“And We have certainly presented for the people in this Qur’ān from every [kind of] example that they might remember.” —The Qur’ān, Az-Zumar/39:27
“Whatever is written about the āyāt, and from the point of view of guidance by the Holy Qur’ān,…should not be counted as the final intent of the Holy Qur’an. Thus, I found the title and name ‘A Ray of the Qur’ān’ suitable for it.” —Sayyed Mahmoud Taleghani
“Taleghani chose his addressees among university students from various areas of studies of science instead of seminary students. Speaking with the language of the time—the language of the new sciences and new ways of learning— he tried to bring the Qur’ān to the scene of action and living, making it the guide to both the individual and societal lives of people.” —Abdolali Bazargan
“This is a very original and important book, and a welcome addition to the contemporary scholarship in the field of Islamic Studies in general and Qur’ānic Studies in particular… by one of the most eminent religious scholars…who was also a relentless… advocate for justice and…freedom.” —Mohammad H. Faghfoory
“It is not possible to overstate the importance of this translation of the invaluable, awe-inspiring and cogent contribution to understanding the causes of and solutions to the problems of human societies.” —Abbas Mirakhor
