In The Shade of The Qur’an Vol. 6 (Al-A’raf)  is much more than another commentary. However, it isn’t too far-reaching or outrageous to be considered a new interpretation. It’s a sincere, honest and sober examination of man’s current achievements and problems in light of the Qur’an’s message. It’s an attempt to vigorously explore its wisdom and expand its invaluable guidance in the interest of a more ‘sophisticated’ but highly perplexed society.

The Qur’an Vol. 6 (Al-A’raf) – This work, Sayyid Qutb’s most extensive and profound, covers the entire Qur’an text. It was completed over 15 years. Most of it was spent in Egyptian prisons during the 1950s and 60s. It contains Sayyid Qutb’s insights, highly regarded intellectual vigor and widely-acclaimed literary prowess.
