IN THE SHADE OF THE QUR'AN

                 We went to return a book that we picked it wrongly. we found more useful books. I was passing by Religion section in Book World (Dubai Mall), I stopped in a minute once I saw books with author name Syed Qutb. MaashaAllaah! WOW!!! I found that Fee Lilalil Quran (In the Shade of the Quran) in English all volumes (18 Volumes). I just bought all of them. If anybody wants to read, you are always welcome to my home. No lending by the way. I have been waiting for this translation for 14 to 15 years. (28th September 2011)

                         Today I have started reading it. Introduction to this tafseer by Sayyid Qutb is fascinating. Just find one paragraph from the introduction : To Live "in the shade of the Quran" is a great blessing which can only be fully appreciated by those who experience it. It is a rich experience that gives meaning and blessing to life and makes it worth living. I am deeply thankful to Allaah Almighty for blessing me with this uplifting experience over a considerable time, which was the happiest and most fruitful period of my life - a privilege for which I am eternally grateful.
