• You cannot simply read the Quran,not if you take it seriously.You either have surrendered to it already or you fight it.
  It attacks tenaciously,directly,personally; it debates,criticizes,shames and challenges.
  From the outset it draws the line of battle, and I was on other side.

• Abdur Rab offers a comprehensive vision of Islam using the Quran as his sole religious textual source. He intentionally avoids the hadith literature, which he believes, and argues, has done much damage to the message of the Quran. His work provides many thought-provoking insights and should be a significant contribution to the 'Quran only' movement in modern Islam.
