ABOUT THE BOOK

What is in the Quran? by Prof. Abdur Raheem Kidwai is widely regarded as one of the most accessible and systematic introductions to the Holy Quran for the modern reader. The Third Revised & Expanded Edition (often published by Sarup & Sons or Viva Books) is an updated version that includes more contemporary context and a more detailed subject index.

Unlike a traditional cover-to-cover translation, this book is an analytical survey. It is designed for those who want to understand the content, themes, and structure of the Quran without getting lost in the complexity of classical Arabic exegesis (Tafsir).
