"Whatever is written about the ayat, and from the point of view of guidance by the Holy Qur'an,...should not be counted as the final intent of the Holy Qur'an. Thus, I found the title and name 'A Ray of the Qur'an' suitable for it." -Sayyed Mahmoud Taleghani
"Taleghani chose his addressees among university students from various areas of studies of science instead of seminary students. Speaking with the language of the time-the language of the new sciences and new ways of learning- he tried to bring the Qur'an to the scene of action and living, making it the guide to both the individual and societal lives of people." -Abdolali Bazargan

Bericht
"This is a very different approach to writing commentary on the Qur'an from those written by classical or contemporary traditional scholars in the Shi'a world. Its uniqueness comes from the fact that it was written mostly during prison time by one of the most eminent religious scholars of the twentieth century Iran who was also a relentless political activist, an advocate for justice and a champion of political freedom. The years he spent in prison brought him in close contact with political activists of diverse orientation all united in their opposition to the Pahlavi regime. As a result, A Ray of the Qur'an is also a window to the social and political history of Iran in the twentieth century. This is a very original and important book, and a welcome addition to the contemporary scholarship in the field of Islamic Studies in general and Qur'anic Studies in particular. The translator's labor of love must be acknowledged and congratulated for providing the readers of English language with this special work." -Mohammad H. Faghfoory, Professor and Director, Graduate Program in Islamic Studies, George Washington University
