This book is an effort to understand the Qur’an with a modern mind. These reflections see the Divine Book as encountering the situation we face today – guiding the present-day world which it sees as being on the verge of destruction, due to its neglect of the Hereafter and prevalent lordship of Man over Man.
Every Qur’anic surah(chapter) is a complete discourse with perfect systematic coherence. The author’s aim is that the readers should be able to develop such a familiarttiy with the Divine Text as enables them to percieve how variuos themes within a surah are organized to highlight the basic insight of the surah. Obviously, it needs training and excercise.
The main book is composed of a study of al-Faitha and al-Baqarah. For the purpose of study, al -Baqarah is divided inot thirty-six sections. Every sectin is followed by study notes or reflections of very different lengths. There are eighteen notes on al-Fatiha and six hundred and thirty-nine on al-Baqarah.

How can I order a copy of Reflectoins on the Quran? Dr. Irfan Khan gave me a copy last year in Las Vegas and I would like to give it as a gift. I did not find it in the al-Furgan bookstore.
