MashaAllah an excellent and concise primer on the Quranic Sciences. I teach at an Islamic middle school and have used this book as the primary student source for our 8th grade Quranic Sciences unit (while utilizing Mufti Taqi Uthmani's "An Approach to the Quranic Sciences" for more detailed background information). Highly recommend as a primer to get the gist of the subject, and for educators to utilize as a student resource.

Very good book on the topic of Quranic studies ,Goes over the topics and the introduction of those sciences. I recommend this book for any starting as a student

Very well written, concise but with enough examples, to understand the Sciences of the Qur’an. Readability is easy and flowing well. It would have been great if the Qur’anic texts mentioned, would have been shown separate instead of it being embedded in the paragraphs.

It is a fantastic book, but it leaves out a lot to summarize it all in about one hundred pages, so if you want to study this subject in more depth, get a different book. I knew this when I bought the book and I truly enjoyed reading it.For whatever reason, the kindle edition of the book doesn't open on Kindle devices. I suppose you can open it on a computer using the kindle app, but the kindle format is incompatible with the actual kindle devices, so if you are thinking about getting this book, get a hardcopy. It is a nice read for any Muslim.

Got this because I love everything that IOK has to offer, and I also love Shaykh Furhan Zubairi and his great prose. Suffice to say, this book is great and introduces the topic of Quranic sciences in a way that all will understand. Spare yourself a couple Starbucks runs and get this instead!

Very clearly written, beneficial read. It is concise and covers foundational topics. Must read.
