4.0 out of 5 stars A short but good commentary, March 24, 2001
This review is from: Essence of the Quran: Commentary and Interpretation of Surah Al-Fatihah (Paperback)
This book is a concise commentary of the first Durah of the Holy Qur'an.Compared to other voluminuous books that are written by other masters that requires considerable time to get the same point as this author, it is therefore very time concious book. It basically interprets the first sura that is praise to God by individual and Pray to God in behalf of all. I did not particularly like the introduction section. There the author has a language that seem to imply that Islam and monotheism is perfected by Prophet Mohammed (pbh)rather than it being a direct revelation from God. In the interpretation of the last ayat language seems to have been softened even though the author agrees about the validity of the hadit he mentiones in that part. I find it very interesting and correct the way author describes what different belief people think when they say God or Allah. I do not know what other Believers think but although it might be wrong I also have a different feeling when I utter the word "God" and "Allah" or "Rabb". He might also be wrong too for "Allah" or "Rabb" is defined in the Holy Qur'an but the word "God" is not defined and we just identify it as being equal to "God" which is defined in other beliefs and they have different concept of it such as Trinity Concept.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now I fully understand the true message of Islam. Incredible, May 5, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Essence of the Quran: Commentary and Interpretation of Surah Al-Fatihah (Paperback)
Dr. Basit has done a big favor to the students of Islam as well as to general readers interested in the study of religion. This comprehensive guide offers an informative and insightful discussion of perplexing issues that Muslims are confronting living in western society. The author who writes with imagination has done a superb job in delineating with the real message of the Quran. I will write no more. Read this book and you will fully agree with me.
