Recommended Reads: Love in the Holy Quran

18 Dec Recommended Reads: Love in the Holy Quran

“An outstanding work, worthy of praise and esteem for its method, its content and its language.”
—H.E. Imam Prof. Dr Ahmad Muhammad al-Tayyib,
Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar and
supervisor of the thesis at al-Azhar University

Kazi Publications is excited to announce that it has just published the official English translation of Prince Ghazi’s monumental and widely-praised “Love in the Holy Quran” that is sure to forever change how you understand and engage with the Quran.

The Book
The author treats, in a simple and accessible style with reader-friendly and teaching-friendly features, not only of love of God and love of the neighbour, but also of family love; friendship; the stages of falling in love; sexual love; extra-marital love; beauty; taste and much more, all based entirely on the Holy Qur’an.
At least one verse from every chapter—and over one fifth of the total text—of the Holy Qur’an is cited.
It is written and structured both to be read in its totality and as individual ‘stand-alone’ chapters to be sampled at will. This work is thus essential reading not only for Muslims and those interested in Islam and the Holy Qur’an, but for all those interested in the secrets and mysteries of love as such.

“What the world should understand when it hears the Qur’an.”
