Publisher's Note

All praises are due unto Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad, and upon his family, and all of his Companions. Thus to proceed:

This is an introduction concerning the Noble Qur'an. It is intended to present writings about the stories in the Noble Qur'an. In this writing we would like to discuss the Qur'an itself: Defining it, describing it, discussing its virtue, when it was revealed, and how it was revealed. Also we will discuss why it was revealed in separate parts, who compiled it, how it was compiled, and when was it compiled. Then we will discuss its distinguished characteristics, its many facets, its miracles, and other related discussions.

We have intended in this introductory study of the Qur'an to show the student its mistaken understandings, and to guide the Muslim youth towards the correct understanding of the Qur'an and its related aspects. It also has not evaded us that we should point out the wisdom of expounding upon the Qur'anic stories in the Qur'an. This is so that we can stop at the thresholds of the Qur'anic stories with an understanding of this book (the Qur'an) which holds these stories between its covers.

It is Allah, the Most High, Who I ask to make this matter easy for us, and that He make possible that this pen be from the pens of Islamic struggle that defend the religion of Islam, and spread every valuable aspect of the religion.

Allah is the One Who we seek help from, and He is behind our every good intention.

========================================================
This small book reached me last night, alhamdulillah, i was really waiting for this book, alhamdulillah, when finally the book reached me, i couldn't wait to start it, so started it last night as sleep left me for a long time, and then i read it on my way to college and back home in the train. alhamdulillah.

I have to say, this book although titled for children, it is really a very concise and very beneficial books for adults, when i saw its PDF sample pages, i was like i am no less than a child, i want it for myself. alhamdulillah.

the book goes over what the manager mentioned and also much more. the book gives pretty good detail history of compilation of qur'an and its names and also its virtues and merits of reading it and acting on it and also aspects that makes this Qur'an a miracle.

the book cited a statement of ibn taymiyah where he said: the one who doesn't read qur'an abandoned it, who reads and doesn't ponder over it, has abandoned it, and also who reads and ponders over it yet doesn't act by it, has abandoned it.

and one of the other thing i learned was the fact that: Qur'an was revealed TWO TIMES. One time it was revealed full from the preserved tablet to the lowest heaven, and then from there it was revealed to the prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam by Jibrail alayhe wasallam.

i never knew this part well, i once heard someone mentioned something like this but i never found this info. in any of my reading. subhan Allah.

also book goes over wisdom behind revealing qur'an in parts and also goes over which aya was revealed last and last.

maashaaAllah, there are so much important and yet very basic knowledge about Qur'an found in this book, very beneficial.

i really would recommend for everyone to read it, those who never read this book.

may Allah reward my two noble sisters through whom this book reached me. ameen.
