Thus, I found the title and name ‘A Ray of the Qurʾān’ 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 Qurʾān 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 Qurʾānic Studies in particular… by one of the most eminent religious scholars…who was also a relentless… advocate for justice and…freedom." —Mohammad H.
