Quran Commentary

Book 198Book Structure & ContentsPart TwoQuran Commentary
Open Quran representing the Quran Commentary on Al-Baqarah and Ali Imran.

Quran Commentary highlights key verses through reason and the voice of conscience. It invites independent reading — without imposed interpretations. The focus is on truth, unity, and personal accountability before the Almighty.

You are invited to re-read the Quran on your own. Arm yourself with reason and listen to the voice of your conscience as you re-read every phrase of the Holy Scripture.

In this commentary, “Allah,” “the Almighty,” “God,” and “the Creator” are understood as different names for the One Divine Source — the same God acknowledged across traditions.
Readers may also wish to explore the chapter Holy Scriptures — Perception of God for a deeper reflection on how Divine Unity should be understood across sacred texts.

In this part of the book, an example is presented of reading selected passages from the Quran in order to identify and remove distortions that may have arisen during writing, rewriting, or translation of the texts.

Key reminder (Surah Al-Fatihah 1:6–7):

ٱهْدِنَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ ٦
6. Guide us to the straight path —
صِرَٰطَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ ٱلْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ٧
7. The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have earned [Your] anger or of those who are astray.

Perhaps it was originally said this way: “Go on the straight path and not on the path of the erring.”

Before studying these materials, it is recommended to read the following article in order to understand why purification of Holy Scripture is considered necessary in the end times:
