The Holy Qur'an is a religious scripture held sacred by over a billion people around the globe. Its message is considered timeless, even as it was revealed at a definite time in history. Countless scholars have studied and explained the meaning and the message of this book for many generations, and in many cases their understandings were shaped by the cultural and political forces around them. For the first time ever, the Qur'an has been translated and explained from the perspective of an American Muslim scholar. Yahiya Emerick, drawing upon the best in the classical Muslim tradition including such luminaries as Ibn Kathir, Zamakhshari, al-Ghazali, Ibn Taymiyyah, Razi and others, has crafted a thoroughly updated work emphasizing the historical and cultural background of the man who first taught this message - Muhammad, the son of 'Abdullah, peace be upon him. This translation and commentary provides a complete array of resources to help the reader understand the context in which the revelations were revealed. This in turn allows everyday readers to "step back in time" and "experience" the message along with those who heard it for the first time. Different points of view on interpretation and application are discussed and given equal respect, while all background information on the many nations and peoples that are mentioned are fully explored. This truly is a tafseer for our time. "Truly, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and in the alternation of night and day are signs for people who think deeply. They remember God while standing, sitting or lying down on their sides, and they contemplate the creation of the heavens and earth, (saying), "Our Lord! You didn't create all of this for nothing!"

The Practical Method to Learn and Teach the Holy Quran is the best way to teach recitation and memorization of the Holy Quran using the least time and effort, and in a way that is appropriate to the time we live in. This book contains three letters directed to:

1. Parents—about their role with their children and their children’s teachers to help them learn and teach Quran.
2. Our dear children—about their role in reading the Quran from the text and reciting it from memory.
3. Quran teachers—about their responsibilities toward their students and about how to teach the Quran practically.

The Holy Quran is the greatest thing that Allah has honored the Islamic nation with; it is a noble book which has falseness neither before it nor after it. The Islamic nation has always taken great care of the Quran. Ibn Katheer’s interpretation (may Allah grant him mercy) was the greatest and the most important book written in interpretation of the Holy Quran. Ibn Katheer was very proficient in the sciences of the Quran and the Sunnah, and he was very knowledgeable about the subjects that were being discussed. Therefore, his interpretation is the perfect combination of reporting the narrations and analyzing the issues. The Muslim ummah has benefited immensely from his work.

Al-Misbah al-Muneer is a one-volume summary of Ibn Katheer’s tafseer, to make it easy and accessible for every Muslim home to reach for the horizon.

The development of the disciplines and branches of knowledge which were related to the understanding of the Qur'an and arc considered necessary for this purpose - what is known as ulum al-Qur'an - began in the lifetime of the Prophet himself, peace and blessings be upon him. Numerous books have since been written on this subject, in most Muslim languages. However, until now there was no book in English language on this subject. The author has therefore rendered a great service by compiling the first English book,which fills a very serious and deeply-felt gap. An average English reader who has no access to an Arabic text like al-itqan had nothing to help him/her in understanding the Qur'an. This book is precise, brief, yet quite comprehensive. It deals with the traditional subjects such as meaning of revelation, history and transmission of the text, asbab al-nuzul, exegesis, etc. as well as issues of more recent origin, like recording of the Qur'an, orientalists' views, translations and others. The concluding chapter has valuable practical advice for reading and studying of the Holy Book of Islam.

The Qur'an in Plain English is the first book to simplify the meanings of the Qur'an for children, young people, and adults. Containing explanatory notes and a glossary, it is ideal as a textbook for schools and madrasahs.
