An Introduction to the Sciences of the Qu'ran Hardcover – 1 Oct. 1999

Great book,

Very accurate account of the sciences of the Qur'an.

Amazing book

A well structured text, useful as an introduction to the subject. It would have been a better text if scholarship outside of the Sunni tradition was referenced.

This book has helped me understand the history of the Quran and some key concepts such as the seven ahfrufs soo much. Every Muslim needs a book like this!!

Heard a lot of good things about it from various academics, will be buying this soon insha'Allah.

This books provides an excellent, detailed introduction to the sciences of the quran, including what is the quran, how it was revealed, how it was put into chapters, how the verses were ordered, why verses were revealed, how the quran has been preserved in its original form, the miracles of the quran and much, much more!!! A very interesting read, definately recommended. Provides a really good understanding of the quran that is easy to read and follow.

Qadhi lived in the west, but also studied with the traditional muslim scholars in the middle east. For this reason, I believe that both muslims and non-muslims can benefit from it. Most of the other books written on this subject are by orientalists.He gives us a glimpse on most of the sciences that are related to Qur'anic studies, and that are necessary to be learnt if one is to understand the Qur'an properly. Some subjects covered are: the causes of revelation, abrogation, and multiple readings of the Qu'ran.
