a better buy. (sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings)
