*About the Book:*
*Towards Understanding the Quran *is a fresh and highly readable English
rendering of Tafhim al-Quran, Jamaat-e-Islami founder and Islamic  
ideologue
Sayyid Abul Ala Mawdudi's monumental Urdu translation and commentary. An
immense wealth of profound understanding of the Quran is accumulated  
here,
so is a vast treasure of knowledge and deep insights, illuminating
historical accounts, and a highly systematic exposition of social,
political, economic and legal teachings. But what makes this Tafseer  
unique
is that it translates the Quran into a book to be lived by, a mission  
to be
lived for, and a duty that a reader can no longer evade or postpone.  
This
Tafseer answers contemporary questions, and makes the Quran fully  
relevant
to the concerns of our day. Each Surah is prefaced by an account of its
background and teachings. Maps and indexes add greatly to learning.

*About the author: *
Sayyid Abul Ala Mawdudi (1903-1979), one of the chief architects of the
contemporary Islamic resurgence, was the most outstanding Islamic  
thinker
and writer of his time. He devoted his entire life to expounding the  
meaning
and message of Islam and to organizing a collective movement to  
establish
the Islamic order. In this struggle, he had to pass through all kinds of
suffering. Between 1948 and 1967, he was put behind bars on four  
occasions,
spending a total of five years in different prisons in Pakistan. In  
1953, he
was also sentenced to death by a Martial Law Court for writing a  
"seditious"
pamphlet, this sentence being later commuted to life imprisonment. In  
1941,
he founded Jamaat Islaami, of which he remained Amir until 1972 and  
which is
one of the most prominent Islamic movements of our day. He authored more
than 100 works on Islam, both scholarly and popular, and his writings  
have
been translated into forty languages. Mawdudi died in 1979 after a  
lifetime
of serving Islam.

thought it possible to learn a language through the internet, but now  
I am convinced it is! I now know the alphabet and can't wait to get  
to the next level... will definitely recommend the course to people

just the letters. It gives access to a great set of references and  
one on one attention far better than if you were in a classroom. It  
is far better than any other online course I have ever taken.” Ayesha.

great support from teachers and fellow students, tech support was  
very responsive, even if I became ill or had some other emergency, I
