Publisher's Note

All praise and thanks belong to Allah alone, the One, the Almighty, and the All-Merciful. Blessings and peace be upon Prophet Muhammad, the last of His messengers and prophets, and upon his family, his Companions, and all those who follow in his footsteps until the end of time.

It is quite disheartening that even though many Muslims today recite the Qur’an regularly, its application in their daily lives is almost non-existent. This stems from the fact that the Qur’an needs to be read with translation and explanation so that the context of each verse becomes clear, as well as the different ways it applies to one’s daily routine.

This comprehensive ten-volume exegesis of the Qur’an, beautifully penned by Imam Abdur-Rahman Nasir as-Sa‘di and translated by Nasiruddin al-Khattab, aims to do just that: make the meanings and explanations of the Qur’an easy to understand for English-language readers and provide them with take-home lessons from the incidents mentioned in it. May Allah accept the efforts of all those who contributed to the production of this book, and may it be acceptable to Him. Ameen.
