5.0 out of 5 stars for everyone, June 17, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: In the Shade of the Quran (Paperback)
This is the most beautifully written Tafseer I have ever read. It touches your heart, and opens your eyes. The 30th volume of the Quran deals with matters of faith, and the human nature. Qutb's writting is simple yet thought provoking. Also, kudo's to Salahi and Shamis for doing an excellent translation that retains as much as possible the both the beauty and meaning of the original text.

5.0 out of 5 stars A BETTER WORLD YET TO COME, March 2, 2011
Qutb's tafseer is by far the most reliable and the most understandable of all tafseers written. It is a social commentary as well as a framework for a better world or a better community, "You are indeed the best nation that has ever been raised up for mankind: you enjoin the doing of what is right and forbid the doing of what is wrong and you believe in God." this is one of the main ideas of "living under the Shade of the Qur'an"

But the salient point of this amazing tafseer is Tawheed. Withour it, humanity is lost and there is no redemption in this life or the life to come.
I greatly recommend it, but be advised this is not an easy read.
