About The Book
For Muslims, the Holy Qur'an is an inexhaustible and hauntingly beautiful source of guidance, consolation and enlightenment. Above all, it is the very Word of God as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad Salallahu Alayhi Wa Salaam and protected for all time against falsification. Muslims' absolute certainty on this point is often difficult for others to comprehend, however majestic and eloquent the text, even in translation.
Shaykh ash Sha'rawi, a distinguished contemporary scholar from Egypt, has written a book designed to be read by Muslims and non Muslims alike. In plain and wholly logical language, Ash Sha'rawi presents objective and well documented evidence of the miraculous nature of the Qur'an.
The Miracles of the Qur'an, now presented in a fluent English translation, is divided into three parts. Part one discusses the nature of miracles and examines those linguistic and rhetorical characteristics of the Holy Qur'an which Muslims believe - and history has shown to be inimitable by man. In parts two and three the author demonstrates, by profound analysis of numerous passages from the text, that the Qur'an contains irrefutable proof of its direct revelation from Allah, the Omniscient Creator.
This authoritative and highly readable book is essential reading for anyone concerned in understanding the nature if the Holy Scripture of Islam.

About the author
Muhammad Metwalli al-Sharawi: Muhammad Metwalli al-Sharawi (1911-1998 CE) was among the most beloved Qurʾan teachers of the modern Arab world, honored in Egypt as Imam al-Duʿat, the "leader of the preachers." He was born on April 15, 1911, in the village of Daqadus near Mit Ghamr in the Daqahliyya province of the Nile Delta, and had memorized the entire Qurʾan by around the age of eleven. He pursued his studies at al-Azhar in Cairo, graduating from the Faculty of Arabic Language in 1941. Over the following decades he taught Shariʿa abroad, including years at Umm al-Qura University and at King Abdulaziz University in Makka, and he served as Egypt's Minister of Endowments (Awqaf) from 1976 to 1978 under President Anwar Sadat. Ashʿari in creed, al-Sharawi became a household name across the Arabic-speaking world through his televised Qurʾanic reflections, Khawatir al-Shaʿrawi, in which he unfolded the meanings of verses in simple, vivid language that reached scholars and ordinary listeners alike. His spoken commentary was later gathered into a large printed tafsir, and many shorter treatises on faith, the unseen, and questions of good and evil circulate under his name. He died on June 17, 1998, mourned widely across Egypt and beyond. The works offered here, on the Qurʾan's wonders, the hereafter, and the trials of this life, carry forward his gift for making scripture speak to the everyday believer.
