High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! QXP, The Quran As It Explains Itself is a Tasreef-based understanding of the Qur'an presented in contemporary English that is easy enough even for teen-agers. It is not a literal translation. Tasreef is the Qur'anic process where verses in one part of the Qur'an explain or provide deeper understanding of the verses in other parts of the Book. Concisely, it means looking at the Qur'an in its Big Picture. The Quran, thus, lets us look at its terms and concepts from very diverse vantage points. This is how special care has been taken to explain every verse from within the Qur'an itself. The reader should expect to find The Quran As It Explains Itself different from the prevalent translations and explanations because of the use of Tasreef and the Quraish dialect, and for rejecting extrinsic sources. The author, Dr. Shabbir Ahmed (writer) has purposely refrained from explaining the Qur'an through extrinsic sources such as Hadith and a very questionable Islamic history.
