Dr. Mohammad Ali Shomali’s Lessons on Knowing the Quran (2020) offers a profound exploration of the Holy Quran, emphasizing its divine essence and enduring relevance. Structured in four parts, the book delves into the inner dimensions of the Quran, distinguishing it from introductory texts that focus on statistics or skepticism. Part one examines divine revelation, its types, and prophetic significance, supported by Quranic evidence in Classical Arabic with English translations. Part two (chapters 4–10) covers the Quran’s descent, its compilation, transparency, and exegesis trends, highlighting the role of Ramadan and the Eves of al-Qadr. Part three (chapters 11–14) explores the Quran’s reality, its significance in hadith, and its timeless vitality as a living scripture. Part four (chapters 15–18) guides readers on approaching the Quran, its recitation etiquettes, and contemplative stages, emphasizing its spiritual impact. A seven-page bibliography, primarily in Arabic, supports the study.
