About The Book
The Endless Banquet (Volume Two) is the second part of Shaykh Hamzah Abdul Malik’s reading guide to help the average person understand the broader meanings of the Qur’an. This book picks up where The Endless Banquet (Volume I) left off, and explains each Surah of the middle third of the Qur’an by grouping its ayat together according to shared themes, to help you study its fundamental meanings and their connections with one another. It is followed by The Endless Banquet (Volume III), which covers Juz 21-30.
The Endless Banquet (Volume Two) will help you discover:
-
Juz 11 to 20
-
The benefits of the Qur’an’s repetition of certain phrases, & stories, albeit with different variations & details
-
The wisdom of ayat shift from discussions of law to stories, to theological arguments, to descriptions of heaven and hell
-
Connections between each Surah
-
The wisdom & significance in the order of the Surahs
-
How each Juz is divided upon overarching themes
-
The context in which certain ayat were revealed & why these verses are still relevant today
The Endless Banquet is designed to help you develop a deeper appreciation for the Qur’an - especially the parts which most people don’t ordinarily read. This will increase your sense of wonder and awe at the Qur’an, so that you may seek to learn more, and be inspired to ask new questions about Allah’s final revelation. As you become more familiar with its subtleties, your personal relationship with the Qur’an will naturally grow stronger, if Allah wills.
Each chapter of The Endless Banquet covers one Juz. Written in easy-to-understand language, this book aims to inspire a new generation of readers of the Qur’an, among Muslims who are comfortable reading and speaking English.
The Endless Banquet was written in the hope that the Qur’an may open the hearts of all who read it, and to help you become inspired by its meanings, its relevance to the present day, and its connections to the human condition and to your own life. The Endless Banquet will help you to rekindle your love for the Qur’an, if Allah wills.

About the author
Hamzah Abdul-Malik: Shaykh Hamzah Abdul-Malik is an American Islamic scholar who committed the Qur'an to memory at a young age and subsequently traveled overseas for close to two decades of classical Islamic education in Morocco, Syria, Yemen, and Egypt. His curriculum encompassed the Arabic language, the Maliki madhhab, grammar, usul al-hadith, and two traditions of Qur'anic recitation. At the conclusion of his studies he received an ijaza al-tadris - a formal license to teach, equivalent to a postgraduate degree in Arabic and Islamic studies - along with an unbroken chain of transmission authorizing him to narrate the major hadith collections, including the Muwatta of Imam Malik and the Sihah al-Sitta. Upon returning to the United States, Shaykh Hamzah spent several years as resident scholar at the Thawr Institute in Seattle, working alongside Darul Qasim, CAIR, and the Halal Food Standards Alliance of America. He is currently the resident scholar at Ribat, a center for Islamic learning in the Midwest. He is a faculty member of the Imam Ghazali Institute and is the author of The Endless Banquet, a thematic three-volume explanation of the Qur'an, and The Qur'an Code, a study of themes from Juz 'Amma, both published by Imam Ghazali Publishing.
